The old trades union has thus do\ eloped into a public nuisance by making It impossible for the i King veneration to learn trades. J'hu Knlphts of Labor are now tryinic to compel every trade and laboi oigani/ation to go into the knights so as to abolish the old Hellish system of sepaiatc and distinct unions , which weio povvei less to help each other even had they been willing. Our object in thus making a consolidation Is to bi ing the issue of capital and labor Into the range of practical politics.
