and made a plain, straightforward
statement to the effect that he got
permission some time since trom
the owner of a certain section oi
timber land, to cut therefrom
about seventy cords of wood. He
employed several men to do the
work, and taking them to the
place sliowid them where to fell
their trees. Owing to the fact

the corners which indicate the
section lines, he bad e me tree?
cut from government land, not
knowing it to be such an- su.jpo

who did not like Buntz'a style

the matter under advisement till

St. Louis, August 22. All indi
cations here point to a strike of
3000 men on the St. Louis division
of the Big Four. Thenen are all
waiting, and seem to understand
that it will be given shortly.
iSEW York. August 22. V, ah
the close of to-day ends the sec
ond week of the strike. The men
who two weeks ago left their
places with the confidence of re
instatement upon their own terms,
are considering the situation to
night in local assemblies where
they are joined in council by
members of the executive board.
Undoubtedly it is true that the
rank and file of the men feel at
present strong in the near presence
of their leaders. The heads have
been considering their immediate
interest and the men are pleased.
They feel reinforced and more
hopeful.
Ihe strikers are anxious to arbi
trate, but the company refuses.
Webb comes forth to-night with a
prepared statement in which for
the first time since the beginning
of the trouble be names the list of
offenses. Webb says the company
discharged men, irrespective of
their membership in the order of
Knights of Labor, for drunkenness
incapacity, breach of duty, insub
ordination ana for lack of sufficient
work to employ them, and it will
keep on to do so whenever the
proper occasion arises.
"It would," he says, "be a moral
and probably a criminal neglect of
duty for me to omit to discharge a
switch tower man for being drunk,
while on his sobriety and fidelity
to duty depends the sife'y of life
and limb of some million passen
gers transported annually by this
company."
There is a (rowing belief among
persons who follow the course of
events clooely that there will be
no further strike.
