The New York workingmen are doing
far more than the temperance people
ever did to make Sunday a dav of rest,
as they have taken strong grounds
against Sunday shop and store selling.
They keep away from saloons, and thus
act, at least with consistency, and earn
the good opinion of the intelligent pub

to enforce the Sunday law at the request (
of the Central Labor union.
A state assembly is to be organized in (

Washington, Dec. 16. —In the United
States senate yesterday, Mr. Van Wyek
introduced a resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution for the
election of the United States senators
by the popular vote.
Farmers of north Wales are resisting
the collection of the tithes. In one sec

the collecting bailiffs from the farms
and escorted them out of the district.
Berlin, Dec. 21.—The reichstag has
appointed a commission to consider the
motion of the Socialist deputy, Kayser,
to authorize the holding of meetings of
workingmen for the consideration of
questions effecting salaries of and the
relations of employes toward their
employers.
Milwasxk, Dec. 21. —For the publi
cation of a scurrilous poem reflecting on
the integrity of the court in the trial of
the riot cases, Judge Sloan to-day sen
tenced Paul Grottkan, editor of the So
cialist organ, Arbeiter Zeitung, to thirty
days at hard labor.
San Francisco, Dec. 21. —The Ameri
can District and the San Francisco Dis
trict telegraph companies to-day con
ceded the demands of the striking mes
sengers for 75 cents a day of twelve
hours, and the boys will return to work '
to-morrow.
Columbia, S. C., Dec. 18.—Public'
opinion is very strong against VV. P.
Russell, state organizer of the Knights
of Labor, for organizing the negro la
borers in the rural districts into district
assemblies of the Knights of Labor.
Some flre-eating newspapers advise the
farmers to "spot all white men like
Russel,’’ and if they try to organize ne
gro Knights of Labor, to r n u them
from the neighborhood. It is consid
ered as actually criminal to array the
colored people against their white em
ployers. The legislature has appropri
ated money for the maintenance of
militia, which will be called out to sup
press any strikes. The senate has passed
a bill defining an organized strike as a
conspiracy and punishing it with im
prisonment for six months and a fine of
S2OO. The house will probably make it a
law.
The Rev. Sylvester Malone, the oldest
and most influential priest in Brooklyn,
says that Henry George's land doctrines
will benefit the poor without doing an
injustice to the rich,
A recent compilation shows the total
number of men m the European armies

Clkarjiild. Pa., Dec. 16. —Forty la
borers employed at the large tannery of
Fayerweather A Laydow were dis
charged to-day for joining the Knights
of Labor. Several hundred men are em
ployed by the firm, and a large nnmber
threaten to quit work if the discharged
men are not reinstated.
Pittsburg, Dec. 20.—The coke syndi
cate at a meeting this evening refused to
grant the demands of the workmen. A
general strike will probably follow this
action and 10,000 -men will be thrown
out of employment.
Cincinnati, Dec, 18.— The coopers’
strike is the only serious labor trouble
In this city. The difficulty between the
Cincinnati Spring company and forty of
its employee was amicably settled
Thursday evening. The men had been
on a strike for three months, caused by
the discharge of a Knight of Labor. Ne
gotiations between the district commit
tee and the employers, which have been
oo'ndncted in good temper, have resulted
in this fortunate adjustment, and all the
strikers wijl return to work Monday.
The Emerson A Fisher Carriage com
pany have withdrawn their iron-clad
agreement against the Knights of Labor,
and the men are being taken back as
rapidly as possible.
A prominent official of the Lasters’
union announces that an arrangement
had been arrived at between the Lis
ters’ anion and district 30, Knights of
Labor, by which farther complications
between the two organizations will be
avoided. The agreement provides that,
in case of trouble between employers
and either members of the Lasters’
anion or Knights of Labor, there shall
be no interference of one organization
with the other.
Professor Thompson of Lynn, Massa
chusetts, has discovered a new method
of welding metals. It is done by press
ing the pieces together forcibly and
passing an elfctrical current through
them. The resistance to the passage of
the current offered by the joints heats
it to the melting point, and the weld is
made in less time than it takes to tell it.
Goodwin & Co., cigarette-makers of
New York, have discharged all their
hands and put in machines. No wonder
there are 1,000,000 tramps on the roads
of this country.
Sinaloa Colonists.
No reliable information has been re
ceived from the colonists who left Den
ver for Sinaloa since their arrival at
Guaymas. Letters received from that

spirits. The Enqdirer expects to have
a letter from the colony for its next is
sue.

