audience on the Knights OF Labor orgariza
tion. J. d. Jost presided. Mr. Litchman i
an organizer Of the Order, and its Past Grsnt
Secretary. He outlined the purposes Of tn
union, which is to unite all wage-winners il
efforts to better their condition and elevat
labor. He sketched the wealth, resource
and strength of the American States and en-
iarged upon the danger 70 labor from tn
misuse Of aggregated wealth in the hands o
the few. All the wealth Of the country h,
held to be the result of the labor of the coun
try. Civilization was b9st advanced by pro
noting education in its broadest sense. Tha
is not a complete civilization that brings {,
the laborer simply food, raiment and protec
ton from the elements. As against the reg
ulation by the laws OF supply and demand
he cited the fact of the creation o.
fictitious values. There should be medium
Of exchange between the demand for labol
and the supply. He claimed that the ad
vance in the reward for labor has not beer
commensurate with the advanced cost Of liy
ing. He was opposed to Chinese immigra

evil TO the country. He announced his belief
in the benefits of cooperation, opposed the
employment of women in mills and factorie
and would take the children from the ma
chimes in factories, by the aid Of which they

ganlzltion proposed to be to labor what
Boards Of Trade. Chambers of Commerce,
etc, were to capital. He believed labor had

from capital than from the weak and the
traitorous in the labor ranks. The motto
OF the organization, he said was "eaual pay

woman"
