Lonis, Mo., March 206 —General} Master Workman Powderly Las issued a secret circalar to the “Noble Order the Knights of Laborof America,” which | Lias just been made public. Mr, Powder- ly instructs the Secretary of each Assem- bly to call a full meeting and read before them the sentiments which follow. The address opens with an order to the As- sembly to cease initiating new members until the relations of capital and labor shall become less strained than af the present time, and continnes : “To attempt to win concessions or] gains with our present raw, andisciplined membership would be like hurling an un- organized wob againet a well drilled regular army. IY is not fair to the older Assemblies to bring in new members, pick up their quarrels as soon as organ. ized, apd have them expect pecuniary aid from those who helped build the or- der up for a noble purpose.” Continuing, he deprecates strikes and advises arbitration. He also warns the order against politicians who, he says, arescheming to nse it for selfish ends and adds, that to nse the name or the order in a political contest is criminal and must not occur again. Referring to the eight-hour movement the circular says: “Assemblies of the the Knights of Labor must not strike for the eight-hour system on May 1 under the impression that they are obeying or ders from headquarters, for such an or- der waa not and will not be given.” “I warn our members against hasty, ill-considered action, The church will not interfere with ns #o long 8s we main. tain the law, If the law is wrong it is onr duty to change it.
