The Canadian Knights of Labor feel misunderstood, says their Canadian Labor Reformer in September 1887. They complain about misapprehension and lethargy in their own ranks. Their device is: "If all our fellow countrymen were but honest and understood the fundamental principles of Labor Reform, all might be prosperous and happy." And there is a lamentation about their fellow workers as well: "The woodworkers in and about Oshawa are sorely in need of an organization, but nothing short of an earthquake will wake them up."
