While thostilkeis were working llko Her cules with theirslioiildeis against the caboose pushing it away , a diminutivebiakeman who was iccognl/ed as "a scab" appeared In the door and vehemently denounced the ciovvel.

The stalvvait icllovv hit him a gentle tap and leLt him un conscious em the hack. Later ho was revived with water anel cairied away. In the midst of thu trouble Conductor Geycr , who was to take charge of the train , appealed at the window of the caboose and blandished a pistol In the lace of the crowd , tlncatcnlng vengeance on any wlio attempted to molest him on tlio company's piopeity.

Giand Master Woihman Powderly and Ilajcsand Tinner , of tlm Knights of Labor , airlved in Washing ton tills morning and were at the capital at an early hour. Povvdeily rcpahed at once to Ihc room of the nppiopriatlon committee , where ho had a short chat with Randall. The special committee of the house to In- qulie Into the labor tioublcs of the southwest , leld Us first public session to-day. Among those piesent In attendance were Mr. Pow- dcily and Haves , Turner and McDowell , of Iho executive committee ot the Knights of Labor. Major Svvaync appealed as counsel for the lallwajs. Powdorly was the Hist wit ness. Ho repented at lengtli the stoiy and ilstoiy ot the recent tioubles In the south west , but piesented no new featuies In the matter. "While I was In the west , " said Powderly , " 1 beaid from the men of little abuses which I do not think the manager of the Missouri I'aclllc load knows anything about. Along ; bo lion Mountain rallioad they have a sys- : em of taking twenty-live cents a month irom the wages of a man who receives a dollar a day , and fitly cents fiom the wages ot a man who iccclvcs S3 a day , and so on In proportion tion , for what they call a hospital fund. Then the men claim that as soon as tltov arc taken sick they aie dlscliaigcd and are do- nled the right of entering the hospital. Then there aio Instances which can bo proved where the men have made contracts to buy land of the company on regular yeaily In stallments , nnu vvheic , having paid all but the last installment , they weio dischaiged horn employment. In that section ol coun tiy it is ( litleient trom the cast. Men cannot go Into tlio next town anil get situations , and the consequence has been , In at least one pat tlcular , that a man have been obliged to remain idle so long that he lost his piopcity. Tlio men claim that theio were buveral In stances ot that kind. " Cliaiinian Can yon have witnesses called betoie the committee to show these lacts. Powdeily Undoubtedly , it I amcoiiectly informed. Buchanan In your inquiries you have found that these causes ot discontent existed ? Powdcrly Yes. Cliaiimau Will you state the puiposo of the oigani/ation of thu Knights ot Libor. Whether Its pmposes aio the protection of the inteiests ot labor , and whether it Is peaceful in all its actions ? Powdeily The aim ot tlio organi/ation of the Knights ot Labor Is to beneiit the laborer and to secmo a better feeling between him ami Ills ouiplojer. All our methods are peaceful. We never counsel aii.vtliing ot a violent natnie. Mcmbeis ot thu oigani/ation may , once in awhile , commit an act ot vie lence. Wo can't help this. It is a matter beyond our control , because when the ir.cn leel that they have endiued wiong theio Is no law which can piopeily lostialn them. Chairman Do 1 understand that the Knights ot Labor , as an oigani/ation , do piO- tcct labor , not only on the laihoads but also in mines and factories' * Powderly We attempt to do that. Our association is Intended to bo a national one. We aim at having oiu membeib study the conditions by which they aie Miironnded not only their own conditions , but also those for whom they woik. Chaitman In order to pave the way lor In telligent action ? Powdeily Yes , sir. I have claimed that it is no more than right foi both to meet on equal terms and have a thoioiigh undei.stand- ing of the wants ot each oilier. And itbcenib to mo that until they do that they cannot piopeily lixtii ) their dllleiences. Chilli mm 1 do not ask yon to divulge any ot thesccietsof the Knights of Labor , but yon have stated that the obccts of the socie ty are to motecl the labor of the countiy so lur as possible against exactions or incorpoi- a leel capital. Poweleily To protect not only the labor of the countiy , but lo piotcct tlio uianufactuieis as well. Woelesiie that the inaiiulactuieib shall be in hiich a condition that they will bo able to pay good wages. We hav ono euiai rel with legitimate enterprise. If you discover tliat membeisof the Knights of Labor alonir the ralheiads have violated tlm. law ol the land , or its own laws and tlio committee will discover that fact we will bo as icaely lo assist In punishing them as we aio In up holding then rights. When 1 said 1 was will ing to expose eveiything in connection w itli tlio oigunlzation of those who manage the railioaels , or if onomaii in paiticular , would do the same thing. 1 spoke lulily and truth fully. 1 believe that the law of the land Is higher than any oiganUation. and when men violate the law of tno land cither ns Knfulits ot Labor , or as private cltl/ons , or as mem bers of coipoiatioiib they sliouhl bo punished for It , unet that his connection with an oigan- l/atlon should bo no shield for him. And I have thought , on tlio other hand , that a man who violates the law , and is woith millions ot dollars , should sutler the same as a poor man. 1 have made that .statement , and the people have seen tit to see In it an Invitation toanaichy. It that is anaichy , in thu name ot ( Sod , what Is law ? Bums Tlio country generally , and I doubt not properly , seems to place a good deal of conliucnco In your Integrity , jour intelligence and your patriotism. Being disposed to consider the question practically , 1 ask if you have given thought to Iho < im- _ tlmi lor legislative lemedy lor the evils to which you have allueled ? Povveleily I have never worked it up piopeily , I have thought it over , but hav o not lollovvod it to Its conclusion , limns Will yon bo able , during the sit tings of this committee , to gho us your views on the eiuestlon of the lemoily for the vvieuig ? Powderly How long is the committee likely to sit ? Chairman About two months. Powelerly I think 1 will bo able , because In that time yon will have an official dcclaia- tion fiom the chlet men of om oiganUation on that point. Bums 1 would suggest further , that It may bo well to cjiislder what , In jour judg ment. can be constitutionally done , and what might be done1 , and what ought lo bedone by amendments to tlio constitution. Poiv elerly I shall elo s.o , and I thank you for the suggestion. At this point the committee adjourned. A Itnnk Wir.MAMSPOiiT , Pa. , April 0.

It has jecn repented favoiably fiom the commerce committee , but It Is not llkelj to pass , for many leasons , the principal one of which is that membeis em both steles know It is Impos sible to secure the acquiescence of the senate In such ladlcol legislation.
