The Knights of Labor of Austin
denounce as false the charges made
through the Associated Press, that
members of the order burned bridges,
poisoned woman and child. and all
similar charges. They also denouuce
the Associated Press as being con
trolled by monopolists, and the action
of U. S. marshals and their deputies
against the Knights in certain places
rs illegal and unwarranted. They
endorse the present strike, but de-
clare their disapproval of strikes and
boycotts, save as a matter of the last
resort. They further say that the
Statesman refused to publish their
proceedings.
On the other hand, large number
OF the citizens of Austin join in a
public endorsement of the action of
the railroads in resisting the strike.
And the same thing has been done at
various other Texas cities and towns.
