THE UNION PACIFIC STRIKE.


The Knights of Labor Reply to the Manifesto
Of Manager Galloway.
OMAHA, NED., Sept. 20.-The formal an
swer Of the Knights Of Labor to the recent
manifesto OF Manager Callaway, Of the
Union Pacific, has been received at head
quarters from Denver It is q lengthy
document, signed by the Executive Com.
mittee of the Union Pacific employees,
Thomas Nessham, chairman, the sub
stance being a criticism OF Callaway's let
ter, and charging him with tryiag to mis-
lead the public; accusing him Of making
misstatetnents and championing the cause
OF the Chinese; charging him with know
ing that both BeckWith and Quinn and
D, u. Clark, the former being contracting
agents and the latter General Superin'
tendent OF the coal department, were ap.
prised OF the grievances that existed st
Rock Springs, and instead OF trying TO re.
dress the same they added to them.
The Knights emphatically state that
they abhor the action taken by the out
rased miners Is mush as any one. They
inform the Union Pacific that it Vsn get
ali the white labor 1t requires from Clti.
zens OF this country. There is no excuse
for the retention Of the Chinese. 1--WE are
law-sbiding citizsns," say they, "and We
mean to remain so until our rights and
liberties are ieopardihsd. Then the first
law OF nature yill guide u.s." They charge
Galloway with abuse Of confidence in CIV
ing the recent private correspondence to
the public. They further state that they
did not make any demand, but simply sent
in q request.
A petition asking the Union Pacific d.
sectnrs to remove the Chinese from the
company . employ, is now being circulated
in Omaha and ali along the entire road for
signatures Of citizens as well ss employees.
