CHICAGO, September 26.-J. F. Goddard
will not be president of the Southwestern
Railroad and Steamship association. The
gossips who so confidently picked him out
for that place will have to guess again. The
headquarters of the association are to be in
st. Louis, and even if Mr.. Goddard were
offered the craftsmanship, he would decline
it on that account. Mr.. Goddard said that
he is Chicago man and intends to remain
here unless an Inducement more powerful
than any that has been offered is brought to
bear upon him. One of the men now most
talked of for the craftsmanship is S. B. Hynes,
general freight agent for the Southern Cali
fornia road. ]. Waldo, formerly chairman
of the Texas Traffic association, and general
traffic manager of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas, has also been mentioned for the place.

Powerful Powdsrly Vows venrsanc,


PHILADELPHIA September N.-General
Master Workman Powderly has issued a cir
cuar to the Knights of Labor in which he re-
views the late strike and draws some conclu-
sions. He Acknowledges that it was clearly
evident after the first week that the men
would be beaten, but adds that 1t was nee
essary to teach the power that controls judges
and legislatures that it would be an eXpen-
sire undertaking to attempt to destroy the
manhood of those who created the wealth
that went to bribe public officials. To give
in the first week would have shown cowardice
and would pave the way for future attacks.
Tho experience gained by the Central man
agement in the loss of S15,000,0 900 to $2O,-
0O0,0 and the greater loss of public pat
ronage, will have a wholesome effect IN the
future. The strike was deliberately planned
in the Office of the New York Central d
Hudson railroad, and once inaugurated, 1t
was but just that they should get enough
of it."
The circular calls for the reprisal for al
legged outrages, in the following words:
During this strike men we're taken from
their homes without warrant of law, by a
body of armed mercenaries. They were
taken to be imprisoned in the depots of the
New York Central railroad, instead of to the
regularly established jails of the country.
They were taken away from the jurisdiction
of the lawful authorities of the places where
they resided. The constitution of the United
States was trampled in the mfre by Robert
Pinkerton, and ne did it beneath the shadow
of the capitol of the state of New York.
These outrages cry to heaven for vengeance,
and vengeance the people must have. The
next legislature of New York must be looked
to for such legislation as will abolish worse
form of brigandage than ever existed In
Italy.
He congratulates the strikers upon having
accomplished the following results:
''First-They have created a public senti-
ment that will drive the doubly cursed sys-
tenn of Plnkertonism from the land.
''Second-They have opened up the eyes of
the lion to the necessity for governmental
supervision of railways.
'Third-They have shown that one-sided
legislation is dangerous, and in future the
man who works must receive protection
from the law as well as the man who en-
ploys him.
"Fourth-Thay have demonstrated that be-
fore the law an association of men, whose
capital is their flesh, blood, muscle and brain,
must in future be recognized in the granting
of charters as well as the organization OF
dollars.
''Fifth-They have shown that the days
have gone by when the time serving politicians
can deceive the workingmen by pretended
friendship.
The circular concludes as follows:
SIN conclusion l ask our members to sus-
tain US in this struggle. 1t has only begun
Do not pay heed to rumors of mismanage-
ment. | ask you to redouble your efforts
until we wreak vengeance on the heads of the
real train wreckers by enactsng such legisla-
lion as will place all men on equality before
q law that no man or set of men will defy"

Vain Aonss of Employment.

New York, September 26.-Third Vice
President Webb, of the New York Central,
has returned from a trip over the system and
says he found matters just the same as be
fore the strike. He said that he would not
engage any of the strikers, and if new men
were wanted he would get them outside.
The strikers were now willing to come
back, because they had been ordered back,
and they would just as willingly go on a
strike again if ordered. No such men were
wanted.
Crowds of idle men still conRregate about
the yards, and in spite of Mr.. Webb's state
ment they feel that they viii gradually work
back into their old places.
