The DaOu News tays The following secret circular has been received by tho Knights of Labor of Chicago and will be read In the various daring the coming week: To (As Order Ererytr tens, Chrmitng: Nob Obobr or yhb Kxiobts or Lasob or awma, PHTT.APauHTA. 1 Mar A Tha response to the secret el renter Issued on Marofc has been so generous end the Indorsement of the aentlmente contained In It has been so unanimous that I feel encouraged aad etraufftheBod la the Nearly four thffinffim assemblies bare pledged, them-aelvrn to set on the ad vies contained in tha circular of March It I.faelthat it ouljre-qulres tha coming to the front of the real men of our order to set us right before the world. We hare been losing ground, so far aa nubile 'opinion is eoneerned, for some time. 1 One of the onuses Is that wa have air lowed things to he done under, the name of the Knights of Labor for whleh the organization waa in no way responsible. I nk of our members to keep a Jealous eye upon the doings of the men wh 10 never labor and when they charge any thing to an order In your locality eat the seal of your condem nation upon it at once by denying it.

If a paper eritloisee the Knights of Labor or Its offioen do not boycott It, and If you have any sueh boycotts on, remove them. A Journal not long since made some uncomplimentary allusions to the General Master Workman of the Knights of Labor. At the next meeting of tbe nearest assembly a motion was. cast to boycott the paper; wot that alone, but every person who advertised In the columns of the paper. I wrote to the assembly asking that they remove the boycott and It was done, we must bear fa mind that our General Master Workmen is only a man and not above criticism.

we demand for ourselves the right of free speech. We can not consistently deny It to others. We must tolerate fair, open criticism. If a reply is necessary make It in a gentlemanly, dignified manner. If wa are eritlelsed or abnoed by a blackguard then treat it as you would tbe blackguard himself.

In silence. That our alms and objects are good is no reason why our members should be regarded as beings of superior build or material. We are no more the salt of tbe earth than the millions of unknown toilers who do tee work of tbe world. In our dealings with laborers and capitalists we must deal Justly and fairly by them. If wo would have equity done to us we must In turn do equity to others.

That is the aim of the Knights of Labor and must not be lost sight of In the future. Let 'me direct your attention to a few little abuses: 1 find that wherever a strike occurs appeals for aid are scattered broadcast among the assemblies. Don't pay one cent for such purposes in future unless the appeal comes direct from your own district assembly or from the geu oral assembly. If boycott notices ara sent to you burn them. I nave in my possession over 400 boycott notices wh eh were sent to assemblies with a request that they be acted on.

Let me mention some of them. A member is editing a paper. He rears a rival and proceeds to get Into an altercation with him. boycotts him and asks the order to carry it A certain paper is influential in one or the other political parties. Members of tbe opposing party conceive the idea of gettinj rid of tne paper and they invoke the aid the Knights of Labor, first taking the pro-caution to have the paper in question say something uncomplimentary of the Knights of Labor.

In fact, our order has been used as a tail for a hundred different kites, and in future it must soar aloft free from all of them 1 hate the word boycott. I was boycotted ten years, and could not get work at my trade trF for months. It is a bad practice; it has been banded to ua by the use for it, only when capitalists. 1 hare no else fails. nly when every thing Appeals for aid, circulars, petitions, adrer- tisements of every kind are scattered every-where through the order.

1 copy a letter which comes to me on the subject: A large part of our time has been snent in reading boycott notices and appeals for aid, keeping until twelve o'clock. We were led to be- Here the Knights of Labor to be an educational institution but this kind of education is not productive of good. We hare no time for instruction. What do you adviso us to dor 1 advised them to either burn or table these matters. Now ask of the secretary of each assembly to do the same.

If jour journal was not bovcottcd by our members it eould be innde the medium of communlcntions between the gcnoral officers and the order, but the journnl is not read by ouo-quartcr of the assemblies. Some assemblies send out documents In envelopes addressed to: Secretary of Assembly No. In many places tbe secretaries have been discharged because of this practice. No member has tho right to address another fn that way, and if it la ever practiced again the offender will be punished. In future, the general executive board must not be Interfered with in the perforin anco of its duty.

If you have confidence in them, sustain them and obey them; if not ask for their resignations. While the board was endeavoring to settle the southwest troublo assemblies in some places with tbe best or intentions no doubt were passing and publishing resolutions condemning Jay Gould. These things did no good; on the contrary, they were injurious. In tine settlement of troubles it becomes the duty of the executive board to meet everybody and go everywhere. While they are doing, this they must not be hampered bv tha actions of those who do not know what their task Is.

Keep quiet, let Sour officers do their best, and If you can not nd a way to aid them do not retard their progress. Resolutions do not prevent land stealings, stock water. ng or gsmDling In the necessaries of life. If 1 hn-J my roiud made up to rob a bank at midnight, a string of res-olut'ons as long ns tbe moral law protesting against my contemplated action would not influence me a particle, but if some Interested party would take the troublo to study up the quest-ons and won ill inform himself as to my right to rob the bank and would stand gnard at tbe door of the vault. I would not rob it at midnight If lie did his duty, and wliat we want from every member fs not gush or windy resolutions about our ghts.

We know we have rights without passing resolutions. Hen who think, study and act are required. The general assembly will meet in special session on May 25 In the city of Cleveland. From the receipt of this letter you must not address any communications to me, nor need yon expect an answer if you do. I have thousands of letters piled up around me now and they never can be road, much lose answered, by one man.

During and sinee my Illness the mail delivered at my house has exceeded SOU letters a day. They come from everybody and everywhere. I must play the part of wheel hone Instead of leader of a great movement, and our own members are responsible for it I ask, through the Journal, that no ono send letters to roe. I am told by some to get help. If 1 had fifty assistants It would do no good, for It takes my whole time to read one-half or the letters, and in tne middle of my work 1 am waited on by some com- aftor com- story.

From now until the general assembly meets I will receive no committees, answer no letters. I must formulate a plan for tha future, and will not be interfered with. Let me repeat, I will receive no commit-' tees, answer no letters, nor will I go anywhere at the request or members of assemblies. This Is Imperative. I must have a chanee to do something of benefit for the order, and I ean not do it if I am to sit for eighteen hours a day reading letters which have been answered and reanswered In the Journal and constitution.

What I will any to the general assembly will be to the entire order, and you must give me time to prepare it. We hare had some trouble from drinking members and from men who talk about buying guns and dynamite. 1 If the man who possess money enough to buy guns and dynamite would Invest It in tea purchase of some well selected work on labor they would put tho money to good uee. We will never need tee guns or dynamite in this country, lt ts my opinion that the man who does not study the politics of the Nation -and tbe wonts of our penis would make but use of a rifle. The men who ean not vote intelligently and who will not watch the- man ha votes to br after he Is elected, can not be depended 'he bend, can not work out upon to use gun or dynamite.

If the bend, or man. os now confronting us, hand will never eolve it. If 1 kill my enemy 1 alienee him, it la true) but I don't eodvlnee I would make a convert rather than a corpse of Men who own capital are not our enemies, heidgoo If that theory horn good tho workingman of today.
