JACKSONVILLE, FLA, March l5.-Iay
Gould today speaking for the first time
respecting The strike by the Knights OF
Labor oHthe Missouri Pacific and the re-
naming portion of the Gould Southwest.
ern system said to a representative OF the
Associated Press 81 first learned OF the
strike while at Havana and have been ad-
yised by telegraph OF the character of the
trouble, more particularly since my ar
rival here. rne strike on our system was
complete surprise to noe for two rea.
sons. First we had accedcd 10 all de-
mands which had been made upon
US by cur employees aud were
supposed TO be working ia harmony with
them Second The present strike is
made upon an issue with which we have
nothing to do and which we caunot pos
sibly arbitute or CONTROL "rhe pres-
emit strike," continued Mr. Gould, "origi-
mated In the discharge OF an employe
named Hall on the Texas 6 Pacific, which
road Is IN the hands OF the United
States court. We have no more right TO
attempt 20 control The working Of that
system than the Norklngmen themselves
and would be as completely In contempt
to do SO rs any outsider.n Regarding an
other aspect of the strike Mr.. Gould said /;
"The public maybe is not aware Of
II, but the same issue was raised when
some men were discharged on the Wa
bash railway at the time wien Il was ia
Tie control of the United States court
Mr. Powderly, chief OF The executive
committee Of the knights Of Labor,
called upon me q insure the Hstate.
ment OF these men The subject had been
fully discussed, and told him had no
power IN the matter, not even advisory,
without request from the court. In
that interview / told Mr.. powderly that II
there were any grievances among the
men II he would bring them TO our atten-
ton we would endeavor TO right them.
We recognized the necessity Of re-
naming ON good terms with our
people TO whom one-hHlf the earnings 81
the road 80 yearly. The present strike
came without notice and not in conse-
quence Of any grievance cited against us,
aud IN view OF my interview with Mr.
powdcrly, whom / believed TO be fair
minded man, 1t was also surprising to
me-" As to the future, Mr.. Gould said
al am advised that great numbers OF
strikers are not In sympathy with the
movement and will return to work as
soon as assured OF protection by the
civil authorities. II is our intention
TO resume at once and as fast
as this protection is Afforded In con-
clusion he declared he did not care 10
discuss other features OF the strike be-
yond the statement that the company
couldn't possibly join hands with the
knights OF Labor against the United
States supreme court In their war on an.
other system which he asserted the
present strike involved Mr.. Gould fur
Their asserted that the Knights OF Labor
had evidently discovered already through
public sentiment that they were ezerels-
ing power In favor of an issue
strictly against law and order;
and that was more OF war
against the general public than
the road. II was closing manufacturers
along the lines Of the road, was stopping
shipments of coal and other commodities
to points where the people were unable
to suffer great deprivation. II was more
the light Of this pablo than the company,
but the latter In protection Of It's own
lawful rights would exercise every lawful
energy to meet the demands Of those
patronizng the road IN all departments
Mr.. Gould states that ho was Ia receipt
OF kilograms from manufacturers aud
others along the company's lines, stating
they would be compelled 70 shat down,
but at the same time pla ing no blame on
the company or It's management.
