Knights of Labor and the Cigarmakers.
NEW YORK, July 22d.-The Knights of
Labor of New York have taken a decided
stand upon two important matters. They
have undertaken the task of lifting the
boycott from Ehret's beer and have also
determined TO drive all cigarmakers-both
Progressive and International-out of the
Order. Both of these steps were decided
upon at the meeting of District Assembly
No. 100. Tuesday night. The Knights cb-
jected to the presence OF the Progressive
Cigarmakers because of their open and
strenuous advocacy of anarchism and vio
lence. On the other hand, the Interna
tional knights claimed that they were
simply joining the Order to make use of it,
and the Order was often brought into dis
repute in consequence of such conduct.
This action on the part of the Knights only
applies to those cigarmakers who belong
to either one OF the two Unions any men,
Der of the Interuationals or ProgressiveS
can join the knights of Labor after resign
