Vt OF THE COMMITTEES

* in Turner Hall on Forbes street
hall was tastefully decorated with
lting and flags About $50 delegate,
severed to the roll call, and it is expected
that 500 will be present to-day.
The address of welcome was made b,
W. A Carney in a neat little speech
President Weihe responded in a shor
speech that was heartily applauded. The
business was then taken up and was of ,
routine character, being the reading of the
names of the different committees and hear
ing their reports
To-day the convention will go into ses.
sion at $50 o'clock and it is expected to be
very stormy one as there is undoubtedly
difference of opinion on the question OF
wages between some of the delegates, who
take no pains to conceal it.
The scale published exclusively in last
Mondays DISPATCH is expected to
cause very breezy time when it is brought
before the meeting. Several delegates gave
sixth district would be used as test of
strength by the manufacturers of this
district
knights of Labor Deeply Interested.
District Master Workman Dempsey,
knights of Labor, was asked his opin-
ion of the scale published in MONDAYS
DISPATCH and replied, SIT will un-
doubtedly bring on strike as the reduc-
tion is too much" This opinion will have
some effect as great many of the less skill
ed workmen employed about the iron
plants are members ofthe knights of Labor
The same opinion was expressed by a num-
Der of other well-known labor men, some
using little more emphatic language.
