general master workmans Work mans report begins as follows for nineteen years the order of knights of labor has maintained Us its existence in the face of circumstances most discouraging and disheartening struggling forward in its infancy beneath the veil ef of secrecy it met with opposition from those in whose behalf t contended later on it faced the world as the advocate of j justice for the poor and found all who were enemies cf the oppressed against it in all of these years it has had bad to brave the taunts and insults of wavy many whose interests it served the adoption of the declaration of principles ten tan years ago this order has had bad the opposition of all who despised their principles but the abe year whose ending we witnessed at this session has been most moist trying and discouraging to those whose wish waw to see a harmonious blending of all classes of workers beneath the shield of knighthood many causes combined to reduce the number of those who swore allegiance to the principles of the knights of labor the circulation of FALSE STAT statements concerning the strength of the order drove away thousands who regarded ded quantity as being superior to quality in the indoe mae up of the membership member snip of labor organizations when the rumor went forth quarters that the numbers were dropping down those members who looked to others for what they should do themselves dropped out also when a difference of opinion between the general offices became heralded broadcast by those who always magnified the num numbers who looked for unity among the me of fibers instead of doing their duty by waiting until they could replace these officers with others withdrew from the order temporarily the story so of often ten c circulated Im plated and so wonderfully magnified maguill ed of the extravagance of the general officers frightened others and that ibey too flood stul until this bession would woid assemble in the ranks were uen men whose love of self predominated whose selfish desires could not be suppressed tor for the common weal and on no occasion would they consent to sink self for the good of all the oft told story qt of their grievances sickened and drove bany aaby from the order with an executive board whose members wore were not in harmony with each other who traveled from place to peace denouncing fellow officers and condemning the actions they they were not responsible tor for it could not be wondered that we have lost members the unwise strikes which were entered upon against the laws and principles of the knights of labor swept thousands of our members into and forced them from the order add to all these caus esthe campaign which has ban just closed in the united states in which members and aad assemblies were pitted against each other on a question which never was made part of the declaration of principles and on which they could very well afford to differ without difference to any laws or rules of the order and we wonder not that there has been a fall tailing ID off but that we have passed through a the crucial test with our ranks unbroken 11 r 0 as we find them today he 1 e states THEM TRIALS resulted in good for the order aud and denied anything like effir official aal dishonesty inviting a thorough examination of all thel the books and aad accounts many changes are desired la in the cou constitution so as to avoid the frequent changes which are recommended at each session he rec the total abolition of the sections which provide for the appointment and government of exira exam inibig organizers sers the law as at present framed is a dead letter an examination of sections 22 and 28 23 will show that in addition to we his other duties the general master workman Is required to examine the statement of expenses as reported by the general secretary the treasury department should be held responsible for all moneys passing through its channels mind aad the general tre treasurer durer should be vested with the voto Tower so tar far as declaring the a bill as to which he be is in doubt is concerned at present he be thinks the financial affairs are entrusted isto into too hands bands A responsible person should be entrusted with the management of the finances after speaking of the high estimation in which th abe order is held by many outside of it aid aad showing the multiplicity of detail he must look after he con s we have been treated to many ns ft S courses during the past year on the subject of one man power the chief trouble ro ulle with our or order ader is because of ge the lack of one man power our power has bas been divided to la the gast past and it t be baft worked injury to us the e will of this order crystallized crystallised sed into law and imprinted upon the pages padres of our constitution by the representatives here assembled sem bled should be carried out to the letter Y to do this the he duty is assigned to one man to execute these laws where execute the laws themselves they always fail where each man interprets the law for himself there is sure to be a babel of sound and contusion confusion vest in one man the ower to execute the laws which many favor favor and let him pass upon it allow no Inter interference terence with that man in the performance of his bis duty and you may expect results allow every seif seeker every knave every disturber and fault finder to tio interpret the laws and we have anarchy pure and simple by pandering a to the ignorance of some it jas has given rise to the impression that