THE arrest of FIVE Knights of Labor at ST.
Louis for causing the recent explosions where
by several street-cars have been blown up
and many lives Of innocent persons endan-
gerea, and the quite positive assertion Of the
authorities that they have evidence showing
that the officers of the labor organization of
which they were members were cognizant of
the scoundrelly purpose of these fellows, is a
startling piece of information. The police
claim that the officers knew that the money
given these men, ostensibly to buy food,
was really intended to buy dynamite with
which to blow up cars. If this
latter can be established it puts
an indellible stain of shame upon the ST..
Louis organization, and brings it under the
condemnation of all honorable men. Labor
has a right to organize for self-defense, and
organized labor is commendable so long as it,
in common with other men and other organ
izations conforms to the the law and acts in
spirit of fairness with others. The Knights
of Labor, nor any other body of men, how
ever commendable the purpose of the organ
ization, has the right to defy the law or resort
to acts of violence to enforce their demands.
The history of the ST. Louis car-drivers'
strike is well known. Following the cessation
of work at time when the city was full of
people, attracted by the great fair, the COM
paries succeeded in manning their cars with
other men, Then followed acts of violence
assaults on these new laborers, destruction of
property, and the impairment of innocent
lives The authorities now claim that the
local organization of the Knights Of Labor is
responsible by criminal connivance for the
blowing up of cars and attempted murder by
use of dynamite. 1t is hard to believe that
any organization Of men would be guilty of
such villainy, and it is to be hoped
that this is mistake. The men who
are found guilty of it should be
promptly and properly punished. This is due
not only to the laborers against whom their
assaults were directed, but to the honest mem
bers of the Knights Of Labor, who would not
be guilty of such infamY. There are few
