that Blaine is an active working member
OF the Knights of Labor - asked q local
member of that order this afternoon. and
an officer of one of the city assemblies.
To the reporters negative reply, the gen

fact, however, has never crepI out and
many of the Order knew nothing Of it

Labor. The paper is published under
the auspices of the Executive Board

to any one who is not a member
of the Order Blaine is a member

tinue TO grow, and it will take more than
the combined efforts of the Trades Unions
to crush us OUT

writ of habeas corpus on the ground that

jurisdiction. After reciting at some length
the laws governing the case, and on which

Notwithstanding Ross and Wolfe were In
