The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1886-04-06

expressed the hope that Messrs.
Gould and Powderly would arrive a,
an amicable understanding, but they
feared that such would not be the
case, and in that event there was nc
telling when the trouble would end.
When the departure of Martin Irons
for st. Louis Monday night was men.
toned, one indignant striker re.
marked: "Well, by Cd, he might
as well stay there; his name is Den,
mis-, / guess, SO far as getting employ
ment in Sedalia is concerned.
While some denounced the sawed-ofi
chairman of district assembly No. 101,
others praised him and expressed the
opinion that he had not made any
mistake in ordering the strike.
AROUND THE SHOPS.
There was more activity around the
shops and round-house than has been
witnessed for several days past. Master
Mechanic Weller had q number of
men at work in the various depart
ments, and in reply 10 inquiry. said
everything was moving along nicely,
but it would take some little time to
bring order out of chaos. Several
fremen had been'given their time for
refusing to 60 out when called, he
said, but he promptly put new men to
work and the company was not In the
least inconvienced.
81 do not know when the whistle
will be blown" said Mr.. Weller, "but
it may be several days yet. / have
had many additional applications for
employment to-day, but | could not
give decided answers in a majority of
the cases, as it is difficult Just now to
say how many men We will want when
We resume business as of old"
LET OUT BY LYON.
Trainmaster Lyon was seen by the
BAzoo during the afternoon and
asked if any large number of brake
men had been discharged for refusing
to make trips when requested to do so.
"No, sir" was the reply. Zone
man was given his time to-day and
that is ALL"
"Do you anticipate any trouble in
this direction?"
"Not a particle. / can hire all the
men / want"
"But they are green at the business,
are they not?"
THAT is where you are in error.
Nearly all who have applied to me
are old-timers. They come from all
quarters of the globe and a number of
them have frst-class letters"
"Have you engaged many of
them?"
ono; there was no occasion for it.
If any of my men do not care to work,
however, they can quit and the new
men will be employed. AS / said yes
.erday, shall never ask a man to 90
,ut but once"
THE NEW MEN.
The new men who have been en-
,loyed to take the places made vacant
~ the strikers are not having a very
pleasant time of it. In East Sedalia
t is almost impossible for them to |
ecure boarding houses, so great is the |
to them. Nor is this all. |
{ is unsafe for them to proceed to or
rom work unless protected by guards,
md even then they are subjected to
III manner of indignities. Last even
ng one of these employees was pro-
'eeding westward on Third street, go
ng home from work, when he was
ltalt blow In the face by q striker.
Of course resistance was useless, and
lothing remained but to pocket the
INSULT. Several of the new men yes
erday provided themselves with arms
nd will most likely furnish the coro-
er with a job in case they are at
FURLoNG's GOOD WORK.
Conductor Tom Arnold, who
rought a train in from Chamois
fonday evening, says everything is
uiet a. that point, owing to the
resence of about twenty-five or thir-
? of Tom Fur ong's men.
81 did not have any trouble" said
lrnold. "a committee of strikers
7aited on me and asked me not to at
,mpt to take my train out, but 1 told
,em that was what / came for and /
roposed carrying out my purpose.
hey then went off and left me and I
as not bothered any more"
Mr.. Arnold stated that Furlong's /,
len would take train out and &C.
it several miles, and return ,
a the first incoming train. There !
as been no serious trouble at Cha {
