ST, LOUIS, No., March l9.-The hopes
for a settlement OF The strike upon the
Gould Southwest system, in the near
future, seem nearer realization to-day than
at any time during the present difficulty,
The interest in the future Developments
is equally divided between the course
which the discharged mechanic, Hall, at
Marshall, Texas. shall pursue, and the re.
ply OF Colonel Hoxie to Master Workman
PoWderly, now in Kansas City. Many
feel confident that the submission Of
Halls grievances to the United States
Court will result in ending the strike on
the Texas Pacific railroad, whichever way
the Judge Of thatCourtshould decide. The
announcement by the Missouri Pacific
employees, however, Of grievances, other
than the discharge OF Hall warrants the
belief that separate settlement Of the
difficulty among them must be arrived aG
before the strike on that road can end,
