AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE ISSUED.

Upon tho Outoomo of tho Present Strug* rIc Depend* tho Life of tho Organ* Uatlon—Citizen* Asked to

Ahl In tho liattlc.

POWMKItLY APPKAI,.

NEW YOHK, AUFF. 22.—Never before has Mr. Powdorly, tho head oi the Knights, Leon personally in tho hoat of a contest like tho one believed to bo coming. He never yet ordered a strike, and feels some pride in the record of pence which he feels is his. Thero is little doubt, however, about his determination in this case. His men say ho is here to say, and the executive board says its headquarters during the strike, if one is ordered, will be in this city. It is clear that Mi. Powdorly and his cabinet intend, if the strike is mado ffenoral, that the responsibility shall bo brought just as closo as possible to the rank and file. This purpose underlies the order of tho board to Master Workman Leo to convene his district assembly also tho order which has pone up tho river to Albany to convene that district assembly on Monday. At these meetings the local assemblies will voice their disposition as to a general strike, and tho result will be that a fair consensus of tho opinion among the men may be had. The federation's supremo body will not meet till Saturday, and will probably communicate Its determination to the Knights bore that night or Sunday. The Albany district assembly, whose action will bo influential in tho evident plan laid out by Mr. "'owdurly to make the men themselves declare tho strike general, doos not meet till Monday, as stated. Tbo fair conclusion from the facts and circumstances Is that the grand stroke, if it is to come, will not fall before next week.

Mr. Powdorly has issued an appeal addressed "To the people." Ho repeats the charge against the company of discharging employes hecauso they have been leading members of the Knights of Labor and gives a resume of his interviews with Mr. Toucoy and Mr. Webb, the causes leading to the strike and the repeated efforts made by him and others to settle tho matter by arbitration. lie continues:

Finding all eflorts to effect a peaccablc nettlcmcnt of their grievances impossible, and being convinced that it was only a question of time when Knights would one and all bo disbarred unless they forfeited their manhood and abandoned their privileges as citizens of a free country by renouncing their rights to Join their fellows in an organization calculatcd to protect their just rights without Intrenching upon tho*e of others, the district executive board had no alt.jrnathv but to order & strike which they did.

Kvery thing that could In honor bo done to terminate the strike on an honorable basis for the men was done, nnd the alternative of unconditional and absolute surrender on the part of the men or a protect against the tyranny of theoUlcial of the New York Central & Hud son l»iver railroad wa« presented to us. Uuder the circumstances It would be unmanly. It would ic cowardly and unworthy of the sons of men who struggled nnd died fur the rights of humanity. "The public may have formed erroneous im presslons of the position of the Knights in the controversy. We do in pretend to dictate to the company that it shall not discharge its employes, but In all fuJrnesHthc discharged m&u should be told why In* is dismissed.

,4Wo

did not seek the quarrel. The general xecutive board knew nothing of it until it was thrust upon them and now that we have to face it we ask of the entire order of the Knights of Labor to come to our assistance with the means to win the strike. We are not craving for sympathy. We are not in need of moral .**up port. We have to Ught a power which owes its lofty bearing to the wealth it has piled up from the labor of its employe untold millions are at its command and we want money to carry on the struggle.

We ask all members of organized labor to come to our aid. Wc not only ask labor organizations, but we ask of the great public beyond our organl* \lions of lab«.r tt come to our relief. It is not bt cause a few cents more a day or somo paltry concession to the men was required thai this strike was precipitated. The real animus lies in the fact that our order has befln struggling with the questions which concern the control of trusts, corporations and syndicates by the government of the people. The allied forces of the Knights of Labor and the Farmers' Alliance are marching on to "Wash' ington to secure legislation favorable to the whole people and secure the repeal of certain unjust laws. It Is in the hope of turning our attention away from these mutters that this wurfare Is made on the part of the allied forces. "We are lighting against a power Tar more dangerous than that which laid down its arms ut Yorklown 100 years ago There the fight was with one king. To-day it is against a bun dred. one of whom said in an after dinner speech not long ago: 'There nro fifty men

