He shows hovr the childreu, wüúse education was neglected as tbey grew into manhood, would naturally graritata into tUa knights ot lubor, Iliterata, ignorant, and devoid of intelligenee. 'These are the men," continueil Mr. Powderly, "that the knights of labor have to deal witli, ana if possible, molí into sonietuing better. Men who caunot read when charges of corruption are made cao be led hither and tbitucr by any one who may be an enemy of the otticial simply beca use he cannot ndd up a column of figures. The ignoranee of niany of the knight s what causes miiolí of the trouble in locáis, but lt does not end thera. It makcs the men the tooi 01 the unBcrapulona demagoguo and plaoei them under intluences that bring; ubout stuta of atfaira worse than anarchy." Mr. Powderly also protestad against the wbolesale nnd un)-ntricted immigrntion of foreign labor. He tbought it a nienace to American homos, lip suggested that a cood rule would be to allow no one to lnd who could not support a family lor a year.
