sas and Missouri and the labor COM
miltee of the latter state, in the gen.
eral interest OF commerce with III. M.
Hoxie and the chief attorneys for the
Gould system.
In discussing the propositions of the
governors of Missouri and Kansas for
a settlement of the troubles III. NJ.
Hoxie made the qualification that the
Missouri Pacific company can not re-
engage men who have injured or de-
strOyed its property, but will pay q
rate or wages equal to that of other
roads in the same section of country.
After the result OF the conference
had been communicated to the Execu-
tive Committee of the Knights of La
Dor. whose headquarters had been re-
moved from Sedalia TO this city last
night, a meeting Of that body was
called to take the matter into consider
alton. Nothing was decided on, and
another meeting will be held to-mor-
row. 1t seems to be the general opin-
ion, however, that the strikers must
accept the terms offered them, as Mr..
POwderly has expressed himself OPP
posed to the strike, and the Governors
who have investigated the grievances
have concluded that there was no
ground for it. The matter will no
doubt be settled tomorrow one way or
another. All was quiet at Sedalia,
Kansas City and other Western points
to-day, Texas being the only place
where there appears TO be any tendency
to violence.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 23.-The pro-
position of the Missouri Pacific Rail
road Company, addressed to the two
Governors was to-day rejected by the
Executive Board of the knights of
Labor, and the strik Ike will be continued
more vigorously.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 23.-At 8
o'clock yesterday morning general
strike was inaugurated among the
swltchmen in the railroad yards of this
city, and at a prearranged signal fu.
200 men quit work and ordered the en-
gines into the round-houses. The en-
gineers with few exceptions obeyed
the order, and the silence which has
for the last sixteen days soon settled
upon the remaining yards in this city.
The strike was not attended by any
sensational features. 1t had evidently
been carefully planned and faithfully
executed, and probably not half of the
men who quit work could, even If they
saw fit to do so, give amy definite in
formation as to cause of trouble. They
say, as the Missouri Pacific men said
some two weeks ago: ave have re-
ceived orders to quit work and have
Obeyed them; that is all we can say"
