ASKING AID FOR THE WESTERN STRIKES In
THEIR GREAT STRUGGLE WITH MONOPOLY.
General Master Workman Powderly yester.
day issued a circular To all members OF tho
knights OF Labor, calling attention TO the strike
on the Gould southwestern railway system, and
recounting the futile efforts OF the general ex-
ecutve board OF the order to settle it on hon.
orable terms with Jay Gould and Mr.. Hoxie.
The latter is charged with positively refusing
to treat with or employ knights, whether they
had been active in the strike not. Mr.. Pow
derby then continues " Ii now becomes the part
OF every man and woman i'm the order to take up
the hight OF the men OF the southwest, and assist
them to the full extent OF their means. They
have been idle for nearly two months. They
have had a most trying ordeal TO go through,
ana are in need of funds. . Remember.
the men out there do not ask for charity-Ihey
do not ask at all. 1t your executive board that
makes the appeal in their behalf. He who gives
quickly, gives doubly. Act at once. .
DO not pass resolutions condemning capital,
for We are not frightening capital. DO not am
tagoniZe the contest We have before us. Let US
make "A friend OF every man who has suffered
through monopoly. This battle against the
man who represents monopoly must be fought
out manfully. Watch his actions everywhere.
Keep an eye on the doings OF Congress. Urge
the committee that has been appointed to do
its duty fearlessly; strengthen their hands; give
them aid. DO not delay, and, at the
same time, make ready TO bring the whole
power OF the order to bear upon the man who
wrecks railroads. homes, fortunes and lives In
his greed for gold. Let US determine To have IL
go into history that the men of 1856 struck as
grand blow for liberty as the men of 1870.
The men OF 11s6 broke the power OF monarchy
and dethroned the king. The power which
they wrested from the hands OF king was not
SO great as that which Is now held 10y one man.
who, through the corrupt use OF money, has
brought anufacturer and workmen TO ruin.
The power of king has passed away. The

whether illegitimate wealth shall rule"

ATTACKED BY SUPPOSED STRIKERS,
HANNIBAL, Mo-, April 16.-Last night un-
known persons, supposed to be strikers or their
sympathizers, attacked three of the new EN-.
ployes Of the Missouri Pacific railway on the
corner of Main and Broadway. One escaped
without injuries, but the other two, named
Shears and Abbott were badly beaten. So far
as can be ascertained there was no reason for
their attacking them other than that they had
filled the places of the strikers. No arrests
have been made.
