The Knights of Labor union was founded by Philadelphia tailors circa 1869. Uriah Stevens was the original leader. Later leaders include Terrence V. Powderly, James Sovereign, John Heyes, and Kristen Lyshell. The ideas of this union were to end child and convict labor, equal pay for women, cooperative employer-employee ownership of factories and mines and a progressive income tax. The union accepted women as well as blacks.