THAT “ORDER.”
Same Points on tke Situation of the
Men When It Was
Received.,
Editor Labor Enquirer.
Chicago, Dec. 1. — 2421 State street. —
Yonr last leader on onr $5,000 chief is
good as far as it goes, but you seem to
be in ignorance on some of the most
important points in this sad affair.
It most not be forgotten that when
Powderly’s telegram was received on
Wednesday there were then hanging
over the men the resolutions of the
packers demanding as a condition of
their re-employment an unqualified re- t
pudiation of their allegiance to the or
der. I question whether there is an
other chapter in the whole history of
the labor movement where a lot of men
were placed in such a predicament.
On one side stood the resolutions of
the. packers, saying to the men, “You
can only return on condition that you
renounce your allegiance to the Knights
of Labor.” On the other side stood
Powderly’s saying to Barrv, "If the men
refuse (to return under these conditions)
take their charters from them.”
I have often heard of the colored
preacher’s sermon in which he ex
claimed : “Bredern and sisters, der am
two roads in dis*world ; one leads to
hell and de adder to damnation I” I
always had some doubts of the truthful
ness of the above sermon until my expe
rience in the late stock vards strike.
Turn which way we mav we were threat
en! d with being placed outside of the
order. I could not believe that the
general master workmen would send
such an order had he known of the ex
istence of this resolution. I therefore
asked Brother Carlton —who arrived one
day after the telegram —whether
Brother Powderly knew of this. Carl
ton replied that he • did, as they were
both discussing it the night he (Carlton)
left Philadelphia. In summing -up the
feelings of the strikers, it runs about as
follows: -
First. It was criminally reckless to
send a telegram of such importance open
instead of in cipher.
Second. It was an insult to Barry,
who was on the field and should have
been consulted. It was treacherous to
Carlton, who had been sent here by the
general master workmen and then in
tercepted by this telegram before he
reached the city, thereby plainly adver
tising to the world that Barry and Carl
ton were two chumps in whose judgment
he (Powderly) had no confidence.
Third. If the telegram —which cost
about s2—was all that was necessary,
wby was it not sent immediately,
thereby saving the enormous expense in
volved in sending two members of the
board, besides sparing us all from the
humiliation and insults which we were
all subject to.
The large majority of the members
here are beginning to thing that some
of our leading officers are looking upon
the order as their “oyster,” while the
rank and file are “suckers” good enough
to pay initiation fees, dues and special
assessments. Fraternally,
Geo. A. Schilling,
The crv of humanity to-day is not for
charitv, but for justice. Let us give our
fellow men their just dues, then they’ll
not need benevolent institutions to sup
port them. A low, deep wail from the
London poor is just now ringing in the
ears of the world. Good men are col
lecting thousands of pounds to distribute
among them. That is not what they
want. Give them justice and they will
'ask no man for bread. Then they will
be content with their lot and the pro
fessional political agitator will not find
them such pliant tools in Ilia bands.
Ah ! these sturdy workmen are not pau
pers 1 They only ask for a fair chance
to work their own way in life. Unwise
chanty takes the manhood out of them.
Simple justice cultivates all that is no
blest and best in them. How many
have been ruined by too much charitv!
Justice never hurt a mortal. The tramp
who comes crawling to your back door
to beg a bite of bread, ready to rob you
when vour back is turned, might have
been a worthy citizen with his own
home if he had been justly dealt with
back in the years when an honest pur
pose lurked in his heart. Give us more
justice, even if we must have less charity,

