POWDBRLY ON THE BOYCOTT
The Grand Master Workman Asks
Some Pertinent Questions.

lowing letter
The press has condemned the boy
cott as practised by the workingman.

Let me state case rs it occurred
during the early part of this year. a
manufacturer, employing hundreds of
men, learns that the men have OrganiZ-

bor He at once discharges every man
of them. The men did not ask for
shorter hours, more pay or change of
any kind. A committee waited upon
the manufacturer to ascertain his rea-
sons for the discharge of his employees.
His answer was They have joined
the Knights of Labor, and | will not
employ member of that society. |

The men have been turned out on the
street for exercising their rights under
the laws which allow them To ''purSue
happiness in their own way. They
have been boycotted their places have
been filled hy imported men. Will you
give me your opinion, editorillly, OF
such action rs that
Would you advise the men to sever

them to give up their religion should

son is merchant, and is handling the
goods manufactured by the man who
discharged his fellow member, would
he be justified in refusing to handle
these goods until the manufacturer
made amends by re-employing the

GEORGE r. JENKs, who resigned
his position as Assistant Secretary OF
the Interior states in his letter of res
ignation that "other imperative du-
ties" compel him to give up his Gov
ernment position. An article in the
Harrisburg Patriot of the 18th, throws
some light upon the immediate eau Sc
of his resignation. The will of the
late John E. Dubois, the founder of
the village of the same name, in
Clearfeld county, is being contested
by the niece of deceased, Mrs. Thos.
s. Flood of Elmira, N. Y. The article
goes on to say that prior to 1874 Mr..
Dubois frequently besought Thomas
S. Flood to remove to Dubois and to
manage the estate with view to re
alizing on the various parcels of the
property, that he, the owner, then i'll
and not expecting long to survive,
might be better able to distribute it
among the various heirs. Mr.. Flood
made frequent visits to Mr.. Dubois,
and in 1874 went to Dubois and re-
mained four years as the manager of
the property, returning to Elmira to
manage his own affairs. Mr.. Flo cd
again after being importuned by Mr..
Dubois, last fall, took charge of the
old gentleman's property. Mr.. Flood
has in his possession letters bearing
date January, February, March, April,
May, June and July, 1884, all of
which urge him to come to Dubois
and take charge of the old mans
property, reference being made to
real estate, as well as other property.
Now it is held that if John Dubois
estate was decided to John E. Dubois
on January II, 1884, the old man
had no right to negotiate with and
actually employ Mr.. Flood to look af-
ter this property, with such promis
es as he had made, and that letters in
John Dubois peculiar handwriting
show that he was at different dates of
writing the owner of the property.
The Assistant Secretary of the In
terror, George r. jerks, counsel for
John Dubois, resigned his Govern
ment position to assist in the man.
