ROCHESTER,. y. Y. Nov 1S.-The
ilrst session to-day Of the general as
scmbly Knights OF Labor. was taken up
In discussing recommendations OF Che
committee on the state OF the order and
reports OF general officers on which no
decision was reached. Tho convention
will probably not adjourn tomorrow
night.
There was q recommendation intro
duced that, instead OF endorsing free
coinage OF silver, 4 declaration OF that
tenor be made portion OF the pream-
bic which would prevent any one not In
favor OF the free coinage OF silver at the
ratio OF lG TO becoming member OF
the order, This recommendation was
not acted upon.
There was also Il recommendation In
tr0duced TO establish subordinate
degree known as minute men.
At the afternoon session OF the general
assembly the committee reported aS
their recommendation the following res
olutlon:
"Thnt In the opinion OF the general
assembly while monetary reform Is fully
provided for in the sixteenth md seVen-
tccnth planks OF our preamble, the free
coinage OF gold and silver at the ratio OF
lG TO l. regardless OF the action OF any
other nation. IS important, looking to-
ward the ultimate success OF the sys-
TEN we desire, and We therefore heartily
endorse the agitation for and support OF
free coinage as u means to the end we
seek"
After lengthy discussion the report
was re-committed. the general sentiment
being that 1t was hardly as strong an
expression as the order was prepared to
make.
The recommendations in general Sec

adopted as recommended. The recon-
mendations provided that the general

glassworkers; that the industry shall
be retained in tho control OF native

The question before the assembly at

difference OF opinion on this subject and
It will probably cause lengthy discuss
