knights Of Labor i'm the South.

THE STRIKE OF THE CoLoRED FIELD HANDS IN
LOUISIANA CONTINUES.
A telegram from New Orleans Nov. %, says:
The strike OF the negro field hands, knights of
Labor, on the Fairview plantation, st. Mary
parish, still continues. Capt. Pharr, owner OF
the place, has the support of all the neighboring
planters, and an effort will be made to crush
out the attempt to organize the field hands into
the Knights OF Labor. The New Orleans Item,
which has generally been regarded a repre-
resentative OF the labor interests here, calls
upon the Knights of Labor to halt. 1t says:
"lt Is entirely unnecessary to organize the
field hands OF the country into labor societies,
even If such combination purports to be in self
defence. The purpose OF the combination of
labor Is to offset the consolidation of capital.
There is not in the history of this country an
organization of planters or farmers which had
the power to oppress labor. In the nature Of
things such q combination cannot be effected
In no other industry are there such active COM
petition for labor as in the agricultural. The
sugar industry pays better wages than any
other agricultural industry in the United
States, and its existence should not be endan-
gered by methods which would involve labor
and planter in common ruin"
The strikers on the Fairview plantation have
been paid by Capt. Pharr and ordered off the
place. He finds no difficulty in getting other
labor.

IMPORTANT DISCUSSION AT THE ANNUAL CON.
FERENCE OF RABBIs.
The annual conference OF the Jewish rabbis
met In the tabernacle at Lexington avenue and
55th street, New York city, yesterday. The
San of to-day says: The most important work
of the morning session was the report of the
committee on the prayer book. The committee,
which consists of the Rev. Drs. Mendes Got
thell, Jastrow and Mayer, reported that home
prayer book had been prepared which excluded
all the rltualistic prayers and was intended for
the use of the women of Israel. 1t was said
that the constitution of the conference had
the treasury was very low. The committee had
tnen decided to recommend that all offer of u
publishing firm to print the book If endorsed by
the conference, and to pay ten per cent of the
Mr.; Jastrow said he was the author of the book
ana would gladly resign all claims to it if the
offer was accepted.
Several of the more orthodox rabbis opposed
the adoption Of the report and wished to have
q committee appointed to inspect the book
The chairman said that both parties, the urtho-
COX and the progressive elements, had been
represented in the committee, and he for one
thought that every prayer that was ritualistic
had been eXpunged. IL was finally decided TO
refer the book back to the committee and add
three more members to 1t. The chairman then
appointed RabbiS kohler, Kohut and Stern
The committee on credentials at the after
noon session urged resolution to appoint an
tials of applicants for the ministry. 1t was
said that there were many rabbis who were
persons unfit for the office, men who were
grocery keepers and butchers. 1t was also said
that a saloon keeper in this city was found to
be performing tue functions OF rabbi Dr.
Sparger said that in one instance he knew of an
unit person acting as rabbi, who married a
woman 10 two different men inside of q year.
