offense charged against him in the resolu-
ton.

The Wabash Switchmen Go
Out.
A Proposition to be Made to
Mr.. Gould.
Ringing Address From Pow
derby to the Knights.
The Wabash Men 90 Out.


ST. Louis, March %. -When the usual
hour arrived this morning for the day
force of switchmen to relieve the night
gang at the Wabash yards in this city, no
men appeared; and a few minutes later
the announcement was made that the
entire force had struck. These men, it is
understood, were ordered out by the ex-
ecutive committee in support of the
position taken by the striking Missouri
Pacific employees. The situation at East
st. Louis is becoming serious; the yard
masters of the different roads have been
attempting all the morning to make up
and start out freight trains, but have in
every instance ben prevented from carry
ing out their designs by striking switch
men, who are using all means at their
disposal to make the freight blockade in
that city complete. Coupling pins are
removed from their positions. and trains
become separated; switches are reversed
and trains are run upon wrong tracks, and
in instances yardmasters have been for
chilly restrained in their efforts to resume
freight traffic. No serious trouble has as
yet occurred, but it is understood officers
of the law will be called upon to-day to
preserve order and property, and a conflict
between them and the strikers is expected
to occur.

tween the authorities and the strikers
when the freight train sent out from here
this morning shall have reached that
place.
The Vandalia and Burlington routes
succeeded in sending out two freight
trains from East St. Louis this afternoon
without serious interference by the strik-
ing switchmen. There were only two sue
cessful attempts, however, to move freight
and traffic is almost entirely suspended.
ST. LOUIS, March %. -O6icials of the

An Address From powderly.

ST. LOUIS, March 26.-General Master
workman Powderly has issued a secret
circular to the noble order of the Knight.
of Labor Of America, which has just
been made public Powderly i%nstructs
the secretary Of each assembly to call a
full meeting and read before it the senti-
ments which follow. The address opens
with an order to the assemblies to cease
initiating new members until the relations
OF capital and labor shall become less
strained than at the present time, and
continues. to attempt to win concessions
or gains with our present raw, undisoi-
plincd membership, would be like hurting
an unorganized mob against a well drilled
regular army. 1t is not fair to order as
semblies to bring in new members to pick
up their q%uarrels as soon as organized,
and have them expect pecuniary aid from
those who helped to build the order up
for a noble purpose. After dwelling at
some length upon the inadvisability Of
taking in new members at present, the
address continues; we must not fritter
away our strength ana miss the oppor-
tunity Of present success in the struggle
against capital by rushing into useless
strikes. Powderly then cautions the as
sembhes against receiving INTO their ranks
employers and warns the knights that
politicians are planning night and day
how 10 catch the knights Tor the advan-
& oil themselves aud party and ADDS
that the use oil the naine oil the orjer IN
