Resolved by joint session Of districts 101 and
7S that we win never return to work on the Gould

grows and water runs unless the officers of said sys
tenn agree to arbitrate with organization.
Resolved That we seorn with bitter contempt the
course of H. nj. Hoxe in snubbing honored
brother and general master workman OF our order.
which action was an insult to every member of our
order from Maine to California.
Resolved That we, the Knights of Fort Worth,
bound we are, with the most sacred obligations,
will stand firm in this struggle let the result be it
may. and we call upon our brethren here and else
where to have hope, and strength, and patriotism,
that we may win despite the Vaccinations Of our
enemies.
Resolved That we treat with contempt the servile
money serving spirit that prompted the resolutions
made in the name of the citizens of Fort Worth
Resolved, That we class IN our vocabulary of
''scabs'' the who conceived them, and the
who hawked them around city, obtaining the sig
natures OF some of our best men under false pre-
lenses. sending it forth expression of the bust
interests of Fort Worth against the Knights OF
Labor and the Farmers Alliance. When the wheels
OF commerce once more revolve and our merchants
shall again resume their almost paralyzed business
'vox populi, vox Del" Therefore, we ask the CO.
operation of good friends and citizens to uphold
our cause.
