 tion from their course to take up spites. grudges or fancied grievances or societyquar-
 rels. I speak thus on general principles. Selectman Julius Tyler-I think the COURIER is entirely fair in it's statement and ! I cannot for the life of me see why the Knights of Labor should order boycott | under the circumstances and I don't believe | they will. If they should, don't believe | the COURIER subscribers or advertisers will ! support them in such course by withdraw ing their patronage. cannot for the life of me | see what reason there is in such demands as
 are made by the Typographical union, pro- vided the statement made by MT. Darlington | is correct, which have no reason to doubt. Still, as l said, l cannot think the Knights | of Labor will support the printers in any un- | just demands that they may see fit to make. | Why, there are men and women that have
 taken the COURIER for years, and they would not take any other paper if it was furnished | them without charge. The same is true also ! in regard to large share of it's advertising patronage they think the old COURIER is | just the place to advertise and they go there and will continue to do so, boycott no l boycott.
 Massena Clark-This labor agita ton is death blow to business here and elsewhere. Mir. Forsyth of the Elm City Dye Works There will be reaction in this striking business, which has gone too far MT. Patrick Bowling, the contractor-I do not think it would be right for the COURIER to turn away it's men under the circum-
 stances. I do not think the Knights of La
 bor will countenance or lend their support to
 any such unjust demands.
 ,Supt. Wells of the State street horse rail
 road-This striking and boycotting busins ss
 has gone too far. It is already stagnating
 the business of the country.
 William NJ. Geary-Do I think the CoUR-
 IER's statement is souEd3 Most certainly do.
 I think MT. Darlington has treated the
 printers union with perfect fairness. think
 it would be unj just to the last degree for him
 to discharge the men who have been in his
 employ so many years at the bidding of the
 printers union. As I understand it, the
 COURIER has adopted union prices and union
 rules. What do the union men want? The eartha Well, you will find that the people at
 large won't back up any such demand, and you know 'Vox populi vox Dei" is an old motto, but it is true, nevertheless. F. G. Anthony-The de mands of these
 men, as I understand matters, are simply out rageous. No one with any self-respect | would concede them for one moment. I be- | lieve in justice and fair play and in fair | muneration for labor, but when these de- | mands are made and granted and humiliat ing requirements are added, think it is
 carrying the thing too far. I do not believe that the larger portion of workmen will SUD- port any such demands as are made by the
 printers.
 Charles Lichtenstein, the blacksmith on State street.-The demands upon the CoUR FER are wholly unjust nobody but cranks would make such demands.
 MT. Diebel, the caterer-It is time some body made stand against this boycotting.
 If it keeps on boycotting will become general
 and everybody will boycott his neighbor.

 peals at once to the sympathies of every
 humane man. When workingmen try to
 starve one another they cannot claim any body's sympathy.
 A prominent manufacturer employing 200 men said: Our shops are busy, but can't say how long they will be so. These unjust de- | mands are killing the labor movement and | paralyzing business. The country cannot
 recover from it in years if this keeps on. Another prominent manufacturer em l ploying nine hundred men said: am a | friend to labor. All my acts go to prove it. l But the course of events goes to show strongly l that excessive demands such as are frequently being made will kill and paralyze business | for months, if not for years. It is time to | utter voice of warning.
 I A prominent man in one of the profes- | sions said: It is sad to see men striking at a l time when business is bad enough already | and the manufacturers can hardly keep the l shops going, as it is emphatically the case in many instances. I want no workingman | harmed or injured. But we have here in New Haven no such glaring injustice done as some already shown in the large cities and ill the Vest Capital must not abuse labor, nor must labor tyrannize.
 The opinion of the students was expressed quite freely on the campus yesterday in re-
 gard to the threatened boycott of the COURIER
 by the Typographical union. Prof. Sum-

 and all seem to think it is the most com plete injustice to compel parties who have no quarrel with the company or individual 1 thus attacked to be themselves boycotted Everyone questioned on the subject endorsed l the course of the COURIER in opposing the
 unjust demands of the Typographical union. l Ex- Chief of Police Charles w Allen said The demands made by the Typographical | union upon the COURIER are an outrage upon decency and humanity. The idea of one set | of men demanding that another shall starve | simply because they do not belong to their society. Such demands are tyrannical, un- l just, dictatorial and will be frowned upon in l all New Haven. Shall one set or society of | men be allowed the power of driving other | men, who are their peers in morality and | good character, into the streets to starve with their little children-and in the name | of labor? God forbidl
 l c. S. Bushnell said to gentleman yester- 1 day-The demand upon the COURIER is | wholly unjust and am glad they withstand | it. A Fair Haven citizen said: I rejoice to see | the CoUR1ER's stand in the case. It will suit l the whole community. It is time dictation 1 of this sort ceased
 A prominent gentleman said: take the COURIER. It is a friend always to the work l ingman. Its stand is correct and I applaud it. Put me down for two CoURIERs. A prominent Chapel street merchant said: It did me good to see the stand the COURIER takes Stick to it. You can't lose even if boycotted. don't believe any man of repu- tation or account in the community who ad- vertises with you will take his advertisement from the COURIER. The community is with you. Boycotting is distasteful to the mer | chants and they are heartily sick of being dictated to in the matter. It's time this sort | of dictation ceased. It certainly is when
 men appear to dictate to man how he shall run his business and to order his men out of his office to starve in the streets. | A prominent Chapel street merchant said: While believe in men being paid fair wag- es, do not believe in set or society of men dictating to 8 corporation whom they shall or shall not employ. The position taken by | the COURIER is a just one, and it would be very unjust to put boycott on, and for my part don't believe the Knights of Labor would uphold one.
 Clark Peck said: To order 8 boycott on the COURIER would be very unj just thing
 for the Knights of Labor to do under the cir
 cumstances, and, although favor the labor
 ing men, should uphold no such thing as
 that.
 Deputy Sheriff Warren said: To boycott
 the COURIER just because you will not dis
 charge your faithful workmen, who obtain
 as much pay as the union printers, would be
 a very unfair and unjust thing to do.
 MT. Rankin of Beers & Rankin, druggists,
 said: The demand of the union printers
 that you should discharge the faithful men
 in your employ is an unjust one and it seems
 that it is only out of spite they ask it so as
 to obtain their positions
 Edward Stevens said: 1 don't think any
 just man after hearing the statements in re-
