stand firm in their demands, and to refuse
payment OF rent unless concessions suit
able TO the depression in the agricultural
districts were made by the landlords.

TEXAN KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
Indications Pointing to a Coalition With
the Prohibitionigts.

'HC
DALLAS, Tx, Sept. 1.-The first an
nual convention of the knights Of Labor
of Texas met here yesterday for the pYr-
pose OF organizing a State assembly. One
hundred and four delegates, including
eight cOlored men, were in attendance.
The proceedings were secret. All the
delegates are extremely nOn-communica-
tive, being bound by oath not to divulge
anything. Much speculation is being in
dulged in by outsiders respecting the CO.
alitiOn OF the Knights OF Labor with the
PrOhibitiOnIsts.
SYMPATHY WITT PROHIBITION.
Owing TO the fact that the knights OF
Labor throughout the state generally are
refraining from the use Of strong drink, it
is surmlsed that they are preparing to
make Overtures to the prohibition party,
especially as a number Of brief Overtures
show that a large majority OF the dele
gates sympathize with the prohibition
movement, which!is assuming widespread
proportions in the State, and another re.
port current states that the seeds are
being planted for a farmers union with
the hope Of making a common crusade
against what is known as ''the excess OF
capital" The agreement entered into
between the executive committee OF as
sembly No. 70 Of the Knlgntsof Labor and
The officers Of the Texas and 81. LOUIS
Railway last Saturday will. 1t is thought,
be proposed by the state Assembly as a
means of hereafter settling strikes in
Texas.
ITS PROVISIONS.
II prescribes first, tnat those who have
quit work by striking shall be relnstated
and shall not be discharged for any action
taken by the strikers in regard h. wages
due, but this is not to cover negligence,
tntemperanee or neglect Of duty; that
thirty days notice shall be given TO men
before being discharged, except Tor cause,
and In case OF a raise or reduction I'm
wages similar notice shall be given; old
employees ARE 10 have the preference OF
work, and all differences between com
panies ana their employees shall be settled
by arbitration.
THE KNIGHTS GAINED EVERY POINT.
