THE LABOR ALLIANCE.
Not Coalition but Corporation is What
is Desired.

The farmers alliance has not so far found Q
plan OF coalition with the knights of Labor.
The Joint committee of the Union and Northern
alliance, appointed Tuesday, after q long con-
ference failed to agree upon plan of CONSOLE
dation and yesterday morning a new COMMITTEES
of five was appointed to tackle the matter.
Mr.. Ralph Beaumont OF this city, chairman
of the national legislative committee of the
knights of Labor and one Of the committee to
confer with a committee from the farmers and
laborers' union, said: 1--WE have no intention Of
endeavoring to effect consolidation with the
farmers and laborers' union. As 1 understand
il the northern and southern farmers alliances
the farmers mutual benefit association and the
agricultural wheel have consolidated and We
are to confer with them with a view TO further
ing the interests of both organizations i'm tbe
way OF cooperation, not consolidation. In view
OF the fact that legislative bodies have made
unjust discrimination against the farmers by
special acts OF legislation in favor Of CORPORA
tons we deem II necessary 10 take steps TO as
sist each other. We shall agree that when the
farmers put candidates in the field for either
legislative, senatorial or presidential position
we VIII support the candidate and they will do
the same for us. IL may be possible that at
some future period we shall consolidate. but No
present we will not try TO do anything OF the

with the railroads." said Mr. A. NJ Loovis of
Frankie Co., when questioned by STAR re-
porter.
ANY particular road?" asked the reporter.
mo" he replied lone is as bad as the other
The shipments from the west have been much
worse than those from the east. Such thing
as getting freight on time is simply out of the
question. Yesterday we received goods that
were shipped October II and we still have
goods on the road that were shipped October f.
One crate shipped from Baltimore arrived in
exactly twentyone days.
Both roads, he continued, ''need thorough
raking over. Freight bills are dated in some
instances ten and twelve days back.
Washington Is now an important shipping
point and We don't want a short stop made
because of the lack of railroad facilities. Dur
ing the conciave We imported many goods for
that time and not more than half of them ar
rived in time.
Il don't believe" he concluded, ''that there
is another city in the country with such poor
railroad facilities. The fact is that there is no
western city of 10000 inhabitants that has as
much trouble as is experienced here"
BERNARD BAILEY.
Mr.. Bernard Bailey, the hardware dealer,
said: II have been terribly annoyed by the
railroads failure to make prompt shipments
don't know whether it is negligence or lack of
facilities, but if recent experiences are repeated
between now and Christmas don't know what
some of the merchants are going to do for holt
day goods. I had goods shipped from Balti-
more ON the 2Sth OF September that would
like to get. There is one Objectionable feature
about the business. That is, when you send q
driver with q bill for goods he pays the bill
and then the goods cannot be found. Then the
railroad handles the goods to suit their conven-
fence. but the money is kept all the same. II

'Without explanation or reason" is what w.
d. Houghton, the furniture dealer, says about
the delay which his house has suffered in the
delivery of freight. Every day." he added,
~ send a special messenger to the freight
offices of both roads, and by persistent nagging
manage to get some things delivered. Ii is
the only way. Why, goods shipped from Balti-
more have been delayed fifteen DAVIS, goods
from Indiana nine weeks, from Grand Rapids
and the west six to nine weeks. Freight from
New York is promptly delivered. But lust
think Of doing business under such condi-
tions. 1t is perfect outrage. What
is needed to remedy these evils are better faeil-
ties. The roads seem to be unable to get the
cars into the city and they allow cars to remain
at points outside OF the city, and the business
men are obliged to submit to the loss which
such delay occasions. There seems to be no
trouble with through freight for this city. but
when this place Is made way station then the
delay occurs"
B. r. GUY AND COMPANY.
Speaking Of the freight blockade to a STAR
reporter today, MIR. B. F. Guy said: 'sThe man.
ner in which the railroad companies treat the
citizens and merchants of this city is simply
outrageous. No other community would stand
it. There is no necessity tor this state of
affairs. Why, look, during the late war the
travel and freight were more than double vet
they handled them with apparent ease. Some
one suggests that the Pennsylvania railroad
company are retaliating for the way they have
been harrassed in South Washington and
don't know but there is something in it, but
aside from that can see no possible reason for
the manner they are treating the merchants of
this city unless IT be to influence legislation"
sEAToN PERRY.
Mr.. Seaton Perry said that his freight from
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore has
been delivered promptly. but from other
points there has been considerable unnecessary
delay.

Mr.. Charles Baum said that personally he had
had no difficulty in receiving freight, but he
knew that the railroad companies were treating
