Born in <a href="/wiki/Carbondale,_Pennsylvania" title="Carbondale, Pennsylvania">Carbondale, Pennsylvania</a>, he was later elected mayor of <a href="/wiki/Scranton,_Pennsylvania" title="Scranton, Pennsylvania">Scranton, Pennsylvania</a>, for three 2-year terms, starting in 1878. A Republican, he served as the United States Commissioner General of Immigration in 1897. The Knights of Labor was one of the largest American labor organizations of the 19th century, but Powderly was a poor administrator and could barely keep it under control. His small central office could not supervise or coordinate the many strikes and other activities sponsored by union locals. Powderly believed that the Knights were an educational tool to uplift the workingman, and he often cautioned against the use of strikes to achieve workers' goals. </p><p>His influence reportedly led to the passing of the <a href="/wiki/Alien_contract_labor_law" class="mw-redirect" title="Alien contract labor law">alien contract labor law</a> in 1885 and establishment of labor bureaus and arbitration boards in many states. The Knights failed to maintain its large membership after being blamed for the violence of the <a href="/wiki/Haymarket_Riot" class="mw-redirect" title="Haymarket Riot">Haymarket Riot</a> of 1886.

Soon the demands placed on the union by its members for immediate improvements, and the pressures of hostile business and government institutions, forced the Knights to function like a traditional labor union. However, the Knights were too disorganized to deal with the centralized industries that they were striking against. Powderly forbade them to use their most effective tool: the strike. Powderly intervened in two labor actions: the first against the Texas and Pacific Railroad in 1886 and the second against the Chicago Meatpackinghouse industry. 25,000 workers in the Union Stockyards struck for an 8-hour day in 1886 and to rescind a wage reduction. In both cases, Powderly ended strikes that historians believe that labor could have won. This is when the Knights of Labor began to lose its influence. Powderly also feared losing the support of the Catholic Church, which many immigrant workers belonged to; the church authorities were essentially conservative and feared that the K of L was plotting a "socialist revolution". </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Knights_of_labor_(cropped).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Knights_of_labor_%28cropped%29.jpg/170px-Knights_of_labor_%28cropped%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Knights_of_labor_%28cropped%29.jpg/255px-Knights_of_labor_%28cropped%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/55/Knights_of_labor_%28cropped%29.jpg/340px-Knights_of_labor_%28cropped%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="511" data-file-height="662" /></a><figcaption>Print of the Knights of Labor leaders with Powderly featured prominently</figcaption></figure> <p>Powderly's insistence on ending both these strikes meant that the companies did not fear the K of L would use strikes as direct action to gain wage and labor benefits.

A second autobiography by Powderly, <i>The Path I Trod</i>, was published posthumously in 1940. Powderly's papers are available for use at more than a dozen research libraries across the United States. He was survived by his second wife, Emma (Fickensher), who was his late wife's cousin and a former work associate, who he had married in 1919.<sup id="cite_ref-GMW_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GMW-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Legacy">Legacy</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Terence_V._Powderly&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Legacy"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Powderly was inducted into the <a href="/wiki/U.S._Department_of_Labor" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Department of Labor">U.S. Department of Labor</a> Hall of Honor in 1999. The citation reads as follows: </p> <blockquote><p>As leader of the Knights of Labor, the nation's first successful trade union organization, Terence V. Powderly thrust the workers' needs to the fore for the first time in U.S. history. In the 1800s, far in advance for the period, he sought the inclusion of blacks, women and Hispanics for full-fledged membership in his trade union. With labor struggling for a place at America's economic table, Powderly achieved national stature as the recognized spokesman for the workers' interest and for the first time made organized labor a political force to be reckoned with.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>Writing in Dubofsky and Van Tine's <i>Labor Leaders in America</i>, Richard Oestreicher described Powderly as "the first labor leader in American history to become a media superstar". Oestreicher continues: </p> <blockquote><p>No other worker in these years, not even his rival Samuel Gompers, captured as much attention from reporters, from politicians, or from industrialists. To his contemporaries Powderly <i>was</i> the Knights of Labor.<sup id="cite_ref-leaders_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-leaders-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 30">: 30 </span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>d<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>e<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Terence_Powderly_House.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/Terence_Powderly_House.jpg/220px-Terence_Powderly_House.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="187" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/Terence_Powderly_House.jpg/330px-Terence_Powderly_House.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/23/Terence_Powderly_House.jpg/440px-Terence_Powderly_House.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2130" data-file-height="1806" /></a><figcaption>Powderly's Scranton home in 2007</figcaption></figure> <p>Oestreicher characterizes Powderly's legacy as leader of the Knights as generally one of failure to preserve the organization and its mission through the labor upheavals of the late 19th Century.
