 eral oficers-The Convention Not Likely
 to Complete It's Work This Week.

 INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23-General Master | Workman Powderly gained another victory at the session of the general assembly of l the knights of Labor.

Litchman opposed reduction in the salaries, and showed how the expenses for the coming year could be cut down to about Sl15,OO0 without touching salaries under the new regime, while the income would be Sl25,00O. One item in last years expendi- lures was S73,CO0 paid out in response to ap- peals Which will not have to be paid this year. The Secretary-treasurer's salary was hxed at S2,O0O, and the salaries of members Of the executive board at S4 a day for six days d week. The question of their expenses was sent back to the finance committee for a further report.
 It looks now as though the work of the 9NAA>4t' e'SSciilbIy WOulU not be finished be- fore the middle of next week.

 The contest for general secretary treasurer has now narrowed down to Hayes and Turner. Layton withdrawing from the fight on con- alton, 1t is said, that he be put on the eligi- Die list for member of the general executive board.
