TO PROTECT BUSINESS MEN.
Society to Oppose the Knights of
Labor and Other Labor Or
gantZations

CHICAGO, July 29.-The Chicago Coun-
ell of the Conservators' League of Amer
lea held an open meeting last night.
Judge Mark Bangs, formerly United
States district attorney IN Chicago, said
that the recent labor troubles had been
80 disastrous both to laborers and capi-
talists that the "Conservators' League of
America" had been formed to unite all
men who believe IN the supremacy of
the law and are willing to join in put
ting in motion great moral force to up
hold the law and conserve alike the
rights of the employer and the en-
ploved, to protect business from dis
orders and from all unlawful interfer-
ence, aud to promote better under
standing of the true relations between
the employer and the employees. Re-
ferring 10 the Knights of Labor, he said
it would be the duty of the League to
guard against any attempt by them to
CdpIuIo IIo UdIlOG UOA anu COuGIUl lcSlS-
lation, and to antagonize the Utopian
scheme of class who seek to overthrow
the present order of things.
Mr.. w. H. Van Ornum read paper,
in which he said that labor organiza-
tions had reached point where they
dictated what wages should be paid,
hours of work, number of employees, the
kini of work to be done, and now pro.
pose to secure by the use of the ballot
certain legislation which would take
swav the last remaining safeguards of
business men and destroy the CONNER
cial interests of the country. 1t all
tended towards Anarchy and the over.
throw of the present order of social and
political liberty. To meet these schemes
the business men had no organization.

but evidently expect to be compelled to
defend the accused against the charge OF
Socialism and -Anarchism indirectly
aimed at them by the prosecution.
On Saturday night another large and
enthusiastic mass meeting hell in Chi
cago to protest against the prejudice Of
press and public, and demanding an I'M
partial trial of the Anarchists. The fol-
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved. That we consider the attl-
tude of the daily press in the present So
called Anarchist trial as mean and con-
temptible; and be it further
Resolved, That we will do everything
in our power to secure good and hon
defense for the indicted; and bs it

Resolved, That we indorse the action
of the New York Central Labor union
in participating in the election.

TIE souirming and twisting of the
capitalist press of tiis country is quite
excruciating. The Chicago press, in its
efforts to manufacture public sentiment
against the Anarchists no W on trial, is
most pitiable. Sometimes all labor or
gapizations are illegal then it is the
Socialist, who is pernicious; again, the
Anarchists are the disturbing element
Read the following. from an editorial
on the Anarchists which appeared in
the Chicago Tribune: ''It is these men
(the Anarchists) whom society demands
shall be punished and not workin gmen
and Socialists, who are honestly trying
to solve the labor problem"

SOME of the labor papers in the east
continue to state that the printers OF
Denver asked for an advance in the
scale because there was scarcity OF
compositors in the west. The union has
denied this, but it appears that the de-
nisl did not go through the right chan
mel. THE ENQUIRER here calls the at
tention of tho labor press to the fact
that the west is over run with printers,
and business is very dull. The union
asked for an advance in their scale be-
cause they were working for less
than is paid in other Leading cities of
the Union, taking into account the cost
of living.

New YORK, July 30.-The EMPLOYEES

THE ANARCHISTS TRIAL.
Regular Chicago Letter Summing Up the
Evidence to Date, and Forecast
ing What's to Follow.

For The Enquirer.
The trial of our comrades in Chicago
has reached very interesting point.
Two weeks have been consumed by the
state in attempting to prove the eight
men guilty of murder. The attempt has
proved utterly fruitless. The prosecu-
ton has failed to make out case. 1t is
true, the result of their vindictiveness is
shown by the apparent strength of the
evidence against Fielden and Spies
Several policemen testified to seeing
Fielden shoot at the officers, and the
case against Spies, leaving out the testi.
mony of the man Gilman, is apparently
very dark; but that the devoted eight
have been proven guilty of the murder
of officer Deagan on the night of May 4
which is the charge against them
deny.
Prior to Wednesday the twenty y-eighth
the states attorney had utterly failed to
connect any of the defendants with the
bomb throwing. On that day the state
entirely changed its front, and the fell
low Gllmar swore that he saw Spies
light the fuse with match, and Schnau-
belt throw it among the police. The
prosecution could not find a decent man
to swear 10 this concocted story, but a
tool WAS found in the person of this Gil
mara professional tramp, constitu
tfonal liar-as the defence will prove
The very appearance of the fellow ought
to have been sufficient to assure the Jury
that he was lying. Here is portion of
the Tribune's description of him as he
appeared upon the witness stand.
He is feet 3 inches high, but is 80
lank and cadaverous ia proportion that
he seems tall enough to be an escaped
giant from Barnum's circus. Dressed in
a seedy black suit, and with his long,
curling hal-, sanctimonious visage and
great stretch of scraggy throat, Gilman
looks the Methodist parson of souther n
caricature. His
general appearance fully justified Mr.
Fosters question as to whether he was
an opium eater or practiced the chloral
or morphine habit"
1t is to such specimen of human
monstrosity that the state has looked
for the connecting link" in its chain of
evidence against the accused.
Thompson's testimony on Tuesday is
also weak, and the able cross examina-
ton of Mr.. Foster made it appear utterly
ridiculous. He swore that he heard a
conversation between Spies and Schwab
On the evening of May 4, in which the
words pistols" and police" were used.
his conversation, he swore. was carried
on In English, and was heard by him
full minute and half after he had
passed the two men. Mr.. Foster, in his
cross-examination, after binding the wit
ness to the time-one and half min
livestock out his watch and noting the
time said: "Spies and Schwab have
now disappeared around the corner"

A GOOD MAN GONE.

