A GROWING ORDER
Powderly's Annual Report Of the
Condition Of the Knigkta
Of Labor
NATIONAL GUARD DENOUNCED.
State Military Organizations a
Friend Of Capital in Time
of Need

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16.-The seven
teenth annual convention of the Knights
of Labor met at Industrial hall, this city,
at 1890 q. m. Nothing but routine
business was transacted during the morn
ing session. DR.. A. n. p. Leuf, master
workman of Kansas Assembly No. /,
Philadelphia, delivered an address of
welcome. To this Mr.. Powderly re-
sponded briefly, .manifesting his pleas
ure at being received by the local head
OF the order, referring pleasantly to
Philadelphia as the city that gave birth
to independence and to the organization
OF the Knights. The committee on GRE
dentials then reported, and discussion on
the matters brought up by them con-
sumed the entire morning. There was
some
Difference of Opinion
about the acceptance of the credentials
of a half dozen from isolated districts
made up of local unattached unions but
all were finally favorably passed upon.
When the credentials were disposed of
the assembly got ready for business.
The entire afternoon session was de-
voted to hearing the report of General
Master Workman Powderly. Two and
one-half hours were consumed in read
ing the document, and at it's conclusion
Mr.. Powderly received applause. The
report denied that the order was retro
grading, and asserted that the reader
was in possession of statistics to show
that the organization was prosperous.
1t denied emphatically that the Knights
OF Labor, or its chief, is conspiring with
the heads of the Catholic church in this
country to subvert the national govern
ment. 1t extols Pope Leo XIII, and says
that even those who belong to no church
will say that
No Better Friend to Humanity
ever occupied the papal chair. It char
acterizes the state national guard as a
standing army, and says that the militia
is drain upon the workingmen and a
friend to the capitalist in time of trouble.
It also urges that the movement to es-
tablish colonies in the South be pushed
forward. Mr.. Powderly says very little
upon the subject of immigration except
to deplore their settlement in the large
cities OF the East. The report favors a
trinity of money, gold, silver and paper,
and is in favor of silver coinage in the
ratio of Is to 1. It concludes with a
statement that there is no doubt but
that the action Of the Knights of Labor
in demanding the repeal Of the Sherman
act had great influence. There was
nothing in the proceedings to indicate
that the convention will be marked by
any OF the bitter personalities antici-
pated
