CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Decemb n 20
The action OF the Executive Com
miitee f the Freetmaa's Aid Society
in Cincinnati today in asking for the
resignation Of Prof. Calkina, II the
Chattanooga University, for alleged
discoultesy to Cololed preacher, has
created widespread sensation ia this
city and Surrounding sectors. ! he
facts in the case are the e: Prof. Csl
kjDs went to the Office OF the Methodist
AdvOcdte, the organ of the NJ. f..
CHURCH, lew weeLs ago. He was
very much pressed for time and he
walked rapidly through tie office. Ho
was introduced to B. II. Johnson,
colored, by tina Rev. T. Garter, editor Of
thu pepper. Prof. Calkins exchanged
the usual couneses with the minis er
and hurried on. johnson then claimed
that Prof. Calkins would rot sheke
hands with him after he had extended
his hand. An explanation followed
aud Johnson was fully satisfied that
no insult was meant and the result OF
the Investigation by the Executive
Committee does not meet with ap-
proval of any one here, and the re-
moval OF Prof. Calkins means injury
to the school.

LET ACTIONS SpEAn.

Mr.. Powderly told the congressional
Investigating committee that the order o
which he is chief is anxious to punisl
every one OF its members who has yiolat
cd the law. lie insisted on this quite
strenuously, and no one can question thai
he meant what he SAID, so far as he coulC
speak for the order.
II the present strike has developed one
fact more fully than another, it is that
Mr.. Powderly is as helpless as babe
lie is in position of authority, but Il is
authority only in appearance, and not in
fact. His subordinates are not bound to
obey him, and generally they do not obey
him when 1t suits them not to do so,
When he says that the Knights Of Labor
are anxious to punish those Of its MEM
bers who have taken part in violations Of
the law, we can only accept that as his
personal expression. 1t may express the
feeling OF great many Of the Knights
besides himself, but it does not seem TO
meet the approval of majority of them.
AT least, they have taken no action, that
we have heard of, to show that they stand
ready to assist The law in furnishing their
guilty members.
The obstruction and stoppage of trains
was violation OF law. The men who
killed engines, uncoupled cars and dis
placed switches are known, but instead
Of being led out to punishment they are
shielded by their order At least three of
-he men who attacked, killed and wound
ed officers of the law in this city are
Known to be Knights of Labor Have
.hese men ever been expelled from the
odge of which they were members at the
line of the fight? If any such act of ex.
was had, it has been guarded as Il
;lose secret The retention of their
lanes among the dist of members shows,
I not sympathy with them, at least
'ulpable negligence in manifesting resent
nent at their crimes.
Such things as these make Mr.. Powder
US protestations sound hollow. He may
believe what he says, but the public be-
leves that he deceiyes himself.
