Inronds of Machinery.

lnrOnuS or machinery.
The address of General Worthy Foreman
Bishop also dealt with the attacks made
upon the Knights of Labor by the revolving
members, and made an appeal for stronger
labor organizations because of the "ab-
normal progress made by concentrated
wealth and the fact that it is constantly
more firmly entrenching itself behind bar
riers which every day becomes more diff
cult to overthrow" He called attention to
the evolution of machinery during the last
few Years and the elimination OF human
skill from all forms of productive industry.
This has gone on he said. until the typo
graphical compositor, the cigar maker, the
locomotive engineer, the skilled worker in
wood and other craftsmen hitherto con-
sidered safe from the general danger have
this year seen the final quietus of their
hopes In the near future the common
laborer' will be a fitting universal appel
lation.'

Civil Service Extension.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I have noted with much interest that
certain officials are considering the advisa-
biity of placing chiefs of divisions and
other higher-salaried employees under the
protection of the civil service, which no
doubt would be for the good of the service,
but not yet have 1 seen where these officials
are considering the advisability of placing
under the classified service a far greater
number of men in government employ who,
without doubt. rule, perform far great
er service to the government than many
who have been so protected. I refer to the
employees classed as laborers under the diff
ferent bureaus. OF these employees two-thirds
do clerical work. To my knowledge a great
many of them work along with $1,000 and
$1,000 clerks and are required to perform
as much service. Then why discriminate
against them by putting all other employees
under the classified service and leave these
men and women at the mercy of politicians?
If they do not "divy up at election time
they are discharged, and have no recourse
but to go out. In fairness and justice put
these men under the classified service ard
protect their .heads" from the politicians
AK" and if they are competent, as many
of them are, place them in line of promo
ton or employ enough of them only 20 do
the laborers' work, and do not require them
to perform clerical duties of high-saIaried
clerks. < ~ JUSTICE

The Bank Note boycott.

after carefully reviewing the wreck and
ruin wrought by the money power and the
designs of the sound money clubs which
propose bonds and gatling guns for a solu-
ton of the labor question, I issued boy
colt on the notes of national banks, and if
l were to die tomorrow l would declare it
the most righteous act of my life. 1t eX-
posed the unsound money of the sound
money advocates, threw plutocracy on the
defensive and forced the national banks
into humliatng confession of their pre-
poSterous acts of bad faith with the people.
AMI now l urge this general assembly to
indcrse that boycott AMI give it every pos
sible force Of official sanction. The con-
fiict between the working people and the
idle holders of idle capital is inevitable.
The wealth of the many is gravitating to
the few with increasing ratio, and labor
is drifting toward serfdom faster than ever
before.
II did not join the knights of Labor for
the mere sake of organization. 1 do not
now advocate its principles for the mere
sake of organization, but to curb the pow
ers and combat the combinations that are
robbing labor of the fruits of its toll If
cannot do this 1 have mistaken the pur-
pose of this organization, and its declara-
ton of principles is snare and delu-
sion.
During the year passed since the New
Orleans session l have been considerably
hampered in the work through i'll health,
but have labored with what ability / pos
Sessed for the success of our order and its
principles, and l feel under lasting obliga-
tons to our ever loyal members and the
friends of our cause for their kind assist
ance and cordial cooperation in the cause
so near and lear to us all. Whatever
honor and distinction has been conferred
upon me, l owe to the knights of labor,
and in my humble way will serve the order
faithfully to the end, whether a general
officer or private member. Trusting in the
fidelity of the representatives here as
sembled, thanking them for their unfalter-
hF,Ai
be productive of great good to the poor, but
deserving toilers, 1 repledge to you my best
efforts in the cause of knShthood."
