THE GENERAL OFFICERS ‘The next session of the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor will begin in Washington, as heretofore st ted in The Star, November 12, and it 1s expected that it will require fully two weeks for the transaction of all the important business that will be brougat before it. Not only will most of the proceedings be conducted behind cloged doors, but even the names of the delegates will be withheld from the public. As the general officers of the body were elected at the last annual meeting to serve for two years, there will be no election at the approaching meeting, and the entire session will be devoted to taking such measures as will, it is hoped, result In per- manent good to the order. Looking to Next Year's Campaign. While there is no one in this city who is willing to foreshadow what the assembly will probably do, yet from the little the local leaders have said it can be assumed that the assembly will take steps to bear a prominent part in the next presidential election. All the labor papers claim that the Knights of Labor are now possessed of sufficient strength to make themselves felt as an influence in public affairs, and yield- ing to this sentiment the members of the General Assembly will, it is said, do all in thelr power to place a man who, if not himself a member of the Knights of Labor, will at least be a thorough sympathizer with the cause of organized labor, in the presidential chair after March 4, 1897. The taking of such a step in politics will not be a conflict with the principles of the Knights of Labor, which declare that the K. of L. “is not a political party, it is more—for in it are crystallized sentiments and measures for the benefit of the whole people—but it should be borne in mind when exercising the right of suffrage that most of the objects herein set forth can only be obtained through legislation, and that It is the duty, regardless of party, of all to as- sist in nominating and supporting with their votes such candidates as will support these measures. The assembly will also, it 1s understood, take a firm stand on the subject of the gov- ernment obtaining possession under the right of eminent domain of all telegraphs, telephores and railroads, and that here- after no charter or license shall be issued to any corporation for construction or operation of any means of transporting in- telligence, passengers or freight. Changes in the Constitution. It is also expected that there will be some important changes in the constitution, as at | the last session in New Orleans the general executive board was directed to codify the various amendments made from time to time to the constitution, and to strike out unnecessary or conflicting paragraphs, and submit the result of its work to the ap- proaching General Assembly for adoption or rejection. It is thought that the assembly will be composed of about 150 delegates, but nothing definite is yet known on this point. Origin of the Order. The Knights of Labor are now in the twenty-sixth year of their existence, the order having been founded by the late Uriah S. Stephens in 1869, under the title of the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor. Mr. Stephens was a remarkable man, his life work being devoted to the up- building of the condition of his fellow man. He wanted no office, and was a genuinely modest and unassuming man. His aim, as he expressed it, was to the slaves of wages from the yoke of talism.” It was his belief that this object could be best obtained behind the veil of secrecy, and it almost broke his hear! when, under the leadership of his successor, T. V. Powderly, the order was made publi ‘The Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor when Stephens was at its head aimed at the abolishment of wage slavery and the establishment of a co-operative commonwealth, Stephens early perceived that the pure and simple trade union, organized to fight the capitalist. in the shop alone, was natural enough in England, where the workers were disfranchised originally, and where the franchise given later w not effectually much freer. Accordin; the organization which he conte was intended “to unite the political with the economic movement for the purpose of apturing the public powers, and with the of that powerful lever to place upon the statute books the laws that should overthrow capitalism and free the toiling ‘The present general officers of the K. of L are James R. Sovereign, general ma workman; Michael J. Bishop, general worthy foreman; John W. Hayes, general secretary- treasurer; Thomas B. McGuire, member of the executive board; Henry B. Martin, mem- ber of the executive board and editor of the purnal of the Knights of Labor; C. A. rench and James M. Kenny, members of the executive board. General Master Workman Sovereign. james R. Sovereign was born at Cassville, s., May 30, 1854. His parents having re- moved to western Missouri, he was, at the age of two years, placed In the care of his grardparerts, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. So: ereign, who lived near West Elgin, Ill. Here he remained until the death of his grand- father, fourteen years later. Upon attain- ing his majority he became a marble carvi and followed the trade until Iss, when he established a paper which advocated the ples of the Knights of Labor. In 180 8 appointed commissioner of labor s of Iowa, and served with great acceptance io the public for four years. General Worthy Foreman Bishop. Michael J. Bishop, general worthy fore- man, is a native of Brooklyn, N. Y., where he was born May 12, 1856. He is by ocen: tion a baker, but has also served as an in- surance solicitor.

The actual work of constructing the F street electric line of the Metropolitan Rail- way Company was begun th's morning at the corner of South Carolina avenue and th street southeast, Lincoln Square. Long before the time for commencing operations for the day an immense crowd of men, nearly all of whom were colored, assembled for the purpose of asking for employment. Col. Perry Carson was also very early on the scene, «nd interested himself in a number of those present. Fully nine-tenths of those looking for werk were doomed to disappointment, not more than fifty being given employment by the Toreman for the contractor. It was stated by one of the bosses that the reson so few men Were engaged was that the sup- ply of picks became exhausted, and that it was Impossible to work more’ men to ad- vantage at that time. An additional lot of tools was, however, ordered by the fore- man, and they are expected to arrive during the day, when, the foreman sald, he would take on more men. Now It was understood to be the wish both of the rilway company and Contractor Saxton the work as rapidly as possible, and ith this end in view employment will be given to all the men who are able to hanale a pick or shovel that can be profitably managed. ee HIGH 1100) DETS. Changes in the © issioned and Non-Co ixsioned Officers. A few surprises were in store for the members of company H at the Western when they assembled in the drill hall Thursday last to hear the official an- nouncement of the appointments for the ensuing year. The names of the officers were not made known on Monday, as was the case at the other schools, because :he military committee did not arrive at a final decision until after the drill of that day.

