Contest That IL Sure to Come.

1.-THE printers and Knights of Labor will come
| to war in spite of every thing" said the foreman
of the composing of one of the leading
dailies of this city, yesterday; 'and I'll tell you
WHY. The Knights Of Labor are admitting to
their order workmen who are rats in the print
| ing trade, and tho union men will not stand that
sort of thing. You can understand. being a
newspaper man, how we feel when, after laying
down our rules and protecting our interests as
skilled laborers as much as possible the larger
order extends the helping hand to the men who
have never learned their trades, and support
them in working against us, who arc bona flde
skilled laborers"
swell, do you not think that these men need
protection as we'll as those who have been so
lucky TO be able TO spend four or five years in
learning their trade?
THAT is hard question to answer. How
ever, can only call to mind the history of the
newspapers of the country. There is not paper
in the United States-at least in the West
which, after discarding the union system. has
prospered The printers have secured for them
selves exactly the rights which the Knights de-
sire to secure for all workmen. Therefore, it is
hard for them to give up their organization, be-
| cause 1T insures them a proper recompense for
their work. There several trades that are
in the same fix"
How do You think this little difficulty ought
to end2"
Il have nothing to say" was the answer, 'for
do not desire to be quoted in this matter. But
| will say that the Knights Of Labor will have a
hard time in downing the printers. and / do not
believe they will ever do ii. My idea is that
after awhile the printers will see the desrability
of joining the Knights At the same time the
latter will see the desirability of forming such
coalition, and will make concessions which are
absolutely necessary"
what is the nature of these concessons?"
was asked.
''It is this Each trade has its own rules, based
on technical knowledge, and general order can
not understand nor control them. What we ask
is that we and every other trade be allowed to
make and govern the rules for themselves, and
that we must have. there will be a fight. 1t
is like the United States government exactly.
Each State must retain the right to make laws
for its internal government, and that is what we
are fighting for. That is ALL"

PITTsBURG. Pa, Nov. 25.-The convention of
workers of the Miners Association at Scott
dale to-day resolved to insist on -rhe~ demands
made some time ago. and to invite the Knights
of Labor to elect Delegates to joint convention
to be held on date to be fixed by the master
workman of the latter organization. 1t was also
decided to allow the operators until Dec. 25 to
consider their demands. Seven assemblies of
the Knights of Labor met at Everson tonight
and resolved to leave the matter of striking with
the executive board. The proposition for a
joint meeting was acceptable to the Knights Of
Labor.

Last week was one of the worst
times ever known in this part of the
country. The wind blew from the
northwest and brought tons of snow
and ice from the famous north pole
regions and piled it up in great
heaps until some of the peaks resem-
bled those of the Rocky mountains,
and the honest tiller of the soil had
to take up the shovel and make

his house and stock out of the drift.
There was a considerable loss to

THE Court House Opera Hall is
closed. Its boards that haye resound-
ed, now merrily and now sadly, to
the comedy and the drama, are laying
listless and alone. The provisions
of the contract between the Board
and the late lessee specified that the
hall should not be sub-let. In this
the said late lessee had evidently
wandered from the covenant, and in
its undisputed wisdom the Board saw
in its line of duty the only alterna-
tive of annuling the contract and
closing the house to the public. 9th
er parties are negotiating with good
prospects for the lease. 1t is to be
regretted that so good an auditorium
should remain idle, and to be hoped
that it may be so leased as to SUBJ
serve the pleasure and benefit of the
public.
