A DANGEROUS MOVEMENT
ORGANIZING THE NEGROES INTO
KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

COLUMBIA, S. c., December lS.-The advent of
some white men in this state, whe are commits,
stoned organizers of Knights of Labor, has caused
much bitter feeling against the order by the farm
ers Some of the state papers are denouncing in
tue strongest terms the proposed organization of
negroes in the rural districts At this date of de.
preston and agricultural poverty, il Is considered
by many as criminal to array the colored people
against their white employers. Mr.. w p. Russell,
state organizer of the knights of Labor, in answer
ing newspaper comments Is bitter. He SAYS:
IN your ignorance you might think that me-
chanics and laborers are not American citizens,
ana that laborers in the rural districts of South
Carolina are to be used as lazy, intolerant men, in
THESE districts chooses to dictate that they are not
treemen, and shall work for what pay you choose
10 allow them for small time at work upon back
Done and when that bone is gone beg for bread the
rest OF the year"
Some of the papers advise farmers to "shoot" all
white men like Russell, il they try to organize ne
gro Knights of Labor, and run them from the
neighhprhood. They advise that the legislature
appropriate money for the maintenance Of militia
as well asequipped soldiers would be needed If this
organization goes on This the legislature has
done, to further and protect the farmers against
thls organization OF coored people living on their
plantstions The senate has passed by a large ma
Jorlty, and the house will doubtless make 1t law
"a bill making 1t conspiracy, punishable by fine
and imprisonment, to interfere between EMPLOYER
and employe in any contract.
The possibility of strike in cotton picking time
when the whole crop of the state would be loss II
not gathered, was the principal argument used to-
gether with the declaration that if strike occurred
among the negroes much more blood would be
spilled than last summer in Chicago and st. Lous.
