HE delegates and other
who are in attendance
on the Twelfth Genera
Assembly of Klights cf
Labor hva settled
down to work and their
time away from the con
vention ia largely devoted to committee
work Still much gossip is Indulged In
regarding the prooable outcome cf the
meeting both as regards the election of
officers and as to the future success or
failure of the order This mornings ses
sion was devoted to routine business
There was time for but two reports be
fore adjiurnment those being from Gen
eral Master Workman Powderly and Sac
retary Lithmen Mr Powderlys report
took two hours time time and Mr L tub
mens one hoar and twenty minutes
Both reports are said to bo interesting
the formers being a detailed review ol
the pist two years of his administration
The address ot Mr Powderly was given
to the press lat a this afternoon It opens
jwfth a long Introduction Vring various
Jeaaona why members have left the order
and enumerates tho many grievances
wnlcb baye oeen brought against it The
trials wh ch hava been borne by the order
ha says hava resulted in good and he
denied all charges of officially inviting
thorough examination of all
books and accounts Mdj changes ar >
iitsiredln the constitution so as to avoid
frequent chtngeslwhich are recommended
at each session He recommends total
abolition ot the sections which provide
for the appointment and government ol
examining organizers Tbe law as at
present framed is a dead letter The
treasury department shtuld be
h6ld responsible for all money
passing through Its channels At present
he thinks the financial ailrs are in too
many hands Oie responsible party
should be entrusted with the management
ct the finances After speaking of the
high estimation in which the order Is held
iy the many outside ot It and showing
the multiplicity of detail he must look af
ter he discussed the one
man power In the management
of tho order or rather In the
execution of the laws after they had been
made by the order end in this sense he
favors the one man power as ot the high
est benefit to the order Alter remaiking
the influence ot tho order on pnblic
oplnior he takes up the pending ques
tions saying The most important
questions that come before this body
for consideration arc those of finance land
and trans portation The great questions
are up before the people for discussion acd
solution They must be settled by the
people for It Is not to the interest ot pol
iticians to do so Thoie who control our
public highways are reaching out with a
hand ot steel to grasp and control the
government itself and it is indeed a bat
tle for supremacy If the mtssss remain
Idle and lndlCaront the classes will rule
through the power which comes to them
through the banKlne railway and
land monopolies Is is therefore
a duty whica we should not
neglect to eolect the questions
which I have pointed out and place them
prominently before onr members for dis
cussion I < we do onr duty and If proper
steps are taken wa can compel the cam
paign ot 1832 to bs t cht cut on these
llnec and we can so educate tho people
on thetc Issues that they can discern for
themselves the dfi renca between the
real friend and tho sham when he pre >
sents himself for the snfirigo of the peo
ple
He recommends that a special commit
tee ct three be appointed to take up the
matter He advocates the concentration
cf energies on these questions and fur
ther recommends the formation ot junior
assemblies for educating tha younger
working people
Matters ot Interest chiefly to the order
come in for a good share of attention
and he tnen favors a change of the
tlms ot holding1 te general assem
bly ballevlng it comes too cosa
to tho election Ha idvecttee equal pay
for equal work for women Of the
provisional committee he say Scarcely
had tho gavel fillen on the last act of the
Minneapolis session than traitors bands
were raised to destroy what it had taken
ysars of tlmo nnd patient work to con
struct The msjorlty ot the last conven
tion were right T < iey leclslsted as they
saw necessity for it They refused to
pass resolutions with which they were
not In sympithy and at the close
of the general assembly a meeting
was held in the city of Chicago with the
avowed purpose ot disrupting the whale
order At that meeting it was resolved
to organise wnat was called a pro
visional committee tor the purpose ot
ourifylng tha order Decision No
276 which Is herowith presented for the
action ot the general asiembly deals
with the question ot the right ot a mem
ber of tho provisional committee
to visit or otherwise maddle with
an assembly of this order
That decision should be approved
and a law passed which would promptly
and foraver exclude from the order the
number who would engiga In such das
tardly work as was Inaugurated at the
meeting of the Chicago provisional Re
forms spring from noDle impulses but
tha ImpuUe which fathered the assem
bling o the provisionals was begun In
hate nursed In envy and grew to its pres
ent slza in the hope that this great
order would one day be orcught
beneath the rule cf men who do not posi
sess the carnage or manhood to properly
rule themselves No besltency or mawk
ish sentiment should sway us at this ses
sion Let us occo and forevsr put it be
yond the power of any man to fight this
order or its principles and remain a mem
ber It they will tear down let them tear
from the outside and let every true and
honest mas In the order take
sides and elth < r go with
those miegulded creatures or stand
firm to defend the order from their vile
attacks Tneso attacks on the Knights
cf Labor come from the persistent op
position which has been shown to the
idee ot allowing other organizations to
counsel the Kaights ot Libor Do not
misunderstand me for I do not ieter to

of these mn met with but little euccesy
and lrom that tlma to the present
the members of that organi
zation have
bly to prove the lalalty of
tha charges of dishonesty which had been
circulated against him He showed from
the records that everything had been
satisfactorily explained to the general
assembly and his course was approved by
a resolution at the Datrolt meeting His
connection with the gsceral
Insurance secretaryship was in
nowise tha causs of tho
failure ot the system for it failed because
it was rotten He took up his election as
General secretory two ycers age explain

methods he hoped forever to silence hla

Kaight of Libor ia good standing and
he believed he did right in so doing but
it was loss ihan oneseventh
of hegsjwhola amount t at was
done He indignantly denltd tns
charge that ha falsified accounts exoleln
irg that he hed nothing to do with paying
the bills that work devolving on the
treasurer He further denied the claim
that he had employed non
union help at the general
offices He recommended that

and counselled great care in the selection
of officers for the ensuing year His res
ignation was appended as a part of tho
record He closed with as expression of
thanks to the general cfSaers for courte
sies and hope for the continued success
of the order
Among the delegates to tke general
assembly there 1b a general approval ot
the report of Grand Master Workmtn
Powderly and the Indications to night
are that his suggestions will be
adopted Of course there are dissenting
views but so far as can be ascertained
the majority Is with Powderly As James

due chiefly to the presentction of a single
issue which the presidents party accept

to trading of votes and the lack of per

was the popular revolt agates tha politi

assault uyon the business interests cf the

power with which Mr Blaine in his Paris
interview caught up the g ge of battle
offared in the presidents free trade mes
sige and summoned tha great army of
employers end wage earners of tha United
States to the Republican standard
The high character and proved abilities
of General Hsrrison and Mr Morton

greatly to tha party strength Ia addition
