THE STRIKE IS ENDED.

Our dispatches to-day contain the
gratifying intelligence that Jay Gould
has consented to the proposition of the
Knights OF Labor to create a Board o.
Arbitration to settle the differences ex.
listing between the knights in the South
west and their railroad company employ.
ers. Pending the settlement of THEN
troubles, in obedience to the order oil
Grand Master Powderlv, the Knights
have resumed work and traffic on the
roads has been resu med, to the great re-
lief of the whole country.
In this connection, it will be noted that
Congressman O'Neill expected to report
to-day from the House Committee on
Labor, ga bill creating boards of arbi-
tration for the speedy settlement OF con-
troversies and differences between COM
mon carriers engaged in interstate and
Territorial commerce or business and
their employees" The need of some
such measure must now be apparent to
such proportions as to make the labor
question one of such Importance as to
ogershadow the tariff, silver coinage and
all other national issues. 1t may be that
the passage of this measure through
Congress will be delayed too long TO
make it OF service in the settlement of
the present troubles, but it will be
needed in future and should be given i'm
mediate consideration by Congress.
The bill which Mr.. O'Neill expects to
introduce provides for the appointment
by the President of an Arbitration Com
mission to consist of nine members,
whose names may be suggested by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Knights of Labor, and the most
numerous association of farmers, not
more than five of whom shall be of the
same political party, whose duty it shall
be to investigate the causes and arbi-
trate upon all differences between rail-
roads and other common carriers and
their employees. They may proceed in
sections of three, and the conclusions |
are to be presented to a quorum of |
the entire board for affirmation. |
This decision, If disobeyed, is to be sub
mitted to a United States District Court
or Circuit Judge OF competent jurisdic-
tlon, who shall summarily review, modify
or change the same, and enter his opinion
in the nature o: decree. which, if disre-
garded, shall be punished of court The
board may also arbitrate between trade
industries and employees on strike or
lockout, but their action in this behalf is
only advisory. The commissioners are to
be paid an annual salary of $1,000 and

Mrs. Dean, of Salt Lake, testified that

ConveninE knights.

District assembly No. 80, of Massachu
setts, was in session. nearly all of last
week, at Worcester. From New York
papers the impression is obtained that
the meeting was rather lively one, the
bone of contention being the trade
union question: hut harmony was re-
stored near the end of tie meeting.
Eighty delegates were elected to repre-
sent the district at Richmond.
New YORK, July 25.-After four
hours discussion at a meeting which
was called to day for the purpose, res
oiution was adopted by the Cigarmak
ers' Progressive union, opposing a union
with the Knights of Labor.
MIDDLETowN, Conc cectlcut, July 2l.-
Two hundred and fifty delegates from
the ninety six local assemblies which
make up district assembly 95 of the
Knights of Labor were in session here
to-day. These delegates represent about
90, 100 Knights, all there are in the state,
except those of New Haven, who do not
belong to this district. The convention
was called to elect twenty y-five delegates
to the national convention In Richmond
All its doings are secret, and the names
of the delegates elected cannot bt

Political Action.

For The Enquirer.
Shall the various organizations Of the
workers unite IN political action this
fall? l will answer this question by
asking another: What have the work
ers ever gained by electing their own
members to Office? Did it help to build
up the organization, or were the officers
so elected better members and more
faithful to their order; did they use the
influence thus conferred upon them to
help the workers in ant way2
To all of this answer no, emphati-
cally, no. What good can possibly
come from sending our own members to
congress or the state legislature, to mob
mob cheek by -iowl with these cunning
politicians; do they not soon become
boon companions with these very men
who have played fast and loose with us
so long. His integrity will be cOmpro-
missed, as money is a greater temptation
to poor man than to one who is rich.
What has been the experience Of the
workers in the past on this subject
Careful examination will prove that
neither in this country nor yet in Eng
land have the workers benefited them
selves BY voting men from their own
ranks into office could name persons
as illustrations Of thia statement but for
| bear.
What then shall We do to bring about
the necessary reforms we seek? We
can do this. We can hold the party re-
sponsible for the men they put before
us as candidates for our suffrage, and,
after election for the measures brought
forward, and the members responsible
for their votes. This will work change
for the better much sooner and more eff
fectual than bv electing our own men,
bers to office. If we ignore party and
send our own members they only are re-
sponsible and not the party. If the
politicians once grasp the idea that they
hold their office at our discretion they
! will not be backward in introducing aud
supporting such legislation as the peo-
ple need for the party good will be at
stake, and they prefer party to meas
ures.
Another reason for not going into
politics is, that the workers themselves
have not yet cut themselves loose from
party influences and control, and the
result would certainly be disaster for
through the trickery of the cunning pol
itician we should have our own mem
bers arrayed against each other. This
would SOW dissension in our own ranks
and our organizations would suffer.
Again l would say to the workers.
keep out of politics. 1t is dirty slough
at the best and bodies no good to The
workers. Keep on organizing aud lei
us perfect ourselves by getting control
of self, and when we have learned tc
vote Alright and broken loose from party
then, and not till then, can we think O.
sending our own members into the legis
lature or congress. But let US unite oul
forces and then we shall conquer.

A second was heard from Profit. He
was in the same boat, but the motion
was lost.
Old Fogy spoke to the previous ques-
tion, obiecting to all restriction upon
Land Rent. "If anyone wants land"
said he, "let him 60 west where it is
cheap, and work for his neighbors to
get a start. With energy he will succeed
as others have DONE"
Progress now spoke as f,lloa "Tha

sists. in getting a title to land which
some one will want afterward, and to get

it. The question arises: Is civilization
of any benefit to mankind? If it is,
why does Old Fogy claim all the benefit
for the land owner? Nearly all increase
of wealth is merged into land values.
Now, although the whole value .is cre-
ated by the community, those who have
no title to any land shall 60 to the will

After more debate Mr.. Rent was placed
in irons. and taken into custody.

BRAND THEM.

When that exemplary man, Prof.
Wayland, opposed the branding Of
convict-made goods he gave him
self away" as it were. A Mr..
Chaplin, of New Hartford, appeared
before the Labor Committee of the
Legislature and asked that convict
made goods be required by law to be
marked i'll order to be recognized, it
remained for II Yale Professor to
disgrace the college by opposing the
bill. Perhaps he draws revenue
from this kind of labor-or being a
lawyer, perhaps he is hired to oppose
it. The bill ought to pass, never
thelcss. for honest labor could pro-
tect itself more easily if convict
made goods were branded. But
human asses brand themselves. Re
member them.

A HOPEFUL MOVEMENT.

The address Of General Master
Workman Powderly last Tuesday
evening in Music Hall called out an
immense audience. No one could
look on the earnest, upturnod faces
without feeling impressed that q
great moral purpose actuatcd the
majority, and that although perhaps
most of those present could not have
clearly expressed the basal idea on
which the great Order of the Knights
of Labor is founded. vet it could be
eassly seen that that idea was under
stood. One Of the most striking tes-
timonies to this fact was the remark
made by Prof. +. b. Andrews, of
Brown University, to Mr.. Powderly
at the close of the lecture. After
being introduced, and while he still
retained hold of Mr. Powderly's hand,
the professor said, substantiaIly;
God bless You; 90 on in your work .
As far as understand your purposes

to be the most hopeful one for the