Chicago, Dec. 22.— District Assembly
24 Knights of Labor has appointed a
committee of five which is engaged in
an investigation of the stock vards
strike, and it is asserted to-night with
seeming authority that the reason
for the investigation is that District As
sembly 57 (the packing house employes’
assembly) has caused a secret boycott to
be issued against tnose of the Chicago
packers who were particularly hostile
during the late strike. The two District
Assemblies, 24 and 67, embrace nearly
all the Knights in Chicago and Cook
county. District Assembly 24 and the
Seamen’s District Assembly 136 it is said
were asked to support No. 57,’s boycott.
The intention of District 57 (or the pack
ing town assembly) is to inaugurate, as
near as possible, a general boycott
against seyeralof the packers and make
it permanent.
The action of General Master Work
man Powderly in declaring the strike off
and ordering the men back at ten hours,
it is asserted, has led 1i a strong local
movement to have him summarily de
posed from his present position. It is
claimed that a special session of the
Knights’ General Assembly can be con
vened upon a call issued by five District
Assemblies from five states. Those fa
voring the move say that four other as
semblies besides No. 57 can be secured
beyond a doubt, and that such a call will
be made.
In this connection it is stated that T.

members of the General Executive
Board, who were sent to Chicago to set

Organize!
On every page of history stands out in
blood-red letters the motto: Might is
Right. At the head of every decree
issued by a potentate, and of every law
enacted by a class Parliament, those
who see can read : Might is Right
Every class in tarn mast win it rights ;
and the poor, who are many, come last,
because Might resides less in numbers
than in organized intelligence.
Therefore, Right extends as Liberty
expands. But he who wants right must
first have Might, in which alone his
freedom is safe. For wnat he cannot
take he shall not obtain; what he cannot
defend he shall not preserve.
Workingmen, you know vour wrongs.
No one but you can right them. Let no
question divide you. What to do
h>wtodoit is of little moment while
you can do nothing. First, be your own
masters. Intelligence you have, and
hearts, and knowledge enough to then
make the world what it should be.
Come together. Be one for all and all
for one. Assert your power bv organi

