THE COMMITTEE.

NEW YORK, March 27.-tirand Master Work
man Powderly of the knights CT Labor, arrived
here last night and held consultation with Other
members OF the general executive board In con
varsatiOn with representative of the Associated
Press, in regard to statements OF Master Work
man Irons, of ST. Louis, as to the strike becoming
general throughout the country, Mr.. POwderly
reiterated his views as expressed in the interview
held with him in Scranton. If Mr.. Irons had
made any such statement he had exceeded his au.
thoritv, which is limited to district 101 He even
has no power over districts II and 10, which are
cooperating with 10l. The strike had gone far
enough, and not another move must be mace
without order of the general executive board.
He added: This strike originated in district No.
1Ol. The general executive board was never mott
fled of anv grievances in that district until the
strike had been in progress several days, and then
no official notice was received until we called for
it, We were not asked to interfere, nor have we
been asked for assistance. This strike has extend
ed fer enough and must be settled where 1t is The
statement that it is for the recognition OF the
Knights of Labor as an organization is erroneous,
and is against our advice and command. That the
men have grievances and cause for complaint we
believe to be true. But. whether true or not no
harm can come of an investigation. The men are
anxious for it, and we can see no
reason why Mr. HoXie should fear it. We are in
favor of ending the matter now, and will submit
this proposition TO Mr.. Gould, viz: "Let him APP
point committee of three and we will appoint II
similar committee. Then let these gentlemen Sc
affair and make recommendations, and we will
agree to abide by their decision. We will not ask
for the return of any man who has been guilty of
any act of violence to either person or property,
for we are not organized to promote or shield
wrong doing"

NO reply to this message was received but this
committee s request for conference was ignored
and Its premises at once invaded, and property de-
strOyed by the men of your order in great num-
bers who also seized and disabled its trains, as
they have since continued to do. The board of di-
rectOrs or this company, thereupon had COPY of
the correspondence above given, made and trans
mitted to Mr. ii. NJ. HoXe, first vice-president and
general manager, at st. Louis, with instructions
to use every endeavor to continue the operations of
the road, and committed the whole matter to his
hands. Mr. HoXie g overtnres, made through the
governors OF Missouri and Kansas, who stated that
they found no cause for a STRIKE were rejected by
your order. These, and subsequent correspond
ence between him and Powderly, are well known
to you and Mr.. HOXie's course has been confirmed
by the board, and the matter is still in his hands
| am, therefore, instructed by the board to refer
you to him as its representative in the premises
| am directed to add on behalf of the board that,
in its judgment so long the company is forcibly
kept from the control of its property, and tom
performing its chartered dutiesf its business is
done If at ALL not under conditions of law which
are common to all citizens, but only at the will of
a Undertaking force. Any negotiations with such
force would be unwise and useless. Terms made
with it would not be settlement of the dfcuitias
but a triumph of force over the law of the land
IL would mean nothing, in their judgment, but new
troubles and worse This is the result of their ex-
perience. ~

JOINS on your men To- return to duty and this com
pany mas continued its advertisements offering

oruer assumes, IN your communications, the res
ponslOlllty for these men, and the power and con
trol over them, the following, from the proclaim
auon OF the governor of Missouri is expressive of
their duty and of your own:
