A llitie routine, business was t psacted and thon theaddress of the master workman was deltvered General Master Workman Powderly, in his annual address, saig “The represontatives who aro assemoled £ this, the sixtesntn regular session of the general asseimbly of the Knights of Labor, have as great and as weighty aresponsibility resting upon them as was borne by their pre- decessors, it is truo that public attention has vot been directed toward this meeting a9 it was toward others in tho past, but that we have as momentous 1ssies to face and as difticult problemns to soive as any of them is watent to all who have wiven the prosent con ditior. of industry and society the attention 1t deserves.’” After devoting some time to tion, the speaker said: Recommends Mixed Asscmblies, “1t 15 tho oplnion of your wencral master workman that all local assembiies should be made up of mixed membership +ch local ussembly should admit men and women of all trades and oceupations, and when a ques tion of vital importance to any one calling is to bo discussed, all othe mav become famliar withit, and when private watters relating to that particuiar occupation are 1o be discussed, those not directly iuterested may retive, ‘lhiero is no question which bears on any teade or calling which does not vear, either directly or mdircetly, ou all others, and many of the failures of the past can bo traced directly to the door that was closed in the faces of men who were excluded from participation in discussions in which their nterests were involved, Contituing, he said: “*As | review the past history of the inbor movement | am inclined to the belief that there has bren a great waste of vital force and means. As we ook around us we see o hundred and one new as- sociations having in view the grauting of benefits for accident or sickness, or inst ance in caso of uvath, While it'is truo that many of these are swindhing concerns, pure and symple, it is none the less true thut they drew not alone from the Kuights of Labor but from ail labor associations. It is a fact that there are too many labor organizations straggling for supromacy. The tendeucy of the [abor movement sectis to be to divide up, whiio that of the opnosing force—capital—is to consoligate an thereby to gain streagth to combat thn forces of indusiry when le-handed they are arvayed before th " A promiuent member of a labor organiz who for soma reason or other has tai fense for something that has been dor about organizing a new society of labor.

" Thore exists no reason why every branch of toil should not be en- rolied under the shield of this order. There is 1o reson why every interost cannot bo more carefully guarded in this order than separale and isolated cases, whkerve we too often find them moro bitterly opposed to each other than to the concontrated forces by which all of us are opposed. The one orying need of the hour is an oreanization in which every intercst may ve carcd for, in which ali may meet oncommon ground, 1n which n unity of thought may bo offe in which a thorough knowledire of what portant steps cach division of labor taking way be tmparted to ail oue man or no maw’s iuterest in the way of this reform. *“Bho members of the order are to be con- gratulatea on the cratifying result of tho agitation for ballot roform, which was inaug: urated by the general asscmbly a fow stort ars aro.
