A TOTTERING ORDER
DISTRICT ASSEMBLY 30, X. OF L.,
THROWS OFF SOvEREIGN'S YOKE.
Officers of the Parent Organization
Scored in Vigorous Language
Carnegie's Men Form a Union.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Jan. pa long ex-
pected meeting of District Assembly No. SO,
X. of L., was held in this city this evening
and it resulted in the passage of resolutions
denouncing the aigh officers of the organiza-
ton, and cautioning workmen to beware
of them. The ATTENDANCE which included
several knights fron, other New England
States, was unusually large, scarcely
member being absent. District Master
Workman F. l.. Cannon began the criticism
of General Maste: Workman Sovereign,
claiming that the proclamation during the
Pullman strike and other erratic moves were
of most foolhardy character. Edward Nc
Caffrey, delegate to the New Orleans gen.
eral conference from this assembly made
his report which showed that more than 49,,
900 members had withdrawn from the order
during the year, The Philadelphia proper
ty had recently been mortgaged and as no
official report of the financial condition of
the order had been made. it's exact status
could not be determined. He charged Sow
ereign with having been responsible for the
Pullman strike, and said he used Debs as
tool.
The following resolutions addressed to the
members of the K. of L. and the working
people of America were then adopted by a
unanimous vote:
whereas, Certain men, to-wit: j. r. Sow
ereign, John w. Hayes, M. j. Bishop, T. B.
Mcclure, Henry B. Martin. j. NJ. Kenny
and C. H. French, claiming to represent the
order of the knights of Labor, are endeav-
oring to collect money from the working
people of this country to support them
selves in idleneSs and to enable them to
barter with leaders of political parties for
the prestige which the order of which they
are the alleged representatives is supposed
to possess, be 1T
Resolved, That as the power to lend in
fuence to trucking knaves, whose aim to
barter the suffrageS of the citizens of this
order comes from the membership which
contributes its revenues, and as the best
means of thwafting the schemes OF de-
signing scoundrelS is to cut Off their rev.
enue, we pledge ourselves not to pay an
other cent of tax to these alleged general
officers and call upon all local assemblies
in the country to take like action.
Resolved, That we caution all working
people in the United States to have moth
ing whatever to do with j. r. Sovereign
or John w. Hayes, whose only aim in
the labor movement is to line their own
"Resolved, That District Assembly 80
holds itself ready to cooperate with the
various branches that are to meet at
Columbus, O., In February next, in
effort to reorganize the ORDER
The assembly then proceeded to elect off,
GERS and p. Nh. Quinn, who was deposed
without a TRIAL by the Sovereign Hayes
faction some few months ago, was unan-
imously reelected it's master workman and
chosen delegate to the national convention.

SECRET ORGANIZATION.

Tne AmalSamafe0 ASSOCIATION OF.
ganizes a Lodge at Homestead.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Jan. W.-The en-
ployes of the Homestead steel plant have
stolen a march on the company, and the
Amalgamated Association has again Sc
cured foothold in the works by the or
ganization of at least one lodge, the first
since the break of the big strike in 1885,
The organization necessarily accom-
pished with much secrecy, and it is under
stood that only the most trustworthy in
each of the departments were selected for
the initial step, and through them it is
hoped to regain the old-time power of the
association in the mill. Then the original
charters of the eight lodges which existed
prior to the famous strike will probably be
returned to the officers. The lodge already
organized is what is termed a general lodge,
which will embrace workers of all kinds
From this lodge they will be graduated into
the sub-lodges to be organized in each de-
partment.
That the combination spirit is rife among
the men was evidenced by the attendance
at the open mass meeting to-day. Between
one thousand and one thousand two hun
dred men were present. President Gar
land, of the Anna gamated Association was
newspaper men secretaries. The speakers
President Garland, Vice President Carney
and Police Magistrate Doherty, of Pitts
burg, all urged the men to carry on the
work of organization, but cautioned them
against doing anything hastily and to scru-
tlnize carefully every applicant for admis-
sion, that no traitors be allowed to gain

She had light cargo, little over 100 tons.
