LABOR's GREAT ARMY.
The Proposed Union of the Knights and
Other Bodies.

E!1New York, October 24.-No achieve
ment of organized labor IN this or any
other country can compare in magnitude
with the movement which it is proposed
to inaugurate at the General Assembly
of the Knights Of Labor next month,
and to consummate when delegates rep
resenting the entire American Fedora
ton of Labor convene in December.
An amalgamation of every labor order
and labor union in the United State,
whereby all shall recognize single SUI.
preme authority, and in which our hun
dreds and thousands CT workmen shall
be an organized unit in everything that
seems to affect their interests, is the end
aimed at. Only one potent influence is
being exerted to prevent the execution
of this scheme-that Of Samuel Comp
ers.
Another man, willingly or unwillingly,
is looked to as champion of the move
ment-Terrence V. Powderly-and he
has already given it unqualified approx
al. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Powderly had lately authorized an an
nouncement of his coming withdrawal
as General Master Workman of the
Knights of Labor. 1t is now authorita-
lively declared by those who served on
the committee which requested Mr..
Powderly to accept one more election,
that he has consented. The complica-
tions growing out of Secretary and
Treasurer John w. Hayes have been
satisfactorily adjusted pending the con-
vening of the General Assembly.
There are indications of international
approvals in all labor orders.
When the Knights of Labor Assembly
opens: next November, the routine bust
ness must first be attended to. Then
Westerners propose to bring forward
their consolidated scheme, in spite of
opposition that may be made manifest
Briefly embodied, the objects of con-
solidation are stated to be:
/. To exterminate militarism in the
settlement Of labor disputes by abolish
ing the Pinkertons and reducing state
militia despotism.
2. To influence legislation that will
be effective.
8. To save the expenses of maintain
ing rival organizations, which, after all,
have the same ends in view.
A. To do away with labor's internal
discussions.
The other aims are more or less SUBJ
sidiary.

President Blaut's alleged perjury was
committedsin swearing to Statement..in
June last that the directors of the bank
owed it only Sl67,000, when they actually
owed it S275, 200, and that the bank had
an actual undivided surplus.
McDonald's alleged forgery has to do
with a note for $40, $3.50. 70 that he gave to
the bank on June 5, last, as treasur er of
the Fort Wayne Electric company, and

. LawyerSamrel Untermeyer precipitated
the landslide upon the officers and direc-
tors of the bank. ~ He isscounsel for re-
ceivers Miles O'Brien and Joseph W.
Cannon, Jr. He called upon District At
torney Nicoll, and was referred by Mr..
Nicoll to- Assistant District Attorney
Lindsay.
He submitted his proofs to the effect
that certain officers and directors of the
bank were chargeable with obtaining be-
tween 5000, 900 and $500, 600 by means of
forged notes. Mr.. Lindsay said that in
his, opinion the proof made out case of
forgery in the second degree as to two of
the officers, andss of criminal neglect of
duty as to certain, if not all of the direc-
tors.
Mr.. Lindsay will submit the proof to
the grand jury Wednesday,.
Mr.. Untermeyer, it is understood, told
Mr.. Lindsay that it would be well to act
even in advance of the grand jury,ss for he
had heard that at least one of the princi-
pal officers of the bank was about to 90
to Europe. Mr.. Untermeyer was under
stood to refer to President Biaut.
