the question was such a bread ene nud open epen epen

ferred net te attempt te answer It, without
first fortifying himself with papers and docu decu docu

Curtln then atked him wnat was the cause or
the disturbance exUtlng in Western locali
ties. Mr. Powderly said that it had been er
roneously ropertod that the strike was owing
le the discharge by the Missouri Pacific or a
man by the name or Hall, but this was only
ene of many causes that led te the strike.
In support of this he read the statement
put out by the St, Leuis Knights of Laber,
reciting their grievances, low salaries, long
hours of service, etc Mr. Curtln then asked
the witness what wero the object and alma
of the Knights of Laber organization. Its
object, Mr. Powderly said, was te protect
labor against tlie exaction of employers. The
aims et the organization were entirely peace
ful, but of ceurse liable te be misunderstood
by its own members. He assured the com
mittee that If it wero found that Knights of
Laber In the west had violated the laws
of the land, the organization would be
as ready te help punish them a it
Is te aid them lu rodresslng wrong. With
tlie organization, the laws of the laud stand
high abeve any organization or corporation.
When asked what was the attitude or the
organization towards strikes and boycotts,
Mr. Powderly said It aimed te adjust nil dif
ferences by conciliation mid arbitration. It
had never legislated ou strikes, but had re
cently legislated ou boycotts, te restrain them.
The matter et ordering a slrike was left le
