A. Jablinowski favored the admission of the Knights as 1t would make it easier to permeate that organization with ad- vanced ideas. He said, "We desire to have in this body an assemblage of all kinds of men who are willing to sacri flee their all for the emancipation of Labor" Applause The delegate of the Custom Varnishers (K. of L.) said that to remain in the Central Labor Union would, for them, be of greater material advantage, but they would gladly waive that in order to belong to a progressive body; at any rate the ex- clusion of the Knights would be retro gressive step.
