General Master Workman Powdorly of tho
Enlghta ol Labor bad vary little rest on Friday
night. After the midnight oonferenoe'of the Ex
ecutive Board adjourned and he had Been all
tho reportere, he want to bed In hlalroom on the
top floor at 4 o'olock In the morning. Eight
months ago ho broke two rlba In a fall, and two
weeka ago In another fall he broke them
again. Ha la also suffering from two bolls on
the back ot his neck, and ha got ltttlo aleep.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the Board
reaumed Its deliberations In room 822 ot the
Aetor House. This is a long room, with two
windows looking out on Broadway. Nearly
half of tho room Is occuplod by two double
beds. By the window yesterday stood a bu
reau, with signs, evldontly home made, pinned
to the frame lot the looking-glass. Above ths
glass was a sign with the words:
It taret time to talk to ths point
On the right aide of the frame was one bear
ing the words:
riaaae leara your smokers ontelda.
At a table by the window In front of this bu
reau sat John W. Hayes, one ot the Executive
Board, who writes with hla lett hand as well
and as fast aa most man can write with the
right. Around the room walked W. H. Bailey, a
tall man wltb white hair and black moustache,
Frederlok Turner, ahort, rather atout, with
light hair and mouataohe, was also present
i He is General Secretary-Treasurer of the
Knights of Labor. But the moat Important
man in the room was tbe General Master
Workman,
Mr. Powdarly is short and slight, with soft
blue eyes half concealed by gold-rlmmed spec
tacles. He sat yesterday In a cane-seated arm
chair. He eat bent over to favor hla broken
rlba and leaned hla cheek on hla left band.
The pain and anxiety of tbe past taw weeka
had left tbelr traoos on him. and until be spoko
he seemed like an Invalid sitting up when he
fihould bave been in bed. But be talked like a
aval-haadad. clear-minded man.
About 11 o'clock a messenger was seat from
the Board to 105 Broadway, where the ofOeaa
of Mr. Jay Gould's various railroads cluster
around tbe office of the millionaire. The mes
senger carried a large yollow envelopo with
this letter In it:
"Nodlx Obdeb or the KmanTs of LabobI
of America. I
Office of the Qknbb&l Becbktiiit.
Philadelphia. Pa., March 27. J
" Jfr. Jay Ooutd.
"Sir: Tbe General Executive Board would
bo pleased to havo an Interviow with you at
your convenience to-day for tbe purpose of
submitting tbe Southwest difficulties to a com
mittee ot ssven (7) for arbitration, threo of the
oommlttoe to be appolntod by yourself and
three by the General Executive Board, tbe
six to select tbe seventh member ot tbo oom
mittee, their decision In the matter to be final.
Should thla proposition be acceptable, we will
at onoe issue an order for the men to return to
work.
" By ordorlof tbe General Executive Board.
" Fuederick Turner.
"Secretary of Board."
Tbe messenger returned to tbe Astor House
shortly after 11 o'clock wltb an oral massage
from Mr. George Gonld to tbe effect that Mr.
Gould bad not reaobed his offloe. but that an
answer would be sent during the day. Tbe
committeemen wore hopeful of a favorable
reply from Mr. Gould.
I hope lor an oarly settlement." said Mr.
Powderly to a Sun reporter. " But I can't say
that I look for It I do not know what we sball
do It Mr. Gould's answer Is unfavorable. My
circular published tbls morning was Intended
to he secret and I waa astonlebed to see it In
Srlnt. Of course. I admit tbe authorship ot It.
Inco leaving Bcranton to ooma hers I have re
ceived Inearly l.UOO answors to tho circular, alt
of them commending Its sentiments most high
ly, and endorsing, oven before I nsk them to.
tbe course I propose in tho circular. Wo bavo
had to call a halt. It has takon olght years to
educatotho leaders of tho assemblies In our
body how best to carry out our principles. But
now since last Ootober 1,200 District Assem
blies have been formed. How can these as
semblies be supposeil to have learned in a tew
months what it took the original leaders eight
years to learn and undorstand?
