[PAR] [TLE] Knights of Labor [SEP] Knights of Labor (K of L), officially Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor, was the largest and one of the most important American labor organizations of the 1880s.  Its most important leader was Terence V. Powderly.  The Knights promoted the social and cultural uplift of the workingman, rejected socialism and anarchism, demanded the eight-hour day, and promoted the producers ethic of republicanism.  In some cases it acted as a labor union, negotiating with employers, but it was never well organized, and after a rapid expansion in the mid-1880s, it suddenly lost its new members and became a small operation again. [PAR] [TLE] George A. Schilling [SEP] George A. Schilling (1850 - 1936) was a prominent American union leader and Georgist in the late nineteenth century.  He was also active in Anarchist circles.  From 1865 to the 1890s, Schilling worked in Chicago for the Arbeiter Zeitung, a German-language newspaper with socialist (and later, anarchist) leanings.  He made his mark in the Chicago labor movement as a member of the cooper's union and a leader of the Knights of Labor.  In 1886, he was a prominent supporter of the Labor Party in Illinois.  In 1886, the Labor Party endorsed John Altgeld for a judgeship, which Altgeld won.
