form Appointed.

CINCINNATI, o., May l9-The opening day
OF the national union conference was blessed
with mild temperature. The morning hours
| were occupied by the state delegations per-
fecting their organization. A feature that
has attracted some attention this morning is
| the apparent apathy of the south, the dele
gates from that section being few in number
wide interest attached to the presence
| among the delegates of an unusually large
number of prominent labor men, particularly
| knights of Labor leaders. 1t is rumored
| That the knights are in active alliance with
| the southern delegates and others to prevent
the convention organizing q third party
| at this timc. General Master Workman
Powderly, in an interview with the Asso-
| ciated press representative today, Just before
| the convention was called to order said:
| ut is not true that either myself or the
| other general officers or members of the order
| mere are, as body. working in any such
| way AS matter of fact" continued Pow
| uerly, u am not here as a delegate to the
convention, but to attend the meeting of the
| general executive board of the knights of
Labor, called to meet here simply that the
members of the board wished to keep heartily
| IN touch with the people VINO would be here"
Ihe various states held n meeting at Music
hatl this morning. The attendance was large
| and the business was chiefly OF routine
