COLUMBUS LABOR CONVENTION.
Coming Fight to the Death Between
knights and ne-workers.

COLUMBUS, o., January 1.-THE Ma
tional Executive Board Of the United
Nine Workers Union completed its work
and the members left for their respective
homes to-day, leaving president Penna
and Secretary McBryde to complete the
ARRANGEMENTS for the convention 10 De
held here February 18th.
There will be two conventions, one Oh
which will be composed or delegates
from local assemblies of the knights oil
Labor attached to District No. l35, ana
the other will be a Joint meeting or
knights of Labor and Progressive Union
delegates composing the United Nine
Workers Union.
II has heretofore been the custom for
the United Mine-Workers Convention TO
be held first, but for obvious reasons the
knights of Labor will meet first this
time.
Two calls have been formulated by the
Executive Board, one OF which is secret
and is being sent to knights OIL LABOR
assemblies. and the other contains no.
thing of interest to the public. Upon the
action taken at the first meeting depends
TO a great extent the business which VIII
be transacted by the other convention.
which is called to meet the following day.
The secret circular Is understood 10 en-
body charges against Hayes and SoVe-
reign. Of the knights Of Labor, and ad-
yises the miners local assemblies to send
delegates instructed to vote to cut loose
from the General Assembly OF the
knights of Labor. On the other hand a
circular Is being sent out by Messrs
HAYES and Sovereign appealing 10 mo
miners to withdraw from the United
Mine Workers and connect themselves
directly with the General Assembly OF
the Knights of Labor.
Thus the issue Is drawn. and upon these
two lines the fight between the Knights
OF Labor and United Mine-Workers' ON
cials will be waged when the convention
meets. Should the Mine-Workers' Off
Gals win the result will be loss of 5000
members to the Knights OF Labor. and
should Hayes and Sovereign come out
victorious the result will be practically
Decentralization of the mine-workers Or
ganiZation.
Grandchildren Workman Sovereign and
Secretary Hayes. together with the Gene
raj Executive Board Of the knights OF
Labor, will be here to make the fight or
their lives and the same will be true or
the Mine-W Workers officials.
In view OF the fact that the fight will
be bitter and the speech-making will
probably be unlimited, II is not likely
that tho Knights OF Labor Convention
will complete its business in one day. as
contemplated by the call. Unless II should
happen that the delegates should be
practically Of one mind and conclude to
cut the wrangle between their two sets
of officials short and decide the question
at issue themselves, there is danger that
the entire week will be consumed by the
Knights of Labor Convention.
For the reasons stated the conventions
will be the most important and sensa-
tional ever held by any branch Of Or
ganized labor.
