From tie RelD York WOrt0.
SCRANTON, PA, April 16.-General
Master Workman Powderly had just I'm
ished packing his yalise last night pre-
pairing 70 board a late train for Chicago
when he received a telegram requiring
his presence here to-day. He has now
postponed his Chicago trip indefinitely.
The matters requiring mis- attention there
will nave to wait. There is some talk
now OF a general conference to be held
here between the leaders OF the knights
Of Labor. Mr.. Griffith, Of Chicago, the
General Worthy Foreman and next in au-
thority to Powderly, Will arrive in Scran-
ton mOrr night al 80 O'Clock on his
way TO Philadelphia. 1t is believed that
be will spend Sunday in Scranton and
that General Secretary Turner will Join
him here.
Mr., POwderly glanced over the steno-
graphic report OF his recent conference
with Gould, and said: cit appears to be
very accurate. | did not know at the
time that our conversation was to be pub
lished or might have omitted one or two
personal illusions made to outside par
ties, but there is nothing in the cOnversa-
tiOns printed that puts Mr.. Gould in any
better light. He still stands convicted Of
double dealing, and falling to keep his
agreement; that after all, is the main
point, as | have stated before"
''Do you think now, Mr.. POwderly, that
there Is any Immediate prospect of SET
thing the strike in the Southwest" asked
the correspondent.
II do not know what the business men
OF st. Louis may accomplish, but | might
be able 10 give a better opinion II l knew
more about the manipulations Of stocks.

really say much about it, but j will say
this" he added, "if MT. Gould is not max
ing any more money out of the Missouri
Pacific than be claims we will gladly
take the road of his hands,"
"You mean that the Knights Of Labor
would purchase the road?"
"Precisely. We can do it, and / am
confident that we could run the road to
the satisfaction of the public and make
money without having any strikes. The
fact is, railroad men as a class are the
easiest men TO get along with in the
world. They are steady, hard. working

Raking Powder TramDs.

The danger to the public health from the
indiscriminate use Of the many lime and
alum baking powders OF commerce has
been so fully exposed that everybody de-
sires to avoid them. AS ''forewarned is
forearmed, % housekeepers will thank US for
apprising them of the special efforts at
present being made to dispose OF such pow
ders in this vicinity.
The proprietors OF some OF the worst OF
these powders are now going from house to
house trying by means OF q trick, or So
called test with heat and water, to show
that their article is as good as the Royal
Baking Powder, making the comparison
with this brand because everybody recog-
nizes it to be absolutely pure and whole
some, the object, OF course, Icing to supply
their own goods in place OF the Royal,
which housekeepersh have for SO many years
relied upon to puff up the morning biscuit,
and to make the lisht, palatable and
wholesome roll, cake and pastry for which
it is famous.
The housekeeper will do we'll to be on her
guard against these baking powder tramps.
Every intelligent person knows that goods
peddled from house to house in this man
ner, or that are given away in samples, or
sought to be introduced by secretly ira
ducing the character OF other goods known
| to be pure and reliable, have no merits OF
their own, and have failed to find pur-
chaeers through legitimate means.
We are informed, as a matter OF fact,
that one OF these tramps has been trying
to introduce powder that has been found
by the Government chemist to be 1l.S5
per cent lime, while the other peddles a
powder that is 20 per cent. aitm-one q
powerful caustic, the other a corrosive
poison.
No such tricks or jugglery will be apt to