William H. Foster died in Philadel-
phia on Wednesday. July %, after a
painful illness of two months, though he
had been in i'll health for several years
and has been subject to serious attacks
at times.
In the death of Will Foster the labor
cause has lost one of its ablest and most
active men. He had been for several
years hardworking member of the
typographical union, and also of the
Knights Of Labor. lie was president
of the Cincinnati Typographical union
in 1880, and represented it IN the Inter
national which met the same year in
Chicago. He was president of Phila-
delphia union No. 2, and secretary of
the Federation of Trades and Labor
Unions of the United States and Canada
at the time of his death. 1t was the
efforts of Will Foster which made Gin
cinnati union town a few years ago,
it having been up to the time of his
taking hold one of the darkest spots in
the printing craft IN the country and
it was by this piece of fine management
that he became known as "the lit lie
giant" among organizers. ~
Deceased was born in Brighton, En-
gland, in lS4S, and was, therefore, SS
years of age at the time of his death.
He learned the printing trade in En-
gland came to America in 1873, locating
at Philadelphia.
Will was an occasional contributor to
The ENQUIRER, and his big b. cart and
grand work have long been understood
aud appreciated by many of its read ers.
In after years when the history of hu-
manitY's struggles for light and truth is
written. the name and deeds of William
Henry Foster will stand out in bright
characters upon its pages.

Two Who Won't.

The shah of Persia, having given off
cial notice that lie will offer Americans
every encouragement to do business
with that country, 1t may be Well to state
few facts.
ANY Persian CO .poration found guilty
of watering its stock is at once dissolved
and the officials decapitated. No com
pany or corporation can issue more than
one mortgage on its property. Any cor
poration defaultlng on its interest will
never default but once. Any statement
put out by a corporation to mislead in
Yestors secures prompt punishment for
all officials.
There ls no freezing out small stock
holders There Is no refunding or boil
ing over process. No stock is sold for
less than its face and if stockholders be-
come suspicious the government steps IN
and examines the books, and cuts off a
few heads.
We don't apprehend that either Mr.
Gould or Mr.. Field have any intention
of establishing business in Persia but it
is we'll enough for them to be posted
upon facts.-Wall Street News.

The Knights of Labor who were con-
victed of IAN attempt to commit mis-
demeanor" are still in Jail at O5wego,
Kansas Their prison sentence expired
on July 22, but thew are now held for
fines and costs, which, for the five prls-
oners, aggregate about $1,000. The
county commissioners have said that
the men will be released if a petition
signed by majority of the voters of the
county is presented, and the petition is
being circulated. What will be the out
come it is hard to say, but that the de-
tention of these men is cruel and uni
tiiable there is no question.

POLICE INTERFERESoE.

Apropos of the haymarket trials
want to ask the readers OF THE EN-
ou1RER to think little upon the subject
or police interference with private and
public meetings of legal citizens of this
great freeH) country. The right to as
semble and quietly discuss their affairs
is accorded the people in the traduced
principles of our government; but peri
odically during the past ten years we
have seen this right ruthlessly trampled
under foot by the thuggish minious oi
the powers that be.
There are no cases on record where
the sanctitY of the Masons, Odd Fellows,
or such organizations has been invaded J;
but scores of times during the past ten
years workingmen's meetings have been
raided and broken up by the police with
out the authority of law and innocent
men, women and children have been
slain in cold blood by the orders OF
fends who control the national, state
and municipal governments.
Recently a meeting of New York
City district assembly of the knights Of
Labor, at which Brother Powderly was
present, was pounced upon, without the
slightest provocation, and broken up.
l could cite score of instances of this
kind, but what is the use? Let us look
at more serious phase Of the subject.
There have been times when those as
sailed by the police have fought back,
so to speak, in defense of their rights
and, as in the haymarket affair, some of
the raiders have been laid out. Now, |
am not lawyer, (thank God | had a
narrow escape from that curse when a
YOUTH, but l am OF opinion that a man
has right to defend his life and prop
ertv against all invasions; and as the
right to peaceablv assemble and freely
speak are said to be the inalienable
property of all men, it strikes me the
proper thing to do when these are as
sailed is to defend them.
In support of this position want to
quote an opinion delivered by Judge
McAllister, of Chicago, in 1877, and then
leave the matter for you to think upon.
During the great Pittsburg strike of
1877 excitement ran high all over this
country, and meetings of a sympathetic
character were held in many places.
One of these meetings was held by the
Furniture-workers' union of Chicago
The police raided the hall and broke up
the meeting, knocking down County
Commissioner Wasserman, the then pro-
prietor of the hall, and over Wasser-
mans PROSTATE body taking possession
of the hall, Clubbing and shooting peace
able citizens, and killing Charles Tess
mann, without even 80 much as reading
the riot act, A great many arrests were
made and their trials took place before
Judge McAllister, who gave as his Judi
cial opinion, these words:
"If every blue-coat had been shot
dead in his trayks' when he was
breaking up that meeting there
would have been no law in this country
to have convicted single man guilty Of
the shooting"

The Executive Board of t1e Knights
of Labor will conduct the defense of the
men arrested at Kansas City on the
charge of train wrecking. This is right,
for there can be no doubt that the men
are innocent and that the whole thing
is dirty lob of the detectives, who
have trumped up the charges and hired
accomplices 80 as to get the reward
offered for the wreckers of the train at
Wyandotte.

THE Chicago bomb WAS thrown by a
State Socialist" says "W." in Lucifer.
Where is the proof? Where is tie cul-
prit? The fact is, Lucifer has simple
manner of classifying all kinds of re-
formers, by dividing them into two
groups: Those who are Autonomists
and those who are not. The latter are
Jumped as State Socialists. Hence the
most adroit way of saying the bomb was
not thrown by an Autonomist, is to
charge it to State Socialist.
