CATHOLICS AND KNIGHTS.
Vicar General Conway, OF Chicago,
Speaks.

Referring to the report Archbishop Tasche-
reau, of Montreal, had issued mandament
forbidding Catholics to become knights OF
Labor, as being one of the dangerous societies
condemned with Free Masonry Vicar General
Conway, OF Chicago, speaking for Archbishop
Feehan, said: The Knights Of Labor is not
one Of the societies condemned by the church.
1t is not to be placed in the same category with
Free Masonry and similar secret societies.
There is wide difference between their pur-
pose as well as influence upon the religious
life Of individual members. The Knights OF
Labor is composed Of laborlng men having no
object other than to receive Just compensa ion
for thti, laLor. II there HIS EN- bloodsned in
any place accompanying existing strikes 1t has
rather been caused by the starvation wages
given by the monopolies than by the malice or
ill-will OF the workingmen. The Knights Of
Labor, as a society, do not believe RESPONSE
BILE for this shedding of blood. The working.
man has right to receive just compensation
for his labor. Wives and children of employer
live sumptuously and dress finely while the
laborer's family barely has necessary food TO
keep away actual want am perfectly willing
to publish my views of this question so far as
they relate to better pay for the working an,
and because the society has but this one object
and does not interfere with the religious be-
lief of its members nor assume the position of
religious teaching. The church has not and
does not forbid Catholics from joining Il,
Archbishop Lynch, OF TOr,n.o, ale peru
sing Archbishop Taschereau's man lament
on the Knights of Labor sal that as far as
Ontario was con erned the church did not an
tagonlze the Knights Their amended constl-
tuition is under consideration by the Holy See.
While waiting the decision Of the Pope the
church in Ontario does not order any Catholic
Knights of Labor to resign from their order,
but simply forbids any Catholic to become .

souri, river would stand together, MS tho
congressman from the states bordering on
the Mississippi do, instead OF 100000
being appropriated for the Missouri from
its mouth to Fort Benton, distance OF

amount that there is only one way that
rates OF transportation for the farmers in
the Missouri river valley can be reduced to
tho minimum, and that is TO make tho
Missouri river navigable for barges. II will
DO the great regulator OF freight rates, sure
and certain. In the near future this will be
done. He said: 81 shall vote for tho river
and harbor bill. would rather take
SG1O 900 for the river than nothing. yet
regret that the amount Is not double that
sum. In my efforts to secure an increase
was trying to carry out the wishes Of tho
river and hnrbor convention, held "a Kan.

had made his estimates $4,000, 900 we
