the Federation.

the Federation.
TERRE HAUTE, Aug. 25.-The Knights
of labor asked for bread, and their
Brethren of the United Order of Rail
road Employees, better known as the
Federation, has responded wi tn stone.
The unfortunate knights are left to
their own resources, and they are not
even offered pecuniary support. The
outcome NAV prove a death blow to
the Knights. At the same time it IS a
vindication of the conservatism and
prudence of the Federation.
At meeting of the council today
the debate on the report of the com
mlttee waxed warm and lasted nearly
five hours before a vote was reached.
Just how 1t resulted numerically is
known only to the delegates. 1t Is be-
lieved, however, that three delegates
from the Switchmen's Union, two from
the conductors two from the train
men and one from the tiremen voted
IN the negative.
The delegates breathed sigh of relief
after the crucial test had been applied
and then proceeded TO prepare a mani
festo for the public, gaIding the strike
and the position of the Fed ration in
the affair. This occupied consider
able time, and another debate
was precipitated 10y the introduction
of resolution changing the
constitution so ss 10 require 4 two

braced under the constitution 10 declare

Supreme Council adjourned sine die at

labor organizations was given to the
press.
After detailing at length the efforts of
the Supreme Council to secure an ami
cable adjustment of the trouble be-
tween the Knights and the Central, the
manifesto expresses an unanimous and
unqualified approval Of the position Of
the Knights Of Labor, as set forth by
Mr.. Powderly; denounces the course
pursued by Nlce-PresiGent Webb IN en-
ploying Pinkcrton detectives to xiii the
workingmen because they have dared
TO protest against his rule, and strike for
their rights; asserts that 1t is only
4 question of time when similar effort
10 the one now being made by Webb 10
destroy the Knights of Labor, Will be
made To seal the fate of other labor or
carnations; uneQuvOca condemns
the arrogant attitude of Webb IN as
sumlng that the New York Central Is
private property and that MS acts III the
treatment of his employees are i'll no
sense matter of public concern, and
concludes by stating that owing to the
fact that the order of Knights OF Labor
is not a member of the Federation of
Railway Employees, the laws OF the
Supreme Council do not permit its
doing mare than it has done to aid le
Knights of Labor, and Its inability. TO
participate otherwise in the strike Is
known and appreciated by Mr.. Pow
