MAkOES' Union,

BUFFALO, May 15,-There seems, from
developments here to-day, to be a pros
psct Of a big tlght between the Independ'
emit Oraitsmsn's Union Of America and the
Knights Of Labor, The Cigar Makers In.
transitional Union, which has its head
quarters here, has opened the ball in an
editorial which will be printed in its Or
gan, the journal, on Monday. The claim
Is made that the Knights OF Labor are Of
terinR TO work for from 20 10 so percent
lower than the members OF the Interna.
lional Union. This ia made the basis Of
an attack. A conference is 10 begin in
Philadelphia on the 18th inst, at which
place arrangements will be made for the
ground to be taken at the meeting in
Cleveland on the 25th. The journal says;
We do not consider II out OF place to
give the names and occupations Of the
men who have assumed control over the
cigar trade, 30 that we may convince the
cigar makers OF the arrogance OF these in
teFlopers, who have not the slightest
knowledge Of the cigar trade. Their names
are; 7. V, Powderly, machinist; FREEZER
iCk Turner, grocer and landlord; John w.
Hayes, Wholesale and retail tea dealer.
The attempt Of o few men TO control and
regulate all industries has proved TO be Q
ridiculous farce, It also proves that there
is something rotten In the management Of
the organization known as the Knights OF
Labor. Should the special session Of the
K. OF L., to be held in Cleveland on May
25, fail to remedy these criminal blunders,
We will denounce them as the champions
OF cheap labor and the advocates Of low
wages in fine, as traitors to the labor
cause in general.
