the strike. The great drawback, and
the principal one to the various com.
anIes in fully resuming, is the Inability
of the St. Louis Bridge company and
the Belt Line to afford sufficient trans
ferring facilities across the bridge
and tie river, and from the levee to the
various yards.
The Bridge company employed a few
more new men yesterday and also few
this morning, but they cannot do all the
business that is required of tt, EN-. The
Belt Line and the Bridge company re-
quire sixteen switchmen on each side of
the river to do the necessary work, and
the number of men now employed is in
adequate. The officials state that this
state of affairs is not because the men do
not desire, to return to work, but be-
cause they are afraid to do 30 for fear of
tile consequences after the militia shall
be ordered away.
A report was sent to military head
quarters in East st. Louis last night stat

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Preamble and Declaration OF Principles
n Of This Great and Growing
Order OF Workingmen.

The alarming development and aggressive
ness Of great capitalists and corporations, un-
less checked, will inevitably lead to the
pauperiZation and hopeless degradation of
the toiling masses.
1t is imperative, If we desire to enjoy the
full blessings of life, that a check be placed
upon unjust accumulation, and the power for
evil of aggregated wealth
This much-desired object can be accom-
plished only by the united efforts of those
who obey the divine Injunction, "In the
sweat Of thy face shalt thou eat bread"
Therefore we have formed the Order Of
Knights of Labor, for the purpose of organiz-
ing and directing the power Of the industrial
masses, not as a political party, for 1t is more
in it are crystalized sentiments and meas
ures for the benefit Of the whole people, but
it should be borne in mind, when exercising
the right OF suffrage, that most Of the objects
herein set forth can only be obtained through
legislation, and that it is the duty Of all to as
sist in nominating and supporting with their
votes only such candidates as will pledge
their support to those measures, regardless of
party But no one shall. however, be COM
PEELED to vote with the majority, and calling
upon all who believe in securing 1.-The greatest
good to the greatest number" to join and as
sist US, we declare to the world that our aims
are:
l. To make industrial and moral worth, not
wealth, the true standard of individual and
National greatness.
II. To secure to the workers the full enjoy
ment of the wealth they create, sufficient
leisure in which to develop their intellectual,
moral and social faculties; all Of the benefits
recreation and pleasures Of association; in
word, to enable them to share in the gains
and honors of advancing civilization.
In order to secure these results, we demand
Of the STATE:
III. The establishment Of Bureaus of Labor
Statistics, that we may arrive at correct
knowledge of the educational, moral and fl
nancial condition of the laboring masses.

The Buffalo Wins the Race.

Their big trade, the past four weeks,
doubled oyer the regular run; extra
help put on to handle it, while the new
store let off two or three of their help.
Goods that 60 to pieces in two weeks
will soon kill any trade. Such goods are
made up for auction houses by convict
labor and answer for jumping around
stores with which to bite the Deople, at
double price, but that kind of business
is short-lived. The Famous Buffalo
Shoe Store. on Fifteenth street, has
done the helping-hand act in placing
down its prices on all classes and grades
of goods to half of what they are marked
in plain figures. Had the new shoe
store followed suit instead of charging
double, their trade would have kept up,
bnt they could not make any money.
The Buffalo Is now running at loss and
it is great blessing to the poor.

For the Enquirer
The eight hour law may result In

want to say that labor saving machines
we're intended by the Almighty to bene'
fit all and not a few-not intended to
work in opposition to the masses-to
grind them down TO poverty and degra-

Tn popula ion is fast increasing !;
labor saving machines being placed
upon the market faster than ever, and
what will it all end in, even though you
shorten the hours to three per day? 1t
will end IN making slaves of the people

THE LEAGUE.
A Programme That Was Not Fully
Carried Out For Want of Time.
Matter Accumulating.

Another successful meeting can be
scored to the account of the League as
the hall WAS filled last Sunday night to
listen to expositions of the several
branches Of the social question by diff
ferent members.
Comrade DR.. Peet was tle principal
speaker of the evening and gave an ad-
dress an the financial branch of the
question; he was attentively listened to
and his remarks were we'll received.
The lesson of the evening, Surplus
Values" was read by the chairman,
Comrade Lennon, and responded to by
Cohrade Eye.
Comrade Young made some very in
teresting remarks upon the lesson that
displayed. much thought and excellent
judgment. Comrade DeEis Leahy also
made some excellent remarks in his u.s.
nal hearty manner.
Comrade Mrs. Mantle read very ap-
prOpriate poem, entitled the Swamp of
Death" Quite number availed them
selves of the usual recess shat followed
to pay their monthly dues and several
others signed the roll of membership.
The financial standing of the League is
now assured, the expenses of rent and
other incldentals are all paid up, d
quite a respectable sum ia expended in
literature for free distribution, and still
a balance is left in the treasury.
After the recess COmraIe Mrs. Collar
read second paper on ",TOman's Atti
tude to Socialism," in which the subject
of woman in her relation TO the different
eUochs Of history is brought down to the
time subsequenttOt the Reformation. The
subject is an interesting one and there
can be no doubt from the showing Of
the essays that Socialstic doctrines and
government " i'll be pearls Of great price
to women.
Comrade Collins and Behymer were
then loudly called for. The chairman
explained that as the time was short
and Comrado Behymer was the principal
speake for tie next meeting, COmrAde
Collins would be given few moments.
The Comrade then gave some of his we'll
known clinching arguments which ar
reused the applause and laughter Of the
audience.
Comrade David Morris & in the
closing remarks of the evening and let
some light in on the character Of the au-
tocrat, Jay Gould, and asked why reso-
lutlons were not drawn symDathlzlng
with the Southwestern strikers and de-
nounclng Jay Gould, the man who said
there was no distinct Iint between The
daughters of workinxman and arlstO-
Gratis in dress and airs, and who said
that wages must be reduced and work
men be made to live on corn meal and
mush.
Time would not allow for the entire
programme of the evening to be carried
out, so the selection Of Comrade Jackson
AMI the essay of Comrade Callahan were
postponed until next Sunday.
The meeting closed by singing "Our
Cause" to the air, America"

All the trouble which has ensued
since the Powderly agreement, all the
mischief which has been fomented, all
the loss which has occurred to the busi-
ness public, the destruction of property
and the loss of life lie at Jaw Gould's
door. But for his refusal to carry out
his arbitration agreement settlement
would have Deen made before this time,
the men would have been at work for
two weeks, and the trains all runnir z
freely and safely as usual. But for him
the sad affair at East st. Louis would not
have occurred and there would have
been no occasion for Gov. OglesbY to
march the state militia there. The
state of Illinois would not have been put
to the expense of fguarding railroad prop
