Vfcar.General Conway, OF Chicago,
COmsne ends Labor OrxamfsattOms

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Upon seeing, last night,
the Montreal dispatch announcing that the
archbishop OF Quebec had issued a mande-
ment against the Knights Of Labor and
all orders where the oath of secrecy Is
said: 81 doubt the authenticity of the re-
port. We see nothing reprehensible I'm the
knights of l.aboror other trade unions as we
have them here. They are no worse, no more
oath-bound than our Hibernians or Forest
ers and am chaplain myself in several euch
who are not. Their secrecy ia business secrecy
and intended for no evil purpose. The labor
organizations believe in settling their troubles
by arbitration. They do not teach the destruc-
tion OF property. think the workingmen arc
made better by such organizations. Were we
to pronounce against such societies IL would
affect IL, 0O0of our members In Chicago alone.
But, as 1 said before, we see nothing reprehen.
sble in labor organizations, but feel rather like
encouraging them. So far 4 know there Is
not the least clash between their principles and
our church teachings"

COMPLAINING OF THE ELECTRIC LIGHT WORKS.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Ingalls, presented q
petition from citizens Of the District praying
for the passage OF an act which will speedily
relieve them from an oppressive annoyance and
nuisance, caused by the operating machinery
and engines OF the b. 8. Electric Lighting com
LIST and I'd streets northwest. The pe IL
declare that the works, as they believe, were
located without competent permit, and that
the works are detrimental to their peace and
health; that the presence of these works has
deprecated the value OF property In that neigh
boIhood. as they render the location unfit for
residence. The petitioners set forth that the
constant operation OF the machinery not only
keeps up din that prevents necessary rest at
the neighborhood so as TO make them unit for
air generated and OF the smoke and SCOT caused