"Before we removo tbe new restriction
against organizing new absumhllos, we shall
have a rule that any assembly directing or al
lowing a strike within six months after receiv
ing its charter shall forfeit that charter. That
rule will check the people who bave brought
our order Into disrepute by joining us and al
most Instantly ordering strikes and boycotts
on any and every occasion. Any member who
will advocate a strike or the oxtenslon of a
strlko talks like a fool. It a man bas bis hand
in a lion's mouth bo doesn't hit him with tho
other flit, because that would only make tho
Hon bold him more tightly. If tbe man soothes
tbe lion ho can gut bis band out. heal bis
wounds, and have ooth bands whole to deal
with the lion later."
Mr. Gould reached his office shortly after 11
o'clock. ThoBoard of Dlroctors ot the Missouri
Paclflo Hallway Company met him at 12X
o'clock in hla offloe. Messrs. Blduey Dillon,

4 o'clock tbe following answer to Soorotary

St. Louis, March 27 Tbo Missoutl Pacific
Railroad sont two freight trains out to-day.
and in both lnstancos police protection In force
was on band, but thoro was no Interference.
The aame condition of affairs provailod at the
Iron Mountain yards, n train bolng sent south
without any Intorferonco.
On tho other sldo of the rlvor matters wore
aulte a different aspect. Tbe battlo bos been
transferred to tbe east bank of tbe Mississip
pi. Evorytblng was aulet In tbe yards
tbls morning, and none of tbe roads,
wltb tbo exception of tbe Chicago, Bur
lington and Qulncy. mado an attempt to
Bond out a train. This attempt was unsuccess
ful. In tho Vandalla yards no switching was
done, and the yards were completely desorted.
Tho Indianapolis and St. Louis abandoned
all tbelr trains, and no switching was done.
No trains were started out from tbo Wabasb,
and little switching was done. United States
Marshal Weber arrived this morning with a
number ot his deputy marshals. Ho came In
pursuance ot an order of the United States
Circuit Court, commanding him to take pos
session of all tbo Wabasb property at this point
The order of tbo Couit authorizes blin to em
ploy as many special deputios as bo may doem
necessary to protect tbe property of tbe com
pany from Injury, nnd to protect also all per
sons employed by that road. Mr. Wober de
voted tbe morning to taking a survey of tbe
sltuntion. and bold a conference with tho of
ficers of tbe road.
There was a vory large crowd of strlkore
around tho Relay Dopot about 10 o'clock tbls
morning, when word camo tbat the Cbloago,
Burlington and Qulncy officials were preparing
to start a train. There was a rush Immediately
for the yards of tbat road, whloh aro on tbe
Island, about half a mile northwest ot the de
pot. In less than ten minutes after tbe word
reached tho Relay about 150 men had sur
rounded the train, wblob consisted of an en
gine, one car, and a caboose, The onglno was
In charge of Engineer Catlln and Firotnan
Burgor, Superintendent Brown was also In
the cab. The spokesman of tbe strikers ap
proached tbo cab window, and said to Catlln:
" Mr. Catlln. tbe Knlgbtt of Labor roiiuost
you not to tako out this train."
Catlln answered tbat bo waa between two
fires, that Suporlntondent Brown had ordered
him te go out. and that ho felt he must oboy
ordors. Fireman Burger was then called, and
was roQueated to leave bis post. Following tho
example of Engineer Catlln, be said:
" You see, fellows, I'm botween two flros, and
I don't know exactly what to do."
"You ought tobJ botweon olght or ten flros,"
said one ol the num. " Why, you're the first
fireman olther on this or on tbo other sldo of
tbo river that has not iiult when asked."
Kuperintundunt Drown Interposed, raying:
" Gentlemen, thesn men aro paid by tho Chi
cago, Burlington and Qulncy Company, They
havo boon ordered to tako out this train, and it
is their duty to do so. Now, will you allow me
to nsk what you intnnd to doinciuowoattompt
to run out thin train?"
