BOYCOTTERs VICTORIOUS.
The Knights of Labor Score a Vic
tory at Galveston.
Special to the Globe.
GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. IA canvass
of the labor situation to-day demonstrated
the fact that last nights finding of the ar
bitration committee will be accepted by
both sides and all fears of further immedi-
ate labor troubles on the Mallory wharf or
elsewhere in Galveston are dispelled. The
Knights of Labor are well
pleased with the outcome and
by reason of the concession contained in
the recommendary clause of the arbitration
commissioners finding. which absolutely
prohibit the Mallorys from employing
single colored man in addition to those
already employed, and the Knights are
using this important fact among the
unorganized laborers of the city as an
inducement why they should join the
order. The payroll of the company is at
it's maximum. Now there is no prospect
of their being compelled to increase their
force, hence the concession is of no practi-
cal value to the Knights except in point of
principle, and they are making much of it
as such. The business men of the city
were loud in their boasts thai the boycott
tiers were wrong in their demands. and not
hairs breadth should be conceded to the
Knights. In fact, they were
going to infict such a blow on the organi-
zation of Knights of Labor that it
would cease to exist on this island. Their
chagrin was, therefore, very great to-day
when they read in the official reports by the
arbitration committee, signed by three of
their prominent merchants, that in consid-
Grafton of the fact that the strike originated
in consequence of mutual misunderstand-
ings, we recommend, etc. But while
abusing it's three delegates who
signed this mutual misunderstanding
settlement, nothing will come of this dis
satisfaction, as they admit the damage is
done and they must abide the result that
strengthens an already strong organization.
Adjt. Gen. King is still in the city pur
suing his Investigations. In an interview
this evening. Agent Sawyer said he would
write the MalIorys for reply to the recon-
mendation as soon as he had official notice
of the same.
Boycotting Clothing Firm.
Special to the Globe.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 12.-Kaufman
Bros, cIothiers refused to employ union
men on their new building at the corner of
Smithfield street and Fifth avenue, and as a
result they are being boycotted by the
Knights of Labor. The boycotting took
new form to-day when it was discovered
that their signs were being placed on the
cars of the Birmingham & Pittsburg street
railroad. Car No. Is received mud bath
and several stones were fired at the driver.
The assailants made all sorts Of
threats. A crowd of workingmen
stopped car No. II and the driver was hus-
ted off the platform. A young man started
climb upon the car and re move the Ob-
ctionable sign, but was pulled down by
cool-headed associate. The driver then re-
sumed his seat and drove off at high rate
of speed, the mob contenting itself with
covering the car with mud. A few of the
drivers and conductors on the line are
Knights of Labor. One driver was dis
charged for refusing to take out his car.
There is some talk of strike.
