KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Proceedings of the Special Convention of the General Assembly at Cleveland, 0. Work or Die Convention— The Executive Botird Increased from Fire to Eleven Members—lmportant Measures Acted Upon. SECOND DAY’S SESSIOX. Cleveland, 0., May 27.— 1 t was nearly eleven o'clock yesterday morning before the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor was rapped to order by Grand Mastei Work man Powderly. In the meantime the dele gates congregated in groups in the hall and corridors discussing labor topics. When the call for the convention was issued by Mr. Powderly, he only enumerated five causes of complaint that were to be adjusted. Those were boycotts, strikes, the Southwest troubles, the relation of the Knights of La bor to other organizations and the institut ing of new assemblies. Since the delegates have arrived many of them have plans that they would like to spring upon the special sess on. Whether these will be discussed or laid upon the table cannot be determined as yet One of these plans is to agitate the subject of the Government regulatiug the railroads. A member, Mr. Harmond, ot Allegheny City, Pa., has prepared a long address upon this subject and the delegate from his dis trict will try to secure a hearing for him. The gentleman’s address also deals with the project of a National Arbitration Board. Another matter was made public by free discussion. For some time past the Ex ecutive Board have not been satisfied with some of the organizers of the order, and several have had charges preferred and had their commissions recalled. A number of organizers are not giving satisfaction, so to prevent hard feeling by removing these men il is proposed to have the commissions of every organizer from the chief down re called. A reporter asked Mr. Richard Trevelick.the Thief Organ zer, about the matter and that gentleman said: “It is true that such a plan is being agitated. Much of the trouble in the order rising from rapidly increasing membership and the installation of our as semblies is due to poor organization. It is not the fault of either Mr. Powderly or the Executive Board. In making appointments they must rely upon the recommendations of the District Assemblies. They do not, can not know all the men recommended and appointed. A tew weeks ago in one city I met au organizer who, I regret to say, wa- under the influence of liquor. I asked him where he was going and he informed me that he was going to institute an assem bly of five hundred striking Polacks and Hungarians. This is against the rules of the order, as we can admit no strikers while they are out. I told him so, but lie replied that he held a commission ns organizer and would do as he pleased. 1 told him he could Institute the assembly, but it would never receive a charter. Only a few days ago at a reception tendered me by ladies an organizer was intoxicated. It would make hard feelings to ask for their commissions, so it is proposed to make them ante-up from the chief organizer down. This can be done by Mr. Powderly alone, by the Executive Board as much or by the Executive Board under instruction from the General Assembly. The best way is the latter, and I think it will be done in that manner. New organizers w ill be commis sioned as fast as possible.and will be selected because of their fitness for the position.” The business of the morning session was the acceptance of the report of the commit tee on credentials. The new delegates were then admitted to the hall and the obligation administered. Delegates were admitted only from such districts as were represented at the • convention held last year in Hamil ton, Out,-this being a special session of that General Assembly and districts since insti tuted notbeing eligible to membership in the existing, body. Mr. Powder!y’s address was then de livered extemporaneously. He referred the delegates to the call to learn what business ' as to be brought forward, and taking up liie five subjects of strikes, boycotts, labor .roubles, difficulties with trades unions, and .he increasing membership, one by one, lie ’ lvised most careful thought and full dis cussion upon all questions, lie asked that harmony, prudence and discretion should predominate in all matters and that the i fTairs of the convention should be. acted upon with consideration and dispatch. The best part of the address treating of matters ntirely within the prov ince of the order cannot be made public. Mr. Powderly resumed his seat amid pro longed applause, and upon motion appointed standing committees of five upon each of the following subjects: Laws, strikes, boy cotts. relation of Knights of Labor to other organizations. A special committee of five wis appointed to whom was referred the addresses of the President and Secretary of the National Womans’ Christian Temper ance Union. A committee of five was also selected to take action upon the matter of the organi zation of the American Manufacturers’ Union, as proposed by Edwin Norton in his address on Tuesday. At one o’clock the convention took a recess until