iiotrade union is formed without the
direct instigation of these fellows or at
least without a view to having their
support whenever the occas‘ion should
offer to seek it. The real Knights of
labor are a gang of scheming idlers
leagiied together and spread over the
whole country. to keep the working
people in a constant state of disatfcctioii
and rebellion against those. whose bread
they cut. and who consider the misguid-
cd laborers‘ unions not as equals. but as
subordinates and mere tools for thcir
own purimscs. While they make war
upon the employers through the trade un-
ions. they l)’ltllllllld these and con-
sume the blood and marrow of the
working people. They have a pccul~
iar way of playing their game. Skulk~
ing around the workshops and places
frequented by laborers. .they are not
long in tinding out the incompetent
among them. who are always dissatis-
tied. and learning the particulars of
the management of a mill. it is easy
for them to make the laborers believe
that they are wronged in some way or
the other, and to sow dissatisfaction
among them. until a union is formed
or a strike put in scene. right or wrong.
These fellows are the “agitators.“ {‘or-
ganizers.“ etc.. who, under the direc-
tion of a few {leading rascals from the
real U. K. L. In illustration we will
cite a few instances of their working.
“A labor union was formed at lIul-
yoke with 36 weavers of Connor‘s Wool-
en mill as members. The union is the
result of the strike which took Ilacc

ers being "docked" for imperfection in

4th.) That is. in other wurds. employ—
ers must be satisfied with botchwork
made by their hands and must pay
them in full as for standard work ac:
cording to the K. I... doctrine.
“At Yonkers. the striking weavers of
Alex. Smith a Son‘s carpet mills gath—
er afternoons in large crowds upon the
streets. chatting gaily as if they were
only out for a holiday. IThey had
been promised aid from without). A
conversation with some of them failed
to give any good reason why they
should have taken the presentyourse.

A (‘UNSTAXT READER.
.\ Timely Letter.
Editors of flu“ Scufiuu':~ticiits: Your
article in the last issue with rcfcri ncc to
the position of some of our business
lirnis. I think wits vcry timely and dc—
serving of full and careful consideration.
I have for a long time been surprised
that business men should be so short-
sighted as to give their virtual endorse»
me it to the methods which have bcvn
in operation hen- so long for injuring
the business and reputation of our city.
They are and have been cit—operating
with the man and his backers who have
no higher appreciation of what belongs
to legitimate business than to demand
and try to enforce general submission to
their dictation. regardless of every right
of business privilege and policy. \Vhen
‘iiiiy iuan or number of men and women
assume to say how their neighbors shall
conduct their business. insist on exer-
cising absolute control over invested cap.
ital. and deny individual right of action;
and to enforce their demands deliberate-
ly plot and connive to .riiin the manu~
facturing industries which are the very
life of the city. it is the ditty of those
who believe such assumption of authori-
ty. and such efforts to destroy. wrong.
to resist by all proper means.
I do not favor boycotting. The very
word is detestable to me. It savers of
tyranny and has a foreign association.
As has so repeatedly been said. it is un-
American. unnatural. and the weapon
of deiuagogues. anarchists. communists.
ignoramuses. and all that is hateful and
hurtful. It is a monster with a disposi-
tion. had it the Wer. that would make
life a misery an government a despot~
ism; that would kill liberty and crush
the weak. ’It is the demon of the nine-
teenth century. having its origin in the
poisoned minds and wicked hearts of the
haters of virtue and law. order and jus~
tree. and that would devastate the homes
and ruin the happiness of all who oppose
its Views. But do believe in self de~
tense. This precedes all laws. and it is
this tha' I urge in opposition to the ele-
ment in this communit represented by
the man Elleudorf. he fact. is indis-
potable that there are merchants in this
city who for some cause are truckling
to this man and his gang. that are for
nishing him weapons with which to car
ry on his war against the growth _and
prosperity of the place,~—tq put it in
plain English. who. to all inte‘ntaand
purposes. declare they believe it is right
to injure such an institution as the Ivor-
walk Lock 00.. and destroy it if possible;
to take away the support of nearly three
hundred laborers and those depending
on them; to injure business‘ to the ex~
tent of cutting off the: earmngs;utohge—
'sfe propert ; to rive tenan _ ni-
: boulders from boarding’tione
ea: patrons from the butcher and ba-
ker. the grocer. and all dealers.
Your article caused me to buy the
journal referred to. and I must copfess I
was surprised to find the firms I did sup

own their own interests. I did not ex-

then self protection demands that they
should be made to feel that the people of
this city do not intend to co-operate
with them in their course. as they do if
they patronixe them. “That is wanted.
and only what is wanted here. to com-
pletely and effectively put a stop to the
mad course of some who are vicious and
others who are foolish is a firm and de~
cided opposition to it. and the sooner it
comes the better for all concerned.
In twenty years there have not been
so many empty houses in this city as
now. and never was business generally
in a more precarious condition.
Those who have thought to get
gain by selling their sense of right and
justice in hopes of pecuniary benefit.
are reaping a harvest of bad debts. and
more will do so. if they participate in this
great wrong. -It is high time this com~
munity. those in it who believe in right.
took positive action on a matter of vital
importance. It is time it was known
that people who invest money here do
not place it at the disposal of a lot of
communists. headed by a man who has
threatened to throw trains off the track
on which were workmen who he oppos-
ed beciuisc they saw fit to use their
judgment itistcad of his. and whoscoiily
aim in life seems to be to antagonize
capital and labor. to breed discontent and
stir up strife. and who wants to rule
that he may ruin. This can be most cf-
fcctivcly done by every man and woman
acting up to their convictions. and using
their influence in a proper manner. Ev-
ery effort in resisting evil should be ptit
forth—not in passion. but in sober judg~
merit—with kindness but in firmness.
There is no need of bhister. but there is
a most decided call for an lltti‘tititprtiliiis~
ing opposition to the organized move-
ment which is operating against the web
fare of this conitiiunity. and a determin-
cd and persistent piirlmscto avoid afford.
ing it support directly or indirectly.
This is an individual matter. reader. and
lush you to fully consider your duty.
and then do it. “ ‘

A New fihverYacht Crosses the Ocean.
The New Haven Union has heard from
the Yale party on Mr. Phelps‘s yacht.
It says:—
The schooner yacht, the Brunhilde.
has arrived safely at. Cowes. This is the
vessel owned by John J. Phel . son of
William Walter Phelps. which sailed
from New Haven June 85 last. with
young Mr. Phelps and a party of Yale
students on board for a cruise around
the world. She is 118 feet long, twenty-
five feet beam and eleven feet depth of
hold. She is a bi boot all over. measur-
ing 250 tons an is rigged solely for
rough water work. After leaving New
Haven the Brunhilde went to the Yale-
Harvard bout race at New London and
June29 left that port. “C. H.“ writes
home an account of the trip across the
Atlantic. The second day out several of
the passengers were seasick. Then for
a week the yacht had delightful aail~
