Scranton Pa.1 Special.
Before Mr.. Powderly left for New York for
the conference with Gould, ne said: 'This will
be the last strike of the knights of Labor in
America" If his views could be carried out this
might be true. AL of Mr. Powderly's labors
have been in opposition to strikes as means of
settling differences between labor and capital
He was at work on plan when taken sick that
would simplify the management of the Knights
of Labor organization if adopted. The plan was
to change the rules of the association, making it
impossible for strike to be ordered without
first referring the matter to the general master
workman and the executive committee This
was proposed with view of preventing incon-
siderate action by local district such as Chair
man Irons precipitated in the West Mr. Pow
derby regretted Mr.. Irons's action in first order
ing the strike without consulting the executive
committee, and he believed that the strike could
have been prevented il Mr. Irons had conferred
with the executive committee Another change
that will probably be adopted as soon as Mr.
Powderly regains his health will be to provide
for the establishment of a regular bureau for
the general master workman, with number of

paratively small organization and are not
suited to the present requirements 1t is not
thought advisable for the general master work
man to be compelled to run about the country at
the beck and call of the various local commit
tees. His duties will be rather to direct the
movements of the organization from his Office
When necessary to hold a special conference he
will send an authorized deputy.

quickly take the subject ont of politics. Let the
