THAT .oRDERn
Some Points ON the Situation Of the
Men When IL Was
Received

Editor Labor Enquirer.
CHICAGO. Dec. 1.-2421 State street,
Your last leader on our 5000 chief is
good as far as 1t goes. but you seem to
be in ignorance on some of the most
important points in this sad affair.
1t must not be forgotten that when
Powderly's telegram was received on
Wednesday there were then hanging
over the men the resolutions of the
packers demanding as condition of
their re- e-emploYment an unqualified re-
pudiation of their allegiance to the or
der. I question whether there is an
other chapter in the whole history of
the lalor movement where a lot of men
were placed in such a predicament.
On one side stood the resolutions of
the. packers, saying to the men, "You
can only return on condition that you
renounce your allegiance to the Knights
of Labor" On the other side stood
Powderly's saying to Barry, "If the men
refuse Ito return under these conditions J
take their charters from them"
have often heard of the colored
preachers sermon In which he ex-
claimed: "Bredern and sisters, der am
two roads in dissworld ; one leads to
hell and de udder to damnation 7" l
always had some doubts of the truthful
ness of the above sermon until my expe-
rience in the late stock wards strike.
Turn which way we may we we're threat
ENID with being placed outside of the
order. l could not believe that the
general master workmen would send
such an order had he known of the ex
istence of this resolution. I therefore
asked Brother Carlton-who arrived one
day after the telegram-whether
Brother Powderly knew of this. Carl
ton replied that he' did, as they were
both discussing it the night he (CAriton)
left Philadelphia. In summing up the
feelings of the strikers. it runs about as
follows:
First. 1t was criminally -eck less to
send a telegram of such importance open
instead ofin cipher.
Second. 1t was an insult to Barry,
who was on the field and should have
been consulted. 1t WAS treacherous to
Carlton, who had been sent here by the
general master workmen and then in
tercepted by this telegram before he
reached the city, thereby plainly adver-
tising to the world that Barry and Carl
ton were two chumps n whose judgment
he (Powderly) had no confidence.
Third If the telegran-which cost
about $2-was all that was necessary,
why was it not sent Immediately,
thereby saving the enormous expense in
volved in sending two members of the
board, besides sparing us all from the
humiliation and insults which we were
all subject to.
The large majority of the members
here are beginning to think that some
of our leading officers are looking upon
the order as their 'oyster," while the
rank and file are suckers" good enough
to pay initiation fees, dues and special
assessments. FraternallY,

general Pope, which viii take effect on the 9th
Of March, will cause two vacancies in this grade
of general officers. and promotions all along the
line. There is already considerable speculation
in regard to the principal vacancies. The gem
eral impression now is that Brigadier-general
Howard and Brigadier- general Terry, who are
first and second respectively in the line Of senior
ity, will be made major-generals, but the friends
of BrigaGier- generals Crook and Miles feel that
their chances for promotion are equally good.
The following officers are applicants for promo
ton to the grade of brigadier general: Colonies
Ruger, Eighteenth Infantry; Otis, Twentieth In
fantry; Merritt, Fifth Cavalry; Carlin, Fourth In
fantry; Hatch, Ninth Cavalry; Carr. Sixth Cav
airy; Bradley, Thirteenth Infantry; Broken.
Third Infantry; McCook. Sixth Infantry; Will
COX, Twelfth Infantry; Black, Twentythird In
fantry; Potter. Twenty fourth Infantry, and
Ayres, Second Artillery. Most of these applica-
tons were fled in anticipation of the retirement
OF Major-genera1 Pope, and before the death OF
General Hancock.
An Omaha dispatch says: General Howard said
General Schofeld now became the senior Major
general of the United States, and it would doubt
less be optional with him whether he would re-
main in Chicago or 60 to Governors Island and
take charge of the Eastern command d of the army
or go to San Francisco. 81 think I will be pro.
NOTED to fill the vacancy caused by the death OF
General Hancock, said General Howard, ''as /
am The senior general next in rank. It will de-
pend entirely on General Schofield which division
/ will be given to command. If he prefers to
remain in Chicago | win probably be given the
Eastern division. II General Schoield takes the
eastern division l will AXE his place. / am in
clined to think that General Hancock's successor
will be named at once"
TERRY will succeed General Pope in command
of the Pacific division?"
ut is hard to say about that. / would prefer
to go to San Francisco, but if I should succeed
General Hancock there would be no option in
the matter"
