[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] Alzina Stevens [SEP] Alzina Stevens ("née" Parsons; May 27, 1849 – June 3, 1900) was an American labor leader, industrial reformer, journalist, and suffragist from Maine, active in Hull House.  She was one of the representative women in the order of the Knights of Labor, and her history was, in some of its phases, a cornerstone of woman's work in the U.S. labor movement in the last decades of the 19th century.  Stevens was an ardent advocate of equal suffrage.  For several years, she served on the editorial staff of the "Toledo Bee"; she was also half owner and editor of the "Vanguard", an organ of the People's Party.
