NO SYMPATHY IN NEW YORK.
New YORK. Nov. 10.-The wholesale
butchers and the agents Of Chicago packers
here say that a few stray carloads of cattle
may be slaughtered in the east for the Chi
cago slaughter houses, but that the butch
ers here are Knights of Labor. and that any
attempt to slaughter regular consignments
of cattle from the Chicago houses would
result in a general strike here. In addition
to this, the interests of the whOlesa lie

THE STRIKE IN NEW YORK STATE.
New YORK, Nov. 10.-While great prom
inence has been given throughout the coun-
try to the labor troubles in Chicago, COM
paratively little attention has been paid by
the public at large to struggle now going
on in this state, which involves as many
people, as much capital, and a principle of
vital Importance. This is the contest pro-
crossing between the knit goods manpfac-
turers and the Knights of Labor, which has
as an organization. Although the more
conspicuous facts in them havebeen noted
from time to time, but few persons have a
clear idea of the nature of the controversy
and realize that nearly 10000 persons were
employed in the knit goods mills through
out New York state, which the owners
have closed against all Knights of Labor.

now existing in the knit goods district.
Messrs. Bailey and Mcguire offered the fol-
lowing as the only basis on which they
would settle on behalf of the Knights of
Labor: "That all the former employees be
reinstated in their former places and that
the people who have taken their places be
suspended until they have made settle
of it's laws and rules The proposition was
rejected and the following was submitted
by the knit goods people as basis
upon which the manufacturers would
open their mills to the Knights of
Labor: upon the right to en-
discharge whom we think best as our en-
ployes, and that we deem proper as en-
ployes those who remained in our employ
in the time of the lockout and strike and
those whom we have employed since that
time" The above was in turn rejected by
Messrs. Bailey and Mcclure, who withdrew
from the conference with the statement
which the executive committee of the Knit
Goods association, after full consideration.
adopted the following: "The mills will be
open to all persons, whether they have
been previously in our employ or not, on
the basis of an agreement by those whom
they may employ that they will acknowl-
edge and respect the right of the employer
to hire and discharge as he deems best, and
not interfere with other employees. includ-