" You had better try," snlil tho man who lind
first spoken, " and you will thon know. Wo do
not makauny threats, but I will say this, you
can only teo tho surface ot this mnvoiuoiit;
theroiuny bo dynamito nnd camions under
uenth." " Why, vnu folks haven't anyennnons around,
havo rnu ?" said llrowu, lant'liliu'ly, and then
to tho onglueorlio said: Well. I guess you bad
better run hur ba'k to tho round linuse."
At tills order the crowd gave n prolonged
shout, and then dispersed, Tho enuino wont
back to tho round bouso. nnd no further ut
totnpt wan made tn send out a train.
Unllod States Marshal Weber took seventy
five men, later In tbo day. and weut to tho
round house, whero be procured n special
train, and wont to tho Wabash yards. There
lie sent for Notary Publio Kggiuan. and bad all
the seventy-five mon aworn in as Deputy Mar
shals, for the purpose ot guarding a train ot
twenty cars, which he propeaed to run out at 2
jBBs1axterrsTJt3f?ta.,r-' Jf! U'-yaaM
? 'clock. . The men want to work at ones on the
relght loading the ears, and making up the
train. Poor ofthe oars were loaded with cot
ton, four wltb Iron, and the others with mis
cellaneous freight In the yards were General
Manager Townley ot the Wabash. General
Manager Taussig of the Bridge and Tunnel
Company, Attorney Burnet ol tho Wabaah. and
other officials of the road. ...
At 1:80 o'clock thla afternoon the Vandalla
road aucoeeded In getting a freight ot twelve
cars out ot the East St. Louie yards. They ac
complished it by strategy and the nerve of the
engineer. An Ohio and Mississippi en
gine had run over to the Relay Depot
a number of passenger cars to turn
them around. About 700 men were stand
ing nronnd the depot, and at once made a rush
for the Ohio and Mississippi traoka to prevent
the anticipated turning, Too Vandalla aaw Its
opportunity and quickly and quietly started a
freight of twelve oara on tbo other aide ot tbe
dopot The engineer put on a full bead ot
steam, and aa the train awung in eight tbe apse
tators aaw it was going too fast to be easily
stopped. One ot tbo crowd ran ahead and
turned the signal, but the engineer . never
Blackened speed, and crashed through the sig
nal, and the train awept on out of sight down
the road. The men at onoe gathered at the
Relay Depot to the number of 700, and ve
hemontlyd aoussad the euocesatul taking out
of the freight
Ae it happened, howevor.tthe Vandalla rail-
5ay train was "braked" at the city limits,
be, polios escort alighted. Jumped. upon a
watting ear. and were run baok to tho Missouri
Paclflo yards, where, under tbelr guard, a soo
ond train was made up. which succeeded
In passing through the city under circum
stances precisely similar to those attondlng the
frogrossof tbe first train. The vardmasterof
be iron Mountain Railroad yards In this city,
aided by.a force ol police, mads up and started
out a freight train of eleven care over tbat road
this morning. There were no attempts at in
terference on the part ot the atrlkera. and no
exoltement attended the traln'e departure, tbe
erowda at the yarda and along the tracks being
of small dimensions.
While all this was going on on the east side,
and matters ware so quiet about tbe railroad
yarda In 8t Louis, tbe new phasaa given the
Strike by Mr. Powderly'e secret circular and
Is declarations ot last night in Naw York were
being diaouaaad. The remarks of Mr. row
derly were shown to Chairman Irons,
"What bave you to aay on your side. Mr.
Irons?'' asked a reporter.
" Nothing." be replied. " I don't have to give
my authority for the statements I bave made."
''That Is fully understood: but aa to what
Mr. Powderly says?" . .
" I don't know what Mr. Powderly says."
' I bavo Just told you. Thla is a statement
from Mr. Powderly." ...
" Well, we don't have to be guided by what
Mr. Powderly aaya." replied Irons. " The Gen
eral Committee has no power here. It is out
side of our province."
