 The Knights were doomed. Pub- lie sympathy was alienated by their secret nature and the violence of their strikes.
 Certain ends were achieved, however, by the Knights, and lead CTS like Grand Master Workman Terence V. Powderly greatly infiu- enced the thought of the day. The first restrictive immigration laws and a great many state labor laws came as the result of their suc- cessful lobbying.

MOVE TOWARD UNITY { The craft unions of skilled work were few, but they saw little for themselves in the Knights of Labor and refused it's overtures.
 Under leadership of the Typo graphical Union, they began in 1879 to draw up plans for a na- tional organization. This lowered into an Amalagmated Trade Con- gress inc Tarre Haute in 1881, a mixture of disaffected Knights of Labor, Socialists, and trade union officials.
 This meeting resulted in organ ization of the Federation of Organ ized Trades and Labor Unions of the United States and Canada. But interest languished even in 1883 when Samuel Gompers was chosen chairman.
 In 1886, new convention was held in Columbus, O., and other unions were incorporated into a new organization, the American Federation of Labor, based on 25 strong craft unions with a mem bership of 316,469. The present federation dates it's founding to 1881, however, claiming the earlier federation as it's direct ancestor. GOMPERS HOLDS REINS

faded out of the picture. It sought political means to attain objec- lives now achieved and put behind, like the eight-hour day, arbitra- ton, regulation of apprenticcships, and a federal department of labor. SEVERAL EFFORTS FAIL
 For 10 years no national organ ization of labor existed, though ef- forts were made, like those of the Industrial Congress, the Industrial Brotherhood. Sovereigns of Indus try, Junior Sons of '76, and others.
 None prospered. Socialists, em- bittered by the desperate railroad strikes of 1877, formed the So- cialist Labor party on the princi- pie of the class struggle and a cooperative commonwealth.
 The Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor, organized nearly 10 years before, became in 1878 a national secret organiza- tion, full of rituals, grips. and re- galia. Under the motto, An in. jury to one is the concern of all, it proposed one mighty union os all crafts, creeds, and kinds of

Democratic leaders of the state were getting ready today for the long and heated "cIosed door" sessions that are expected to start tomorrow afternoon at the Hotel Gris- wold, Eastern Point, following the opening of the state con- vcntion. With the makeup Of the ticket entirely undecided, outside of the fact that Gov ernor Wilbur l.. Cross expects to be renOminatcd, the "closed door" sessions are cx- pected to be many and long. lasting long into the night and ending only at an early hour Thursday morning. Needless to say, there are many aspirants for places on the state ticket and the main aim of the party leaders will be to iron out the troubles as much instead or taking them to the floor TOT open discussion.
 With 1,OOS delegates slated to be seated at the convention. plus more than 1000 visitors to the convention, the Hotel Griswold Is unable to meet all demands for accommodations. It is reported that the man. agement Is asking those seek ing rooms to double up and triple up in the rooms where ever possible. Hall cots are at a premium at the Eastern Point hostelry. It will be the largest attendance ever seen at a democratic state cOnvcn- tion. advance reports indicate.
 Mayor Frank Hayes today continued to feature in the news in connection with the nomination for licutcnant-go ernor. His name is also being mentioned for governor, now. If Mayor Hayes was nOmin- ated and elected. he would be the first democratic governor of the state from this city and the first one to occupy the gubernatorial chair from Waterbury since ex-Governor Charles A. Templcton retired.
 The republicans are not without their worries as to the makeup of their state ticket, also. a task which they will have to tackle next week in Hartford. If Gov ernor Roy Wilcox of Meriden Is given the 2. o. D. gubernato- rial nomination 1t means that there will be a scramble on for the lieutcnan-tgOvern ship.

American labor movement from the beginning
 For instance, there was almost no labor movement as a national force in this country until after the Civil war. There was no labor unions in the modern sense in the American colonies under British rule.
 There were fraternal and benev- olent societies among mechanics, printers, shoesmakers, smiths, car- penters-interested in mutual old age protection, accident insurance, loans, and standards of work.
 NO UNIONS IN THOSE DAYS
 But they were not labor unions in to-day's sense at all. The ear- Hest organizations were all those of skilled labor. Shoemakers or- ganized in Philadelphia in 1792, and in 1794 there was a Typo graphical Society.
 But these were purely local craft organizations, each indepen- dent. The railway, newspaper, and telegraph had not yet made the country a unit.
 Philadelphia printers struck in 17S6, and in 1906 scabs were beat tIl anu WLHuOWS pkohSH py Atto. brugh shoemakers. The first "col- lective bargaining" was by the shoemakers in Philadelphia in 1799, and the first closed-shop fight was by the cordwainers Heather workers) in Philadelphia in 1794. But these small local first-begin-
 nings of labor's efforts to help it. self were unimportant in the na- tional scene
 RISE AFTER CIVIL WAR Not until after these small local organizations had been repeatedly wiped out by depressions, as in 1887, not until the Civil war had
 been fought, and the free land of the west began to give out, did la and begin to be a national force. In 1850 the Typogra phical Union created a national organi- zation. The growth of industry during the Civil war fostered unionism. In two years unions rose from 70 to 27o, and 10 na- tionals were organized.
 It Is interesting to note the list -plasterers, curriers' Heather fin- ishers). ship carpenters and caul- kers, cigar makers, coach-makers, painters, heaters, tailors, carpen- ters and joiners, bricklayers and masons.
 | By the end of the eos, there were 32 national unions. By 1872 about 300,000 organized workers were supporting 120 papers and journals.
 BONDMEN WORRY LABOR Tn 1864 Congress adopted policy which had far-reaching ef- fleets on American labor. It au- thorized contractors to import labor and bind it to service to work out Its passage money.
 A flood of immigration followed, much of it willing to work IA, to 16 hours day for whatever was offered.
 Other immigrants. driven out by tyranny and the prosecutions that followed the revolutions of 1848 in Europe, flocked to America. Native labor grew uneasy.
 The first effort to organize labor on a national scale was in 1864, when the Industrial Assembly of North America" met in Louisville,
 Ky. It failed to raise enough funds to make real beginning.
 Two years later the National La- bor Union was formed. It met an- nually until 1872. but dwindled and
