Missouri Car and Foundry Company held
a meeting yesterday to hear the report of
their committee appointed the day before
to call upon President Mcmillan and per-
suade him to concede to their demands
that the company cease furnishing repair
material to the Missouri Pacific Company.
The committee stated they had called on
Mr.. Mcmillan, but did not obtain an assur-
ance from him that their demands would
be complied with. The meeting then
adopted resolutions setting forth their
reasons for striking, and that they will not
return to work until their demands were
conceded. All the strikers, however, were
not present and those absent not having
been bound by the action OF the meeting
returned to their old places at
work this morning. Several new
men also applied for places and there
are at work about 200 men in all. Presi-
don't Mcmillan says that the management
of the company will take pack all the old
employees who apply for work to-day and
will employ al efficient new men who de-
sire to enter the company's service. He
says the works vii. be in full operation by
the end of the week.
