SESSION III tnls CITY To-Day, anu VIII leave
for Washington tonight. j. Ii. Osborn,
master workman of assembly 377l,
Knights of Labor, said the strike was
based on q list of grievances which had
never been considered by railway off =
cials. Some OF the grievances consist
ed in the discharge of men without no.
tiCe and the nOn-restoration of wages
after the adoption OF the March, 1885,
| agreement.
Martin Irons, master workman of dis
trict assembly, lOl, the membership of
which numbers 5000 men, employed upon
the Missouri Pacific railway, testified
that the officials OF that railroad ig-
nOred the provisions of the agreement;
noted instances were the grievances Of
their employees were never considered.
The discharge Of Hall on the Texas Pa
citic road was the immediate cause of
the strike. This WAS not, however, the
sole reason, but was one of many griev-
anCes which had made the strike neCes-
sary. He had tried to settle the affair
before the strike. He had met Gov
ernOr Sheldon, one OF the receivers of
the road, and was assured by him that
an endeavor to adjust the trouble wOHld
be made, and had been told as Governor
Brown would be at Dallas the next day,
he thought Irons should 90 there and
present his side. The next day he
thought it best that the receivers should
come TO Marshall, where the books of
the company were, and so telegraphed
Governor Sheldon, but no answer was
received to the telegram. He met only
with response from the operator, that
Sheldon was not in the city. He then
telegraphed that if reply was not re-
ceiVed by the next day, he would call
out the men. No answer came and he
ordered the strike. The witness re-
counted the after events of the strike on
the Missouri Pacific railway, the con-
ference at Kansas City, the governors
attempt TO settle the strike, HOxie's ac-
ton, etc., bringing the matter down to
the general executive committees at
tempt to interview HOxie, and the
means by which the strike was finally
ended.
