SUFFICIENT Funds on Hand
POwderly's Popularity.

IHDIANAP November I'm this
mornings session of the Knights of
Labor the congress committee on the
state of the order got the floor ahead of
the grievance committee, and the time
was devoted to hearing its reports. On
the recommendation of this committee
the treasurer was ordered to pay the
delegates mileage on the last day of the
session at the rate of cents per mile
each way. In view of the small sum
reported in the treasury, fears had been
expressed there would be no money on
hand to pay the mileage. This morning
it was announced that S. 900 had been
received by the treasurer since Novem-
Der Let, and of this 1856 was from new
charters.
LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY RENDERED.
A representative of Glass Workers
&istrict Assembly 300 announced thai
In a case of need, they had 100000
from which the general executive
board could draw as much as was
needed. District Assembly No. 4S, of
Cincinnati, offered So 600 as gift, and
others volunteered various sums, max
Ing an aggregate of $l5 600. Liberal
subscriptions were offered by nearly
every delegate. Fhis is regarded prac-
ticaliv as an endorsement of and ex-
pressed confidence in the administra-
ton, which indicates that the present
general master worKman's advice will
be taken, and he be urged to remain in
Office.
THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
A resolution had been introduced to
the effect that no action should be taken
on the question of immigration restrie-
ton. This was adversely reported, and
after lively debate, in which the ques-
ton of foreign immigration was very
thoroughly discussed, the committee
report was adopted. This settles the
question that the general assembly
wishes some action to be taken looking
toward the restriction of foreign immi-
grafton, but just what means will be
fs.ken cannot now be predicted.

der still had the floor when recess for
dinner was taken.
THE MOST INFAMOUS scoUNDRELs
that ever lived and become steRch in
the nostriIs of honest men. I have
been for twenty-five years a trades
unionist and knight of Labor, and
never had a speck of dirt on my card.
| appreciate my position nf being ex-
PEELED for exposing their rascallty. This
is all | shall say at present. From now
on the people may expect to hear from
me daily until l have placed these men
in their true light before the public.
Barry has long statement of his case,
which he will give to the public later.
It is said to be a detailed and very
sensible statement OF what he has been
charging against the general officers OF
the order.
BARRY's CASE.
Ths Barry case ca me up for con-
sideration at the afternoon session.
The report of the committee on appeals
and grievance stated Barry was e1-
PEELED for circulating Villifying reports
about his colleagues of the executive
board. It related the statements and
allegations made by Barry at various
times. The grievance committee, by
q unanimous vote, declared in favor
of the general executive board. A
long discussion then ensued.
George Schilling took the floor, and
made 3 strong speech on behalf OF
Barry.
General Master Workman Powderly
made careful statement of his side of
the case, the chief points of which were
the same as those made in his annusi
address.
Several other speakers followed and
at the end of the debate, on roll call,
the general executive boards action
was sustained by vote of l22 to "a. 1t
is claimed by several delegates that OF
the tWenty-four not more than half a
dozen were actually Barry's friends.
The remainder, they say, voted against
the board for legal reasons, and would
support PoWderly on the question OF
policy.
MORE JUBILANT.
The Barry matter being settled and
abundant means at the service of the
order, the delegates tonight are feeling
much better than early in the week.
Powderly seems to be hourly growing
stronger among the delegates.
Barry said to reporter tonight, he
was greatly surprised at the action of
the general assembly, and said he MAS
more than ever prepared to prove every
statement he has made relative to the
doings of the general officers 'Now
that have been denied a hearing,
shall take my case 10 the high court
of public opinion. and believe when
the proof is known that the men who
controlled the Knights of Labor and
are living at the expense of poverty,
will be considered