Then our fathers fought for liberty now we are llghtin to maintain it. Then the enemy was 8,0.) miles away. To-day he Is intrenched in our own dominion. He has his fingers around our Legislatures, lie stands at the doors of Congress to bar out legislation in the interests of the masses. He presumes to dictate to tho Kxeeutive of the Nation. He attempts to strangle and corrupt the judiciary, and he does all of these by no shadow of divine right, but by the power of money wrung from the bending back of the railway lalwuvr wrung from the mortgages of farmers of the land: wrung from the business Interests of America wrung from the hearts of the best and noblest of the Nation's poor. "It is against such a power ns this, a power that care for no right bill Its own, that wo struggle: and. whether we win or lose In the present contest, the battle will go on until that power is weakened forever or the public is 'damned.'

Lor citizen?, to provoke men to anger and wrath, to shoot down thoso who asked for the right to bo hoard in their own behalf.

The conduct of the men since the strike began has been most orderly and commendablo, nnd until its closo no Knight of Labor will be found in nn unlawful act of any kind. Wo nro pledged to maintain the law. We will obey the legal commands of tho fitnte, but not of the Corporation which defies public opinion and has no regard for Justico when dealing with Its employes. Conciliation and arbitration can deal with the most Intricate questions of dispute.

The unchristian nUitudc of the New York Central officials Is best illustrated by the manner in which they violate the laws of tho land through their ngonts. During this strike Hobert Pinkerton is the agent of that railroad company. He advertises for men, they respond, and arc hired without regard to qualifications of manhood. Apparently the brute alone is nought for, and such creatures as will do any deed of desperation arc best appreciated."

Mr. Powdorly thon quotes the ailldavit of Adolph Polleshek, who, it is alleged, was hired by Robert Pinkerton, taken to Albany, handed a paper appointing him a special deputy shorifT of llensselear County and told to use his club and revolver freely. Mr. Powdorly continues: "It will be well to ask why blank commissions with the sheriffs namo attached are placed at the disposal of Robert IMnkerton, to be placed in the hands of Ignorant men vflio believe that, under this authority, they have the right to shoot citizens to death. "All working-men are alike interested in this controversy. All citizens are equally Interested In it, for It presents the query: 'Shall this company be regarded as a public carrier or as A public dictator** Had the fifty or sixty men who were discharged quit work all at once, and had they held responsible positions, the public would have the right to Inquire why they did it, and they would be wrong in withholding the information. The case is reversed and no reply will be given. No chance to settle the matter will be allowed. The Knights of Lalor hold themselves In readiness now and will continue to hold themselves ready to yield to tho will of the public in this matter. The company, on the other hand, holds itself above aud superior to public opinion. "II. Walker Webb stands to day the representative of over fcioo,(joo,oo0. He is new to the position and tho novelty of the situation bus turnod his head. Tho writyjr represents directly and indirectly over BO.OOO.OOd of workmen. Shall dollars alone bo heard and humanity remain sllentf Will dollars wiu when fiesb and blood are shot down In the streets of the cap! tal city of the Empire State at the dictation of this wealth! Shall a moneyed aristocracy rule and ruin without glvinz an account of why they dolt? "These qucsttons can best be answered by the 20,000,X) of industrialists of the United States, and they can best answer them by holding up tho hands of the men along the lino of the New York Central railroad, who nrc striving for tho prin clplc of Justlcc. Men who. strong in the justlcc of their position, ask to be heard, aud care not who benrs the story. I would hero ask the men still In the employ of the Now York Central whether It be not their interest ns true men to stand by and support those who are striking to vindicate the commou right to organize.

The geueral executive board will conduct this contest with all of their ability within the law and without violence. To do this wc will require funds, and that at once. Publicspirited citizens who believe In fair play are asked to contribute to the liberty fund in aid of the striking employes of the New York Central. Send all contributions to John W. Hayes, 811 North nroad street, Philadelphia, Pa.

