RICHMOND CONVENTION.
The Probability of an AdJournment-
The Finance Report.

RICHMOND, Oct. 10-When the General
Assembly of the Knights of Labor went in
to session this morning at Richmond, no one
could answer the question positively whether
it would take final adjournment today or pro-
long its sessions into tomorrow.
Reference Of the greater portions of the
proposed revision of the constitution, to the
executive board and a committee of four,
with final reference to local assemblies, has
saved much time, and there now remain to
be disposed of the reports of only half a
dozen special committees, on finance, appeals
and grievances. 1t is understood that the
latter committee has little to present, and
that the rest Is of such nature that it can
be easily disposed of. The finance report
was accepted 1t provides that the Grand
Master Workman shall henceforth be paid
$4,000 year, and the General Secretary and
General Trea surer each $1,000; and that
members of the Executive Board and Gener-
al Worthy Foreman shall receive 81 day
and expenses while on duty.
A resolution was adopted, deciding that
members of the International Cigar Makers
Union must leave the union If they wish to
belong to the order of Knights of Labor.
The convention will probably adjourn to-
morrow.
