In the discussion with tho executive

when he made the morocco. men an offer
of the use of one of his factories, (the
Griner factory, for three months free to

said he would give them the Griner factory
for three months and rent 1t to them for the
balance Of the year or for five years If they
will take it, at the rate of $3.50 year. Mr.,
Colwell said they should probably accept
that offer.

the city had ordered skins to be put in soak |
since the walk-out, but after conferences
with other manufacturers he had rescinded |
that order. The board thought this sug-
gestive and did not like that aspect of the |
ease. They do not want n lockout, and |

General Master Workman,

SCRANTON, PA March 26.-General Master
Workman Powderly, of the Knights of
Labor, who has been confined to his house
for several days owing to an accidentwhich
he sustained last Saturday night in Bloom
ington, Ill.,, where he fell and fractured two
of his ribs, was called upon this afternoon
by a representative of the Associated Press.
In reply to the question, SIS the strike In
the southwest likely to be extended ~ Mr.,
Powderly answered: "Most emphaticnlly,
no; every strike must be confined to the
section in which 1t originates, and must be
settled there"
When asked what authority there was for
the statement of Chairman Irons, Of st.
Louis, published this afternoon, to the eff
feet that the strike would probably extend
throughout the United States and include
all the Knights of Labor, regardless of occu-
patton, Mr.. Powderly replied: "NTr. Irons
has no authority whatever to make such
statement. That order can only come from
the executive board. may say there is no
danger whatever of any such order being
issued at present. Where knights of Labor
are on terms of peace with their employers
their agreements and contracts must be
lived up to, no matter what may be going
on in any other part of the country. Where
no contract or agreement exists between
employer and employed all differences aris-
ing between them must he settled through
arbitration. This must and shall be the last
strike undertaken without full authority
from the executive board after having made
thorough investigation of the cause of the
trouble and exhausted every possible means
of effecting peaeeable settlement"
Although quite III from the effect of his
recent accident, Mr.. Powderly left for New
York on the O'Clock train this afternoon to
attend a meeting OF the Executive Board of
the Knights of Labor, to be held there to-
night, for the purpose of formulating some
plan looking to an early settlement OF the
troubles in the southwest.
