KNIGHTS OF LAROR.
Petition for the Consolidation of All
Labor Organizations.

LABOR organizations.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 15.-The morning
session of the knights of Labor was con-
sumed listening to an address by George
Howard, Nice-President of the American
Railway Union, who presented petitions
for the consolidation OF all labor organ
izations of the country into one vast
body, under single Board of Manage
ment and with amalgamated INTEREST.
lie beAeved If such plan were adopted
labor would be in position more COM
pletely to have its wrongs redressed and
more speedily obtain its rights.
Grand Master Sovereign spoke in favor
OF the plan proposed by Howard.
General Master Work man Sovereign
delivered his annual address, which was
an exhaustive ana elaborate resume OF
the work OF the order from its incipiency.
He attributed the decrease in the MEM
bership of the order TO the depression in
business circles, prevalent bankruptcy,
low wages and forced idleness of labor
ing classes. He stated that he had trav-
eled 80, 4G4 miles since his stewardship,
has organized eleven assemblies and
made ninety-seven public addresses.
Referring to the American Railway
Union affiliations, he advised coalition
with this as well as with all labor orgspi-
cations.
His resume of the Pullman strike ter
minated in severe criticism of Major
General Schofield and the recommenda-
tions of that officer for an increase in the
army, together with the action of Chi
cago's millionaire aristocracy, who were
permitted to present stand of colors to
the Fifteenth Infantry, which was an in-
dication of uneasy desire to Subjugata
labor through the military power of the
| Nation"
He urged that the assembly take strong
grounds against an increase of the mill
tary force of the Nation, and that they
advocate a decrease in the regular army
and tho abolition of State militia, for
from them are coming to the surface the
sentiments OF a military despotism.

Hall. but was quickly stopped with a
hard right and left. Hall could SEEM
lngly have knocked him out had he fol-

his feet at the end of the round he was
declared the winner. Hall complained
that his stomach was weak, and he was
unable to exert his full strength.

first round. but Woods saved himself by
chhchlng at every opportunity. He re-
peated these tactics throughout the fight,
