Inc Speaker said mere disagreement
between members as to the correctness or

HEPBURN's SARCASM.
MIR. Hepburn, of Iowa, speaking to
the question OF privilege, said that while

'conspiratOr' as applied to those who
had listened to Mr.. Wheeler's speech,
and maintained that it was perfectly com

gentleman from Alabama, when at most

DISCRIMINATION of the Knights of Labor.

OB1Chd Herald
The conviction is now fast becoming
general among the most ardent sympsthiz-
ers of labor that grave mistake, damsg-
ing to the cause OF labor, has been made
by the Knights who engaged in the strike
on the Gould system, at least that portion
of them employed on the Missouri Pacific.
This strike has made it clear that the or
ganization of labor is by no means so per-
feet as it appeared to be two weeks age.
Those who claimed for it system of local
organization tributary to and controlled
by a central governing body, now find
that while such system exists in theory
il has never yet been put in operation.
The highly intelligent Central Executive
Board, Of whose wisdom and moderation
were given many proofs during the past
week, does not control the action Of the
subordinate assemblies, and hence, as q
practical, working element, closely knit
and capable of direction toward a great
object for the benefit Of the entire industri'
al mass, the system needs vast amount OF
growth and discipline. 1t must be sppar'
eut to anybody who has given the least at
tention 10 the tendencies of the day that
in certain familiar circumstances 1t is
much easier to inaugurate strike than to
stop one. The strike on the Gould hnei
illustrates this in the lack of cohesion IN
the order. a local assembly sanctioned the
strike; but the conditions demanded by it,
council are in direct opposition to the prin
ciples publicly affirmed By the spokesman
of the Central Executive Board, Mr. Pow

Our country wants laws that shall prevent

archissic fools from landing on its shores to
add new difficulties to the great problem

Also something should be done to pre-
vent aliens from getting possession of such

others have rights besides themselves II
must be distinctly understood that tyranny
in this country, whether by organizations
OF capital or organizations Of labor, can moi
be tolerated.