eight o'clock this morning so as to give ample time to the committee to do the work laid before them. THiitn pay’s session. Cleveland, May 28. —The General As sembly of the Knights of Labor began its session at 8:80 o’clock yesterday morning. The committee on laws presented a partial report embodying a number of propositions, only one ot which was taken up. The first proposition was that the Executive Board should be increased from five to eleven members. The great growth of the order since the original executive committee was decided upon demands that the work be distributed among more com mitteemen. The morning was spent in discussing the proposition. After three hours’ discussion, pro and eon, the matter was recommitted to the committee. A large number of local Grangers, and in some States the body of Grangers, have gone into the Knights of Labor as District Assemblies. The farmers’ orders largely ass'sted the Knights in the late strikes in the Southwest and, to show an appreciation of brotherly aid. the General Assembly ap pointed a committee to prepare an address to the Grange to be presented at its National Convention. A committee upon legislation was also ap pointed. To this committee the paper on National supervision of railroads was re ferred. The committee will have charge of all matters that members would like to bring before Congress and to them the peti tion of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Land As sociation will be presented by the president of that organization together with the bill providing for homesteaders’ aid in building up homes in the West At 1:30 o’clock a recess was taken until eight o’clock this morning, at which time it is expected the committee on the state of the order will be prepared to report. The Grievance Committee was employed all the afternoon in hear ng complaints from the Pittsburgh oigaunakei*’ union. Efforts h«\t* been mmie tu have till** union rrt«p<l itilO til? Kfiiflil? tl i sK’tt W fJJ'WNW objection is being made by the Pittsburgh delegates. No decision was reached. A scheme is also <m foot to take the Typo graphical Unions into the fold of the Knights as a District assembly. This movement is meeting with the enthusiastic approval of the local union and their delegate has been instructed to vote in favor of it. John Jartett, ex President of the Amal gamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, James lledpath and Henry George, of New York, are in the city. Their pres ence here at this time is regarded as an evidence of the popular interest taken in (he convention. Messrs. Jartett and George delivered addresses on the labor question to the American Congress of Churches at Music Hall last night. Mr. Powderly was also invited to address the Congress but de clined. FOURTH DAY’S SESSION. Cleveland, May 29. —The Knights of Labor settled down to solid work yesterday morning and held two sessions, business be ing transacted on the eight-hour plan, from eight to twelve o’clock in the morning and two to six o'clock in the afternoon. v After the opening preliminaries, the committee on laws presented their report, the first propo sition of which was substantially the same as Thursday, that the Executive Board of the Knights of Labor be increased from five to eleven members. After an hour’s discussion the proposition was adopted without change. The six new members will be elected by bal lot, similarly to the other officers and the ones elected at the present convention will serve during the unexpired year that ends in October. It was decided to establish per manent headquarters for the Executive Board in Philadelphia, and if deemed nec essary the board may sit throughout the year instead of assembling at the call of the Grand Master Workman. A resolution was carried tiiat gave the Grand Master Work man the authority to recall the commissions of every organizer in the order. The ac complishment of this work is greatly due to the three general organizers, Richard Trev elick, of Michigan; Bei t Denny, of Pitts burgh, and Carrolton, of Ohio. Denny is in the convention and the other two have been working outside. The subject of appointing competent organizers and the means to be taken for their selection was being discussed when the noon recess occurred. In the afternoon session a copy of a reso lution adopted by (he Woman Suffragists, assembled in annual convention at Toledo, 0.. was read. The resolution urged the order to extend to women all the rights and privileges of membership; to secure for wo men equal compensation for equal work with men, and to give its support to the cause of female suffrage. The resolution was referred to a special committee of three. After the disposition of the resolution an address was read from the recent conven tion of Trades Unions at Philadelphia. The address sets forth that the claim of some of the Knights of Labor that the officers of the unions are not in favor of consolidation for the reason that they would thereby be thrown out of munificent positions, is unfounded, inasmuch as only nine of the thirty-six unions that participated in the