Knights of Labor voting rule changes in Washington
In the General Assembly session in Washington the proposal to cut per capita tax from two to one cent was defeated. A constitutional change removes voting rights from post general muster workmen while keeping them as advisory members. Powderly, now retired, loses his vote, with Sovereign set to lose his vote as well next year. A past master workman may be considered accredited if his jurisdiction warrants it. Belgian bank cashier absconds with 100000 francs, missing funds cause alarm and an arrest warrant.
