Meeting Of the Knights.
THE warIoNAL ORGANIZATION TO
c0ayENE AT INDIANAPOLIS.
LIVELY NJ EXPECTED,
fractional ouarrels Likely to BE Renewed
and the Session Promises to BE tho
notwithstanding in the His
tory of the Order.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 13.-The eleventh
annual session of the general assembly
of the knights of Labor will convene
here Tuesday. The session promises to
be n of the most interesting in the his
tory of the organization. One of the
points around which contest will center
Will be the election OF b general master
workman, also an executive committee
and a full list of general officers.
The Grand hotel has been selected as
headquarters. All the general officers
and nearly all of the $50 delegates nave
engaged rooms there. There are several
matters that will likely bring on pro-
longed discussions this year. The ma
jority Of the delegates will come from
Pennsylvania, New York n Illinois.
The basis of representation was reduced
two years ago, and there is now but IN
delegate for each 1900 members of the
order. Some fractional quarrels that
have been brewing for come time will be
renewed in the session, and very lively
times ara expected. 1t is understood
that the credentials OF George Schilling
of Chicago will be disputed. Schiliing
championed the anarchists in the last
general assembly, and his ideas. are OPP
posed by the Powderly administration.
Schilling participated in the great stock
yards and street car strikes at Chicago
over the protest Of Powderly, and in
other ways he has acted contrary to the
ideas of the master workman.
II is also probable that the using OF
this order for political purposes will
come up for discussion. The action OF
Ed Could, OF this city, who attempted
TO transfer the influence of District As
semhly 1G6 to the Democrats In the re-.
cent campaign will bring the matter up
for consideration. The proposition of
some of the members ofsIhe General AS,
sembly 10 consolidate The office of gen.
eral secretary and treasurer will also
bring about a wrapgle. A general mas
ter workman is to be elected at this ses-
sion, aud it is probable that Powderly
will succeed himself. At the last meet
ing he pUsitiyely announced that he
would not accept a, reelection, but his
friends say he will be induced to change
his mind. There will be opposition te
him, however.
