A SQUARE CHALLENGE.
Tho strike of tho Knights of Labor at
Galveston aud their threats to boycott
all kinds OF business il the State
which DOES not fall into limo with their
demands, Is g square challenge TO the
opposition either TO Internationally
surrender or ontor into fight which
will settle the dispute by force ofpub-
lie opinion. There IL no lodging this
issue Ia tho end, aud no compromis0
OF the great principles involved-S
question OF tho rights OF labor AMI capl-
tai brought TO the test OF practical
clash. Indifference on the part of the
public in general only delays the final
struggle; IL might ss well como at once,
for II Ia one OF the gravsst matters
presented under our civiliz alton. The
temper OF the knights OF Labor is
shown by their declaration of war on
the Typographical union OF Galveston
for refusing TO enter the strike, esps-
cially those members employed on tho
News. Those men have been steadiast
in their devotion to the principles of
labor union, but il this case they per-
ceived divided duty-ono to the
order, and the other to an employer
who had always paid them the hi CHEST
wages for good work and treated them
fairly snd generously. This il the
gauntlet thrown down by tho leaders
Of tho present movement, who de-
