the Knights of Labor will be a
blessing to the United States if it
succeeds in organizing these cOlored people

but one thing is certain, they will respect
an obligation. Their organization into the
X. of l.. would cause them to be- more in
duStrious. more frugal, and would -Gsult in
their receiving more uniform wages. Why,
some of them are now shut out in Georgia
because when they were receiving but so
cents per day they asked for an advance in
wages. | know that they have friendly
feeling for the order and believe that the
efforts that are now being made to have
them become members will be success

Another knight, member of the eXecu-
tive board, and a democrat. as We have al
ready stated. believes that the organization
Of the colored men of the south, into Knights
Of Labor assemblies. will have the effect to
protect their personal and political rights
and privileges and break up the solid
south"
IT is authOritiveIy stated that Grand Mas
ter Workman POwderly will make his an

at least an intelligible abstract will be tele-
graphed to the press of the country. 1t is
also believed that. while there will be some
changes in the executive board, Mr.. Pow
derly will certainly be reelected.

be fully represented at the Richmond con-
vention.

The knights of LHbor-The Coming Nation
al Convention at Richmond.

al Convention at Richmond.
People may approve or disapproye of the
Knights of Labor, but one thing is certain
tion-and it is true, also. that it has as
sumed immense proportions. Ii is undoubt-
edly the fact that it is the largest and most
powerful labor organization in the world,
and as such. is a very important element in
all questions relating TO the interests Of la
Dor, IS involved in its connection with cap
ital. The Philadelphia Record states that
the membership of the order now nearly
reaches 1000. 900. and that the knights are
numerically strong in England and on
the continent.
Then it is true, also. that with whatever
faults it, or its members may have. it has
some decidedly good featHres-namely. the
administration of the order favOrs temper
ance and sobriety, and salOon-keeperS are
ineligible; and no distinctions as to color or
condition are made in the admission to
membership. Indeed, during the year. the
Knights have inaugdrated and carried on
large operations in the south, and have or
ganized large bodies of white and black Ia
borers, aud to the honor of the Knights, it
it stated lin the Record that ''they form
one of the few labor organizations which
are not directly opposed to Chinese immi-
grafton or labor in this country" The
Record supports its assertion by making
this quotation from a recent utterance by
IT ,f
eral executive board: Il wish that the
Knights of Labor were better understood by
the outside public. We have no antipathy
to the Chinese OF any other immigrants.
The people of the United States have said
that the Chinese must go. but we say that
the system must go-the system of import
ing Chinese or any other laborers under
contract This is what We are opposed 10.
Let this obnoxious contract system he abOl-
ished. and we will welcome all foreigners
who come here to identify themselves with
the nation and TO become honest and in
dustrious citizens" This is statement Of
a most wholesome principle, that cOmmends
itself to all true friends of labor and of true
industrial progress The contract system"
which is really system of slavery
ought To be abolished.
The annual convention of the Knights
for 1886 will open its sessions al Richmond,
Va, on the 4th of October. Each district
assembly will be entitled to one delegate
for every 1000 members or majority frac-
ton of l. 900. Delegates are expected from
all parts of the United States and Canada;
Mexico, Central America, South Amer
lea and Europe will be represented by dele
cations. and there will be in Richmond a
gathering Of Knights Of all col0rs and races
that will be especially suggestive and III
structive TO the people Of that locality.

what this convention will be and as to what
il will do. we find most interesting report
