On account OF the favorable negotiR-

settlement OF the existing disputes
and also the recommendation OF an
advance in freight rates, more atten-
ton YVES directed toward the trunk

A Plant from Il Knight of Labor

Ed. Register.-The miners and la
borers in the employ of the Pilot Knob
Company respectfully call the atten-
ton of the public to the fact that most
of them are citizens Of the United
States and have always been observ-
ant of the laws of both State and Ma
ton, that the organic law of the land
guarantees to each citizen the right of
personal independence and the right to
peacea bly, assemble with his fellows
for any lawful purpose; that the OFF,
cials of the above mentioned company
are endeavoring to deprive them OF
their constitional privileges by dis
charging them for attending meetings
where matters of interest to working
men are discussed; openly stating that
this is the sole reason for their dis
charge. Against this most unwarranted
interference with their private affairs
they desire to enter their earnest pro-
test.
They claim themselves an equal
right with their employers to become
members of eny lawful organization, ,
whether it be the Masons, Odd Fellows,
Knights of Pythias or Knights of La.
Dor.
They demand that no restriction di-
rect or indirect shall ever be placed by
said company on their right to trade

Turn the Rascals Out!

The Republican officeholders who
constitute the Grand Lodge ofthe Bro
therhood of Railway Postal Clerks con-
tinue to be in a state of extreme agita-
ton and irritation, and they are liable
TO go on strike at any moment. At
meeting of their Executive Committee
last week it was decided to send teie-
gram to Postmaster General Villas ask
ing him il he would receive commit
tee authorized to present the grievances
of the Brotherhood. The telegram was
sent, but an answer wasn't, and SO a
committe will make an effort to get an
interview with Mr.. Villas this week,
and personally to demonstrate and sup
plicate. If he refuses to receive the
committee, the members of the Broth
erhood are going to strike. They
seem to think that the Government
can't get along without them.
The whole proceedings Of these peo-
ple have been impudent and insubord-
mate, and they have not learned dis
cretion from the fate of some of their
associates who were promptly dis
charged for the same offence. 1t is
high time for the Republican postal
railway clerks to learn that the railway
mail service can be carried on without
them, and that the Postmaster-Gener-
al is not to be bulldozed into keeping
Republicans in Office. These insolent
fellows should not be allowed to resign,
as they threaten to doll the Postmater-
General does not comply with their
demands. They should be kicked out
before they get a chance to resign.
The idea that Republican officeholders
have prescriptive right to Office needs
to be knocked in the head. They are
tenants by sufferance only, and the
sooner they are made to leave the bet
ter. They are keeping better men out.
