The Knights welcomed all workers but saloonkeepers, lawyers, and gamblers. They did accept women and African-Americans as members, but not Roman Catholics. The Knights also attracted unskilled workers, a group that had not been unionized prior to the Knights. Terence V. Powderly succeeded Stephens as Union leader and made the Knights more public and acceptable to Catholics. The membership continued to grow. While Powderly did not like strikes, the Knights did win a series of strikes against employers. The beginning of the end of the influence of the Knights of Labor was the 1886 Haymarket Square strike. Membership fell when the Knights were unfairly accused of causing the strike.
