( ne the fact that Mr.. Powdery last

morning at 10 o'clock, no members OF

nor have they sent any communiea'
ion. II is thought that Mr.. Powder.

that the committee OF Knights will be
4 bn hand me time this morning. Mr..

4 willing I D do all he consistently can TO
bring about satisfactory agreement

be arranged tomorrow.

will be made public.
THE RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE,
In an interview Just held with a
gentleman who has been present at
ie-day's conference and stands very
close TO Mr.. Gould, II was learned that
the committee OF the Knights OF Labor
submitted proposition for arbitra-
ton, which has been referred 10 Mr..
III. M. Hoxie at 81. Louis. As Mr..
Gould deblined to act without the ad-
vice OF Mr.. Hoxie, the meeting was
adjourned TO await its arrival Should
Mr.. Hoxie reply this evening his
views will be at once sent TO Mr..
Powderly and his associates, and,
SHOULD they so desire, they are at lib
orty TO make the matter public. Mr..
Gould and Mr.. Hoxie both expressed
themselves as willing to receive any
of their employees and to hear their
grievances. These employees must,
however, In each case belong TO the
class making complaint. For instance,
\ should the engineers desire TO arbi.
trate any matter, the complaint must
be presented 10 the company and ell
& negotiations be carried on, with tbs
employts complaining, no questions
will be Askedas TO whether they are
knights Of Lsb,r or not, but they
must DO employees Of the company and
no committee will perceived which
contains any but employees.