Street Railway Employes Anxious About a Move t# Philadelphia— Other Assemblies’ Action. General Master Wookman Sovereign and General Secretary-Treasurer Hayes of the Knights of Labor, the latter of whom re- sides in Washington, find themselves con- fronted with a knotty problem in reference to the non-compliance of an order issued by them to the Window Glass Workers’ Asso- clation of Pittsburg to strike, and it is probable that Mr. Hayes will go to that city during this week and there meet Mr. Sovereign, where the two officials will try to settle the trouble. It was expected by the members of the Window Glass’ Workers’ Association that Messrs. Sovereign and Hayes would be present at their meeting Friday night last, but at the last meeting messages were re- ceived stating that both had been unavoid- ably detained and were unable to be pres- ent. ‘The cause of the existing difficulty is that some time ago Messrs.Soverelgn and Hayes, acting for the executive board, ordered the Window Glass Workers’ Association of Pittsburg to strike out of sympathy for scme striking uskilled workers in Indiana, and whose places have been filled by others. The Window Glass Workers’ Association refused to do so, unless they could be as- sured that the Indiana strikers had enough funds on hand to pay the members of the latter organization for the time they were out. Unless speedily adjusted the trouble will, it Is feared, extend to other assemblies of the Knights of Labor. It is understood that the claim of the Window Glass Workers’ Association is that the condition upon which their organization was affiliated with the Knights of Labor was that they should be allowed perfect trade autonomy, and were not to be subject to the Knights of Labor law tn so far as being required to strike with any other trade organization attached to the order, and that, in fact, the Window Glass Work- ers’Association is a national trade union,and is constituted in direct violation of the Knights of Labor law. Street Railway Employes Interested. Some of the members of the Protective Street Railway Union cf this city are anx jously awaiting the outcome of a contest which is now taking place in Philadelphia between the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes and the Union Traction Company. A few days ago the general manager of the system, which comprises all the mest important lines in that city, summarily discharged twenty- two conductors and motormen for the reason, as alleged, that they were taking too much interest in the affairs of the a: sociation. The directers of the company approved the action of the general man- ager, and passed a resolution laying down the general principle that the road will be run by the owners, and not by the em- ployes. Upon being: appealed to by the men for reinstatement, the general man- ager informed them that they would have no chance to be again employed by the company, unless they resigned from the association. Many of the members of the Street Rall- way Union of this city fear that the action taken by the Union Traction Company of Philadelphia, which is similar to that adopted in some other cities by railway managers, {s an indication that a general war 1s impending between the ow of rapid transit systems and those of their employes who belong to societies of organ- ized labor. It is said that It is no longer possible for a man to secure employment on any of the railway lines of this or any of the other large cities unless he sign agreement that he will not join the way union. The members of the union here are fully awere of this, and assert that they care nothing about the matte as they can, they say, capture the party soon after employment as they have an oy portunity to present the advantages of membership of the union to him. May Get’ Their Money. The paper hangers recentl: Mr. W. H. Long, who made an assignment about ten days ago, and who, when they called on the assignee for their wages, were informed that they would have to tak» their chances with the rest of the creditors, have, after a ihorough examina- tion of the laws of insolvency, discovered, It is said, that under an act passed by Con- gress in’ 1892 they can go into the court having jurisdiction of the case, and upon making @ statement of the facts be en- titled to an a ment of counsel at the expense of the District. It is said to be the intention of the men if this view of the case is found to be correct to at once ask be given a first lien on the as- concern, s said by an attache of the courts, who is well informed on such matters, that it Is the invariable practice of the courts when distributing s of a bankrupt concern to make wages a preferred claim. The Bottlers’ Assembly. The Bottlers’ Assembly held their regular weekly meeting It was stated that there was a good attendance, and sev- eral new members were initiated. The af- fairs of the assembly are said -to be in a prosperous condition, and from the present outlook it would seem that in a short time every member of the craft in the District will be a member of the society. the Cigar Makers’ Union. The cigar makers held an enthusiastiq meeting Saturday night at their hall, No. 7 7th street northwest, and much busi- ness of interest w transacted. Among the features of the evening was the recep- tion of a committee from Laundry Work- ers’ Assembly. The committee was com- posed of two males and two females, and in the course of remarks on the subject it was stated that at this time there are but five laundries In the city in which union labor is employed, and they asked that all cieties of 0 sist them laundrie: and The makers responded by resolution indorsing the unton laundries and imposing a tine of $ on any member who shall patronize other laundries. A communication from the Hot Water and Steam Fitters’ Association, which was read, informed the cigar makers that the former had indorsed the blue label of the latter, which means that the members Would use none but union-made cigars for the future. In reply to a request received by mail from the collar and cuff makers of Troy, N. Y., the union voted:to buy no collars or cuffs hereafter except those having on them the officiai label of! the assembly of that city A second agitating committee was pointed to visit certain places where it i leged non-union cigars are being sold, endeavor to induce the proprietors to sell the cigars bearing the blue label also.

