When the socialists belonging to dis

rick Murphy, ex-secretary Of district
assembly 40, they forfeited all rights
and privileges of membership in the
general organization. Thomas b. Nc.

board Of the Knights Of Labor, speak
ing to reporter tonight, said:
"The bolt of the socialists is not at
all q serious affair. It does not affect
either district assembly 40 or the
knights of Labor. By their own act,
the socialists have expelled themselves
from the Knights of Labor. Under
section 81 of our laws, a withdrawal
practically amounts to an expulsion. "

President Hill. Of the Great North

strike has not up to this time amounted
to any thing. except that about 100 men
have been thrown out Of employment.
The abortive strike, he further says,
was the last echo Of the war against the
railroads inaugurated by the American
Railway Union in Chicago. As Mr..
Debs was the leader of the attacking
forces in that war, he is the one per-
son to be held accountable for its re.
suits. Indeed. he himself, has de
clared that he accepts the responsibility
for the war and for all the conse
Quences ensuing therefrom. One of the
consequences now appearing is the loss
of employment by 100 misguided men,
probably representing nearly as many
dependent families.

The railroads should push the move
ment to compel Pullman to reduce the
price of upper berths in sleeping cars.
An upper berth isn't worth as much
money as lower one-at least people
won't pay as much for an upper if they
can help it. At fifty cents less it is
quite probable that the uppers in any
particular car would be sold as quickly
as the lowers.

Boston. Dec. Alt is the general

that the opening of the New York ex-

in Boston. They say the sales Of for

in Boston than in New York, and the
sales Of domestic were several times as
large. They say this fact alone is evi.
dence enough to show. that the estab-
lishment Of the exchange in New York
will not harm the wool merchants Of
Boston. As far as known, there has
