ST. LOUIS. Feb. 2O.-The knights of
Labor of this city are preparing for another
move upon the street car companies, with
the object of obtaining better pay and
shorter working hours for the employees of
the lines. The weapon they will use this
time is the boycott, and it is expected that
by its use they will be more successful in
obtaining the concessions they desire from
the street railway companies than they
were last October. when they relied upon
general strike to accomplish their ends. 1t
has been learned from NJ. W. Sullivan,
master workman of District Assembly No.
Il, which includes the ST. Louis Knights of
Labor lodges, that this plan of action had
been agreed upon, and that it would be put
into operation very soon, with all the
Knights of St. Louis enlisted in its execu-
ton. One road is to be DOycOtted at time
and brought To terms il the boycott is sue
cessful. The executive committee of the
Knights has not yet decided when the boy

be set about the middle of March, and

opposed by Aid. Sanborn, who tried to bur
lesque it by Offering the following resolu-
ton.
Whereas, We recognize the fact that the
laborers of this city ought TO receive at least
$3.50 per day and s. per day for teams for
hrst-class labor in this city, but we also recog-
ME the fact that we stand in this body as
trustees Of the property-holders and tax-pay-
ers OF this city as well as the labOrers. and in
that capacity We believe we have no right TO
pay over more than the market price Of labor
from the funds Of the taxpayers: therefore,
Resolved. That the treasurer of the city
report monthly the wages paid to each labOrer
ana Tor each team in the employ Of the city;
ana we pledge ourselves during our terms as

Car DriEers.

Editor Of the Globe:
1t is strange that the people Of st. Paul
can so readily see the injustice of keeping
the street-car drivers in New York working
from sixteen TO twenty hours per day and
overlook the fact that things are i'm a
worse condition even in St Paul than
they are in New York. The car drivers Of
this city are suffering Inconvenience of an
offending nature and their case has been
taken in charge by the Trades assembly.
The Pioneer Press has again shown its dip
lOmatic tactics in treating this
case, and in ignoring the facts
that exist in their own city. while heaping
vindictives on the heads Of the New York
company. 1t is time that the people of ST.
Paul.were alive to the necessities Of the car
drivers here. and took some steps TO
properly regulate their hours of labor. 1t
is unjust to treat a beast as men are treated
by this company. G.. A. LAFAYETTE.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2O.-It isstated that the
Vulcan Iron works at Carondelet will again
shut down in a few days. The cause of the
suspension this time is due to the difficulty
of the works in obtaining coke, owing to the
general strike in progress in the coke regions
at Pittsburg and COnnellsville. Ithas been
learned from reliable sources that if an i'm
mediate understanding is not arrived at by
the miners and their employers, works
similar TO the Vulcan will be compelled to
shut down throughout this entire vicinity.

also intend to ask for similar commitment

against Punch is that it printed a cartoon
