FGRT WORTH, Tex, April 5.-Governor
Ireland arrived in the city this morning
and has been engaged during the day in
taking survey of the field. He states
that he fully appreciates the situation
here and that the law must be enforced
and all parties violating it arrested. He
states that he has ordered the Missouri
Pacific road to move their trains
whether they are freighted or not. The
trains will be moved and the road will be
protected.
At Waco last night, while The train
that the Governor came TO the city on
was standing at the depot, some one put
coupling pin in the bulkhead and
effectually killed the engine.
This morning about II o'clock q man
went to Sheriff Maddox and gave him
information that there was a box of
dynamite cartridges hidden near the
Union depot. 1t was taken possession
of and brought into the city. The box
was about three quarters full. a number
of the cartridges having been taken out.
The discovery has created considerable
alarm, and people do not now know
what to expect.
This morning Captain Schmidt's State
rangers reached the city, and are now at
the depot.
The condition of the wounded men
who were shot in the fight on Saturday
continues to improve. Charley Sneed is
now regarded out Of danger, though his
face will be terribly disfgured. officer
FulfOrd is resting much better, and his
recovery is only a matter OF time. The
wounded striker, Tom Mace, is also
better than he was yesterday, and The
chances for his recovery are good.
No positive proof has yet been OBJ
tanned as to whether or not Frank
Pierce, the one-armed man who figured
so conspicuously in Saturdays fight, is
dead. 1t is known definitely that he
was badly wounded, and the general im-
preston Is that he was the man so mys-
teriously buried early Sunday morning
from the house of Knight of Labor in
the suburbs Of the city.
Yesterday Messrs. p. w. Farrell, M.
N. Gambrell, E. Pearson, s. f. Finley,
and W. J. Burke, all prominent Knights
Of Labor from Galveston, arrived In this
city and were in consultation with the
local lodges last night. These gentle
the order and do not endorse the strike.
Martin Irons was in this city on the
night of the 9th of March and attempted
to consolidate the five districts l0l, II,
10, SO and IS and bring within the strike
five northwestern states. The work
was prevented by such men as Finley, OF
Galveston, who belongs to Assembly IS.
District Master Workman LOvin, of
District Assembly l0l, Knights of Labor,
was arrested here tonight on charge
of being accessory to the murder OF OH
Ger Dick Townsend on Saturday. Off
GERS Townsend and Sneed, two of the
men shot Saturday, are Knights of Labor
Fort Worth Typographical Union No.
1893, has adopted the following resolu-
ton:
That we deeply sympathize with the
strikers on the Gould Southwestern sys-
TEN in their great struggle with tyran.
nicsl big0ts and detestable scabs, believ-
ing that they are asking nothing more
than justice and further pledge our
moral and financial support to said
strikers until their objects are gained.
Governor Ireland offers a reward Of
$500 for the arrest of Hardin, the leader
Of the ambnshers in Saturdays fight,
which amount is supplemented by a re-
ward Of $500 offered by the railway COM
pany.
ST. LOUIS, April 4.-Hays, the third
member of the General Executive Com
mittee of Knights Of Labor, arrived here
tonight, giving the committee quo
rum. Shortly after Hays arrival the
General Committee went into secret ses
sion with the Local Committees. They
gave the situation very full and exhaus-
tive discussion, weighing all the facts
and giving all points careful cOnsidera-
ton. The meeting lasted until mid
night. when the following was given out
in the form OF statement to the public:
At the conference held In New York
with Jay Gould and associates and the
General Executive Board. the following
was mutually agreed upon: That the
officials were willing to meet a commit
tee of their employees without discrimin-
alton, who are actually in the employ
Of the company at the time such COM
mittee is appointed, to adjust with them
any grievance they may have. The
Executive Board upon arriving In st.
Louis, having been informed that Mr.
Hoxie had refused to comply with the
agreement, as all the parties to the con-
ference understood Ii, waited upon him
to ascertain his intentions of carrying
reply: THAT only 80 per cent. Of the
former force would be re.employed, and
that he would consider personal applica-
tions only upon his own pleasure, and
act upon them without the dictation of
any society" This being In direct viO-
lation Of the agreement, the General
Board believe that the refusal is for the
purpose of stock jebbing, using the or
ganiZation as veil to further their ends.
We, therefore, recall the order given
the men to return to work, the road hav-
ing made 1t impossible to enforce the
same. The matter now stands as it did
before the order to resume work, and the
General Board will render all assistance
to carry out the demands Of the men for
justice.
ave anticipate no especial demonstra-
ton Tomorrow" said Mr.. Turner to
reporter, land no particular change in
the aspect Of affairs. Things are simply
as they were before"
The Executive Committee has been
in informal session to-day, but nothing
of public interest was done. Secretary
Turner says the whole matter now rests
In the hands Of District Assemblies l0l,
SO and IL, and that they will hereafter
conduct the strike. There is talk that
more men are ordered out by both SO
and II, but that Is not definitely decided
upon. District 90 covers the Wabash
and IL is local, embracing simply st.
Louis and East st. Louis.
The resolution by the Exc cutive Com
mittee Of their order to Knights Of La
Dor to return to work had no effect on
the business ofthe Missouri Pacific or
Iron Mountain railways other than max
ing it necessary for the officials Of those
