THE ORANGES.
A large number OF local Oranges, and
in some States the body OF farmers have
gone into the Knights Of Labor as District
Assemblies. The farmers orders largely
assisted the Knights OF Labor in the late
strikes in the southwest, and to show an
appreciation Of brotherly aid, tho general
assembly appointed committee TO pre-.
pare an address to Oranges 10 be- pre-.
Ssnted at It's National Convention. A
Committee on Legislation was appointed
which will have charge Of matters that
members would like TO bring before Con.
gress.
A lawyer named Lawrence presented a
plan to the General Assembly this morn.
ing looking toward the settlement Of all
the labor troubles by q special branch oi
the United States courts. Tonight 1t Is
said Mr.. Powderly's y plan for future gov.
ernment OF the order is the establishment
Of y State Assembly. There will be then
four assemblies. Local assemblies will gu.
bordina.e to the district, district to State,
and State to national. The plan is re-.
ported to be very popular among those Of
the delegates who have heard Of 1t.
.POwDERLY's PLAN.
Powderly's plan, as 1t is called, will do
away with mahy unnecessary strikes. 1t
provides, among other things. that no as.
sembly but the State and National shall
have power to order either strike or q
boycott. II local Assembly wants TO
order a strike 1t must first get the consent
Of the District and then the State Assem-
blies. Several months ago the carpet
weavers in the vicinity Of Yonkers, New
York, organized local assemblies OF the
Knights OF Labor and became attached TO
District Assembly 81, This district, very
large, made a vigorous protest against ad.
dltional local assemblies as the work
| OF the district was great,
hence the Cslpst weavers organized
District Assembly l20. While organizing
the district the weayers were preparing
Tor q strike and at the present time are
striking. Three delegates were elected
and sent to the Cleveland convention, the
head Of the delegation being Mr.. Nor.
rlson. There Is an old rule OF the order
that does not admit districts to represen.
lation In special conventions, and know.
ing this the delegates from District No.
l2B prepared an appeal for distribution
among members Of the General AS.
semblyr asking that they be admitted to
the convention. Mr.. Morrison and his
delegation were denied admission as they
expected and made an appeal to the
Executive Board.
TRUCE AGREED uPoN.
Wednesday afternoon delegates from
No. 12G were Closeted with the Board and
at the conference truce was agreed upon.
The Board promised the delegates their
district should be represented at the
Richmond convention Ia October and that
upon the adjournment Of the special con.
vention The Board would 70 to Yonkers
and investigate the troubles between the
weavers and their employers and try to fix
up the differences.
One ot the most important subisc un.
der consideration by the Assembly Ia the
breach between the Knights Of Labor and
the Trades Unions.
AN IMPORTANT DlFFERANCE.
The joint committee Of Trades Union
as has been published conferred with the
Executive Board Of the Knights Of Labor
before the Assembly convened, and 1t
was stated by the Trades Unionists that
very little disagreement existed. The
subject mentioned In the call for the As.
sembly and early In the session was
referred to the proper committee, that
On the State Of the Order, The members
of the Trades Union Committee, pro.
minent among whom were P. ]. McJnne,
Secretary Of the Brotherhood Of Carpen.
ters and Joiners, D. Z. Boyer, Chief Or.
ganizer OF The International Typogfa.
phlcal Association, and A. Strasser, Pfesi.
dent OF the International Cigarlnakers
Union met to-day.
The session OF the committee was for
the purpose oi hearing the views and the
suggestions Of the Trades Unions rep
resentatives and details Of cases
where trouble has arisen between
Knights OF Labor and members OF
Unions. Mr.. Boyer had hut little
70 offer. The Typographical Union had
few grievances. This organization also
contains fewer knights OF Labor In pro.
portion TO the BiSe OF It's membership than
any other union. MI Boyer reported the
greatest harmony bstween this order and
the Knights oi Labor.