"GenericMaster Workman, K. of L. Mr. Powdorly has also written a letter to Grand Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotivo Engineers, asking how that organization stands on tho strike. Threats tantamount to a dec laration of war are made in caso tho members of the brotherhood are not ordered out or are allowed to do the work of llremen in tho places of the strikers.

Mr. Powdorly seems lltUo disconcerted about tho rumors that the grand jury is considering the question of indicting the labor leaders for conspiracy, and although ho refusee to state what effect tho grand jury's action, if tho reports aro true, would havo on his movements, it is hardly likely ho would leave town on account of iu

Secretary Hayes, of the executive board, has announced that on Monday noxt at 10 o'clock at Albany a meeting of district would be heid, at which tho executive board would bo present for tho purpose of consultation. At this meeting each of tho local assemblies will send from three to live delegates, and there will be present from 000 to 700 members from that Boctlon of tho State lying adjacent to the Central road from New York to Huffalo.

Mr. Sweeney, of tbo Switchmen's Aid Association, said Thursday afternoon that tho supretno council may not in dorso the action of the chiefs of tho four orders, and it is purely supposition to say that they will order a general strike.

Vice-President Webb said that ho did not think the firemen would go out in such great numbers as had been stated, and he believed tho other employes of tho road who were not already out would for the greater part remain at their posts—in othor words, tho strike would not bo nearly so gigantic as the federation and tho Knights of Labor would havo people believe. Mr. Webb did not doubt that tho supreme council of the federation would call out tho mon, but ho was of opinion that tho number who would rospond A'ould not bo so groat after all.

The New York Central officials havo been making somo computations regarding the number of men who aro likely to go on strlko. They say thero aro 72,000 men employed on tho Now York Central road and between 00,000 and 70,000 on tho other roads of the Vandorbilt system. Of these men there arc on tho ontire Vandorbilt system 25,000 Knights of Labor and 0,000 of the federation. Thrco thousand men have left the Central's employ since the strike was declared.

HAVOC IX A CAliTltmOIi CHICAC.O, Aug. 22.—One man was instantly killed niul twenty-six persons were injured at 10:1.1 Thursday morning liy a teri-ille explosion of powder at the factory of the Standard Cartridge Company, situated 011 the Chicago, Hock Island & I'acilic railroad, four miles beyond liluo Island.

Through the carelessness of a Turkman who was using a hammer and chisel to open a large iron keg of powder a spark was struck, and Instantly all of the powder and cartridges in tho room were ignited. Thero was an instantaneous Hash, a deafening report,and tho bjjilding was shaken to its very foundation, while tho windows were blown to fragments. Of tho thirty people employed in the factory all but a few were at work 011 the second floor, where the explosion took place, nnd of this number nearly onehalf were girls ongagod in filling and packing cartridges. Hardly a person fti tho building escaped injury. Somo of tho frenzied people rushed down the stairway with their clothing ablaze, while others lay on tho floor unscoucious, bruised and burned almost to a crisp. One was killed outright.

The report of tho explosion was plainly heard at llluo Island, four milos distant. The men and girls woro liurled violently against tho wall or to tho floor, tho valuablo machinery was broken to pieccs and ruined, and tho building was set on lire. Foreman Kllckinger, by bis presence of mind succeeded in extinguishing the blazing clothes of tho shrieking victims, and the flames which had started in the shattered and splintered second floor were also quickly subdued. All this happened In less time than it takes to speak tho words. Then followed a scene of horror. Many of tho victims, almost naked, thoir charred clothing hanging upon scorched nnd blistered bodies, ran aimlessly about the buildings, crying out with the intensity of their pain and begging for some relief. Those who I were more serlousiy Injured lay on tho floor amid the smoking debris, somo moaning piteously and others uncor.Bcious. Charles Seidle lay doad whero he had fallen when a great iron fragment struck him in the abdomen. Tho loss will not be over 00(1.
