AGAINST THE K, OF L.

The following circular has been issued from the office of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad: “The recent strike, the acts of lawlessness committed in connection therewith, the published correspondence between the leaders of the organization that ordered it, and tbe fact that many men now seeking employment state that they quit work from fear of personal violence, and did not dare resume work for the same reason, compel the management of this company to anannounce that it objects to its employes being members of the organization known as the ‘Knights of Labor.’ “The management is satisfied that membership in this particular organization is inconsistent with faithful and efficient ser vice to the company, arid is likely at any time to prevent it from properly dischargng its duties to the public. You will at once take such action as will bring this circular to the attention of the employes n your respective departments.”
