INDIANAPoLIs, Nov. 17.-This mornings
session of the General Assembly. Knights of
Labor, was called to order by General Master
Workman Powderly at o o'clock, and nearly
every delegate was In his or seat at that hour.
II is stated that to-day's meeting will prove
one Of the most serious and interesting ses-
sions ever held by the Order, as the Commit
tee on Appeals and Grievances are prepared
TO submit q report on the Barry case some
time during the day, and ali sides are excited.
RADICAL AND CONSERVATIVE.
It will be o contest between two elements
In the order-extreme radicalism on the one
side, as represented by Barry and his fol-
lowers, and the cool, calm conservative ele-
ment represented by Powderly.
b Il is evident that the Assembly is dreading
to meet the several questions that will mar
It's harmony. If anything doess For three days
the delegates have said 1.-THE Barry appeal
will likely come up Tomorrow"
Last night it was given out semi-oficially
that it would be the first thing considered
in District Assembly 10. of New York, would
be disposed of to-day.
These arc the principal appeal cases. and if
they are settled without o rupture the danger
point Of the Assembly will have been passed.
The Barry appeal Is in the hands of one of
lib lEiouub III tuO u6l6Rbtob, Dub IL lB bhlu Tue
Grievance Committee has considered the
matter and that through their Committee It
Barry was still " neutral" yesterday, but
General Assembly refuses to sustain him.
ABOUT THE TROUBLE IN 40.
The Grievance Committee has made q thor
Npugh Investigation of the trouble in d. A. 40.
of New York. II was said last night that the
lCommittee would recommend o settlement on
tho basis proposed some weeks ago IN New
York Of having the officers Of both factions
withdraw, local assemblies suspended since
June I put back In good standing on pay
ment Of their dues, and to have the present
officers ineligible to hold office In the Dis
trict for two years.
Such action would make the following In
eligible: James e. Quinn, Edward L. Nunze,
John Saunders, Timothy ?. Quinn, Hugh
, ysRhGy' H Sss; e George May5y i. '1 Duncan q; M Tses. B.
Mcclure, Phillip j.. McGrath, William N.
Reed. Michael Breslin, George w. Dunn.
James J: DAILY, Paul Mayer, Richard Raleigh,
David J: Naughson, George j. Leffert and
NEITHER SIDE PLEASED.
This agreement to the members of the
HAnti-Home Club" would not be salts
factory. nor would it please the Home
Club" faction, of whom Quinn is the leader.
WHAT WILL d DO?
1t has been rumored that Mr.. Powderly
has positively d. clineu to accept the office
for aaother tenn AMI that he las accepted q
tempting ofec from q New York newspaper
TO do journalistic work. He was asked about
the report but refused to either affirm or
deny.

REGARDING THE BARRY FIGHT.
Some OF the delegates favor giving to the
p ess the full proceedings of the Assembly
MIN reference, to Barry's appeal. They say
mat, as Barry is in a pos ton to answer, it il
quarrel should be heard.
barry Will not be accorded the privilege of
the floor in the Convention. but his position
will be defended by Schilling, of Chicago
s~kefiington, OF Boston w. z. Lewis, of the
miners. and possibly one or two others.
Powderly will defend the action of the
GENERAL Executive Board in expelling Barry
from the Order, Ho is in excellent fighting
trim and will give no quarter to the avowed
enemies of the organization.

the administration in suspending and then