convention pay their executive officers a salary and they only receive from sl2 to S2O per week; that trades unions are not antagonistic to the Knights of Labor; there is a proper field for both organizations and there need be no conflict; that the trades unions were formed at a time when capitalists were trying to lower the standard of skilled labor for the purpose of introducing pauper labor and doing away with the apprentice system; that the trades unions are not hostile.to the Knights of Labor; th% existing troubles be ing the outcome of a scheme originated by the capitalists of the country to destroy both orders. The address asserts that the object of the formation of trades unions still exists, and there is no doubt of the perpetuation of the organizations. The address closes with a very vague ref erence to the increase in membership of the unions, inasmuch as it does not give the length of time required for the Increase mentioned, after which comes a treaty which provides that no assembly of the Knights of Labor can be formed of any trade without the consent of the nearest trades’ union of that craft. Where such assemblies have already been formed they shall be required to disband and join mixed assemblies. No person shall he admitted to the order of the Knights of Labor who has been convicted of scabbing, ratting or em bezzlement in the the trades’ unions without exoneration from said unions; that no per son shall be admitted to membership in the Knights of Labor who is working for less than the Union scale of wages of his craft. The treaty closes by stipulating that the Knights of Labor shall issue no trade-marks that may in any way compete or conflict with trade marks issued by the trades unions. The address and treaty were re ferred to the* Committee on the State of the Order, who had taken no action upon it up to a late hour last evening. J. J. Shanahan, member of the Ohio Legislature, and a delegate of the Dairy men’s Association, held a long conference with Delegate Cameron, of the Knights of Labor, yesterday afternoon, concerning the alliance of the two organizations in Ohio. Mr. Cameron promised to bring the matter before the convention to-day, if possible. A telegram from Washington was received in the convention yesterday afternoon from Mr. Reil, who is representing the dairy men’s interests in connect ion with the oleo margarine bill now before Congress, stating that it had been represented there that the Knights of Labor as a body was not in favor of protecting dairy products. To this the following n*»!y was sent: John G. Carlisle. Wnshinptlii, D 1.'.: Acting under instruct the Gen eral Assembly of the Rights nf%.. hor. I de sire to state that no person has been au thorized to speak for this organization either in the affirmitive or negative on the question of regulat ng the sale of oleomargarine now pending in Congress. Please bring this mat ter to the attention of the proper committee. T. V. Powderly, Grand Master Workman. The convention adjourned at 5:80 p. m. FIFTH DAY’S SESSION. Cleveland, May 81.—The four hours’ session of the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor Saturday morning was passed in the discussion of the nioton made Friday to refer the report of the Executive Board on the relation of the order to trades’ unions to the Committee on State of the Order. Speeches were made by a number of leading members and from their tenor it is certain that the trades’ unions will not get all they ask. It is more than probable that | the affair will rema n unsettled. After a short discussion the whole matter was referred to the committee and a few moments later Mrs. Sarah M. Perkins, of this city, appeared at the door of the ante room to (lie convention hall and sent a note to Mr. Powderly saying (hat she had been delegated by the Ohio Woman’s Suffrage Association to present an address to the i General Assembly. A recess was taken to i admit the lady and Mrs. Perkins was es ; ported to the platform and introduced to tiie convention. The lady's remarks were well 1 received and generous applause followed as she was escorted from the room by the re ception committee of three delegates. The committee on laws’ second proposi tion Wfs the recommendation that where practicable unattached local assemblies should become part of District Assemblies anil transact business with the General As sembly through them. After a short dis cussion the proposition was adopted, The «*••?