Trades Unions and the knights of Labor.
| PHILADELPHIA, May 1Sth-The officers
| of twenty National Trades Unions met here
| with closed doors this afternoon, to take
| united action 1t was stated, to resist the
encroachments being made upon the
| Unions by the knights of Labor. Thirty
| two associations were represented by dele
| gates or letters, and claim to have a total
membership of 367, 763. The representa-
| tive of each organization presented his
grievance. AT the close ot the evening ses-
tei,,
| the Secretary stated that resolutions had
been adopted declaring that, in view of the
success that attended the efforts of the Ma
uonal and International Unions in the
past they should strictly preserve their
distinct and individual autonomy that it
is not deemed advisable for any Trades
| Union to be controlled by or to ioin the
Knights of Labor in body, believing that
Trades Union are best qualified to regulate
| their own internal trade affairs. The reso-
lutions further declare that it is the pur-
pose OF a certain element of ;he Knights OF
Labor to destroy the Trades Union, and
this element makes it a point to encroach on
the mission and prerogatives OF the Trades
/ Union, arouslng antagonism and provok-
| ing dissensions in the labor movement. to
! the delight and satisfaction of the capitalists
| The conference, however, concluded that
some concerted plan of action was abso-
| lutely necessary to prevent a continuance
of this destructive policy, and to establish
harmonious and fraternal relations between
all the various branches of organized Ia
Dor, and set OF terms was drafted with
this object in view, to be presented as a
treaty for the consideration of the knights
of Labor, which will meet next Tuesday at
Cleveland. The nature of the terms was
not disclosed. They will be submitted to
the General Executive Board of the Knights
of Labor on Monday by a committee
Nebraska's Senator.
New YORK, May lSth.-The Tribune $
Washington correspondent says: 1T is
scarcely necessary to say that the United
States Senator TO be elected in Nebraska
next year will be Republican, but who
that Republican will be remains to be seen.
Van Wyck's chances of reelection are not
considered good, although he may be
chosen to succeed himself in spite of the
opposition now organizing against him.
Political contests are uncertain in Ne
braska. In a State where the parties are
so urevenly divided, where the Republi-
can majority is overwhelming and the
Democrats are in a hopeless minority,
there is apt to spring up quarrels in the
ranks of both parties which are harm
less enough while the unequal division
of the vote lasts. but which might
lead to serious trouble should the balance
| of power became more uncertain than ii is
at present. Van Wyck represents the anti
monopoly, anti-corporation and anti-raii-
road element. In the Senate the words
railroad corporation have the same effect
on him that red flag has on bull. His
speeches i'll the Senate on this question are
not wanting i'll force, but they SAVIOR, his
enemies say, too much of the demagogue.
This, at any rate, is the opinion of people
who differ from him in their views on the
subject of railroad legislation. Neverthe-
less, Van Wyck is said to have made his
peace with the Union Pacific and at all
events in the recent visits to Nebraska, and
especially at the meeting of the Omaha
Board OF Trade, the views expressed by
him on the railroad question are said TO
have been greatly less radical and more
reasonable than they usually are
