The Knighta Of Labor Condemn Edwix
Gould and His Infamous ralsshoods-
Il Arraisned for rsying ia Pat the Order
To Bsss Uses-A Circular Latter That

A man named Edwin F. Gould has
been given as the only authority for the
dollar-a-day lie about General Benjamin
Hai rison. This man Gould who h under
pay from the Democratic National and
state committees to do political lying by
abusing even his alleged connection with
labor organizations, is being denounced
by assembly after assembly Of the
Knights Of Labor. But Of all the resolu.
tions to this effect none meet the case
better and show the true feeling Of the
workingmcn toward Gould more fully
than the following:
A LIAR AND HIS FALsEHooDs CONDEMNED.
At meeting Of Armstrong assembly,
No. 2212, X. Of L., held at indianapolis,
Ind, on the evening Of Oct. II, 1883, at
which the following officers were pres.
were present: Johr Medert, master
workman; Edward s. Pope, recording
secretary; Michael Crosby, delegate to
district assembly 100 and member OF the
Legislative committee Of district assem-
bly, 106, and G. A. johnson, delegate to
district assembly 106, 1t was unanim-
ously decided to send the following cir
cular-letter to the Knights Of Labor:
SANCTUARY ARMSTRONG ASSEMBLY, No.
2212, INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. II, 1885,
To ALL KNIGHTS OF LABOR, GREETING:
In the interest of our order we believe It
to be to our duty to call the attention of
all Knights Of Labor to circular issued
by local assembly 283, X. of L., at Can
isteo, N. Y, which contains letter
dated at Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 10,
1888, sealed with the district assem-
bly,. 108, X. of L., and signed by
Edwin F. Gould as recording secretary
of the same. We do this for the follow
ing reasons:
First. Edwin F. Gould was not author
lied to write such letter. He used the
seal of district assembly 100, and signed
as recording secretary not only without
authority, but without the knowledge of
the master workman or members Of dis.
trict assembly 100, or the sanction of the
legislative committee.
Second. The Knights Of Labor con.
nected with district assembly 108, and
with the local assemblies represented by
district assembly 106, did not know of
the existence of such letter till its pub
lication in the Indianapolis newspapers,
more than three weeks after the date 1t
was alleged to have been written.
Third. We denounce and condemn
the action of Edwin F. Gould as wicked
and malicious, and doing a great wrong
to our order, it being well understood,
and part Of the law governing our order,
that political action shall not be taken
by an assembly.
Fourth. It is fully understood by the
members OF the X. Of L. in this city that
Edwin F. Gould is an unscrupulous po-
litical worker, and that he has sought
to use our order for furtherlng his polit.
ical schemes on other occasions as we'll
as this. We understand and fully believe
that he has been and now Is in the EN-.
ploy of the Democratic party, and that
he has been sent into the state Of New
York by the managers of the said
party, to advance the interests Of
Grover Cleveland and to injure the
reputation Of General Harrison, and to
destroy a. far a. possible the use
fulness Of our order. Therefore We warn
all Knights Of Labor everywhere to b.
ware Of Edwin r. Gould q unr eliablo
and wholly untrustworthy.
Fifth. We denounoe - maliciously
false the statements made BY said Gould
that General Harrison said that - dollar
day was enough for any workingman," ("
or 'that he would force them back 70
work II he had to wade in blood up 70
the tips Of his hngers," or that he
"would shoot them down a. dogs" and
other similar statements.
