LARoR TROUBLES.
Decision Of the General Executive
Board, Knights of Labor.

SKowHEGAN, July 90. = In accordance
with instructions received yesterday, Super
intendent Stafford of the Skowhegan shoe
factory, this morning suspended for three
months about 70 cutters and lasters. This
suspension is to carry out the order of the
executive board of the Knights of Labor to
make room for union men who have been out.
The following is the order received yester
day:
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 20, 1886.
To aUIaOn1 1t mag concern:
In pursuance of an agreement entered into by
Keene Brothers, Richard Nagle District Master
Master workman Of Assembly Sc, and c. H.
Leach and Edward S. Daley OF the Lynn Protec-
tive Union, to leave the settlement OF the diff
cuties existing between laborers and keene
Brothers to the general executive board OF the
Knights of Labor and abide by their decision,
therefore, after carefully considering the evidence
submitted by all parties to the controversy, and
being desirous OF restoring peace, harmony ana
justice to all concerned, we respectfully render
the following decision:
That inasmuch as a certain agreement made
on April 7, 1886, between Keene Bros. and Off
GERS Of District Assembly SO, evidently has not
been lived up to, it is null and void. 1t is also
evident to our minds, upon examination OF the
evidence taken, that the discharge of the thirty
nine lasters resulted from the fact that the i'm
preston prevailed in the town of Skowhegan that
it was not desirable to retain Knights of Labor in
the Keene Brothers employ in the SkoWnegan
factory. ulScildIBo Wdo III GU 'io.aolVH
of the rights guaranteed to American citizens.
To restore to these discharged men their rights,
of which they have been deprived, we order their
immediate reinstatement in their former places,
and the suspension, for the space OF the three
months, all who have oeen employed as cutters
and lasters in the Skowhegan factory of the Keene
Brothers. And we also order that the discharged
men in Lynn, Mass, be allowed to resume their
former places without prejudice. We further de-
eide that of the men restored in either the
Skowhegan or Lynn factories shall be discharged
to make room for those suspended in accordance
with the decision. Nothing, however, in this de-
cision shall prevent the. suspended men from
has expired, provided the firm of Keene Brothers
require additional help at that time. The firm IS
at liberty to employ cutters in the Skowhegan
factory, providing the cutters of their Lynn fac
tory have the preference.
BY order of the General Executive Board.

In the House to-day Mr.. Hatch of Mis-

to the Clerks desk and had read an extract
from speech made in the Senate yesterday
by Senator ingalls,, rejecting on him as be-
