LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 1.-THE
general assembly Of the knights Of La
Dor, which has been in session in this
city since the early part of the week,
completed it's work today and adj
journed until the second Tuesday of
next November, when it will convene
again in Chicago. Today's proceedings
were the most interesting and spirited
of any day since the session began.
Many questions of national significance
were discussed and in each case resc-
lutions We're passed expressing the
sentiment of the orSa llzatton on the
several matters.
At the afternoon sessions resolutions
were passed eulogizing the late Henry
George. Briefly stated, they set forth
that one of the ab,est advocates Of
labor's cause has passed away, one
who had secured greater confidence
from the wage earners thar any other
man in this decade, and that in his
death the wo"klls;men had lost enc Of
their most sincere friends.
Resolutions were also passed COM
mending the seruc.s Of Past Master
Workman Sovereign. Other resolu-
tions were adopted as follows: Declar-
ing In favor of the independence Of
Cuba; cOndemning the alleged basty
action of the deputy sheriffs In the
Hazelton affair and calling upon the
government to take such steps as will
bring tn offenders to justice; denounc-
ing the Cleveland administration for
matching the sale Of the Union Pa
cific railroad. and the present admins
istration for carrying out the plan;
condemning re act of the brewery
workers of the American Federation Of
Labor in seeking by alleged unfair
means to force the knights of Labor
employees Of the Rochester Brewing
company TO Withdraw in favor of the
federation, and the executive board was
authorized to take such steps as Will
bring the offenders to account for what
is considered a most unfair action. If
it is found necessary, the board is
also authorized to retaliate by declar-
ing war against the products Of all
American breweries whose employees
are Federation of Labor men.
The cooperation board was instructed
to obtain all the information possible
Knights of Labor and to attempt to
establish colonies for cooperative
plants in all states where the proper
advantages can be secured The
scheme. it is thought, will give en-
ployment to thousands of idle work
iDgmen.
The financial question occasioned no
end of discussion and finally resulted
in the adoption OF resolutions denounc-
ing strongly the present banking sys-
tenn as advocated by the national bank
ers
A delegate to the general assembly
frcm New York City and one Of the
most prominent in the body, said this
evening that Mr.. Sovereign, beyond
doubt, would be a candidate for the
nomination for president in 1900 "If,"
he said, Mr. Bryan insists on making
a. fight for the nomination. Mr.. Sow
ereign will not oppose him for the two
are warm friends. In that event, Mr..
Sovereign will become a candidate for
the nomination for vice president. 1t
was natural for Mr.. Sovereign to deny
the report as ne did not care for the
capitalists to interfere this early in his
canvass and thus greatly injure him
before the fight was fairly on"
