as the address was the note: Expelled
by G. i. b." He was very indignant at
this, and said he could make the sender
suffer in the courts il he wished. The
talk OF John j. jarrett as possible sue.
Cessor to Powderly caused the delegates
great deal OF ofamusement, in view OF the
fact that no one but delegates are eiiigi-
BILE to election, and Mr.. Jarrett does not
happen to be delegate-in fact, there is
Some doubt whether he is true men,
Der OF the organization. W. 7. Lewis,
OF Pittsburgh, is about the only person
spoken OF as an opponent Of Powderly
for the chief place, and his opposition
may not materialize to any great extent.
The meetings ofthe General Assembly
are to be held in Manscur Hall, small
room near the court house, used as n g.
A. r. Post room. 1t was provided with
extempOrized pine tables for the use OF
the delegates, who were seated around
them. At one end OF the hall were
desks and chairs for the general officers.
By 10 O'Clock the delegates had began
to assemble and on their tables and
chairs were found concise little knights
OF Labor catchisms for use in educNtiOn-
al work, and circular regarding the
trouble in d. A. 40, in New York. This
circular gave the proposal Of one faction
for settlement and the action taken by
Quinn and party when it was sent to
them. The plan was that all the sus'
pended officers and local assemblies be
reinstated; that all officers in the two
organizations resign; that a new elec.
ti0n be held and n complete new set OF
officers be elected, those having held
office in the two sections being ineligi-
bic, and that each section select one
half OF the delegates to the General AS
sembly. This proposal was handed to
JamesE Z. Quinn, who was presiding over
his Section November 4, 1883, and hav-
ing been read, and on motion, it was
"ordered to be filed as n curiosity, thus
showing plainly THAT 'nothing further
can be done toward settlement, us the
introduction to the circular read. 1t
was quarter past ten when General
Master Workman Powderly raped for
order and requested all persons not dele
gates to retire from the room.
The morning session considered the
report OF the Committee on Credentials
and any trouble that is liable TO arise
from contests will develop at this time.
There are three lady delegates who
are in attendance, and besides there are
other ladies present connected with the
order.
About l25 delegates were in the hall
when the session opened and the total
number OF persons connected officially
with it is about loo. The morning ses-
sion lasted until half past twelve and
was lively, but the work was all COM
pleted when the recess for dinner was
taken.
The report OF the Committee on Gre
dentials was at once taken up and con-
sidered. No great fight was aroused over
the report, says the press Bureau, every
thing being decided practically as re.
commended by the committee. The
cases demanding attention were more in
the nature of protests than contests,
some person or persons protesting against
what they considered illegality in the
appointment OF delegates. SChillings, OF
Chicago, was admitted. No case was
made against him. In the case OF D. A.
40, the Ave delegates headed by James
Z. Quinn were admitted, it being held
that ut this time it was not proper to go
behind the returns, Later GU there may
be further contest, but that is uncer-
tain. It was announced to the press rep.
resentatives that "Barry was probably
somewhere about the hall, but that his
case caused no trouble"
Mr.. Barry was in the hall when the
session opened. He endeavored to
speak, but General Master Workman
Powderly told him that having been ex-
PEELED he had no right to and must go.
He again tried, rs he said, to say u word
OF explanation, but was compelled TO
leave the hall. Having no serious con-
test cases on hand, and being thus early
organized to work, this General Assem-
bly, is ahead OF all recent ones. As one
delegate expressed it: at is three days
ahead OF Minneapolis and five days
ahead OF Richmond, and as all warning
elements are on the outside, smooth
sailing is expected from now on to the
end OF the session"
Only one delegation besides the con-
testants from District Assembly 40, oi
the city OF New York, did not take seats
in tho General Assembly. That was the
delegation from Michigan State Assem-.
bly,, and consisted OF Henry ]. Allen and
James II. Morrow. They came here
with full expectation OF being admitted
and claim that no notification was sent
them OF the protest that met them when
they arrived. This was that their Assem-.
bly, was entitled to but one delegate,
They assert, on the other hand, that
proper notification OF the appointment
OF two delegates had been sent to the
General Secretary, who sent them both
notices OF arrangements made here ioE
their entertainment, and in no way gave
evidence Of belief in their not being
entitled to the two delegates. One o.
them could have easily been admitted
to-day, but they preferred to await the
action OF the Assembly on their case.
The case OF 7. B. Barry, is one Of ap
peal from the authority OF Powderly
and it will be considered in due time By
the proper committee. Mr.. Barry ClaimI
10 be entitled 10 his seat and expresses
confidence in his ultimate success. i
is said by some OF those close TO hin
that Barry contemplates the organi1a
ton OF new order II he fails at thi
time and his possible actions are watched
for with considerable interest. OF thu
other protests, cases not herein men
toned, none brought up much dis
cussion, the delegates being seated il
each case,
Theaiternoon session to-day was devoi
ed to the completion Of the organization
{ OF this General Assembly by the az
