ally, would seem to suggest the coming

Knights of Labor.

The annual meeting of the assemblies of
Knights Of Labor was held in this city
this week, commencing on Tuesday and
closing their work ON Wednesday afternoon.
With the exception of Tuesday evening,
their sessions were with closed doors. There
were only about Is delegates from the %
assemblies in the state outside of Owosso.
Master Workman, Fl. 1. Allen, of School
craft, presided. Aside from the usual rou-
tine OF the yearly assembly very little bust
ness was transacted. The open meeting of
Tuesday evening was addressed by Chas.
Howell, of Grand Rapids, and the versatile
and irrepressible Ben. Colvin, Of Saginaw
county. The subject of finance is clear to
Ben, and he sought diligently for an hour
to make it so to his auditors. Being good
story teller, humorous and witty, he seldom
fails to hold the attention of his audience,
IL he doesn't convince them of the sound
ness of his views
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted in the choice Of George Rob-
inson, of Grand Rapids, master workman;
Jesse Thompson, of Chief Lake, worthy
foreman; Chas. Howell, of Grand Rapids,
secretary and treasurer; N. G. Payne, of
Owosso. state statistician; Helen j. Prindle,
Henry l. Allen and William Baumgartle, as
executive board.
The following is summary of the reso-
buttons adopted:
That, In army matters, we favor return
to the old militia system in existence prior
to 1862, and oppose the centralizing of the
military power in every way, and object to
the use of such vast sums in building useless
armories. That we favor uniform system
of text books for our schools, to be furnish
ed to the people at cost by the state, and a
compulsory education Of the children be-
tween the ages of six and twenty. That, as
the earth, with its lands, forests, mines, etc.,
is gift to the whole humanity, it is unjust
to charge for 1t, having Q right only to
charge for the products of labor. That all
values accruing to land should not go to
spectators and land sharks, but be applied
to public purposes. That to tax improve
ments discourages the use Of capital in the
employment Of labor. That we urge upon
the state legislature the entire removal of all
taxes from the products of labor. That, as
the slums of the large cities are standing
menace to the welfare Of society, we hereby
petition our senators and representatives in
Congress, to order the department of labor
to investigate the occupations, earnings,
sanitary conditions, environments and meth
DDS of living of sum population Of cities of
over 5000 inhabitants.
