The ultimate effect of that appeal issued
last night by Grano Master Workman
sSovereign, of the Knights Of Labor, calling
on all knights throughout the colaatry and
those in sympathy with them to- Gait work.
and the order issued at about the same
time by the representatives of all allied
labor in Chicago to do likewise, cannot
yet be certainly foreseen. All that is
known is that the Knights of Labor at all
points heard FROM including nearly all of
the large centers of population in the
United States remained at work today with
practical unanimity, and that in this city
the number of members of the allied trades
remaining at work SO far out-nuinDered
those who quit as to make no appreciable
change in the Industrial appearance of the
city.

Sovereign Threatens "a Strike.
Every American Railway Union man.
KNIGHTS of Labor and Federation of Labor
leaders spoken to at headquarters today de-
clared that the refusal Of the railway man
sgers TO restore the strikers to their posi-
items except those convicted OF crime
would be the signal for the waging Of a
relentless war on the corporations, COM
pared with which the present strike would
be lame.
General Master Workman Sovereign and
the other members of the executive COM
mittee Of the Knights of Labor had con-
ference this afternoon at Ulrichs hall with

tive board of the Knights of Labor and
the conference with the American Railway
Union will be resumed tomorrow morning
at 10 O'Clock. Mr.. Sovereign said 10 the
reporter:
IF the fair ard square proposition made
to the railroad managers by the railway
union Is rejected, the Kignts of Labor viii
take up this fight with renewed power and
determination to bring the aggregation Of
capital to oar terms. We will consider that
we. just as much as the American Railway
Union and the Pullman strikers, are fight
ing for the very existence of organized Ia
Dor and living wages. This fight has not
reached its zenith yet
