 The Omaha Progress is devoted to the i'm terests of labor. In it's last number the Progress contained & double leaded leader the labor organizations and the dangers that be- | set them. It declares that the communists | are the dangerous men in the organizations; l and that the Knights of Labor stand between | them, the peaceable citizens, and law and order, as solid wall. The Progress declares l that dynamiting communists want only an opportunity to destroy property and to over turn the government and the laws. But the
 Knights of Labor oppose all this, and demand that the laws shall be respected, that vlo-
 lenee shall be suppressed, strikes and boy cotting avoided, except in cases of great | wrong or oppression. The Progress declares
 that unless the Knights of Labor are sus- l tained, the dynamite communists will get 1 the control of labor organizations, and then
 chaos will reign for time. It says the enc
 mics of law and protection to society would l be defeated in the end, but not until many lives were lost and much property destroy.
