ly believed. 1t intimates that Powderly
had in view the control of all the railroad
systems in Pennsylvania, for which pur-
pose he ordered a secret boycott of all but
the Reading, designing to throw the bulk of
traffic to that road. By this means he
hoped to boycott the Pennsylvania, the
Lehigh Valley and the rest. But his secret
boycott did not work. The intention of
the Executive Board was to make certain
demands OF the Reading after they had
thrown all the business to it. The boycott
OF other roads failing, the strike on Read
ing was ordered. There is very little reli-
ance to be placed on this sensationalstory.
Had it been as the Sun intimates there
would have been none of the %vacillation
and dissension SO conspicuous at the meet
ings of Reading employees. The strike has
been precipitated unadvisedly and without
that concert OF action which has distin.
guished any movement in which the
Knights OF Labor Chief has been a leader.

The Governor last week appointed W. e.
Cullen to the Office of Attorney General OF
Montana. The new appointee is spoken OF
~favorably by the Independent. which says:
A more satisfactory appointment could
hardly be made. Mr.. Cullen is one of the
most popular members of the profession in
the Territory. and his experience has been
such az to warrant the belief that the in
terests of the public will be carefully looked
after and fully protected. MI. Cullen was
q strong candidate for the chair of Chief
Justice OF the Territory not long since and
there were few in the profession either in or
out of the Territory who did not give him
a hearty support for the position. In the
lew place assigned him he will undoubtedly
give satisfaction, and will remain in the &C.
tive pursuit of the law which is 50 con-
ducive to intellectual growth.

The Inter Mountain says "protection
does protect::after ALL" It certainly does
not protect the coal miners of Pennsyl-
vania whom the coal barons are fighting
for demanding living wages and who have,
it is reported, sent for 2, 900 Belgian miners
to break up the Lehigh valley coal strike.
There's no tariff on men. The monopolists
maintain free trade in them and want to
see as much competition in the labor mar
ket as they can encourage if they have to
import it. Protection protects the manu-
facturer, and when he can't help himself,
pay decent wages-not longer.

he deplores the prevalence of Socialism, the
