and told TO use them. Polleshek
could scarcely speak the English
language. IL will be well 10 ask
why blank commissions with the
sheriffrs name attached are placed at
the disposal Of Robert Pinkerton 10
be placed in the hands Of Ignorant
men, who believe that under this
authority they have the right 10
shoot citizens 10 death.
'aln Onier 30 test this ease still fur
ther 10 learn IL all citizens would
receive the same treatment, / telt-
gnphed 10 Sheriff Tappan Of Renes-
selaer County, asking him II he
would swear in two hundred dept
ties to protect the lives Of our mem
hens. lie replied that he did not
think the present situation would
warrant the appointments.
wv. Walter Webb applauds the
action Of PinkertOn In shooting, and
says they dill right w. Walter
Webb never did one stroke Of work
To ACQUIRE THE WEALTH
he now abuses. IL came 10 him by
inheritance. and he does not fully
appreciate IL, but regards II rs some
thing 10 be used for himself alone.
The elder Vanderbilt was n work
man and knew something about
the feelings Of the man who tolls.
IL was during his days that the rec
ord Of the New York Genital for its
generous treatment Of workmen was
made, and not under the present
management.
ssThe conduct OF the men since
the strike began has been most or
DERBY aud cOmmendabie, and until
Il closes no knight Of LabOr will lie
found in an unlawful act Of any
kind. We are pledged 10 m1intain
the law. We will obey the legal
commands Of the State, but not
those Of n corporation which defits
public opinion and has no regard FOR
justice when dealing with lis en-
pl0yes. Cancellation ami albiira-
ton can deal with the most intricate
question II dispute"
In conclusion, P0wderly say:
"The knights Of Labor hold
themselves IN readiness now, and
will continue 10 hold themselves

pie in this matter. The cOmIany,
on the other hand, hollis itself above
