An Adjustment in the Future, St Lovls, April he views of the striking knights upon the Gould southwest system and their employers as to the means by which the strike shall be brought to a close, despite the apparent agreenent ar- rived at in New York, scems as far apart as ever,and a final adjustment is still m the future, The knights demand that all those who struck shall be taken back 1 a body, and the railrond ofliclals have determined to reemploy only those actually needed. No hope is now entertained, even by the most sanguine, that a scttlement will be reached until the general executive board shall have arrived from New York and considered the situation. It is the opinion of some that this board will immediately upon arrival order the strike off and the knights to make an individual nl)pllvnl.hru for work, Others believe that after the board shall have become fully acquainted with the condition of affairs, hat some arrangement will be whereby all knights shall be re-cmployed, ar- bitration committees appointed and the ftinal adjustment of difliculties arrived at. The large freight houses in East St.Lonis have not yet been thrown epen, for the knights are no iess determined to-day than they have been for week nlot to allow any supplies to be handled in that yicinity, either by wagon or by train, The crowds “assembled in the: railroad yards here this morning are as I atany time since the beginning of the sti de- termined that the ro freight traflic until thel arbitrated and settled, been ma ' No disturbanc 31, Louts, April 2 ht agents are freight this morning forall points on the Gould Southwest system, and the business of these roads is be- ing as regularly conducted as it was befol None of the striking knights ha to work, but the officials say they iave employed a Suflicient number of men since the knights left their employ to resume ht traflic.
