General Master Workman Powderly hints at a pragmatic turn for the Knights of Labor ahead of the Richmond convention on October 4. He softly endorses limited use of strikes amid lockouts, cites over 200 lockouts since employers argued union members could not strike, and expects the meeting to ease trades union tensions, curb anarchism, and streamline the sprawling federation under state control.

Yachting notes promise races as Irex gains on Genesta

Clark and Dr. Barnard as acquaintances still in Hartford.
