was in almost constant communication
with Gould. McKeighan engaged an

former employers. The formal revoca-
ton last night by the general executive
committee of their order to Knights to
return to work makes the outlook to-
day less hopeful. The Missouri Pacific
has already employed a sufficient num-
Der OF new men to carry on its business.

the orders Of the executive committee.
The Iron Mountain sent out FIVE
freight trains this morning. and the
Missouri Pacific an equal number. TO

freight, and the Vandalia a train of
thirty empties, no interference by the
strikers being attempted in either case.
The new switchmen and yardmen en-
gagged since the strike begun are actively
making mp trains, and they will be sent
out later in the day. Thirty Of the
strikers, Poles, on the Vandalia road,
applied to the foreman Of the
yards for work. While they were

on Saturday failed to rerort for duty in

the east side Of the river, and one
which occasioned considerable sur
