tective Union has replied to the ultiiustum of
the association of forty two shoe manufacturers,
insisting that prices remain in force until Au-
gust 1887, instead OF until November, 1886, as
desired by the manufacturers but agreeing not
to prevent lasters frorn going to work st J. B.
Reynolds's factory. They declare that as the
rules heretofore in vogue have been broken by
the manufacturers those rules are now null and
void. The trouble at Reynolds has now
sunk ont of sight, s. and the issue
now is whether the rules shall
continue in force or not The manufacturers In
sist that the rules are still binding and will not
agree to pay the prices, which expired by limita-
ton on July l, beyond next November. The
lasters will rot continue longer under the price,
and insist that prices which may be agreed upon
shall hold for full year. They also claim the
right to properly apply these prices to each fac
tory in order that they may be fair to all.
Ii is understood here that the Knights of
Labor are in favor of continuing under the rules,
ard that some rule will be made whereby all as

Cardinal Gibbons,s Opinion Of the Knight.

BALTIMORE. Aug, 1.-THE American will
print, tomorrow. an interview with Cardinal
Gibbons, in which he says: Cardinal Tasche-
reau's condemnation of the knights of Labor
should not be taken as the sentiment OF the
church toward that organization. / am not
familiar with the labor organization 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 organi-
cation in the United States, I have not thorough
ly examined their constitution studied their
purposes: yet from reading the newspapers and
Mr.. lPowderlv's published statements / infer
that the objects Of the Knights are praise
worthy, and in no way opposed to the
views of the church. The Catholic pre-
lates will, to "a man. declare in favor
of the organization of labor. There can be 40
wrong in such course Organization is the
basis of all progress. POLITICAL social and relie-
ious. Only when IL is abused does the church
raise her voice and call out her children. have
no knowledge of the workings of the local So
cieties in Canada Whether not secret
pledges are taken by the Knights here is a ques-
ton on which more light should be thrown by
their leaders. Vicar general Conway. of Chi
cago, who examined the constitution carefully,
assures me that it bears no resemblance to that
of the Freemasons or ddfeliows, and other or
CARNATIONS which the church has always antag-
onzed. The distinction must be made too. as
to the nature Of the secret pledges We hold
that If a man joins society. swearing never
to reveal any of its workings matter
how criminal. and to obey the dictates
of its officers blindly. he surrenders his
personal liberty, becomes slave to
mis- fellow man, and cannot partake of the
sacraments of the church. On the other hand.
if q man joins an organization, swearing to
keen secret its workings, with the prov;so that
nothing therein shall be contrary to the laws of
the land to his conscience and religious tenets,
we hold that his action is perfectly justifable
The whole question as to the church's attitade
towards the Knights of Labor depends on which
of these oaths thu members take If the latter
are in accordance with Mr. Powderlv's state
ments, then the church sayS to the Knights of
Labor, God speed You If. however, the abso.
Lutte blind pledge is taken, no matter how land
able the objects Of the society are, the church
can never countenance it. and will call on her
