Reorganiz alton of western knights Of Labor

ST. LOUIS, Nov. PA special from Sedalia,
Mo-, says: The Knights of Labor of this city
have Withdrawn from district assembly No. 101
and the assemblies will be attached to the State
assembly. II is predicted that all other local
assem- blies on the line of the Gould system in
Missouri will follow suit. and that those in Kan
sas will also withdraw and hereafter work under
the jurisdiction of the State assembly. Should
this follow, the charter of the famous district
No l0l will be surrendered. District assemblies
covering large territory are becoming very un-
popular in the Southwest, and there is wide
spread feeling among the knights that the affairs
of the order can be conducted to far better adj
vantage by abolisbing the district assemblies
and organizing under State charters.

Important Movement Among Iron Workers.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 24-The Knights of Labor
have begun an important movement among the
skilled iron-workers by organizing an assembly
of the skilled workmen at the Elba iron and bolt
works The assembly is composed Of heaters
and rollers, but it is the intention to admit the
puddlers in few days. All the men enrolled
are members of the Amalgamated Association,
and intend to remain so. This is the beginning
of general movement for the enrolment of
skilled iron and steel workmen as Knights of
Labor, all still retaining their membership in
the Amalgamated Association. The object is
have dual organization, and thus to increase
their power by being backed not only by the
Amalgamated Association but also by the whole
order Of the Knights of Labor. The Knights of
Labor of the district it is said, will claim d.
rect representation IN the scale conferences in
future and will not allow any scale to take effect
unless Endorsed by them. The movement is
rapidly spreading, and several mills in the South
Side will shortly be organized.

Federation

Next Session Of the Trades and Labor Union
Federation.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24-Samuel Gompers, presi
dent of the Federation of Trades and Labor
Unions of the United States and Canada, has is
sued circular announcing the annual session of
tho federation in Columbus, o., Dee 7, instead
OF st Louis. The change in place Of meeting
was brought about by the fact that the trades
unions conference committee have called con-
vention of all national and international trades
unions to meet at Columbus, o., Dec
g. which promises to be largely attended In
view of this fact, the legislative committee
deemed it inadvisable to allow the opportunity
TO pass of bringing the two bodies together and
forming a thorough and permanent federation
The basis of representation is: From national
or international unions less than 4 900 members,
one delegate 1000 or more, two delegates; s. 000
three delegates, and so on From each local
trades union not having a national or interna-
tional union, one delegate. But trades Union
shall be entitled TO representation which mas not
been organized three months prior to the ssion
of this convention.
Trouble Impending on the Southern Pacific.
ST. Louis, Nov. PA special from Houston,
Tex, says: For several days past trouble has
existed between the train men of the Southern
Pacific company, an Atlantic system, and the rail-
road officials. Last Saturday night q COMMITTEES
of orakenen visited New Orleans to present
their grievances and arbitrate with the managers
of the company regarding wages. The railway
authorities, in order to definitely settle
the big strike of last winter,
tered into an agreement with the brake
men which the latter claim is not now be-
ing enforced, and assert that unless the matter
is soon rectifed, they will again strike. The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have also
appointed committee to visit the Crescent City
and arbitrate the differences existing between
them and the company. 1t is claimed that two
engineers were unjusty discharged by master
mechanic. Officials of the company state that
the action of the master mechanic must be sus-
tanned. The engineers state they in the
right and, unless the difficulty is amicably set
tied a strike will be inevitable
