MIR. GouLD's ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

49, La t iH
He signs the letter "Jay Gould, Prestt,n
thus giving it his officisi stamp. He sees no
objection to arbitratiAg differences between
the Missouri Paci6Ss company and its am.
ployes. On the Strength of that, it was an.
nounced that employees would resume work.
trains start running, and the whole en-
ehanted palace of labor start into full
activity again. The strike was ended.
4uoth% the newspapers of Monday,
Maych "a Mr.. Gould's letter was
wIftten the Sunday previous. That
KAfotidisfy tirc stock ofzs,. fTouid southwestern
roads went up several cents. First they
doomed, then they dropped a little, then they
went up again. Els enemies say that the lit
tie fnancier cleared a cool million on the
strength of that friendly letter.
Then came another hitch. Vice-President
Hoxie, out in st. Louis, would settle indi-
vidual difficulties with striking employees,
but he would nave nothing to do in any
shape or form with an official committee OF
the Knights of Labor. He drew the line
there and was as granite in holding TO it.
Meeting a committee Of the K. of L. wasn't
his idea Of "arbitrating differences And
when MI. Gould's famous letter of instruc-
tions to Mr.. Hoxie came to be strictly looked
into. it was found to be no settlement OF the
difficulty at all. MI. Hoxie was left free to
do just as he had been doing before, and he
has at no time since been informed by MI.
Gould that the president Of the road saw no
objections to his receiving a committee Of
the *. of l.
The strike was recpened, and then fol-
lowed between Gould and Powderly the let
tiers containing the foreeful English one musss;
admire. The question itself is one on whose
merits It'll extremely difficult for either an
outsider or an insider TO COME to a decision.
Powderly and Gould mutually throw the
blame for the continuance of the strike upon
each other. What the outcome will be who
can tella Though the present c ngressienal
inquiry win, it is hoped. settle the difficulty.

HOW 10 KILL ENGINES.

An Engineer Indicates a Numbs of
Ways In Which 1t May BE Done.
nTell me how ST. Louis strikers kill SO
many engines and render them useless for
service, will your asked a reporter for
The Denver Tribune of an engineer Who
was busy oiling the links of his engine in
one of the local round house yards.
The unn looked over his customer
and asked: aAre you a reporter"
AYes, SIR
aThen I've nothing to say. Besides, /.
am too busy now to talk anyhow. Catch
on to some. one else
The questioner found some one else In
the "barn" whom he knew, and who would
talk.
"How they kill engines, hey9 Well, the
quickest and surest way is to take this
away the runner replied, laying his hand
on the throttle lever. "Shut this throttle
by pushing in the lever pin, disconnect the
Ifalcrum connections with the boiler head,
stick the lever under your coat and march
off with it and the engine is useless.
Even If she is near the machine shop it
will require q couple of days to replace the
lever at a cost of S14, as it must be forged
and turned, and the brass throttle ratchet
must be cast, filed, INT polished. That is
much better b to carry off connecting
rods, as 1 saw represented recently in an
illustrated paper. It would take two men
at least to cart away one connecting-rod,
which you know connects the crank-pin
of the forward driver with the cross-head,
though h a disables q locomotive Of
| course"
Several Vandalia trains were killed by
the steam guages being knocked off, so the
dispatches said.m
IF that is all the dispatches said, they
didn't cover all the ground, because the
Water-glaSses would be left, and an
engineer can run without the. one if he has
the other. If the gauges are knocked out,
the holes can be readily plugged up and
new gauges only cost rs cents each. Buff
gauges and the water-glass with its filings
are busted, the engine is no good"
Amy attempt to M will end in burning
her iues and crown sheet. You see where
these parts are covered everything is
lovely but with low water they burn Out.
I've seen q burnt crown sheet dropped
down from its braces almost into the
CRATE. An explosion occurs at such times
which tears everything to piaces.n
HAre there other parts of the machinery
that can be taken away to kill a loco
motire?s
3Oh, my, yes. Take down the eccentric
links or take off the valve stems and your
engine is dead. The favorite way, when
an engine is on the road, is to put out the
fire, open the blow-of cock which you see
standing out from the side of the fire box,
under the cab, and let out all the water.
Then the engine must be hauled to the
nearest tank and filed up before she can
be fired up.
aAs for killing engines in the roupa-
houses, he, strikers remove such ofthe
parts I have mentioned as will require the
longest time to replace, and very likely at
the same time let the water all q Il of the
boilers. 7 --St. Louis Letter.
