The eastern Railroad.

The Directors of the Eastern Railroad
have prepared circular, which is directed
to the certificate holders of the company, and
is reply to the recent circular of the trus
tees of the mortgaged debt. The circular is,
quite lengthy and we have not space for it in
this issue. The circular closes with the fol-
lowing reference to an alleged attempt of the
Trustees to control the election of eficers of
the company:
''But the Eastern Railroad is not in the hands
of receivers. The Office of Trustee, until the ROAD
has defaulted, is merely a fiduciary one, ana
should be kept So 1t was never intended that
the Trustees should directly or indirectly manage
the affairs of the corporation, but that power Is
vested in the Board OF Directors by law, ana In
them alone. But when the Trustees select their
own Board of Directors, and take practical pos
session of the management of the corporation
through their own appointeeS, we see centraiizS-
ton OF power in the hands of three men when
bodies little good to those who own the stock or
bonds of the road We do not believe that the
holders of certificates will regard with compia-
cency the attempt of the Trustees to assume the
management of the corporation.

Jones, Francis /. Amory, Thomas W. Hyde, Chas
Houghton, Directors of the Eastern Railrpau

Knights of Labor.

The executive board of the Knights Of
Labor met Thursday with Messrs. Keene
Brothers of Lynn, Mass, and were in con-
sultation, it is stated, for two hours on the
labor troubles, but no decision was arrived
at. 1t is said that the firm made a sugges-
tion that the lasters at Skowhegan be
brought to Lynn and set to work in the Lynn
factory, but this the Lynn Knights refused
to listen to. 1t is stated that the necessary
papers for the application for boycott have
been made out to be forwarded to Grand
Master Workman Powderly, but have not
been sent yet. 1t is thought that an answer
could be obtained by next Tuesday, and the
board adjourned to that day. The joint
board of arbitration met Thursday afternoon
and discussed at great length the list of

The strike at Morgan & Dore's shoe fac
tories in Richmond, and in Lynn, Mass,
which has been in progress for more than
year and half, was settled Thursday night
in Richmond. This strike originated with
the lasters in the Richmond factory. When
the Lynn men heard of it they also quit
work, and since then the firm has carried on
no business in Lynn except that Of cutting.
1t has manufactured fine shoes in its factory
at Pittsfield, N. H., and at the Richmond
factory has supplied the places of the
strikers in measure with workmen who
had no connection with labor organizations:
The Executive Board, d. A. Sc, Knights Of
Labor" of Maine, and Mr.. E: L. DAILY Of
Lynn, who is Secretary of the New England
Lasters' Protective Union, visited Morgan &
Dore's factory in Richmond and were in con-
ference with Mr.. DOre from early in the
afternoon until between 10 and IL O'Clock
Thursday night 1t was finally agreed on
the part of both sides that the firm should
pay its workmen throughout the factory the
same wage list as is paid in Gardiner, which
for lasting is about 20 per cent less, it is
said, than that paid in Lynn, and all the
other departments to be graded in proper
ton. The firm agreed to discharge all men
not belonging to unions, who had been hired
in the places of the strikers. Mr.. Dore,s re-
quest that he might transfer his business
from his factory in Pittsfeld to the Lynn
factory, which is now idle, was agreed to,