"Can't It come In here and settle this trou
ble?" aaksd tbe reporter.
" No. air, not without we reuueet it
Do you know of a mooting ot tbe General
Committee in New York for that purpose ?"
I do not It can't take such aotlon."
' Can you order a strike outeldo of this dis
trict?" " No, sir." said Irons, "except by the request
of other assemblies."
Mr. Turnor'a atatemant In which he deelarea
that Mr. Irons la one of I tbo men who are doing
the order great injury, was then read, but ex
cept by his expression during the reading ot
tbe statement Mr. Irons made no reply.
" What caused Mr. Turner to speak in that
way ?" asked tho renortpr. ,
, "I do not know that ho has.1' replied Ironn.
He may have misunderstood my remark. It
may bave boen telegraphed wrong."
"Mr. Irons," said anotbor member of tbe
committee, 'said the strike might extend all
ovor tbo country, not that It would cover tbe
country."
" What Mr. Irons said." Interrupted two other
Knights, "was that It tbo Knlsbts wore not
recognized the strike might extend."
" What I said." Interrupted Mr. Irons him
self. " was that if tho strlko Is not scttlod it
might extend over all tbo railroads In the
country, and I will tell you more tbat I aatd
(etopplng and apeaklng with emphasta). and
tbat was that if It is not Bottled It may oxtend
to all Knights all ovor tbe country."
Another Knight who was aeon later said that
Mr. Irons was substantially oorrect as far as
the probability of the General Committee tak
ing obargo was concornod. but not as to what
was possible. Tbo General Committee could
come In and take charge, issuing a proclama
tion declaring tbo strlko off. but it would bo an
exercise ot authority tbat had never yet boon
assumed. Tbe General Committee could oven
go to tbe extreme ot revoking tbo charter of
the District Assembly, but there was only one
chanco in a thousand tbat such aotlon would
be takon. Tbo General Oommlttoe would In
olther case have to look to the General Conven
tion to sustain tbem. The only regular way
would bo for the District Assombly to request
tbe General Committee to Intercede.
The Kxecutlve Committee of Assemblies 93.
101. and 17 was in session all day at IJgbt
stone's Hall. Mr, A. 0. Cougbhin, n member of
thocommlttoo, told a roportor tbat In vlow ot
tho fact that Grand Master Powderly bad an
nounced hla intention of making an effort to
bold a conference with Mr. Gould In the Inter
ests of arbitration, tbo committee here would
probably maintain a raastorly Inactivity until
tbo rosult of Mr. Powdorly' attempt was
known with rogard to tbe probable oxtontlon
of the strike. Mr. Couublan wan of tho opinion
that whllo it was not likely that any other as
semblies would bo called out. yet If a settle
ment was not reaobed soon a number of as
semblies might go out simply through sym
pathy with the men on tbe Missouri Paclflo.
" Mr. Powderly says that tbo strlko must be
confined to the road on which it originated.
Can he provont its spreading?" tho reportor
asked.
" Well, bo has no authority to do so. but if be
should deem It advisable to roquest tho other
assemblies not to go nut, I think tbat bis
wixhrs would be obeyed,"
Mr. CouKhlansalU that as fares he wns per
sonally concornod. tho only thing bo was fight
ing for at present was a recognition of tho
Knights of Labor organization by tho railroads.
Without recognition, ths order could nover
hope to accomplish anything, and If tbat ond
oould bo attained now.be, for ono, would bo
wllllug to subordinate all other considerations
to it.
About noon a rumor gained curroncy that
Assemblies 93. 101, and 17 were deliberating
upon a proposition to withdraw from the gen
eral body. Chairman Irons of 101 was llrst In
terviewed with regard to the rumor, and a mo
ment later Chairman Cougblnnof "J3 came out
of the hall and joined In the conversation.
"As to the rumor tbat we aro considering a
withdrawal from the General Assembly," said
Mr. Irons, "I dony It most emphatically. There
Is not a word of truth In it, and in this Brother
Coughtan here will bear me out."