{*»)’ ffKtfj (t ietlei IjtUfl (iftivetdfffij relating to the hardships of strikers who an confined in the jail of that city for “con structive qontempt,’’ and asking the Genera Assembly to do something to obtain fot them privileges given persons similarly charged in other courts of the United States. The following resolution was presented and unanimously adopted: Wiilhlas, The Jails of Galvhston, Dallas an t elsewhere in Texas are filled with broth l er Knights suffering for “contempt ot ! court." as issued by Judge Pardee, be it Uesoired. By this General Assembly that | we petition Grover Cleveland, President of the Cnited States, to exercise clemency in their behalf, ns the United States Judges have ordered a release of all prisoners sen teneed during the strikes on the Southwest system, and thus lie the means of causing bptter feeling between employers and em ployes. A committee of two was appointed to draft suitable documents to be forwarded to the President, asking him to exercise clem ency toward the imprisoned members of the order. The committee appointed on Friday to respond to the telegram received from the Toledo convention presented an address that was unanimously adopted and ordered ■ to be sent to Mrs. Mary P. S. Frazier, the I secretary. The last business of the day was the adoption of a motion that all committees should be prepared to report in full at two o’clock next Wednesday afternoon, and the session took a recess until eight o’clock this morning. There was much indignation among the delegates at the proposed treaty of the trades unions when the document was made public through the newspapers. The gen eral reply to all questions concerning it was: “They want the earth, hut will not get it.” Mr. Griffiths, of Chicago, Worthy Foreman of the Knights of Labor, and next to Mr. Powderly in office, when asked his opinion of the demand said: "That treaty will be torn ail up. The time has come for the Knights of Labor to make a stand. To take that treaty or to treat with the trades unions upon that basis would be a virtual giving up of the order. Now in their ad dress the trades unions make a great boast of the growth of their various organizations. I know that the Carpenters’ and Joiners’ Brotherhood of Chicago is going to pieces and its members are working for amalga tion with the Knights of Labor. This is a critical period and we have got to have backbone or die.” ■fames Campbell, of Pittsburgh, the rep resentative of the Window and Glass Work ers’ Assembly, the wealthiest body in the Knights of Labor, when asked a similar question caustically replied: “We don’t have to accept it.” Mr. Haller, of the In ternational Cigar Makers’ Union, said that the unions were not prepared to accept any terms other than embodied in the treaty. He thought that in the event of no reconcil iation being effected the matter would Ire referred to the annual conventions ot the several trades’ unions, two ot which will be held in Pittsburgh next week, and they will outline the policy to be pursued in the mat ter in the future. The delegates spent Sunday in visiting the different places of interest in and about the city, not a few going to Lake View to inspect the Garfield monument now in the course of erect on and see the coffin in which the remains of the dead President now r repose. Mr. Powderly exerted himself as little as possible throughout the day, hus banding his strength for the arduous duties of the week before him. SIXTH DAY’S SESSION. Cleveland, June I.—The Knights of Labor convention reassembled at 8:30 o’clock yesterday morning. A letter of greeting to the Convention of Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers that convenes in Pittsburgh to-day was lead and adopted and ordered sent to the secretary of the Association. The special committee on legislation presented a partial report that was adopted. It was decided to send a committee of three to Washington to pre sent the demands of the order to Congress. A resolution asking Congress to declare election day a legal holiday was passed. At the afternoon se«k>n the report pre sented byswawji on Strikes and Boyqr'ts recommending that all authority be vested in the Executive Committee, was taken up and after discussing the subject until 7:30 o’clock the convention adjourned, without having arrived at a settlement of the question. It is hinted that other busi ness was transacted, but what it was could not lie learned. Robert Schilling, a delegate, formerly ot Cleveland, but now of Milwaukee, come’ forward with the statement was the birthplace of the imiev of the Knights of Labor. “It happened in-this way,” said Mr. Schilling to a Uniled Cress reporter last evening. “1 was chosen mair ntan of a committee appointed to ptv;«:e a constilut on for the Industrial Congre-s, which was to have met at Rochester in 1874 The order was so volatile, however, that before the time set for the convention there was nothing left of it. When the Kn'ghts of Labor held their first General Assembly, at Reading, l’a., in 1878, 1 was chosen a delegate. When the question of a constitu tion came up I offered the one I had pre pared for the Industrial Congress, tour years previous, and it was adopted, with but slight amendments.” Delegate Kaufner gave it out last night that the Knights of Labor came out of their fight with the Amalgamated Associat on of Iron and Steel Workers in better shape than they anticipated. When the convention opened, lie says, the Amalgamated men were very radical, but after reviewing the sit uation they waived theobjection concerning men who were not obtaining the union scale of wages and moderating their tone toward the men they designate as “scabs.” It was agreed at the conference between President