CLEVELAND, OHIO, May 25.-There was con-
siderable excitement this morning among the
Knights OF Labor, caused by the appearance
OF VIM. Wythe and w. h. Martin, president
and general secretary Of the A~malgamated
Iron and Steel Works association. They rep
resent Is 100 men. 1t Is said q serious breach
Is threatened between them and the knights,
to which nesr.y al the iron and steel workers
belong. Their grievance is that persons who
have been expelled from their order and nom
uniouists OF P%ittsburg and other places are
working In opposition to them, have been Ia
ken In aid protected by the Knights. This
system, 1t is said, Wythe and Martin will de-
nand shall be stopped, otherwise
they will order all members Of

CLEVELAND, May 25,-The doors Of Sloss
Hall on Ontario street were thrown open al an
early hour this morning, and soon thereafter
men In twos and tbrees began to stroll In and
take possession OF the seats In the most advan-
tageous locations. The early arrivals were
the advance guard OF the delegates TO the
special session OF the general assembly Of the
Knights of Labor, which was called by Gen.
eral Master Workman Powderly, under the
authority Of the executive board, over one
month ego, and which It is expec,ed will be one
OF the most important gatherings Of the body
yet held. The causes leading to the conven-
ing Of the session a-e given a. follows:
First-The rapidly increasing membership
Of the order requires changes In the laws
which the general executive board have no au-
thority TO make.
Secood-The laws in relation to the
government OF boycotting are wholly
inadequate TO compel obedience on The pert of
. assemblies that believe in boycotting for every
ffense, whether great or small.
Third-The laws IA relation to strikes do
not give the general executive board power
interfere In such matters until after The strike
has been inaugurated.
F%ourth-The order has become involved in
difficulties with trade societies and an effort is
being made to create q rupture between these
societies aud the Knights OF Labor.
These are among the important questions to
be considered at the assembly which opens to-
day; while those OF arbitration and the atti-
tud. OF the order 10 the government and the
church will a'so come up for their
share OF attention. Concerning the gen.
ersl question OF strikes, boycotts and
arbitration, the leaders Of the order have
felt the nee, ssity OF a greater concentration OF
authority in the hands Of the general execu.
tive boaro. 1t is held that there are hundreds
Of petty strikes and ~boycotts which would he
altogether avoided II the authority over such
matters were fully vested In the board. Un-
der ordinary circumstance this matter could
not come up until the annual meeting in DC.
ober, but II the present convention shall de-
eide that each local assembly shall get per-
mission from headquartefe before ordering q
strike, less hssty action and fewer difficulties
would be the result. The attack OF the trades
unions on the kni shts, which cam to q head
at the convention held In Philadelphia
last week, will be deliberately con
sidered and = comprehensive, harmonious and
friendly policy toward these organizations will