"I nover board of such a tblng. much less
have 1 over thought of It," said Chairman
Couglilan.
"You can say for us," continued Chairman
Irons, "that such a thought haa nnvcr cntored
our minds. No membor of this Board has ever
mentioned such a thing before any other mem
ber of tbo Hoard to my knowletlitn."
"You aro considering an important matter
hern to-day?"
"Important, yes, but nothing for publication."
"Will nay additional orders bo Issued to-day?"
"Yes."
" You' have ordered out oil Kulgbtsat Hun
nlbol to-day V"
"No. wo have not."
A dosratcli was shown to Mr. Irons in which
it was said that about a hundred men bad quit
work there.
" Wo have sent out no sueh orders," said Mr,
Irons. "If tho mon at Hannibal harogono
out, they havo gone nut of tholr own volition.
We havo ordered out no ono to-day."
in further conversation it was learned that
high hopes wore based on Mr. I'owdorly's efforts
to confer with Mr, Gould. Tbls ovunlng. how
ever, the strikers generally were much dlsap
pnlntod, and everything wore n gloomy aspect
when the nows of Gould's rofunsl to moot Pow

member of toe Exeoutlve Committee, aald in
regard to the addresBt. .
"I have been apprehensive tor aome time
that our rapid growth would lead to extrava
gances In tbe way of atrlkea and, demands
Jnlch would involve the Knights in serious
Ifflcultles. Our organizers are to blame In
some places. They want to make a showing,
and they yield to the roqueat of dissatisfied la
bor to become organized. Then, too. I havo
noticed that new assemblies are anxious to try
their strength. It la like the boy with new
boots bs wants to kick something. Mr. Pow
dorly has long considered this movoment. and
I feel sure ho has made no mistake in hla pro
nunelamento. ... . , . ,
" Ths Incendiary Interviews with prominent
Knights conoerned in tho Missouri Paolllo
strike have done much to wldon tbe breach be
tween the men and the employers. The
Knights are already the greatest organization
of labor ever known, and If they heed Mr. Fow
derly's advice, they will yet beoome more pow
erful by absorption, taking In the open unions.
Tbey arejrleldlng and gradually coming tn ono

destroy its usefulness. Ho many firms will be

Cincinnati. March 37. Capt W. W. Peabody.
Preatdent of the Mississippi and Ohio Railway
Company, haa just returned to his headquart
ers here after a long sojourn in St Louis. Ue
was asked this afternoon:
"Do you think thla atrlke will extend all over
the country as bas been predloted ?"
"No. I do not" he answorod. I think It
will bo settled before long. Public sentiment
baa beoomo aroused, ana It Is Impossible to
successfully combat that"
"Then Mr. Hoxle will give In. will he ?"
Hoxle? Never. He will never give in. It
la the other aide tbat will give In. Mr. Hoxle
Is backed up bv bis entire Board ot Directors,
and wbat need is tbero tor him giving In ? No.
I lam confident tbat this matter Iwlll be ami
cably settled very soon. I think tbat the men
who are striking will see that tbey bave made
a mistake, and that tbey will then bo ready to
act in a conservative manner. Look at what
Powderly saya to tbem. See what tbe Chief ot
the Brotherhood of Looomotlvo Engineera says.
Tbey do not approve of tho courso tho strlkore
bavo taken, and I look upon tbat as a hopeful
sign, and when tlio spirit of conciliation spreads
the adjustment of all difficulties will be a mat
ter of a short tlmo.
" I was In Mr. Hoilo's office a few days ago,
and he showed me letters from business men
ail along the lino ot his road endorsing bis
aotlon. The men are not striking tor anything
but the reinstatement of one man, and tbe
question bas grown from tbat to the question
of n recognition of the Kulgbts of Labor, and
the business men who aro Buffering because
they cannot have goods transported are not
disposed to encourage tbe continuation of the
strike.
"I certainly do not believe thoro will be a