An “Ideal” Edition of Longfellow’s
Poems.
The dipiration of copyright is at last
bringing into really popular circulation
the works of some of the most celebrated
American authors, whose writings the
high cost of monopoly has kept within
the hands of the few. Alden, the Lit
erary Revolution publisher, has recently
brought out a number of the best books
by Hawthorne, Prescott, Emerson, Poe,
Cooper and others. He has now just
published a very pretty edition of Long
fellow’s poems so far as copyright has
expired. It is in the form which he is
making famous as the Ideal Edition
beautiful enough to be worthy of the
name —the type being large Long
Primer, the printing and binding (cloth)
in excellent taste. People who have
been used to buying Longfellow might
suppose the price of the handsome vol
ume to be a dollor or more —instead of
which Alden asks only 25 cents for it!
Postage, 5 cents extrh, if by mail.
Alden’s last catalogue, sixty-four small
quarty pages, which bre sends free to
anyone (his publications are not sold by
book-sellers, buy direct only), is a verit
able literary wonder in its attractions.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Preamble and Declaration of Principle*
of Till* Great and Growing
Order of Workingmen.
The alarming development and aggressive
ness of great capitalists aDd corporations, un
less checked, will Inevitably, lead to the
pauperization and hopeless degradation of
the tolling masses.
It is imperative, If we desire to enjoy the
lull blessings of life, that a check be placed
upon unjust accumulation, and the power for
evil of aggregated wealth.
This much-desired object can be accom
plished only by the united efforts of those
who obey the divine’ injunction, “In the
sweat of thv face shalt thou eat bread.”
Therefore we have rormed the Order of
Knights of Labor, for the purpose Of organiz
ing and directing the power of the Industrial
masses, not as a political party, for it is more
—ln It are crystallised sentiments and meas
ures for the benefit of the whole people, but
It should be borne In mind, when exercising
the right ol suffrage, that most of the objects
herein set lorth can only be obtained through
legislation, and that it is the duty of all to as
sist in nominating and supporting with their
votes only such candidates as will pledge
their support to those measures, regardless 01
party. But no one shall, however, be com
pelled to vote with the majority, and calling
upon all who believe In securing “the greatest
good to the greatest number,” to Join and as
sist us, we declare to the world that our aims
are:
I. To make Industrial and moral worth, not
wealth, the true standard of individual and
National greatness.
11. To secure to the workers the full enjoy
ment of the wealth they create, sufficient
leisure In which to develop tneir Intellectual,
moral and social faculties; all of the benefits,
recreation and pleasures of association; in a
word, to enable them to share in the gains
and honors of advancing civilization.
In order to secure these results, we demand
of the State:
111. The establishment of Bureaus of Labor
Statistics, that we may arrive at a correct
knowledge of the educational, moral and fi
nancial condition of the laboring masses.
IV. That the public lands, the heritage of
the people, be reserved for actual settlera; not
another acre for railroads or speculators, and
that all lands now held for speculative pur
poses be taxed to their full value.
V. The abrogation 01 all laws that do not
bear equally upon capital and labor, and the
removal of unjust technicalities, delays and
discriminations In the administration of
Justice.
VI. The adoption of measures providing
for the health and salety of those engaged In
mining, manufacturing and building indus
tries, and for indemnification to those engaged
therein for Injuries received through lack of
necessary safeguards.
VII The recognition by Incorporation, of
trades, unions, orders, and such other associa
tions* as may be organized by the working
masses to Improve their condition and pro
tect their rights.
VIII. The enactment of laws to compel
corporations to pay their employes weekly.
1 n lawful .money, for the labor of the preoed-
Ing week, and giving mechanics and laborers
a first lien upon the product of their labor to
the extent of their full wages.
IX. The abolition of the contract system on
National, State and Municipal works.
X. The enactment of laws providing for ar
bitration between employers and employed,
and to enforce the decision of the arbitrators.
XI. The prohibition by law of the employ
ment ol children under 15 years of age In
workshops, mine* and factories.
XII. To prohibit the hiring out of convict
labor.
XIII. That a graduated Income tax be
levied.
And we demand at the hands of Congress:
XIV. The establishment of a National mon
etary system, in which a circulating medium
lu necessary quantity shall Issue direct to the
people, without the Intervention of banks:
that all the National issne shall be full legal
tender In payment of all debts, public and
private; and that the Government shall not
guarantee or recognize any private banks, or
create any banking corporations.
XV. That Interest bearing-bonds, bills of
credit or notes shall never be issued by the
Government, but that, when need arises, the
emergency shall be met by Issue of legal ten
der, non-interest-beanng money.
XVI. That the importation of foreign labor
under contract be prohibited.
XVII. That, in connection w . .ut post
office, the Government shall or ul*e flnan
rial exchanges, safe deposits anw .jollities for
deposit of the sayings of the people in small
sums.
XVIII. That the Government shall obtain
possession, by purchase, under the rights ol
eminent domain, of all telegraphs, telephones
and railroads, and that hereafter no charter
or license be Issued to any corporation for
construction or operation of any. means of
transporting Intelligence, passengers or
height.
And while making the foregoing demands
upon the State and National Government, we
will endeavor to associate our own labors;
XIX. To establish co-operative institutions
such as will tend to superoede the wage sys
tem, by the Introduction of a co-operative In
dustrial system.
XX. To secure for both sexes equal pay lor
equal work.
XXI. To shorten the hours of labor by a
general refusal to work for more than eight
hours.
XXII. To pursuade employers to agree to
arbitrate all differences which may arise be
tween them and their employees, In order
that the bonds of sympathy between them
may be strengthened and that strikes may be
rendered unnecessary
