effect of the appeal upon the situation, re-
fused positively to discuss the subject.
One OF the committeeman said: eve
have a large army at our command, and q
desperate fight ahead of US. Therefore, we
do not propose to expose our plans until
they have been perfected"
The situation as it affects the strike on
the Gould Southwest System has devel.
oped no change this morning. No hope is
entertained OF the Knights returning-at
least, until the Executive Board shall have
arrived. In East st. Louis the same
crowd collected this morning about the
freight yards to prevent the removal OF
freight.
LArEn-The Missouri-Pacifc freight
agents are receiving freight this morning
for all points on the Gould Southwest sys-
tenn, and the business of those roads 10
again being conducted as it was before the
strike. None of the Knights have gone
back to work, but the officials say they
have employed a sufficient number of men
since the knights lie. their employ to
resume freight traffic. Everything up TO
noon in East St. Louis has remained
quiet. The strike of the transfer men
renders the receiving of freight at the
depots impossible. and no freight trains
have been started out this morning. The
switch engineers have been running back
and forth in the yards without interference
from the strikers.
