To All Labor O'mnlxattons:
Men and ISkothi.us—O n the night of
Aug, 9 a strike began on the New York
Central And Hudson River railroad, in¬
volving about 8,000 met! iu the employ of
the said road, who were members of a
great labor organization known as the
Knights of Labor. The reason set forth
by Mr. T. V. Powderly, chief executive of
the order, may be summarized as follows:
The peremptory discharge of between
fifty and sixty men, employes of the road
und members of the Kuights of Labor,
because they were Knights of Labor,
without giving them any reason what-
sver for tbe discharge.
Prior to the strike the men involved
nought through the representives of the
order to have their grievances adjusted,
but their appeal being ’disregarded, a
striko was inaugurated.
After giving details about the visit of
Grand Master Workman Powderly to
Mr. Webb, the third vice tVampted president of
the road, with whom he to
settle the trouble, of the report of refers the to
the calling the convention su¬
preme council of the United Orders of
Railway employes, aud says:
The council having beard the state¬
ments ot its members, who had vis¬
ited New York for the purpose of ascer¬
taining tho true condition of affairs, ex¬
haustively discussed every important
proposition and arrived at conclusion as
follows:
First—That the position of the Knights
of Labor, as set forth by T. V. Powderly,
grand master workman, and the general
executive board of the Knights of Labor,
meets with ou? unqualified approval.
SecMid—That the oourse pursued by H.
Walter Webb toward Mr. Powderly and
the Knights of Labor, notwithstanding
his declarations to the contrary, evinces a
purpose to disrupt and destroy labor or¬
ganizations on the New York Central and
Hudson railroad, as was done by Austin
Corbin Third—That on the Philadelphia and Reading.
the policy of H. Walter
Webb is despotic to au extant that out¬
rages every principle of American citizen¬
ship, and if generally adopted, would, If
successful, reduoe American workingmen
to tho degraded condition of serfs.
Fourth—That H. Walter Webb, by the
employment of Pinkerton thieves, thugs
aud murdferers, vile wretches from the
slums and brothels of New York and
other cities, to kill workingmen because
they dared to protest Against his rule, and
strike for their rights, is guilty of a crime
of such enormity as will Associate to the
name of H. Walter Webb forever with
those who, dressed in a little brief author¬
ity, have used their money to secure
power to degrade their fellow-men.
Fifth—That the efforts now being put
forth by H. Walter Webb to destroy the
Knights of' Labor would, were circum¬
stances changed, in -like manner be made
to destroy (organizations of engineers,
-firemen, conductors, trainmen and switch¬
men, and, if successful, it is only a ques¬
tion of time when u similar effort will be
made to seal the fate of other labor organ¬
izations.
Sixth—That II. Walter Webb, by the
course he has pursue; toward the Knights
of Labor aud the rcprvv.:::tatives of labor
organizations,' has Stenya a total disre¬
gard of those priacip'es of citizen's sov¬
ereignty, dear to every American worthy
of tint name, and considering only Us
money power and the corporate power of
the company he represents, his acts,
which speak louder than wdrds, say, in
the language of W. H. Vanderbilt, once
the ahtocrat of tbe New York Central,
^The public be damned.”
Seventh—H. Walter Webb seeks to sup¬
port his arrogant attitude towards work¬
ingmen and labor organizations by an-
a ou Bclf)-^ that the New York Centra! and
Hudson liivtr railroad is private property
and tnaTEis acts in tbs. treatment of his
employes is in no sense a matter of public
concern; that he can with impunity dis¬
charge men and remand them to idleness
and poverty, aud render them homeless
wanderers without giving any reason or
explanation whatever for his conduct, dis¬
regarding the fact that tbe corporation for
which he plays autocrat is a tiling created
by laws, in tbe making y* which, the men
he seek* to degrade have a voice, which,
once united, will bring his corporation to
the bar of justice, where his millions and
the other millions he represents, will
cease to be potential in directing ques¬
tions of right.
In view of the foregoing facts, the su¬
preme council puts upon its record its
unanimous and unqualified approval of
the strike on the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad for the couse set
forth by T. V. Powderly, general master
workman, as also the efforts made by Mr.
Powderly'to bring the strike to an honor¬
able termination. In this gZfieral expres¬
sion of ‘approval of the action of the
Knights of Labor the course of Vies Pres¬
ident Webb is as unequivocally con¬
demned.
The power of the supreme council in the
matter of the strike has been exerted to
aid the Knights of Labor, through their
representatives, -to secure the recogni¬
tion of their order by the officials of a rich
and jji.arrfnl corporation, to socure for
worx.rvmca, tbe victims of autocratic
power, a hearing, and to perform such

the ci.. , rieas, d<-m mstrating sym¬
pathy a.;-. i„ so I will, i.itreby aiding the
Knights of Labor to bring the strike to a
close upon piim.ip'.n, of right and justice.
In this, the council met with failure, ow¬
ing to the autocratic attitude of H. Wal¬
ter Webb.
It now becomes necessary for the su¬
preme council to **yv that owing to the
fact that the <vtkr o! tbe Knights of
labor! * not a member ol the Federation
of Railway Employes, the laws of the
MUFFIN GEORGIA THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 28 . 1890 .
supremo rAj5.il do not permit Its doing
more than It has done to aid the Knights
o! Labor, and its inability to participate
otherwise iu the strike is now known and
appreciated by Mr. Pdwderly.
Referring to the laws of the supreme
council relating to strikes, the matter is
concisely presented -as follows; In the
first place it the members of the organisa¬
tion ou any railroad has a grievance, it is
submitted to the proper officers of the
road by the local grievance committee.
In event of failure to obtain satisfaction
the chief executive officer of the order hav¬
ing the grievance is called upon, aud in
connection with the committee seeks to
amicably adjust the differences.
If failure still attends the efforts to ad¬
Is just tho trouble, then the Supreme council
convened at the headquarter* of tbs
railroad officials, with whom a conference
is requested its influence is excited to
obtain a seMKnent alike and just to all
parties.
If failiirc still follows effar!a-to remove
the cause of complaint, an i the council
by a unanimous vote decides tiie grievance
to be of such gravity as to justify a
strike , it is promptly ordered, in which
event HjliTnemborsUf ffie'va organi¬
zations employed oa the road where the
grievance exist, viz., firemen, conductors,
trainmen and switchmen abandon their
work.
In conclusion, the supreme council
places upon its high appreciation of the
manliness of the Knights of Labor em¬
ployed on the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad in struggling to
maintain workingman a principle the eontinlT^ saegri to to .fUl every
on men
who love justice and hope for the tri¬
umph of right over wrong as flagrant as
ever stained the pages of history.
