THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR AND C. F. U
Letter of Gompers Says Hostile Delegates
Should Not Be Retained in Council.

The question as 10 whether or not the knights of
Labor should be represented in the Central Fed
Grated Union under the charter granted to IL by the
American Federation Of Labor again came up be-
fore the Central Federated Union yesterday. On
Sunday week the secretary had been directed to
write TO President Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor to ask what the precise conditions
were under which the charter obtained. The
secretary apparently had not written to Mr.. Com
pers because he found a letter on file from the
latter on the same subject dated January "a, 1901
which he read ct yesterdays meeting The part of
7he letter TO which the secretary called particular
attention was follows:
Section J. Article XII Of the constitution provides
that local central body should admit TO or
ganization that owes its allegiance to any other
body hostile to any affiliated organization The
declarations policy and actions of organization
must determine 10 whether It is antagonstic or
owes it's allegiance to organization which is an
lagonistic to the trades union movement mere
name counts for nothing.
Herman Robinson financial secretary, who is
general organizer for the American Federation of
Labor said that the constitution of the American
Federation OF Labor should be lived up TO- Some or
the delegates appeared 10 think this meant that the
knights OF Labor unions should be expelled There
was good deal OF crossfre the subject. Some
OF the federation unions well the knights OF
Labor unions held that the Gompers letter allowed
the knights TO remain as long their locals showed
hostile feeling TO the American Federation of
Labor. 1t finally decided TO refer the entire
case TO the coming convention OF the American
Federation of Labor in Boston in September.

SHOOT At MODS TO KILL.
AdUice of DR.. Macarthur to Sherfs
Confronted by Lynchers.

The Rev. DR.. Robert S. Macarthur, pastor OF
the Calvary Baptist Church. last night denounced
lynching and anarchy, saying in part:
Justice Brewer struck a true note when he said
that lynchers were murderers. He formulated the
best thought of the best American people when ha
made that statement. Anarchy slew our beloved
President and the satanic spirit In rotous
strikers and in satanic ynchers still stalks through
the land
A mob is wild beast. mob has no brains to
think. no breast TO feel and reason to Judge
between right and wrong When democracy be-
comes mobocracy the days OF the republic will
be numbered. Mob law is one of the greatest dan
gers in a republican form OF government 1t is
anarchy, pure and simple. IL is vastly more dan
gerous in republic than in "a monarchy. II re-
solves society into savagery. 1t brutazes and de-
moralzes all who participate In it. II puts brute
force IN the place OF law and vengeance in the
place of Justice II is treason TO the republic and
q dishonor 10 humanity.
Ours is the only country on the globe that
roasts at the stake men uncondemned and untried.
There isn't spot to-day in Darkest Africa, or in
any other pagan land, where such atrocities are
committed Nowhere under the far flung British
flag floating over an empire that girdles the globe
are lynchngs known possible. How shall we
prevent the of these horrible lynchines?
Speedy trial and just condemnation by the courts
viii have influence in that direction But IL a
court denied prisoner. however nernous his crime
his rights before that Law, then the court becomes

the mob. Courts must not be goaded by popular
sentiment into executioners OF vengeance instead
of infiicters of justice.
We must insist that sheriffs and other officers OF
law shall be fearless In the defence OF their
prisoners. though they be guilty of the most
awful crimes. In order to do they may have
to shoot 10 kill No who knows my spirit
will charge me with cruelty in feeling or action.
But solemniy declare. as minister OF the gospel
of Jesus Christ. a preacher OF the gospel OF
peace as a patriotic American citizen that the
majesty of the law must be maintained. even IL
rioters must be shot. Public officials guilty
OF wrong mob when they shoot into the air.
AS a rule leaders of mobs ruffians and hood
iums: and few dead rioters will have a wholesome
deterrent effect upon sO-called respectable cl-
who sometimes sympathize with mobs. Most
OF all the sentiment OF obedience to lust laws must
be emphasized by the pulpit and the press America
STANDS to-day Inundated before the civilized world
because of the horrible lynchngs perpetrated under
her nag.
/ believe there have gone out words from the
Chautauqua Assembly which will revolutionize the
thinking people of this country. and Will soon wipe
out the disgraces which have made America blush
in the sight OF the civilized world
