i A e THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAN, NOVEMBER 28, 1893~ AMONG THE WACE EARNERS Oentral Labor Union Oontemplates the Adoption of a New Oonstitntion. POSSIBLE DISAGREEMENT OVER REVISION Bome Members Favor Golng Into Pollties— Others Prefer n Pagsive stand —Knights or News—Talks with Trade Unlonists—Notes, The committee elected by the Central Labor union to revise the constitution has held several meetings, but on account of tha thorough consideration it is giving to several proposed changes it was compelled to only report progress at the last meeting of the organization and asked for further time, which was unacimously grantea. L It is expected a progressive constitution will be roported for ratification by this com- mittee, a8 some of the oldest and most pecienced members of organized labor were elected to do this work. One of the questions which is puzzling this committee is to decide just how tar it should enter into politics. Some of the members are very outspoken in fayor of the cen body going into politics, whiie others main- tain that they can exercise more power and do more good for their members by main- taining what (lompers would call “‘a master- fal inactivity.” Others favor picking out friends of labor w voto and work for their success. This being a y ticklish subject to handle, if the committec’s report should not bean unanimous one, may precipitate a discussion in the regular meeting that would cause many *‘talks against time.” Both extremes of political opmion are well represented when a full meeting is held. ‘T'he general spirit in tho central body is a demand for a progressive constitution, Another important subject being considered is the making up of the central organization, and whether or not it shall become attached to the American Federation of Labor. . Before tlhe last constitution was adopted the central body admitied members of any tabor organization represented upon their being vouched for by some one present. The visitors, of course, had no voi proceedings, but this v factory to a majority, and the visitors were prohibited cntire] In the new constitution now it is proposed to allow visitors a seat without a voice in the proceedings, provided a delegate mem ber of the same organization is present and vouches for the visiting member. It is claimed by many that such an arrangement would prove beneficial to all the organ- izations. KNIGHTS OF LABOR, Rosults of the General Assembly Reviewod by & Prominent Local Knight. A le g member of district assembly 126 of the Knights of Labor, in speaking of the action of the general assembly, said “The Knights of Labor are to be congratu- lated upon having sceuved the services of Master Workman Powderly for another term. Mr. Powderly uainted ‘ith ey detail of the management of the Knights of Labor, which is really a great corporntion run_on busi neiples for the interest of the luboring people in gen- eral and 1ts own members in particular. As master workman Mr. Powderly brings to that office great executive ability, firmness, courage, 1 tand large experience. He understands the members thoroughly in every part of the country and is also in touch with allotherorganized bodies of labor. Mr, Powderly possesses the confidence of the farmers’ organizations in a great degreo tand he has done much to bring the workingmen of the cities and the farmers into close relationship and a united brothierhood. Since the unmon of the farmers alhance and the Kuights of Labor the latter organization has won many noted victories, among which was the Whiteley Reaper works at Springfield, O.,which years ago hung from its wall an immense legend stating that the Knights of Labor would never be recognized, buv when the organized farmers took up the fight Mr. Whiteley found his occupation gome, and was soon rushing arcund to make peace with the Knights. “Mr. Powderly has always been an ardent advocate of harmony and union and itis safe to predict thut before very long there will be but one great head to ail the organ- fzed labor of America, The Krights of Labor ave, as a rule, a frugal body of men, and the property possessed by the order aud by different local district assemblies will attest that fact. By the way a recent decision of the courts declares that the property or money of a lapsed local becomes the property of the general ass A test case was made . ‘where a local possessing $1,000 lapsed and {ts members tried to divide the money be- twoen them; the ¢ ken into court and decided as above. Many local assem- blies have fat treasuvies and many own buildings and lands, Some trades assem- blies own their own factories and dozens of differeut articles manufactured in fac- owned by assemblies of this order. Phe Kunights of Labor, while studying economic questions, do not neglect to muko the best of existing conditions and other or- gauized and unorganized workmng people could well profit by following the example. The Knights of Labor do not believe in striles except as a lust resort aud their wise and conservative action has in the past saved lots of strife. Omaha Knights have perfect contidence in 1. V. Pow- derly and while certain differences may exist they will not be allowed to inter- fere with the harmonious conduct of affairs. James R. Sovereign, who wasa candidate for the ofMice of master workman this year, 1s stato master workman of lIowa. Helis state labor commissioner of lowa under Horace Boies and is a strong man in the labor movement, Should he be elected gen- eral master workman some time in the fu. ture it is safe to say the order would be secure in his hands, He is well posted on labor subjects and o smooth talker, John ‘W. Hayes, re-clected secretary-treasurer, is an efcient ofticer and has the confidence of the order in a great degree, Charles R. Martin of Toledo, O., was elected general worthy foreman, He is a very active man and hus doue much good work in the up- building of the order in Ohio. The mem- bers of the general executive board are: James A. Wright of Canada, John Devlin of New Yorlk, Congressman John Davis of KKan- sas and 1. B. McGuire of Pennsylvania, all of whom ave active men and stalwart workers for the triumph of tho principles of the order. The growth of the Knights of Labor has been general and steady all over _the cotatry the past year. n Canada the order is grow:ng rapid), Cooks and Walters. A few of the leading workers among the different cooks and waiters organizatious of Omaha beld an informal meeting Thursday evening to provido ways and means for building up their organizations. Tney claim that with proper organization they will be able to make their trade much more desir- able than it is now and easily do away with many of the abuses they are now subject to, Some of the members were in favor of form- ing a council of all the organizations engaged in their trade, whilo others maintained that with the Central Labor union composed of all labor organizations there was no nced of a sepurate council, This idea prevailed, and after thorough consideration it was decided to issue a joint elireular 1o all the trades unions and Knights of Labor assemblies in the city asking their assistance to help bulld up their trade or- ganizations. ‘The members who were present at this meeting say that if the committees named by all the different unions and assemblies in e city to get up dances will have an agree- ment with the parties who furnish the sup- pers that they must employ union waiters such an arrangement would help them won- derfully in securing members. This, they claim, is perfectly fair and lhe{ will ask their fellow workers to make sucl demand upon thepersons who furnish sup- rg for union dan: They will also ask mntunlon men patronize cating Liouses where union cooks and waiters are employed. ‘These artists maintain thav there is no set of workers in the t:hlv1 subject to the hardships they ave compelled to go through. “They say they have to be av their work very early in the morviug and very late at night and that such o thing as time for pleasure is i i el B waiters say that fn_order to make theit finances come out right they are compelled to practice the soverest economy. Many cases were mentioned where men and their wives were both working as waiters and then barely making a living. These ills, they claim, can all be abolished by thorough organization, & In the Ranks. The strike of tho coal miners In France is ended, “(Coolie" labor is crowding out white labor at San Diego, Cal.

