| TROUBLE FEARED IN EAST ST. LOUIS,
ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 8.--Ihe rcsump-
ton OF freight traffic by the Missouri
! Pacific aud Iron Mountain railroads has
now become an acknowledged fact. For
/, the pastiaw days The officials Of the roads
have been sending outihe regular number
Of trains, which, although smaller III first
than they were accustomed TO be before
the strike, yesterday assumed their more
natural proportions and to-day, IL Is eX-
pected they will be as large as ever. No
more hindranco or Interference TO tho
running OF freight tralus upon these
roads Is anticipated.
East ST. Louis has now become the
point OF interest, and II Is expected that
the officials Of the different roads center
Ing IN that city will find II q difficult task
TO effect a resumption Of freight traffic
| All their efforts In this direction, with "A
few exceptions, have failed, and the
strikers, although they have an
nounced moral suasion as the
mode OF Interference, are determined
| il that shall fall TO resort 10 more violent
methods, and are determined that no
freight shall be moved until the Strike Is
ended. The railroad officials last night
decided upon running freight trains, and
will to-day make every effort TO attain
this end. When these attempts shall be
made 1t is expected serious trouble will
ensuc.
