Ht, Louts, March 23.—A member of the ox-

aaid late laat night: ‘The wont la yet to

If we were to anbmit now and return to work
wlthont having been recognized aa Knighta of
Labor, it would be defeat not only for ua but
alio for tbe labor unions, tradea assemblies,
and for every labor organization In the coun
try. We feel that the iaaue moat be met and
now. The present conflict la between ua and
tbe railroad only. We will wait three or four
daya in tbo hope that aome way towarda a Bat
tlement may be opened, nnd then If the situs-
tlon rcmalna unchanged for the better, every
freight train on every road running out of Bt.
Loula, and every freight train on every road
running out of Chicago will be atopped. We
will leave a aufllclent force of men upon the

modation tralna, but not a wheel of a tingle
freight car ahall be turned until the Knighta
of Labor are recognized If thla ahall fiail to
force the companira to recognlae ua, the atrlke
will then be eztended to all eaatera and aouth-
ern roada, embracing tbo entire country, and
Hit cornea to thoworat, the atrlke will be
made to embrace every largo manufactory and
every eztenaivo bualueaa Indoatry in the

George Bodgera, a member of tbe ozecu
committee, aaid in regard to the address:
”1 have been apprehensive for some time
that our rapid growth would lead to extrava-
gancca in the way of strikes and demands
which would involve knights in serious diffi
culties. Then, too, I have no
ticed that new assemblies are anxious to try
their strength. It ia like a bay with
a new pair of boots. He wants to
kick something. Incendiary inter-
vlesn with prominent knighta con
cerned in tha Missouri Pacific strike have
dene much to widen tho breach between the
men and thslr employers. The knighta are
already tha greatest organisation of labor ever
known, and if they head Powderly’s advice
they will yet become more

At 1:90 o'clock thia afternoon tbe Vandalla
road in East St Louis succeeded in getting out
a freight train of eleven can. About 700 men
were standing around tho depot at the time.
An Ohio and Mississippi freight train moved
as if to start out, and tho crowd mado a rush
to stop it This action of the strikers left the
tracks around the depot clear. The Vaadalia
engineer, who was all ready to start, saw his
chance, put on steam and started away. One
of the crowd saw tho move, and running ahead
turned the switch signal across the track, ex
pecting the engineer would stop when he saw
the track blocked; but the engineer turned on
more steam and crashed through tho sigual.
The train was off, and in a few minutes out of
sight.
Texabkana, March 27.—The railroad men

Labor were present, ana the local exeeutive
committee publicly expressed their determin*
atlon to assist thecitlxens in carrying out

professions, the connty officers,
with a number of leading cltixens, visited tho
roundhouse of the Iron Mountain road yester*

tbe railway is required to proceed at once to
regularly run trains over the road

against at law for farther failure to do so. In
order that that corporation may freely and
without hindrance discharge iu duty to the
public, all persons are notified to refrain from
any interference with tho trains, track, motive
power, etc., under the penalty of law, aod the
sheriffli in tbe countiee penetrated by the rail-
way are charged specially with the execution
of thete commands, and all good citizens are
expected to preserve order and refrain from
acta calculated to lead to breaches of the peace,
and from all trespasses on, or interference with,
railways, or operations thereof.
Austin, Texas, March 25.—Governor Ire
land today Issued tho following proclamation:
“Whereas, It has been made known tome that
disturbances, irregularities and violations ot law
are of frequent occurrence ou tne various lines of
railroads in this state; that trains earning freight
and passengers are interfered with by peraons har
ing no connection with Mid roads; that bridges
have been burned, spikes have bean with
drawn and trains derailed, to the
great detriment of. commerce,
and travel, and tba placing of life In grett peril.
It Is said that tbe condition of affairs on the rail
roads has been brought about by an organisation
know n as the Knighta of Labor, and that the per
sons engaged in theae iawlaaa deeds are members
of that older. Whether this is true or not. it is
hardly credible that tbo order, or the best ele
ments in It, can coontenanca the violations of law
mentioned. The employes have the unquestion
able moral and legal right to quit tho
service of their employes whenever their
employment Is not remunerative and satisfactory,
provided such action does not violate their con
tract, but when they quit and sever their relations
it is the duty of those quitting to get out of the way
and leave any others who may wuh to take service
tree todoro. Intimidation or interference with
persona desiring to work is a gross violation or tho
rights of free men, and can't be tolerated in a free
government Now. therefore. I, John Ireland, gov
ernor of Texas, do hereby issue this, my proclama
tion, warning all persons, whoever they may be,
engaged In any of said unlawful acts, that tbsy are
entailing on tnemseltea disaster and ruin, and that
offended and outraged Justice may sooner or later
overtake and punish them, unleaa they promptly
ceatc their lawlessness.
Muster Workman rowderly Talks Sense.
St. Louis, March 20.—Master Workman
Powderly has issued a secret circular to tho
ncblo order of tho Knights of Labor of Amer
ica, which haa just been made public. Mr.
Powderly instructs tbo secretary of each as
sembly to call a 'till meeting, and read before
it the sentiments which follow. The address
opens with on order to tho assembly to cease
initiating new members until the relations of
capital and labor shall become less
strained than at present, and continues
“To attempt to win concessions or gains with our
K rcrent raw, undisciplined membership, would be
ke burling an unorganised mob agslnstawell
drilled regular army. It is not fhlr to tbe older as
semblies to bring In new membera pick uptbeir

TBZAMtAifA, March 28.—Upon tho order of
the goraraor of the atato, tha City Bides have
been assigned to duty in the railway yards.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Byrne appeared,
and in pretence of the militaiy and civil offi
cers and GOO persona, read tha riot act of tho
■lata of Arkansas, and thereupon requested
ercryona not directly concerned with
the railroad to leave tha promisee,
and commanding tha sheriff and
his support.ra to see order obeyed and ex
haust all means to protect the course of com
merce whou necessary. It ia thought the
next effort to more the tralna will
ba effectual. Great excitement prevailed,
and 400 atrikara atscmblad in the Miaaouri
Paclflo yards. The militia overawed them,
however, and tbe train left without oppaal-
I ion. At Mandevlllo. ten milea north of Tex
arkana, a crowd of atrikera tried to aide-track
and wreck tha Inin. Tha militia aeattond
them and captured twelve atrikera, who wore
brought back bora and pot in jail. Tha run

Tcsukana as breaking tha backbone of the

ia the concern of all, but It la not wise to in-

better to contlnuo at work and properly Investi
