The Catholic Clergy and the knights of
Labor.
BALTIMORE, August 16th.-The american
prints an interview with Cardinal Gibbons.
in which he says: Cardinal Taschereau's
condemnation of the Knights of Labor
should not be taken as the sentiment of
the Church toward that order. | am not
familiar with the labor organizations in
Quebec, but it is certain that the Cardinals
hostility grew out of some local laws or
conduct of the knights which are contrary
to the doctrines of the Church. As to the
Knights of Labor in the United States
have not thoroughly examined their con-
stitution or studied their purposes, yet from
reading the newspapers and Mr.. Powderly's
public statements, infer that the objects of
the Knights are praiseworthy and in no
way opposed to TIE views of the Church.
Catholic prelates will to man declare in
favor of the organization of labor. There
can be no wrong in such 3 course Organ
ization is the basis of all progress, political,
social or religious. Only when it is abused
does the Church raise her voice aSed call
| out her children"

and employed Michael Rian to work fos
him. and yesterday morning they began
cutting hay. Burrows warned the men
not to cut the hay, as he would not
! permit them to finish the work. Fen
ton laughed at Burrows, who turned
and went away. In about an hour Fenton
| and Rian, who had continued work, were
shot in the back, the former through the
spine and abdomen. The shooting was
done from an ambush with Winchester
rifles The men lived six hours, and before
dying made an ante-mortem statement,
| claiming that Burrows and Doc White did
the killing. White has been arrested At
last accounts Burrows was at large, with
| the vigilauts in pursuit, who will probably
lynch him if they succeed in efecting his
capture.
