Coonery ? is sorry that the article on the Knights of Labor in the March 6, 1886 Freeman's Journal was published at all. He does not see how O.G. Conway can say the principles of the K of L do not conflict with Christian teachings, for he says anyone who has read the principles can see at once that the K. of L. is atheistic, anti-Christian, socialistic, revolutionary, and so on. He hopes McMaster will contradict the K. of L. immediately, and use all his influence to restrict them by law besides. Coonery ? himself knows several people who had to give up their business because they were boycotted when their opinions differed from that of the K. of L., consequently he feels that, if all are to be subject to threats and boycotts, the sooner all get out of this country, the better. Of late several swindling and false advertisements have appeared in the Freeman's Journal. For instance, that of Hallets and Company, for the purpose of spreading infidel and trashy papers and periodicals, was a swindle, as was that of Faschias. He asks that his name be not used in connection with these things. Included are two clippings relating to the Knights of Labor—the source and date of neither being given. :: I-2-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
