VI. Ia Committee Awaits Reply

'LouIs, Mo-, Sept. chairman
Powdcrly and Secretary Turner OF the
national executive committee of the
knights of Labor returned to-day from
Sedalia. They say that very large aud
enthusiastic meeting of knights was
held there last night and that the
men generally were slightly incensed
at the failure of negotiations with GEN
eral Manager Talmoge of the Wabash
road, and at the position taken by TINT
gentleman, and were very anxious to be
called out.
Inc leaders were more conservative IN
their views, however, and curbed the
eagerness OF the men to such degree
that they are now willing to quietly await
the action of the executive committee.
Messrs. Powderly and Turner win to-
morrow submit new proposition to Col
Talmage, to the effect that he increase his
working force either by filling vcancies
by employment of additional force, with
no discrimination TO the locked.out
Knights of Labor and shall employ no
other men until their number is exhausted.

to-day. Professions OF men, women,

Il crimson feather in her hat or wore
a piece of red ribbon pinned to the bosom
of her dress. The men had red bands
about their hats and wore the same
material fastened 20 their coats, The
children wore red stockings.
The occasion OF this display was the
sociallstic picnic organized in opposition
10 the trades assembly demonstration To-
morrow, because the latter organization
had voted to taboo the red fiag. Speeches
to the assembling crowd were made BY
Messrs Fielding, Parsons and Spears.
TRADE against capital was INDUCED IN by
all the speakers, each putting much stress
upon the assertion that poverty Is closely
allied to social degradation.
a red flag was presented TO the metal
workers society, then the crowd checred
aud the band struck up lively air.
Though chilled by q raw wind from off
the lake, and though the sky threatened
rain, the socialists formed IN line
and set out to walk TO Og.

THE CHINESE RIOTS.
General Manager Galloway of the Union
Pacific Interviewed.


OMAHA, NEB., Sept. G.-General. Man
ager Galloway of the Union Pacific com.
pany was asked this afternoon to make a
statement of the situation at Rock
Springs, Evanston and other mining
camps on the line of that road regarding
the existing trouble between the white
and Chinese miners. Mr.. Galloway said
that notice has been served on Beck
with and Quin, coal-mine contractors,
at Rock Springs and Evanston to remove
all Cinnamon from Evanston by to-day,
otherwise serious trouble would cnsuc.
The United States government has sent
troops there and he assumed that order
would soon be restored.
"ln consequence of the difficulty ex-
pcrienced,h continued Mr.. Galloway Sin
getting reliable American miners in the
territories, contract was made some
ten years ago under which a certain pro-
portion of Cinnamon were engaged.
Both classes, he asserted, are now paid
fully thirty per cent higher wages than
are paid III Eastern mines.n
At Rock Springs, where the massacre
occurred, the coal companies returns
show that during the past month there
were employed about 500 miners; at
Evanston, 300 ut Carbon, 200 All
those at Carbon were Americans, while
at the other two places they are divided,
two-thirds Chinese and one-third Amer
leans. Their pay is from IS cents to 81
per ton mined, according TO the width of
the veins and the difficulties encountered
in getting ont the coal. Both classes are
paid at the same rite and have been nv
eraging about SO per day to the man for
eight hours work.
The Americans being more industrious
and skillful get out larger number of
tons than the Cinnamon, and many of
them earn over 500 per month. THIS
scale has been In force many years, and
was supposed to be satisfactory to the
men. The only advantage claimed by
the coal company in the employment of
Chinese was that II enabled them to mine
a sufficient quantity of coal to keep the
trains moving when the other miners
were off on strikes.
Last winter all the men at Carbon
went out by order of the Southern
Colorado Miners union, while they adj
mitted having no grievances of their own.
The Mormons and Chinese will not join
these unions, and therefore come under
their ban. The Mormons are moving
their families away, fearing repetition
of last weeks troubles.
Galloway was asked to define the policy
of his company. He replied that "inof-
fensive employees of the coal department
and some of Its officers have been driven
