There was great extritement in Spring
field 0., Wednesday over the dismissal
of a big force of Knights of [.‘iltul‘ lroin
the Blur Street Champion Reaper works.
The workmen claim that the number
discharged will reach 600 or 700. The
foremi-n in the works. it is said. went
through the shops Tuesday and asked
every man if he was a Knight of Labor.
His answer was entered opposite his
name. \Vlien time came for quitiug
wurk those who had admitted belonging
to the Knights of Labor were either
paidotl' at once or told to call “’ediies-
day and get their money. The action
came like a bombshell to the men. and
the creates! excitement prevailed. There
are 3.000 knights at work in the various
shops of Springfield. and if the affair
develops into a general strike it will be
serious. .\Ir. “'hltcly. the proprietor
said Tuesday. “I don‘t know just how
many men were discharged: I think
about 300. They a". generally distri~
biited through the different departments
of the shops. ()ur shops will be run—
ning wiiha full number of hands by
Monday at least. We shall send to
various cities throughout the state for
