FoRT WORTH, Tex. March "a "A committee of
the District Assemblies, IS and 10l, Knights of
Labor, covering all the territory from Hannibal,
Mo-. to Laredo, Tex, furnish the Associated
Press long statement of the causes which led to
the strike on the Missouri Pacific road, in answer
to statements of Mr.. Hoxie and the Governors
of Missouri and Kansas that there were no griev-
ances The essential points made are: The
chief provisions of the contract of March, 1885,
between the road and the Knights of Labor were:
First-That the wages OF September. 1884,
were to be the basis, with one and one half time
for Sundays and over time over ten hours.
Second-No mans wages were to be reduced
without thirty days notice; that contract was to
be observed on all roads under the Mis-
souri, Pacific management, but, leaving
the Texas g. Pacific railway out
of the present consideration, that contract has
been broken, violated and ignored time after
time, to-wit: In many cases the September
wages were not restored, as the agreement pro-
vides; section foremen were reduced So per
month without any notice; boiler-makers
were sent out on the road from Den
ison, and allowed only one-half time
while travelling; engine-wipers in round-houses
were reduced from 81 26 to 81. Is per day. the
car foreman at Fort Worth was reduced $40 per

bic what they paid him; the foreman in the mill

circles, by the discovery that the Rev. V. A.
Ramsey. Of this place. had eloped last night with
dered more shocking by the fact that the rever-
end gentleman, who stood most high in the es-

beautiful She was regarded as an especial
friend Of her paramour's wife, Mr.. Ramsey

this insane action of his. Mrs. Ramsey, 1t is

Strike of switcbmen at st. Joseph.

6SIIk6 Oh SWltcDmOn AZ SC. OOscpns
KANSAS Cry, March 24-The switchmen OF
the various roads at St Joseph have gone out
They stopped work for the noon hour, as usual,
and at Il o'clock did not return to work. 1t is
not known here what their demand is. There
are six roads running into ST. Joseph-the Han
nibal & St Joseph, the Council Bluffs, the
Missouri Pacific, the Rock Island, the Grand
Island, Nebraska & St Joseph. and the Des
Moines narrow guage. While it is not positively
ascertained here, yet it is supposed that all
those lines are involved. A report says the
strike is general. Yardmasters are switching
some cars Of perishable freight so that they may
be unloaded otherwise no freight is moving.
A letter given to the press explains the situa-
tion. 1t is addressed to the merchants and citi-
zens and is signed by the committee. Itrecites
that the switchmen of all the roads in the city.
except the ST. Joseph e Grand Island petit
toned for an advance Of wages to the Chicago
scale. There was talk of concession by the
roads, but nothing was done; therefore, the yard
men yesterday gave notice that they would
strike to-day unless the advance was granted.
Receiving no reply to-day, the men quit work.
Business is at standstill. The strike origi-
mated In the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
yards, and spread to others. Superintendent
Barnard arrived from Kansas City tonight and
addressed the men. His remarks were not suf-
feient, however, and the strikers refused to go
to work. A conference has been called for to-
morrow morning, and it is thought probable
that at that time the difficulty may be adjusted.
The men disclaim any intention Of resorting to
violence, ana are orderly and sober.

The Strike Settled ON Secret Terms and

Gulf road, at whose Office the conference of rail
way officials was held this afternoon at o'clock,
gave out to the public that compromise had
been effected with the switchmen, and that all
the men will 60 to work at once. By the settle

men the Chicago schedule price. This raises the
blockade from the city, except as regards the
Missouri Pacific road.
The statement in a previous dispatch, quoting
Mr.. Nettleton as saying that the switchmen's
strike was settled on basis of Chicago prices,
was made on authority of an evening paper. Mr..
Nettleton, being interviewed later by an Asso-
ciated Press reporter, said that he had made no
such statement He could only say that the
strike had been settled. and that, he presumed.
was what the public desired most to know The
terms of settlement as yet, are kept secret. The
men returned to work at o'clock to night by or
der of Mr.. Monohagin, chief Of the association,
and are themselves ignorant of the prices fixed
upon. They are known only to the officials and
the strikers committee. It is assumed that an
advance was granted, or the committee would
not have compromised. The men are told that
they will know in few days what agreement
was made The idea is advanced that the officials
hope for an early settlement of the Missouri Pa
cifc strike, and consider it best to keep secret
this settlement. pending the adjustment of ex-
listing differences elsewhere. Freight trains are
rolling in and out of the yards to night, and they
will be crowded to their fullest capacity for some
days. Numerous trains had been side-tracked
in the vicinity on their way here, and will now
be brought forward as rapidly as possible.

AN EMPLOYERS VIEWS.
The Conclusions Of a Capitaiist-Adjustmen
Between Labor and Capital.

The Conclusions of Capitalist-Adju ustment
Between Labor and Capital.
Andrew Carnegie, in the Forum for April.
A strike or lockout is, in itself, ridiculous
affair. Whether failure or a success, it gives
no direct proof of its justice or injustice. In
this it tresembles war between two nations. 1t is
simply question of strength and endurance be-
tween the contestants. The gage of battle or
the duel is not more senseless as a means of es-
tablishing what is just and fair than an indus
trial strike or lockout 1t would be folly to con-
clude that we have reached any permanent ad-
iustment between capital and labor until strikes
and lockouts are as much things of the past as
the gage of battle or the duel has become in the
most advanced communities.
Among the expedents suggested for theirsbet-
ter reconciliation, the first place must be as
signed to the idea of cooperation, or the plan by
which the workers are to become part owners in

without notice; carmen were reduced $40 per
month without notice; many men worked over
the entire system eleven and twelve hours per
day without extra compensation; check clerks in
freight-houses were reduced $5 per month
without notice; men were discharged on no
other grounds than that they had taken
part in the strike of 1885, and new men were
employ ed in their places at less wages. A sys-
tematic method of discharging in detail and
replacing with cheaper men was being carried
out, which, if allowed to go on, would have
resulted in bringing the men back to the reduc-
tion basis against which they struck in 1885.
They assert that they stand ready to prove all
their assertions; that they bore with their
wrongs as long as they could; that they repeat
edly sought redress in vain, being put about
from officer to officer for no purpose, and that
finally, in sheer desperation, they struck.
