would be able to prosecute their
regular business to-day, the same as though
and tunnel company announced yesterday that
they would be readyto handle all business given
them. The joint notice agreed upon at the gener-
al meeting held Saturday, giving the men until
1 o'clock to-day TO return TO work. evidently
had the desired effect, as the superintendent
were notified yesterday by many of their former
employees that they would be on hand to-day
ready for duty. President Tausey, OF the
transfer company, also received official notice
from his employees that they would re-
port for work in body at the COM

intended TO apply for positions to their former
employers. The formal revocation last night
their order to the knights OF Labor to return
to work makes the outlook to-day less hopeful,
and the strike may not be SO nearly ended as it
was thought. The Missouri Pacific has already
employed sufficient number OF new men 10
carry Oh its business, and the officials OF that
road anticipate no trouble in keeping the road
open. in spite OF the renewal OF the strike.
In East ST. Louis, however, the situation is
different, tor those who have already returned

Labor and are subject to the orders OF the ex-
ecutlye committee: 1t is expected,

again, and that the others will withdraw their
applications for their old positions when they
committees action.

TO RETURN To WORK.
The revocation by the executive cornnittee
of theiorder to the Knights of Labor to return
TO work has had no effect upon the business OF
the Missouri Pacific or Iron Mountain railroad
other than making it necessary for the officials
OF these roads to secure new men for the places
made vacant by tine strikers. The Iron Noun
tain sent out five freight trains this morning
and the Missouri Pacific an equal number no
opposition being offered by the strikers. The
resumption of freight traffic on these roads
may now be considered complete, and the rails
ing of the blockade on that branch OF the COM
p any's lines permanent.
