PowpEHlN AN ISSUE.
Mr.. Iowderiy's celebrated letter, which
The GAzRrTE was the first paper In the
country TO discover, has created des
clded sensation among the Knights OF
labor. It ia printed iu full in this issue,
and VIII DO found well worthy the re u
sal of all who are interested, directly or
iudir city, IN the present labor troubles.
The knights, TO whomit WAS read In their
various local assemblies Thursday night,
have been seriously agitaied over It's con-.
tents, and discussed Dut little else yester-
day noticeable result already Is thai
the conservative element OF the order Il
coming TO the top, and the iablds have
materially modified their utterances.
The local lodge Of Is IN this city by
unanimous vote Thursday night Endorsed
Mr., Powderly's position ami the local
assemblies Of lQI took some action ON the
subject last Dight. What they ala could
not be learned, but Il Is well known that
l0l having inaugurated the strike aud
taking The lead in the conduct OF Is, Is
more disposed to defend It than 7S
NEXT 70 Mr., rowpERLY's LETTER
the resolutions published in yester-
days GAzErrE, from the executive
board Of 7s, were regarded as
the most important development Of The
last two weeks. The concession OF an
assembly TO which over one.half. The
strikers in Texas belong that the strike
was mistake, made profound impress
SION both on the Knights aud the public
The latter generally commended Ii
as manly action, which would
rebound In the end TO the
good Of The order, aud hailed with dc
! light the prospect Of settlement Of the
troubles. 4 few knights, more bitter
than their brethren, openly condemned II
/ as a baek-duwn The sentiment of mi,
element, which embraces but few Of III,
more intelligent members OF the order
was reelected BY man who said
( "Ths lght has gone beyond the merit,
/ OF the original grievances II is nov
/ simply question us 20 whether the orto
4 shall survive or perish II we give IN w
might Just as well surrender our charter
and quilt"
|. AnoipgE, wAo looksa u. i quite differ
I entity, saids
"This defeat will do us good. We hal
! gotten TO the point where we needed
defeat. II we had won believe 1t woul'
have ruined the order The strike wa
becoming too popular After this, dc
pend upon 1t, one VIII not be ordere,
! until tic matter has been well considere,
and all other means exhausted to redres
urgrieyances."
Some surprise was expressed that Oh
resolutions OF District assembly No
rs, declaring It's intention TO In
vestigate for itself the troubles and ad
lust them If possible, were moi publlshe
or even referred TO in the local organ G
the Knights.
AN ANONYMOUS CIRCULAR,
stating that there would be q genera
strike OF engineers and firemeD, was dis
tributed here and at several other point
Yesterday A locomotive engineer, speal
ing to a GAZETTE reporter, said
"That was small piece OF business
and will not effect its purposes. The er
gineers have no grievances against tn
road and win not be forced into th
strike Our organization has its ow
methods OF settling its troubles, an
does not propose to take up other pee
, pies quarrels.n
The speaker thought the object Of III
circular was TO stiffen the backbone Of u
strikers.
Another engineer said;
"Tne mistake of the strikers was In M
. making IL question OF money instead I
men. The public, which measures ever
thing from money standard, symp
thizrs very little with individual wrongs
|, at least IL does not hold them OF sniilciel
importance to cause a paralysis of COZ
merce. II the strike had been based on
| 49, n
Hall matter as secondary considerable
in my judgment II would have been su
cessful, Whenever our Brotherhood b
grievances OF this sort 1t always settl
them by persistent efforts toward arblr
a ton, because we know that the public "
never approve strike Tor such eaus
All these troubles come from a lack
confidence In the railway officials on I
part OF the employees. The only way III
can be prevented is by leg slatlye pf
visions for arbitration. The roads "
win this fight, but mind what say ID
= will have another on their hands with
nine months"
THAT FAITHFUL BOYCOTT,
Another gentlemani friendly TO !
!, strikers, remarkedi
L.. Read all those cluIeDs fesolpioi
aud YOU will end that they have more
= saw about the boycott than the strii
The boycott lost the knights the SYM
thy Of the public"
on the subject Of the boycott, Mr
NJ. Lovin, grand master workman Of 4
sembly l0l, said TO a GAZETrE report'
"All This talk in the press about
boycott is without foundation. So far
I can remember there has been but Q
J boycott levied in TexHs--that against
Mallory line"
aWhat about the numerous indlyidu
and firms supposed TO have been O'
cotted herei"
"Tbat was simply the work Of a co
mittee, which issued a request TO
- members Of the order, and could
properly be called boycott"
Mr.. Loyin defended very warmly
use OF the boycott.
.If.n said he, 81 have friend who
!, dealings with an enemy OF mine, has
right 10 say TO him, you must give up
OF u.s."
AT ANY HAZARD.
