aod these are stronger than partisan
nolilieal ties. That il why do not
fear the intrusion OF politics when
people talk, az sometimes they do,
about using the Knights Of Labor as a
political engine; lhey.utter the most
arrsut nonsense. II is not worth
while to discufs the matter with such
a man. He is either q liar or an
empty-headed fool.
In conclusion Mr.. Powderly raid
that the Knights Of labor as al or
ganization had nothing To DO with the
strike in the bitumin Us coal region, as
the miners were under a separate
organization, but he was sstitfied the
day was very near when all the labor
organizations OF the country would
be united under one general supervis-
ion and central. He will remain in
Philadelphia with the General Com
mittee several days, unless called
away, as he thinks possible, to the
West TO arrange the difficulties there.

HeDort ON the Interstate Commerce
BtH.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The report
of the Committee on Commerce upon,
the interstate commerce bill was pre-
scented to the House to-day. After
explaining the details of the measure,
il saws: Ii is believed that the eract'
ment and enforcement OF such a law
would provide for the Just and neces-
sarv abridgement of the monopoly
powers of these corporations and pro
tect the people against unreasonable
charges and eNtortionate actions, and
will at the same time not interfere
with or embarrass the management OF
railroad corporations in anything
which is reasonable and just. The
committee believe it wiser and bet
ter to provide for the enforcement OF
such a law through the Instrumental
itv OF the ordinary courts OF justice
and by the Judges and juries OF the
country than by the orders OF a COM
mission. The machinery OF the courts
is already in existence and Will re-
auire no additional expense, and 1t Is

suit was instituted by the company, in
the Supreme Court Of the State, when
that court decided that telephone COM
panies, like telegraph companies, are
c. mmon carriers, and as such come
under State jurisdiction, and also that
the law reducing the charge for the
use cf instruments is constitutional.
In consequence oi this decision, the
company has announced its intention
to withdraw from doing business in
Indiana. They allege az the reason
for this step that the expense Of the
instruments aud EeTvice is such that
$50 a year for each user Of
the telephone VII not pay
them 10 continue the business
where they are limited to that
amount. They also state that they
shall appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court against the decision OF
the Indiana court. The notice comes
from the local company, but its con-
nection with the main company de-
stroys any more than a formal differ
ence between the two. The vestips-
ton which such a suit wil!insure, and
the investigation into the validity Of
the Bell patent which the general gov
eminent is about to make, show that
the power Of the Bell monopoly to
extort is probably approaching its
term. At all events, should the Su-
preme Court confirm the Indiana de-
cision, as is very confidently expected,
other States will, in the same way, re-
duce exlortionate charges. In New
York measure for such purpose is
already before the Legislature. The
action OF the company 10 threatening
to close its offices in Indiana is re-
Rarded as taken for the purpose OF
compelling the acceptance OF its
terms, but the general effect will be 10
excite and increase the opposition
which already exists to extravagant
charges.

are familiar, while no plan of commi :
sion which has been proposed could
be conveniently accessible to all the
