INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 26.-In the
general assembly, K. of L., the griev.
ance committee had the floor all the
morning. The cases of District Assem-
bly, No. 49, of New York, were disposed
of. The delegation headed by James E.
Quinn was decided to be the only proper
one. In the case of the protest of the
Massachusetts, state assembly against
certain locals of cigarmakers, which
was in fact a fight between the K. Of l..
and the internationals, the protest was
sustained. A resolution asking for an
expression of the convention on the
strike of the switchmen in this city was
referred to committee. Mr.. Pow.
derly, in reply to reporters ques.
ton, stated that he was entirely
satisfied with the general outcome
of the convention, and continued: 1.-THE
only thing / regret is that am again
placed at the head of the order. Per.
sOnally am sorry for it, and honestly
did not expect it. / might have stepped
into a better thing. A position had
been offered me which meant more
money and less work. In fact the
papers were drawn up and about ready
to be signed by which would have re.
ceived $1,000 for about three months
work" Now that the work of the con.
vention is practically over the opinion

resolution to adjourn the assembly sine

on appeals and grievances resumed
work. The only case Of Importance

the case to this body on the ground that

man had the authority to suspend local
assemblies. During the hearing of the
case, Schilling vigorously denounced
Powderly on the floor of the assembly.
When Schilling concluded his state

Debate being closed, the general as
