COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
New YORK, March 5th.-The Times this
morning, in an editorial ON the riot of yes
terday, saws: There is but one way of
dealing with outbreaks like that of yester-
day, and that is a prompt and vigorous
way. The arrogant and lawless methods
of labor organizations are becoming such a
threat to invested capital and settled busi-
ness that they are in danger of doing in
finite damage to all the industrial interests
of the country, and from that laboring men
will inevitably suffer the most When
they confine themselves to peaceful and
orderly methods they are capable OF doing
much good, as has been shown in several
recent instances in this CITY, But the mo-
ment they transcend the bounds of such
methods they become hostile to the very
cause TO which they profess to be devoted.
and enemies to society. 1t would be a
salutary lesson to them if every unlawful
act were at once visited with the severest
penalty. 1t is hoped that our authorities
will wake up to their responsibility and
have no more good-natured faltering with
riotous proceedings in the streets.

Fort WORTH (Texas), March 5th.-The
time given to the strikers of the Texas and
Pacific Road to return to work or suffer a
discharge expired at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. None of the men went back.
New forces are being organized in every
department here, and the places of nearly
all the strikers have been filed. The freight
offices were opened to-day, and are receiv-
ing all shipments except live stock. The
strikers are discouraged, and think the
movement has been badly handled
TRAINS RUNNING.
New YORK. March 5th-General Freigh,
Agent Finley, of the Texas. Pacific, tele-
graphed from Dallas, Texas, this morning

fered with the running of trains in any
way, and no trouble with trains is antici-
pated at this time.
The Mallory Company Boycott.
GALVESTON Tex March 5th-The an
ticipated labor difficulties here have under
gone no active development up to noon.
The representatives of the Missouri Pacific.
Southern Pacific. Texas Pacific, Texas Cen
trail and the officials of the Gulf. Colorado
and Santa Fe, were waited upon by a COM
mittee of the Knights of Labor, and noti-
fled not to take, handle or move freight
| consigned to or from the Mallory Company,
or freight for any of the wholesale houses
| of Galveston, as the latter had refused to
observe the boycott against the Mallory
Company. This notice takes effect after
| to-day. For this reason, it is the general
belief among large number of workmen
| that there will be strike this evening or
tomorrow morning. The cotton presses,
railroads and the business community gem
orally are greatly disguised with the
attitude and course pursued by the
Knights of Labor There is much
talk about the Inauguration of a
boycott against them similar to that
started by the reaper works of Springfield,
| o. great many large business houses
here express their willingness to close up
their shops rather than submit to the dicta-
| ton of the Knights. The situation in
north Texas, along the line of the Texas
Pacific Railroad, is not materially changed.
