The Knights of Labor State assembly met at 2 PM with State Master Workman Crowley of Boston presiding. Reports were read and accepted, urging stronger organization and semi annual meetings, while cautions against political entanglement accompanied various resolutions. One proposed prosecuting Italian marble workers importations into Boston under alien labor law, another urged Congress to require ships flying the American flag to employ at least five eighths American seamen.
