Another Strike.

ST. LOUIS, April 22.-Another step in tho
aggressive warfare of the striking knights
of Labor upon tho Missouri Pacific railroad
was taken this morning at 10 o'clock, when
the five hundred employees of The Missouri
Car and Foundry Company stopped work,
and joined the strike in obedience to an
order of District Assembly No. II. This
move had been contemplated ever since the
Knigh!s found that the company were sup.
plying repair material for the Missouri
Pacific aud Iron Mountain shops, where it
is claimed by the strikers, the new men are
not sufficiently skilled to make their ma
terial. A committee from the Knights called
upon the vice president Of the company,
and informed him that unless they ceased
furnishing repair material to the Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mountain Companies their
men would be be ordered out. The vice
president replied that these two companies
were among the best customers, and that
they would continue rs long as they were
able to bill all Of their orders. The com.

tons from the United States Court to re-.
strain levy. In cases where the tax was
less than $500 the parties have simply de-

them for damages if they did levy. ia this

malcously, while his back was turned.

The STRIKE on the surface street roads IN
New York city in which roads Mr.Jay Gould
is largely interested, has greatly increased
the profits of the elevated roads in that city,
in which he is even more interested. The
strikes on the railroads in the West also
enable Mr.. Gould to profit immensely by
the manipulation of stocks. But, for the life
of him, no striker, either on the street roads
or the railroads, can tell how ne can make
up for the loss of wages he has suffered by
the strikes; and he may rest assured that
while he may think it line sport to be idllng
about the streets, interfering with 9TH
or people, it is more than those de-
pending upon his labor for support do. 1t
is apparent that with all their gettings the
strikers never get, aud. worse still, never
strive to get, understanding.

ALEX ANDRlA.
THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL %.

THE BOYCOTT in this country was inau-
purated in New England, where all the ne"
tangled ideas either originate or are hrs'
sdopted, but it is as unsuccessful there as IL
has proved to be farther South. Areputapie
grocer in Lynn was notified some time ago oy
the knights of labor there that he must close
bis store at half past six o'clock, and tnae
thew "meant business" The only attention
bs Maid to them was to publish notice IN
tba newsnapers, in which he said: u shall
keen open my store in the future as am
keepins it open now, and when the last 1ree-
horn citizen is coerced 80 that ne dares not
enter. I will close my shop, sell my depre-
c;ated real estate, leave this enslaved city,
and seek a place where can once again
breathe the air of freedom" The boycott
still continues, but the grocer, in reply to a
letter from one of the numerous new friends
be has made by it, says: my store being IN
a neighborhood where the people are most
lv Irish, they did leave me when the Doy-
colt was imposed. But the folks are all
taking hold, and now l am having more
trade than ever" The sympathy of every
right thinking man, foreign or native born
in free country, who belieyesin free instltu
lions, and is man enough to stand up for bis
own rights, and consequently must respect
the rights of others, goes cut to the Lynn
grocer and every one OF them is glad that the
effort to break him up because he chooses TO
conduct his own private business in his own
way, 50 far from injuring, has brought to
him scores of new friends, and has rebound
ed greatly to his profit. Mr. Po"deriy
showed his wisdom when he advised the
knights to give boycotts wide berth.
