A Plain Answer to MIR. Powderly.

New York Tribune.
Mr.. Powderly requests from the press can
did expression of opinion regarding the discharge
of certain workers because they chose to join the
Knights of Labor. The employers, he afirms,
had no other reason for the discharge, and were
simply engaged in boycotting the workmen and
trying to punish them for exercising their rights
as free citizens. Mr.. Powderly shall have as
frank and explicit answer as he can wish.
If the Knights of Labor had acted upon the
principles which Mr.. Powderly avows in his pub
lished letters no sane man would ever have
dreamed of discEarging men for joining that or
Mr.. Powderly would like to make the Knights of
Labor would be blessing, not only to the men
employed, but to all employers as well.
But the Knights of Labor, as Mr.. Powderly
knows to his sorrow. have not acted upon those
principles Not to refer to conspicuous and pain
tables loaded with letters telling of strikes
begun without decent reason or any attempt
to arbitrate; of strikes which are naked
attempts by an organization to die
tate to employers and to prove its
power in order to enlist more men. He knows
that hundreds of boycosts have been declared
and sustained by organizations called knights OF
Labor. many of them in direct violation of the
laws, and all of them intended to rob some free
workers of their rights. He knows that his or
ganization as a whole has not denounced nor
disavowed these things, nor made any attempt
to stop them. The fact is that the world is wait
ing with some interest to see whether Mr. Pow
derby himself can stay at the head of the order
after he has given to its members advice to be-
have as law abiding citizens and sensible men.
The organization means one thing in one town.
and another thing in another. 1t means one
| thing in one trade and a different thing alto
gether in another trade. Every employer is
bound to take it as he finds it in his own town
and In his own business.
When the Knights of Labor behave as the or
ganization ought to behave, and as Grand Master
Powderly has tried to make it behave, an EN-.
ployer is acting both foolish and contrary to his
duties as good citizen if he attempts to coerce
men to leave, or not To join the organization.
But where employer finds the organization
behaving as it has behaved in thousands of cases
which Mr.. Powderly himself has felt compelled
to rebuke, the employer not only has the right
but it is public duty to refuse to support en-
courage. or in any way countenance pernicious
conspiracy against free laborers.
