The Master Workman Says the Order
Shows Renewed Activity.
And Reiterates His Views on the
Folly of Strikes.

PHILADELPHIA, April 12.-This weeks
Journal of United Labor will publish three
letters from Master Workman Powderly. In
one he complains bitterly of the treatment
the Knights receive at the hands Of certain
papers, He says: zone takes me to task
for entering into compact with the Broth
erhood of Engineers regarding the present
strike. have entered into no deal and have
not altered my course a particle l simply
reiterate the statement made at the begin
ming of the strike, believing a man who will
take the place of another, while that other
is ON a strike. is a ''scab." L cannot enter
into any arrangements or countenance the
handling of the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy road by the Knights While l do
not approve of strikes, will not lend my
aid to the Knights or others to assist corpor-
ations to break up any labor organization. l
am willing to enter into campact with the
Brotherhood to look after and guard the in
terest of labor for the future. In this l be-
lieve the general master workman will be
sustained by the entire order regardless Of
past differences. The question Of the fu-
ture welfare of the masses of today is an
swered in the X. of L. more than in any 9TH
or order on the continent. The man or
woman who would now destroy the hope OF
millions deserves the hatred and scorn OF
future ages.
"Now that suspended and defunct assem-
blies are reyiving, old members are return
ing land new ones are coming in, 1t be-
comes the duty of each assembly to make
the meetings so interesting that the interest
will not die out in the good work. Each as
sembly should be able 10 answer the follow
ing question on call from headquarters:
"How many children are engaged In the
mills, shops and factories of your place and
how many are working under the age below
which children should not work In your
State?
"Are rents reasonable, too high or extor-
tiOnate in your city or town?
What proportion is property assessed In
your locality, and does the poor man pay as
high rate of taxation for an improved lot as
the wealthy man?
"Does the man who holds town lot wait
ing for your labor to increase its value be-
fore selling, pay as high rate Of taxation
for property which your labor is making
valuable as you pay on your property? Ii
not, why not? Why should man hold a
piece of land and refuse to sell it until the
population has increased so that he can de-
mand big price? Is it his labor or the labor
Of the community which increased its value?
Should workingmen own stock In corpor-
tions?
Referring to the special call of March 81,
he says: "rhere appears to be doubt as to
the exact meaning of the proposition relat-
ing to the levying of an assessment for edu-
cati0nal purposes. The intention is to make
but one levy of 10 cents. If that Is paid it

Matthew Arnold has lately written very
sore and bitter article on Americans and
their institutions. In only one respect does
he seem to think the Americans fortunate.
He admires the American women, II he can
be judged by the following extract from his
otherwise Ill humored effort Much may
be said against the voices and intonation of
American women. But almost everyone ac-
knowledges that there is charm in Ameri-
can women--a charm which you find in
almost all Of them, wherever you 60. 1t Is
the charm of natural manner. manner
not self conscious, artificial and constrained.
1t may not be beautiful manner always,
but it is almost always natural manner, a
free and happy manner; and this gives
pleasure. Here we have, undoubtedly. a
note Of civilization, and an evidence, at the
same time, of the good effect of equality upon
social life and manners. have often heard
it observed that perfectly natural manner
is as rare among English women of the mid
die classes as it is general among American
women of like condition with them. And so
far as the observation is true, the reason Of
its truth no doubt is, that the English woman
Is living in presence of an upper class, as it
is called-in presence, that is, OF class OF
women recognized as being the right thing IN
style and manner and whom sne lmagineS
criticising her style and manner, finding this
or that TO be amiss with it, this or that to be
vulgar. Hence self-consciousness and con-
straint In her. The American woman nves
in presence Of no such class; tnere may %
circles irving to pass themselves of as such
a class, giving themselves airs as such, but
they command no recognition, no authority.
The American woman In general Is perfectly
unconcerned about their opinion, is herself,
enioys her existence, and has consequently
manner happy and natural. 1t Is her great
charm and II Is moreover, as have said, a
real note of civilization. and one which has
to be reckoned to the credit of American life
and of its equality"

Oxford county is not solid for any one man