The members of the United Brother1ood of Carpenters and Joiners in this city, who are affiliated with the National Brotherhood of the order, whose headquarters are in Phil- adelphia, were considerably surprised to- day to learn that Saturday last Judge Beach of the supreme court of New York city ap- pointed a receiver for the order. This ac- tion was taken as the result of a suit by Mrs. Ellen Lyons, who on August 20 re- covered a judgment against the brotherhood for $244, and which has not been paid. The president of the brotherhood, who testified at the receivership proceedings, said that the order is perfectly solvent, and has ampie funds for the payment of the judgment, but that they are in the hands of and control of Treasurer McGuire and the executive board in Philadelphia. ——___. MR. PADGETT STILL SICK. Columbia Typographical Union Has Another Mecting to Discuss Finances, Columbia Typographical Union held a meeting yesterday afternoon to consider again the financial condition of the organiza- tion in consequence of the sickness and flight of the secretary, Mr. Padgett. It was ex- pected the latter would be present, but Pres- ident Tracy announced that he was still unable to get out doors. There was a large attendance, and an effort was made to de- clare the office of secretary vacant and choose a new incumbent. This failed, and Mr. Ed. Toner was continued as secretary pro tem. for one month. A resolution was adopted increasing the regular monthly as- sessment of members from one to two per cent of earnings. This is expected to in- crease the revenues of the union to about $2,000 a month. By this action the notes of the union due October 26 and extended by the holders to meet the peculiar situation can be met. The committee of investigation made an informal report, stating that they had called to see Mr. Padgett and found him physically unable to give them any lucid account of the condition in which he had left the financial affairs of the union. ie committee was given until November 1 to check up the books and make a preliminary report. The increased assessments will he due in November, but a portion, to the amount of $1,600, is payable today, so that the union is able to meet all current obli- gations. se AMUSEMENTS, Bill Nye at Metzerott’s.—A great many of the humorous sayings that are current in this country at the present time had their origin in the brain cf that remarkable ge- nius of fun who is commonly called “Bill Nye.” Mr. Nye possesses a wonderful fac- ulty for seeing the droll side of life; he makes himself the mark of his inimitable fun. He is most admirably seconded and supported by the brilliant genius who ac- companies him in his platform work. Mr. Bert Poole is an inimitable through a rare faculty of producing most rapidly very humorous pictures. He illus- trates as rapidly as Mr. Nye talks, and is said to catch the very spirlt of Mr. Nye’s utterances, and embodies it in his pictures. These two delightful entertainers have agreed to fully expose “Farming” in all its ramifications. Reserved seats for their en- tertainment were placed on sale this morn- ing at Metzerott’s music store. “Black America.”—The opening perform- ance of “Black America’ will take place tonight at Convention Hall.

THE An Interesting Exhibition Given by the Acetylene Compan: An exhibition of acetylene gas, the new illuminant, Saturday evening at the estab- lishment of the Acetylene Gas Company, 819 17th street northwest, was witnessed by an interested gathering of well-known Washington business men and others. The gathering included a number of ladies. The claims made by the company are that ace- tylene gas is fifteen times as bright as city gas; that in compressed form it is possible to supply it to each house; that it can be used for country houses, lamp posts, lamps, bicycles, boats and many other purposes; that it gives out only one-sixth the heat per candle power of city gas, and that it can be supplied cheaper than gas or elec- tricity. The exhibition Saturday evening was intended to demonstrate these claims, and those present seemed satisfied that tha claims were well founded. First, the entire house was lighted by city gas. Then acetylene, in the same quantity and with a similar pressure, was tucn2d on, affording zn opportunity to the gather- ing to make a direct comparison of the two iluminants. It was shown that under the light of acetylene gas distinctions between the most delicate shades of colors could be readily made from a distance, and also that the light is all that is needed in photog- raphy. Models of street lamp posts and torches for acetylene gas, the small and apparently frail tanks connected with the samé being capable of containing gas sufficient to burn continuously for several days, were exhib- ited. It is announced that the acetylene gas will be on sale in this city within two mnonths. Two companies are now in pro- cess of organization, one to manufacture carbide at some suitable place in the coal regions, and the other to establish in this city a plant to generate the gas, compress it into cylirders and manage the sale of the product. The local company is_com- posed of J. J. Hemphill, Lieut. B. H. Buck- irgham, Commander Chadwick, Charles Payson, A. M. Lothrop, Rev. Dr. Childs and cther: —_—._—_ Prof. Gregory Lectures.