Wiehe, Secretary Martin and Mr. Powderly, last Tuesday evening, that every rolling ! mill employe applying for admission to the i Knights of Labor shall be thoroughly inves ■ tigated as to his past conduct and if anything especially obnoxious to the Amalgamated Association is found against him he is to be "blackballed'’ by the Knights. The settlement is satisfactory to both organizations. A committee of Knights was appointed to attend the Amalgamated Association Convention in Pittsburgh next week, to make arrangements whereby the two orders tnay work harmoniously in rolling mill districts. Among the various addresses with which the different delegates are primed is one that, it is claimed, will shortly be adopted by the convention, asking Congress to pass a bill to establish a Government training school at which boys may learn trades of all kinds. It wi 11 be asked that tine school be conducted on the principles governing the West Point Military and Annapolis Naval academies. The Knights claim that it i 3 just as necessary that the youth of the country receive an industrial as well” as a military or naval education. The Blue and Gray, an organization of the old soldiers, who fought in either army of the rebellion, now belonging to the Knights of Labor, held a meeting at the Forest City House last night. An address prepared by L. H. Shay, to theo.d soldiers in the Knightsof Labor stating that the object of the order was pence, which must prevail, if they had to fight for it, was adopted, after which the election of officers took place. Thomas Green, an ex Confederate, was elected Commander; L. K. Shay, (Fed eral,) Vice Commander; D. H. Patterson, (Federal,) Adjutant; the Quartermaster elected is an old Union soldier, and the { Oitidpr of the Day and Officer of the c/ I tttf CGt uuMfi lies A CURIOUS CUSTOM. How tire Young Men of Purbeck “Take tip" Their Freedom* A curious old custom among the quarrrymen of the Isle ot Purbeck was : observed lately at Corfe Castle. There, is among the quarrvmen a charter bear- j ing the date of 1551, which is rigorously , obeyed, in order to keep the working of the stone quarries in the hands of tree men. To be able to take up one’s free- j dom one must be the legitimate son of a freeman. He must be twenty-one years of age, up to which time his wages belong to his parents. Once during the year the quarrvmen meet at Corfe Castle town hall, and there read the charter, and on that occasion—namely, Shrove-Tuesday—“free boys” claim and take up their freedom. On this morning a large number of quarrvmen assem bled in the town hall, Corfe Castle, and proceeded to the election of officers, after which about twelve freemen were sworn in. Each man has to sign the roll of freemen, pay a fee of 6s. Bd. (about $1.65), provide a penny loaf made on put pose by the baker of the place and to buy a pot of beer. The man thus sworn becomes his own master. Should any of the freemen de sire to marry during the next year he has to pay to the stewards a “marriage shilling;” and should he neglect to do this his wife loses all interest in the quarry, and can not take an apprentice to work for her. After the above busi ness was transacted the ceremony of “kicking die ball” commenced. The ball is provided by the man who was last married among the freemen, and is.presented in lieu of the “marriage shilling.” If it should so happen that no freemen has married since the pre vious Shrove-Tuesday the old foot-ball is used. The ball was taken from the town hall to a field at Corfe Castle and there kicked about by any one who wished. Those very novel proceedings terminated by the ball and a pound of pepper being taking to the lord of the manor as an acknowledgment to him in respect of the way to river Ovver. — In terior. —The total annual cost to the Gov ernment of the 716 men employed in the United States military hands is $269,738. In addition they receive from the savings of the post bakeries twin from subscriptions and outside earnings enough to bring their total re ceipts up to $296,724.

Friends of Ek President Arthur are very much disquieted. Of course he is not going to tiie! Be Is in the hands of a very particular physician. His doctor does not call it Bright’s Dis ease! No, it is stomach disorder that he is suffering from now, and every few hours be takes a cold, and from time to time many other symptoms are developed. These symptoms the public should know are real ly secondary to Bright’s Disease. His physicians say that everything that tnedical skill can do for him is being done. That is not so I This case is a prominent otte because the General is an ex-President; and yet there are thousands of fhrmers quietly dying, id their farm houses, of secondary symptoms Of Bright’s Disease, called by every other conceivable naiiie j thousands of w orkmen, likewise dying, leaving helpless families; hundreds of thousands in all walks of life who have sickened, and are likewise dying; helpless victims of powerless physicians. Eight years ago a very well known gentleman was about to enter upon large commercial transactions. His medical ad viser