Knights of Labor Faces Trade Division Strain
Tag union of all the different divisions of labor in one organization by the Knights of Labor has not resulted in harmony, and the movement now is for organizing on the lines of the various trades, each of which will direct its own affairs. The attempt to band together elements whose interests are not identical and often conflicting has been one of the principal causes of the failures of the Knights of Labor in accomplishing the purposes of their organization.

Utah election eyed by outsiders for strong anti Mormon delegation
The Utah election next month draws attention beyond the territory as it may yield a robust anti Mormon delegation.
