SERIOUS ToUBLE IN TEXAS.
Galveston, Texas, March PA News
special from Texas. says: At a "mass
meeting OF citizens last Thursday night,
many Knights of Labor were present
and the local executive committee pub
licly expressed their intention Of help
ing the citizens in carrying out and pro-
tecting the railroad property in order
to test their professions.
The county officers with a number of
leading citizens visited the round house
of the Iron Mountain road yesterday,
and got out an engine. The sheriff and
posse boarded the locomotive, as did q
knight. they soon had steam mp and
were about to run the engine out OF the
yard when a mob of about 400 strikers
confronted them, caught the switchmen
and officer on guard by their necks and
threw them aside, and then switched the
engine on o side track.
This outrage has resulted in the with
drawal Of all confidence from the
knights as it was directly contrary to the
professions of good will made by the
local committee. The citizens have re-
solved to obtain state aid. Sheriff
Hamilton telegraphed to Governor
Hughes asking for militia, and has heen
authorized to cal! out the Gate city
guards OF this city. The guards have
boon notified to hold themselves in
readiness TO respond ct short notice.
Many of the better class of knights
deprecate the course being pursued, and
there is no doubt that many Withdrawals
from the organization will take place,
The citizens are on the alert, and any
further acts of violenes will be resisted
by force.
