LOCKED-OUT KNIGHTS
POWDRRLY CALLS ON THE ORDER TO AS
SIST THEN.


PHILADELPHIA, December 1.-General
Master Workmen Powderly, in his circular
to the Knights of Labor which was made
public here to-day says: ''The order Of the
Knights of Labor has reached the most
critical period in its history. 1t stands as
a power for good or for evil. But your
general officers, while they have no special
claim to superiority in purity of motive
have sworn that the order shall be made a
power for right and right only; that the
laws shall be rigidly enforced
and the members shall re-
ceive the fullest protection of their
rights under the laws Of our country and
our order. Without any provocation, ex-
cept the exercise of the inherent right of
every free man to belong to belong to any
organization he pleases, not in conflict with
the laws of the country, thousands of our
members, men and women, without
warning have been thrown out of employ
ment. They have gone to the door of the
mill and factory and to the mouth of the
mine, where but yesterday they were en-
ployed, only to find staring them in the
face this unchristian and unmerciful an-
nouncement: 'YOu cannot return to work
here until you sign contract to leave the
Knights of Labor, and that you will never
become member Of that or any other la
Dor organization
1.-TWO alternatives present themselves
unconditional surrender or manly defense.
Which shall it be? The lOcked-Out men,
bers in their enforced idlenesS turn from
suffering wives and starving children in
pathetic appeal to your General Executive
Board to give them all the assistance in
its power. Having all these circumstances
in mind, and deeply moved by sympathy
for those suffering members and those de-
pendent upon them, your General Execu-
tive Board has unanimously resolved to
levy an assessment of % cents per mem
Der upon all the local assemblies of the
order, the same to be paid under
the following regulations: All local assem-
blies that respond to the appeal mentioned
above will be credited on this assessment
with the amount donated. All local as
semblies which can are requested to remit
the full amount Of the assessment not later
than December 20, 1886. The assessment
in this case will be % cents for each men,
Der, as shown by the reports to the General
Secretary Treasurer for the quarter ending
October l, 1886.
"You know for what purpose we require
the money. All we ask is that before pay
ing it each member put himself in the
place of the one locked out, remembering
that He gives twice who gives quickly, ,
and act upon the golden rule, DO unto
others as you would have them do unto
you.'"

CLEVELAND, OHIO, December IA
special from Youngstown, Ohio, says: In

recently demanded and advance Of 10 cents
per ton, the present basis being so cents.
The operators after considering the matter
refused to aecede to the demand, claiming
they could not afford to pay it and keep
their mines in operation, though admitting
that the wages earned by the men were
very low. To-day the miners in the en-
ploy of the Witch Hazel Company

The Cartright Case

Special T;lSgrGm TO khS Register:
FAIRMONT, December 1.-The case OF
State against Cartright, known as the
Baker murderer, came on for trial to-day,
The prosecution is being conducted by
Capt. b. B. DOyenOr, assisted by Hon.
j. w. Mason, Prosecuting Attorney, and
Meredith and Monroe HopwoOd.
The defense is represented by Judge
Raymond, Hon. JAS Morrow, U. n. Ar
nett, Jr., Thos H. B. Staggers, and. Howard
n. Ogden. The following jury was EN-
panelled: Andrew s. Ice, J. Frank Mar
tin, Reason Ammons, Thomas Giblin,
Robert Toothman, Henry w. Stevens,
John C. Gallahue, William Ridgeway, j.
n. Brock, Thomas Reed, Edgar Rice, n.
G.. Randall.
1t is believed that the trial will last at
least two weeks, and probably much long
er, rs the witnesses are numerous and some
of them not likely want to tell any more
of what they know can possibly be helped.
Public opinion is somewhat divided about
the matter. The case will merit and re-
eeiye much attention as it proceeds.

WHERE ONE VOTE COUNTS.
Lively Contest Over Seat In the New
Jersey Assembly.


Jersey Assembly.
TRENTON, N. j., December There
are times when single vote has consider
able value.
In election times the careless voter is
frequently reminded that one vote elected
Marcus Morton Governor of Massachu-
sets.
The vote of New York Alderman in
1884 was worth large figure to projectors
of street railroads.
The price of avote in the New Jersey
Legislature may be the value to somebody
of seat in the United States Senate. Re-
publican politicians are very much per-
turbed over the situation of affairs. The
State Committee met in this city to-day
and held protracted conference. Senator
Sewell and Speaker Armstrong were pres
ent and related how alleged frauds had
been perpetrated by the Democrats in the
Third Assembly district of Camden county,
whereby Haines, Republican, was counted
out on Friday last As had been declared
elected by the County Board Of Canyassers
by AZ plurality. The recount gave his
opponent, Turley, Democrat, IA plural
ity.
1t is charged that the ballot boxes in
two townships were tampered with after
the election and Turley's name was writ
ten over that of Haines, the latter having
been scratched. This, it is alleged, gave
the former an apparent plurality. Justice
Parker gave Turley the certificate Of cleo
ton, which will seat him when the Legisla-
ture meets.
The Republican committee decided to
offer reward of 81 900 for the arrest and
conviction of the instigators and perpetra-
tors of the alleged fraud. They have en-
ployed counsel to begin an investigation,
and testimony will at once be taken to es-
tablish the charges. The seat will be con-
tested both in the Legislature and in the
Courts State Comptroller Anderson pro-
nounces it a blundering, barefaccd fraud,
and Speaker Armstrong says he knows who
committed 1t. Arrests will soon follow.
10 is reported that if Democrat is
elected to the United States Senate his
seat will be contested. The Democrats
simply laugh at what they call the silly
vaporings of the Republicans, and say if
fraud was committed it was by the Repub-
licans.

He did not fear that the Church would

A movement was imperative to establish a

INDEPENDENT GLASSBLOWERS.
Green-glass Blowers Who VIII Not Obey
the Order TO Strike.

the Order To Strike.
PHILADELPHIA, December IA new
and startling feature has entered into the
controversy between the green-glass manu-
facturers and the blowers over the aboli-
tion of the apprentice system. On Monday
night meetings of the local assemblies of
glass blowers were held in Clayton, Mill
vile, Salem, Woodbury., WilliamstOwn
and Glassboro, n. j., when it was decided
that they would not strike as ordered by
the Executive Board of District Assembly
Nor 149, bnt would surrender up their
charters rather than do so. These blowers
are working with apprentices and under a
reduction in wages of per cent, according
to agreement entered into with the manu-
facturers some weeks ago. The respective
charters of the six assemblies were sent to
the General Secretary, Charles II. Litch-
man, at the general headquarters, yester-
day.
1t is stated that these assemblies pur-
pose forming new association, and in
future they say that they will not allow
any one to work in jersey factory who
has violated agreements made at the COM
promise settlement last month with the
employers. On the other hand, the officers
of the District Assembly 149 declare that
these blowers, numbering between 500 and
600, will be ostracised and black-listed by
all members of the League in good stand
ing and will not be allowed to work out
side the limits of their towns.
The Jersey blowers take the position
that nobody can deny the rightof any man
or set Of men to work under agreem ent
satisfactory to themselves and their en-
ployerS.
William Brookfield, of Brooklyn, N. Y,
has notified his men that if they are not
