To the General Executive Committee OF
the Board of knights of Labor: The tes-
timony taken to-day by the Congressional
Investigating Committee shows conclu'

cial, agricultural and other interests OF
the country have resulted from the late
troubles upon the lines Of the railways
belonging to the Southwestern system and
other railroads in the States of Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Texas,
and that by reason of said troubles a large
number of persons not directly connected
therewith have been thrown out OF en-
ployment. Unwilling at this time to ex'
press our opinions in regard to the causes
which produced this lamentable condition
of affairs or to indicate where the blame
lies for its continuance, and animated
solely by q desire to render all the assist
ance in our power, in endeavoring to re-
store peace. individual happiness and com
mercial prosperity to the citizens OF thu
country, and particularly Of the five
States named, we do hereby respectfully
but earnestly request you as American citi
zens, having the welfare of our common
country at heart, to advise through th'
proper official channels q discontlnuanct
of the strike upon the railways here anC
before mentioned, and to leave the ques
ton whether the employees or officers o.
the corporation we're justi6able in the de
cision that public opinion may form, wber
the Congressional Committee, which hai
that matter under investigation, shall have
| completed its work. Feeling assured tina
| q compliance with the request will meet
the favor OF your board, and those who
may act in conformity with your counse
and the appreciation of the people OF thu
| United States, we are, your obedien'
servants, (signed:) A. G. Curtin. W. ii
Crane, James II. Cultivate, A.. x. Par
| ker, James Buchanan, J. W. Stewart.

LATER Martin Irons, by whom the

ticipated the method of ending the trouble
would have upon the Knights of Labor
said: eve were fighting for recognition,
| and we got it from Congress, which rep.
| resents all tho citizens Of the United
States. Is not that complete enough recog'
milton? Our order will grow after this
even more rapidly than 1t has during the
| past few weeks, when applications have
| been 80 numerous for charters that we
could scarcely find time to consider them. -
In addition to the circular issued last
