THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Preamble and Declaration OF Principles
Of This Great and Growing
Order Of fworkingmen.

The alarming development and aggressive
ness of great capitalists and corporations, un-
less checked, will inevitably lead to the
pauperization and hopeless degradation Of
the toiling masses.
1t is imperative, If we desire to enjoy the
full blessings Of life, that check be placed
upon unjust accumulation, and the power for
evil of aggregated wealth.
This much-desired object can be accom-
plished only by the united efforts Of those
who obey the divine injunction, SIN the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread"
Therefore we have formed the Order OF
knights of Labor, for the purpose of organiz-
ing and directing the power of the industrial
masses, not as political party, for 1t is more
in it are crystalized sentiments and meas
ures for the benefit Of the whole people, but
1t should be borne in mind, when exercising
the right of suffrage, that most Of the object:

legislation and that it is the duty Of all TO as

Whereas, Ithaving become necessary

At Their Own Risk.

1t is rumored that Mr.. Sample, mas ter
mechanic of the Denver and Rio Grande-
has notified the engineers who are rum
ming their engines and pulling trains on
the road, that they will continue to do
so at their own lisk. 1t is not under
stood that Mr.. Sample has given this no.
tice because he fears any depredations
by the strikers, but because of the fact
that the rolling stock is getting into a
shakv condition from lack of necessary
repairs.
Whether this rumor is correct or not
does not matter; but it is natural con-
sequence that the rolling stock and the
road bed will get into a bad condition
BY use, and will continue to become
more and more unsafe so long as no re.
pairs are being made.
This statement is made for the purpose
of explaining why such action as is cred
tied to Mr.. Sample would be fully JUST.

do not consider that it weuld have
been any disgrace for me to have been
connected with the grand movement Of
the Rio Grande men, but that ! was, in
fany shape or manner, is Lie No.2
That the so-called "otfenses" against
the courts were committed at "the in.
stigation of bad advisers" Is Lie No. 8
That "the miners lost one million dol
lars in the last strike" by needing the
counsels of Comrade Buchanan and my
self, is Lie No. 4.
But that our advice as far as needed
was productive of good and achieved glo-
rious unprecedented results, is something
1 stand prepared at any moment to prove
beyond question.
The officials of the Denver and
Rio Grande and Colorado Coal &
Iron company are too stinkingly digni-
fed(?) in their own sight to entertain the
idea of talking matters over with the
employees upon equal grounds. To ask
Danforth, Jackson & Co. to so humiliate
themselves as to agree to abide by the
decision of board of arbitration,
would be like courting the devil for ad-
mission into heaven. Arbitration is
working successfully in the northern
coal field and Wyoming, and the best
evidence that Brother Buchanan and
myself can give is the fact that every
operator that treat and has treated with
us by virtue of our position will admit
that our dealings have been honorable
and our policy conservative throughout
that we would dare and do only that
which was and is right. And, by the
Eternal, we will do what we can, and are
asked to do, to bring the present strike
to successful issue. The News will not
scare US ; we have been taught to treat a
fool with contempt. Yours truly,

RICHMOND, Va, May. 12-The Haxall-
Crenshaw company, that did not pro-
pose to pay any attention to the Knights
of Labor or their boycott, changed their
minds and noticed it enough to consult
the commonwealth attorney as to the
possibility of prosecuting District as
sembly No. 81, and all the satisfaction
they received was that he credited them
VIII more sense than entertaining such
an idea. Not being able to accomplish
anything in that direction, they came
out in the daily papers with a paid COM
munlcation full of chaff, which was
promptly answered with circular by
the district master workman, and their
charges were so completely and effect
lively refuted that it left them no ground
to come back at US again. The good
work of organization is going on vigor-
ously. We are trying to extend out
work into the counties, and will shortly
let you know with what success.

Work in the railroad shops is fair and
the men are all we'll treated since the
great strike,
The building trade is very brisk here
and the outlook for plenty of work at
fair wages promising.
There are four large assemblies of
Knights in this city, and workingmen of
every trade and calling are identifying
themselves with this growing organi-
zation.
A grand labor union picnic, to be
given under the auspices OF the knights
of Labor assembly at Calhoun, Missouri,
will take place June 20. Special trains
will be run from Sedalia and all points

The Ballot Box.

If the ballot box was unequal to the
task of freeing 100000 of black slaves,
how can we expect it to liberate 20,000,-
600 of white slaves, asks the Kirkwin,
Kansas Independent. We might answer
because the blacks had no votes at all,
while the white slaves ofthe period have
vote. But where is the difference after
all? The master represented the negro
at the polls and the master of to-day
doesn't care how his slave votes. Either
of the 'two grand old parties" answer
his purpose just as well.-Ex.

The long-existing strike amongst Sun

Railway contractors are very busy, and
the commencement of new lines is of

trades the masters have proposed re-

GOLDEN, May II. Having noticed that
no one In Golden seemed to take inter
est in the labor problem to correspond
with your valuable paper, l thought il
proper to let the people abroad know
that Golden is alive and up to the times
in every other particular. We are
marching steadily but surely to the
Social Revolution. Fortunately We have
had no boycotting to do here, which
means that We are having things pretty
much our own. way, as is shown by your
statement of our increasing numbers
Our people have taken great deal OF
interest in the Denver & Rio Grande
strike, always hoping that the next
paper would bring the glad tidings Of
the company's concession to the men's
just demands. Although their faith was
not broken in the least they were a,llttle
provoked, by the contempt of court''
dodge. Wonder what next! It seems
that a man is in the employ of a mo-
nopoly, whose business is in the hands
of a receiver, can be commanded by that
receiver to work ten hours per day at 5
cents per hour if he pleases, and the
man board himself (no matter what
board costs. and if he assert his rights,
or what he believes to be his rights, and
says he will not work at such rates if
he is guilty of the almost objectionable
sin of disobeying the court, whose COM
mands are carried by the receiver to the
men, who in this land of boasted free
speech can say that this man is anything
else than chattle slave, except as far as
providing home, food and clothing are
concerned. At this rate it won't be long
before all the monopolies will their
business in the receivers hands with
the United States law, militia, and every
thing else for that matter, to back them
up in their tyrannical act.
1t is very strange way of carrying out
the laws, as in these two cases for ex-
ample: In Jefferson county a man is
convicted of an attempt to burn house
down, with family sleeping in it; this
man is given sixty days behind the bars,
while another man, a so-called disturber'
of things, gets SIX months behind the
bars for his heinous crime. 1t may be
clear to some, but for my part can't see
any sound reason for it. Yours,

In the Republican of Wednesday was
A letter from M. V. B. Gillette, of Gun
nison, giving an account of the accident
which occurred on the Denver & Rio
Grande the other night in the vicinity OF
Marshall pass. The concluding par
graph of the letter is as follows: ''The
conductor was on duty, but was at the
time in the front cars. We, as passen-
gers, can see no reason to find any fault
with the engineers of the train, the con-
Quoting of the train, the road-bed or
management in any way. We do not
think the speed of the train at the time
of the accident would exceed ten miles
an hour. The lady that was Injured is
better this morning" J
The only cause which can be assigned
for this accident, is that the rolling stock
of the road is in bad shape. 1t needs
repairing, and there is no one to do the

so low in that line, that the men who
