August -, 1890.
Politics seem to have crept into the rail-
road strike at this point, and Governor
Hilrs friends allege that the strikers All
laid him. At recent meeting OF the
Knights, Depew and the Republican man
agement Of the road were denounced by one
of the speakers, and cheers were given Tor
Hill. The spectacle Of General Farnsworth
riding in carriage with one of the agitators
of the strike and assuring crowd oil
strikers that he was authorized by the Gov
ernor to say that the latter's sympathies
were with them, is not particularly dlgni-
lied. but the Governor does not care.
The impression In general that the knights
of Labor will call a general strike upon the
Vanderbilt system. Whether the Fedora
ton will join the movement Is uncertain As
vet. and .one mans .gucss - as good a.
auothers. Sweeney, Grand Master OF the
Svitchmen's Mutual Aid Society. is the man
who saws that the Federation leaders are nor
unanimous for a strike, and that sargent
misrepresented them when he said SO:
Sweeney's attitude is giving 80 mucn aid
and comfort 10 the enemy that Fowderiy
and his secretary are very sore about II.
Powderly's manifesto to the public has
fallen Hat.
The Chicago papers have local interviews
with Grand Secretary Debs, OF the hremen,
and Grand Organizer Hazel, OF the sWltch-
men. and an interview from New ,oih
with sweeney. in which all three oppose
the ordering of strike by the supreme
Council. If these men vote, as they are re
norted TO have talked, no strike can be or
dered under the rules of the supreme Coun-
eli of the federated association. DeDs
saws there is nothing TO Indicate that the
supreme Council will order a general
strike. Chief Arthur, Of the engineers,
talks the same way.
