st. Louis. March 10-The situation re-
mains about unchanged In East st.
Louis thiR morning. The knights have
not struck as yet, but large numbers of
that organization from this city are
there attempting, it is supposed. to per-
suade them to join the movement. The
effect OF the strike in East st. Louis up
on the cattle trade is especially severe.
No stock cars can cross the bridge and
thus far receipts are materially lessened
as the strike proceeds.
ORDERED TO LEAVE THE YARD.
General Superintendent Kerrigan, of
the Missouri Pacific railway, this morn
ing issued an order expelling from the
Missouri Pacific yards all knights of la
Dor. This order includes the delegation
of men appointed by the knights to
guard the company's property. The
| circular issued to the strikers ordering
them off the company's premises reads
as follows:
You are hereby notified that your
action in Withdrawing from the employ
ment of the Missouri Pacific railway
company was o voluntary abandonment
of the service of the company and that
You are no longer in its en-
ployment. Your names have
been stricken from its rolls
All such who are now about the COM
pany's premises Gre hereby notified
that they must leave the same, to the
end that this scompany May resume
traffic.
TSigned.l VIM, KERRIGAN,
HIRING FRESH MEN.
Although the officials will not make q
statement concerning lts affairs, it is
generally believed that they are now
employing new men to take the places
of the strikers and movements of freight
trains will be attempted tonight.
Should this prove true tie knights Of
labor will undoubtedly offer resistance.
Il BEa1NNINa OF SERIOUS TROUBLE.
1t is now authoritatively stated that
the Missouri Pacific railroad company
will attempt to. morrow, instead OF to-
night, to resume freight traffic upon it's
road. The order issued this morning by
Kerrigan applies not only to men for
merly in it's employ in this city, but to
all strikers on the system, and they have
all along the line withdrawn quietly
from the company's premises.
VIOLENCE REsoRTED TO.
A Post, Dispatch special from Fort
Worth, Texas, says the first troubles be-
tween the knights of labor and
the non-knights occurred this morning,
when the new men employed
by the railroad company to run its en-.
gihes were attacked while performing
their duty and forced to vacate their
cabs. The strikers then killed the en-
gines. Quiet now prevails, but it is
thought this is the beginning Of serioas
trouble.
FIVE THOUSAND sPINEsRs.
Troy, March l0-Ihe spinners in the
knitting mills at Cohee were ordered
out this morning; by the knights of Ia
Dor. The splnners claim that in a re-
cent adjustment OF wages they were not
given fair consideration. 1t looks like
a long lock out. About five thousand
| operators are interested.
RUMoRs AFFECTING WESTERN ROADS.
Chicago, March. 10-A st. Louis dis
patch intimating that o strike is liable
to occur ON western roads out of this
| city this afternoon is denied by the Off
clals and employees of the Northwestern
and Burlington roads. Both assert that
no differences have arisen and that mons
