CHICAGO March 14.-The State Executive
Board OF the Knights OF Labor to-day
issued an order that no more Assemblies
next forty days. "Our reason for issuing
this ORDER" said Robert Bennett. State
Master Workman, sis that the order is
growing too FAST and we are afraid the
people may be induced to join it without
fully understanding our objects. We want
| only intelligent men, and we cannot have
any more orders and succeed in the work
we want to accomplish outside OF Chicago.
We are building up unusually intelligent
Assemblies, and we draw our membership
| from all ranks OF farmers, merchants and
professional men. During the forty days
we will explain our objects thoroughly, and
will then be ready for organizing work
| again"
