OF the a. IL. U. early to-day. Local IA,
OF L. ofIlcials refused to discuss the
meaning of the communication.
There was no strike, however, In this
city to-day by members of the order
and 1t Is supposed that the message
from the grand master workman caused

least.

Ing of the telegram, said lie thought 1t
was sent because Of Debs' indictment
| In case the grand jury should take steps
hooking to the indictment of Sovereign,
this message would be filed with the

WALKING Deleeote William Hart Of
the CARPENTERS brotherhood, was in
clined to doubt the authenticity Of the
report of General Master Workman
Sovereign's order to the knights of
Labor, published this morning. He said:
"When a genuine order from Grand
Master Workman Sovereign is received
mere all the carpenters IN the brother

NO AcTIoN IN PHILADELPHIA.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 11.-No
action has yet been taken by the knights
of Labor in this vicinity with reference
| to General Master Workman Sovereign's
request that they quit work pending the
settlement OF the Pullman difficulties,
and it is not believed that any serious
attention will be paid to it. The order
has dwindled greatly in numbers and
influence in this vicinity in the few
years and it is claimed by deposed lead
ers who reside here that not more than
500 still cling to it. Opposed to this is
the assertion of knights that there are
5000 members in aud around PhilaGel-
phia.
NO EFFECT IN BALTIMORE.
