knights Of Labor I'm Convention.
CLEVELAND, June 1.-At the knights OF
Labor Convention this morning the hrst
business was the adoption OF an amended
| report OF the Committee on Strikes and
| Boycotts. The Executive Board must ap-
prove all future strikes, and, except IN
| certain grievous cases where immediate
action is necessary. a strike or boycott VIII
not be allowed without their approval,
The address to the Women's Christian
Union was adopted. after which the Com
mittee on Legislation presented a report
recommending that a petition be sent to
Congress 20 fix the measure OF value and
regulate the value Of money. Adopted.
The petition says:
Your petitioners are mostly citizens OF
the United States and the mothers OF the
lsboring class of society-that which hu.
man labor produces. All the wealth OF
those who have performed no honest labor
have the least 10 enjoy. We feel this state
Of things to be largely due to both
vicious legislation and q want OF proper
legislation BY Congress; that the money oil
the United States is of uncertain value,
differing widely in different parts OF the
country at all times and at every part al
various times, whereas, being a measure
of common value, it should be liked and
unvarisble in value. For example, at this
time, in one part of the country,
money is worth only two per cent per
annum, in another II, and IN another ~
nv,a
The uncertainty in value IN money causes
distrust and uncertainty in all transact
tions, insomuch that capital is timid and
labor unemployed, and periodical panlcs
occur iu ali business, in consequence OF
which the industrial classes are financially
ruined and lsborers are thrown out OF EN-
ployment, and indescribable want and suf-
fering are brought upon the masses OF
people, and unjust gains are acquired by
those who manipulate the money; that the
supply of a large portion of the money OF
the country is in the control Of private
CORPORATIONS, called national banking as
sociations, creators Of Congressional legls'
lation, with whom private gain is the only
motive for supplying money to the people
that it is thought the manipulatlons OF
said corporations and many other lenders
that people suffer many Of the misfortunes
and grievances h~ereinbefore mentioned, land
many Others not mentioned; that the righ'
to issue or coin money is a high sovereign
~prerogative, which ought not to be exer'
cised but by the highest power in the ma
ton, and we view with alarm the exercise
of such p~rerogative by private persons OF
corporations, and as q remedy for the evil
of which we complain, and for q redress o
the grievances we suffer. as herein set
forth, we pray that your honorable body
will fulfill the duties imposed on you by
the Constitution in Section s of Article /,
which provides that Congress shall have
the power to coin money, and regulate
the value thereof, and OF foreign coin, ant
fix q standard Of weights and measures
that you fix the measures of the value bJ
establishing a just, uniform and unvaria
BILE rate of interest for money loaned; tina
in order TO maintain such a rate OF interes
as a normal rate, you repeal all laws au
thorizing private persons or corporation
to issue money, and in their stead estao
lish public loan offices throughout the
country wherever needed-at least, one IL
every county, with proper officers; that tn
National Government lend money to PEG
pie ct said offices on good and suficient
security, and st fixed rates Of interesi
on demand, and that the profits arising
!, from the business of lending said none,
be converted into the public Treasury fol
public uses, and said loan offices also b.
made repositories for the savings OF TIT
people.
