Great Railroad Strike Hits St Louis Trade
A St. Louis dispatch reports no freight moving over the great bridge since the Bridge and Tunnel Company workers struck under Knights of Labor influence. Only limited service from the St. Louis and San Francisco line reaches Grand Avenue depot, with Missouri Pacific and Gould system tracks blocked by strikers. Diversions cut through freight from the West and Southwest, provoking fears of permanent trade loss as grocers struggle to fill orders and merchants lose patrons.
