BARRi'S NEW ORDER,
Its Main object VIII be to Agitnte the

Its Main object VIII be to agitats the
Eight Hour Movement.
Thomas Barry, the noted ex-Knight
prepare the ground for tho coming
meeting OF twenty-five or thirty del
egates to the Knights Of Labor general
convention, whom he expects to assem-
BILE there and start the proposed oppo-
sition organization. 1t is understood
he will issue declaration OF principles.
The declaration, as far ms ut present
evolved, is to repeat all charges so FREE
quently made against the Powderly nd
ministration, and will specifically de-
mand the eight-hour day. the abolition
of child labor, the regulation of female
labor, manual training and factory and
store inspection. IL will denoruco the
alleged antagonism of the Knights of
Labor to trades unions, and particularly
the intolerance of the knights of Labor
to the Federation of Labor. I'm
like the knights, The new organ
ization will not debar from membership
the federationists. The declaration will
charge that the knights arc too largely
composed of Irish The new organiza.
ton will aim to become political fac
tor. Individual local assemblies will be
independent, acknowledge no general
executive board and pay no tribute to
general officers, bnt keep their money
at home for use i'll the struggle for tho
eight-hour day. The organization is to
be secret in the same sense MS the
Knights of Labor, but it is intended
that there shall BIO open meetings for
the purpose of discussing political ques-
tions. Indeed, tho chief distinguishing
feature of the new organization is to DO
the active interest it will take in poll.
tics. and for this purpose the order will
use either the democrats or republicans,
rs the locality or other circumstances
may demand.