tile the man who railed against the one man power was a friend to the masses no greater mistake was ever made the man who tells the people they cah cab still act independent of each other on every issue that arises to is I 1 a demagogue no matter how intelligent the people may m a y be they must meet and determine what no one man wants but bat what is best belt tor for all when they meet many MADY cherished theories must give way to PRACTICAL IDEAS and aad when these theme are exacted into law and in trusted to the hands bands of f one man for enforcement every baud band should be stretched forth to aid that one man to carry cairy out the will of bf all men rather than to have as I 1 have had bad so man many hands bands sir stretched etched forth to stay the bori work that your predecessors have assigned to me men have been placed in office with me with whom I 1 would not ilet for a moment associate in a private business enterprise with any hope of success yet for the sake of the good that might follow silence forbearance under such circumstances has been observed by me fancy the ithe condition which the united colonies would have found themselves to in bad the first ten years of the government of the united states been delegated to such men as I 1 describe and the three millions of that day were not greater than those which were placed in the keeping of the general beneral exeen executive tive board of the kniatt of labor after remarking on the influences of the order on public opinion he takes up the pending questions saying the most important questions that can come up this body for consideration are those of finance land I 1 and transportation these great ques tiona are up before the people for discussion and solution they must most be settled by bv the people for it la Is not the interest of politicians to do so those who control our public hibb highway hayg are reaching out with a hand of steel to grasp sad control the government itself it is indeed a battle for supremacy if the masses remain idle and indifferent the classes will rule rate through the power which comes to them through banking backlog railway and land monopolies it is therefore a duty which we should not neglect ct to select the subjects which I 1 have pointed out find and place them prominent ly before our members for discussion he recommends that a special corn coin cittee of three be appointed to take up the matter he advocates a concentration cent ration of energies on these questions and further recommends recommend a the formation of junior assemblies for educating the younger working ng people matters of interest chiefly to the order comes in fora good share abare of attention and he favors a change of time of holding the general assembly tee eleving it comes too dose to election ile he says it might happen that in the heat beat of a particularly exciting campaign that members would woul d mier differ as to political methods and ill feeling be engendered should our annual session be held in the midst of such a contest or soon after one it could not tie be as productive of good as one held at a time when every trace of excitement and feelis feeling of the cam campagino campa gln bad died awa away y he advocated EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK for women the provisional coin cittee to Is referred to as follows scarcely had the ravel

convention were alno t and they legislated ai a they saw the necessity tur it they refused to pass resolutions with which they were not in sympathy at A the close of the assembly a meeting was held lu in ti leago with the avowed of 0 disrupting the whole of the order at AC that meeting it was resolved tu to organize what was known as a sealed scaled provisional ion committee lor jor the purpose 0 of f pur the order decision no 26 wh la is herewith presented fur for the action of the general assembly deals with the question of the right debt of a member of the provisional committee to visit or otherwise middle meddle with the aE assembly of this order A law should be passed at this meeting which should promptly and forever expel irom the order a member who would engage in such dastardly work ds as was wa I 1 inaugurated at the meeting in chias chicago o aro ru visional enal reforms spring from the noblest impulse but the impulse which furthered the assembling of provision al commit ommittee committee omm itee iee was born la in hate nursed in envy arid and grew to its present size in the hope that this great order would one OB a day be brought beneath the rule of men who do not possess the courage or manhood to properly rule them selves no hesitancy an and d m mai sentiment should sway away at this ahli ses session siso let us at once and ana forever put it beyond the power of any man to light fight this order or its principles and remain a member if they will tear down let them tear from the outside and let every true honest aa in the order take sides and either go with these misguided creatures or stand nim firm and celend the order from the vile attacks THESE ATTACKS upon the knights ol of labor come from the persistent opposition which has been shown to the idea of allowing other organizations to control the knights of labor do da not ats me for I 1 do not refer to the trait trade unions I 1 once referred ref erred to this matter at a meeting of this body and

deny their connection with other societies will fill not scruple to destroy the knights of labor it if the opportunity presents itself the |