Wasnixaros, Nov. 25,—The fourth volume of papers accompanying the Blount report was given out by the State department this afternoon, consisting of all the disclosures made by Mr. Blount in his aispatches and his report from Honolulu. 1Itis the testi- mony on which tie bases his report. Numer- ous aMdavits beaving on the evonts of the day the provisional government was pro- imed go to show taat Minister Stevens had recognizod the provisional government and troops had been landed bofore the queen’s forces, under the command of Mar- shal Wilson, nad surrendered to the provi- sional for The statementof Liliuokalani, adds Mr. Blount, is of especial interest and impor- tance. It is a relation of all the events of her reign. On December 17, 1802, she claims she received a letter, from a source that she does not care to divulge, warning her that the American representatives were at that time preparing for the annexation of the islands. She appeaied to the British com- missioner and he advised against her sug- gestion to lay thamatter beforeall the mem- bers of the diplomatic corps. She says: Statement from the Quecn. “Barly in January I mentioned to Captain Knowelen of the household guards and to Mr. Wilson, the marshal, my intention to promulgate a new constitution, and to pre- pare themselves to quell any outbreak from the opposition, They assured me that they would be ready and I gave strict injunctions of secrecy and showed Mr, Wilson a plan of the throne room on the day of the signing. “Mr, Parker and Mr, Cornwall had given me assurances of their support before their appointment as ministers, while Mr, Poter- son understood such was my intention, and, although I had not mentioned it to Mr, Col- Dburn, he had heard of it already from Mr. Peterson. “It appears thaton their learning of my intentions Mr. Colburn, on the morning of Jan 14, immediately acted the part of a traitor by going to Mr, Hartwell, a lawyer, and informing him of my intentions, aud, of course, received instructions from him to strongly advise me to abandon the idea. Tins, then, was the cause of the delay. When the ministers arrived I told them everything in the throne room was ready and the guests were awaiting our presence; that we must not keep them waiting, She Was Surprised, “I was surprised when the cabinet in- formed me that they did not think it advisa- ble for me to take such a step: that there was danger of an uprising, ete. 1 told them 1 would not have undertuken such a step it they had not encouragea me. They had led me out to the edge of the precipice, and now were leaving me‘to take the le: lone. Tt was humiliating. 1 said: ‘Why not give the people the constitution and I willbear the brunt of all the bilame afterward.’ *Mr. Poterson said: ‘We have not read the constitution.’ “1 told him he had it in his possession a wholemonth,: The three ministers left Mr. ParKer to try to dissuade me -from my pur- pose, and, 1n the meantime, they all (Petes son, Cornwall and Colburn) went to the gov- ernment building to iuform Thurston and his party of the stand I took. Of course they were instructed not to yield. “The ministers returned, and I asked them to read the constitution over. At the end I asked them what they saw injurious in it. Mr. Peterson said there were some points which he thought were not exactly suited, 1 told him that the legislature coulit make the amendments. He begged I should wait two weeks; in the meantime they would be ready to present it to me. With these assurances I yielded as we went to the throne room. Advised the People to Disperse. “I then informed the people assembled that under the advice ot my ministers I had yielded, as they promised that on som e fu- ture day I could give them a new constitu- tion. Ithen asked them to return to their homes and keev the peace. T heard a commotion below in the yard, 50 1 hurried to the front veranda and ‘from there I addressed the people, suying that their wishes for a new constitution could not be granted just then; to go home and Jkeep the peace and 1o pray for me, which thoy have done ever since,’ Referring 1o thie landing of the troops, she said: “Monday, January 16, at about b v. m., the United States troops were landed by the order of the United States minister, J. L. Stevens,in secrot understanding with the revolutionary party.” Thoe statementof the circumstances at- tending the yielding of authority to the pro- visional government aoes not differ from statements already made.. After detailing the subsequent appeals to the United States government, she says: *‘President Harri- son’s term expired and President Clevelana’s inauguration took place and I hailed it us a good omen, and I have not been disap- poted.” Brought Rellef and Safety, “Your arvival'in this country has brought relief to our people and your presence safety. There is no doubt thut the provisional gov- ernment would have carried out extreme measuves, toward myself and my people by its unjust action, as you have already seen. The president has beon indifferent to my petitions. I am certain it would have brought serious results to myself and tyranny to my subjects. In this, I recognize the high seuse of justice and nonor in the person who is ruier of the American nation,” Implement Dealers Organize, The traveling men of Omaha and Council Blufis, who are engaged in tne implement trade, held & preliminary meeting av the OmahaTraveling Men s Social club rooms in the Mercer hotel last night with a view of perfezting o permanent organization at some future time.