quietly dropped into his office one day and told his confidential clerk that he would be dead in three months, and that be ought to settle up his business affairs at once! That man is alive and well to-day, yet he was given up as incurable with the same disease that is killing General Arthur! Our reporter met this gentleman yester day and in conversation about the Gener al’s case, he said: “ I will give $5,000 to any charitable in “ stitution in the State of New- York, to be “ designated by the editor of the New “ York World, the editor of the Buffalo “ Yen'* and \V. E. Kisselburgh of the Troy “ Times, if Warner’s safe cure (taken ac “ cording to my directions) which cured “ me eigut years ago, can not cure General “Chester A. Arthur of Bright’s disease “ from which he is suffering.” “ Now I want you to understand,” he said, “that we do not profess to make new “ kidneys, but we do know from personal “ experience .and from the experience of “ many thousands of similar cases, that “ we can stop the consumption of the kid “neys. Many a man has gone through “ life with one kidney without inconven “ ience. Thousands of people have lived “ a majority of their life with one lung. “ They did not have a new lung made. We “ do not make new kidneys, hut if the kid* “ ney is not consumed too much we can “ stop disease and prolong life if taken in “ time ” This offer comes from 11. H. Warner, pro prietor of Warner's safe cure, of this city. Mr. Warner also sarid: “My dear sir, “there are Governors, Senators, Presi dential candidates, members of Congress, “prominent men and women all over the “country whom I personally know have “been cured of disease, such as General “Arthur suffers from, by our Warner's “safe cure, but owing to the circles in “which they move they do not care to “give public testimonial to the fact.” Mr. Warner is interested in General Ar thur’s case because he is personally ac quainted with him and he says that it is a shame that any man should be allowed to die under the operation of old-fashioned powerful cathartics, which have no cura tive effects, rather than that a modern, conceded specific for kidney disease whose worth is acknowledged world wide, should save him. “If you doubt the efficacy of Warner’s safe cure,” say the proprietors, “ask your friends and neighbors about it. This is asking but little. ‘ They can tell you all you want to know.” “We have kept a standing offer before the public for four years,” said Mr. Warner, “that we will give $5,000 to any person who can successfully dispute the genuineness, so far as we kuow, of the testimonials we publish, and none have done it.” Were General Arthur a poor man, un able to be left “in the hands of his physi cian,” he would use that great remedy, as many thousands of others have done, and get well. How absurd then for people to say that every thing that can be done is being done for the ex-President. w'hen the one successful remedy in the world that has cured, or that can cure a case like his, has not been used by them. The worm must be contagious or the early bird would not catch it. —Merchant Traveler. “The Short Line Limited.” To meet the growing demand for im. proved facilities for handling the business between Chicago and Bt. Paul and Minne apolis, the Chicago & Northwestern Rail way has added a new fast train to those heretofore run. It is called “The Short Line Limited” because of the fact that the Northwestern is the (Short Line between the above cities. The new train is magnifi cent in all of its appointments every thing being entirely new and refitted for this service. It makes the run each way in a little over twelve hours, starting early in the evening and arriving at its destination the next morning in time for an early breakfast. The importance of this innova tion will doubtless be readily recognized and appreciated by those whose interests require rapid transit to and from th* Northwest. “Through by daylight” —The house breaker. — Life. “Over and Over Again.’* Repetition is sometimes the only way to impress a truth upon the mind.

A change of sea son, climate, or of life, has such a depressing effect upon the body that one feels all tired out, almost com pletely prostrated, the appetite Is lost, and there la no ambition to do anything. The whole tendency of the system Is downward. In this condition Hood's Sarsa parillals just the medicine needed. It purifies the blood, sharpens the appetite, overcomes the tired feeling, and invigorates every function of the body. Try it. “Inevertook any medicine that did me so much good in so short r„ time as Hood's Sarsaparilla. 1 was very much run down, had no strength, no energy, and felt very tired all .the time. 1 commenced taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and before I had used on« bottle felt like a different person. tired feel ing has gone, my appetite returned, and It toned me up generally. My brother and sister have also re ceived gieat benefit fron It.” Claka W. P HELPS, Shirley, Mass. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by ail druggists. »1; six for *5. Prepared o»Iy by C. I.
