More Odious.

The tyranny of strikers and Knights of Labor becomes more and more odious, as its details are known. A master plumber is forbidden to employ his own sons as apprentices; a widow who keeps a little shop is threatened with the loss of patronage unless she stops her subscription to a newspaper that has offended some union printers; five peaceable workmen, minding their own business, are set upon and beaten by members of the Empire Protective Association, because they will not rot in idleness at the demands of its officials. Let us have done with all nonsense about the rights of labor, and with milk and water compliments to demagogues, who are posing as philanthropists. It is time to call them by their right names, and to treat them as conspirators against liberty, and as law-breakers and plunderers.—New York Sun.
