McGLYNN AND THE KNIGHTS
Little Jobs that Will Prevent Him Becoming an Opponent of Mr. Powderly.
PHILADELPHIA, June 28.-In reference to the dispatch that Rev. Dr. Edward McGlynn intends to become a Knight of Labor and is also regarded by many as a probable formidable opponent to General Master Workman Powderly, General Secretary Litchman of the Knights of Labor said this afternoon:
"I know nothing further than what I hear from the dispatches published in the morning papers. If Dr. McGlynn wishes to join the order I am sure he will be welcome.
"As for the statement that he an opponent to Mr. Powderly, it is simply a case of over-wrought imagination. Dr. McGlynn could not by any possible means be a delegate to the general assembly inside of two years. He would have to first join a local assembly and be a member for six months before he could be a delegate to a district assembly, and then it would require eighteen months more to qualify him as a member of the general assembly."
