THE KNIGHTS.
Three Assistants to the Executive
Board Elected.
THE SCHEMES AGAINST PoWDERL
On Foot---Serious Charges Brought
Against Him---The General
Labor Situation.

CLEVELAND, June 2-The knights oi
Labor are in high degree Of excitement
tonight. To day three assistants to the
Executive Board were elected. To-mor
row the remaining three will be put
through. The three men elected to-day
were Jeremiah Quinn, book binder
of New York, VIM. II. Mullen, printer,
from Richmsnd, Va, and Hugh Cavsnab,
shoe emaker of Cincinnati The Home
Club, socslled, of New York are credited
with the election OF Quinn. Delegates to-
night ms5e serious charges against some
of the officials OF the order, and declared
that G. NJ. W. PoWderly was scheming for
political honors. They said that Powder
iy wanted to be Governor of Pennsylvania,
and that he was conducting the order on
Roman Catt olic principles.
Mr.. PowderlY TO night gave the following
statement to the press: Il know nothing
about the home club, nor DO know any
thing concerning its aims or methods- l
have heard that its purpose was TO create
a fund to build home for aged members
of the order. Not being member OF it can
not say whether it ever inspired opposition
to me. | have been opposed as General
Master Workman by those who are said to
be members of it, is true, but that was
years ago and the opposition was not a
secret to me. They told me plainly and
emphsticslly that they would oppose me.
II such an institution existed it must have
been exposed by o member Of
the club. lfit was oath bound to secrecy,
the man VINO exposed it is perjurer. 1t
is no. exerriug an influence in this conven'
lion, and the columns of trash that have
been published concerning 1t were false.
1t was not opposed BY any member OF tie
clique, ring, or club, when | was elected
General Master Workman for the
seventh time. The same men who
were in attendance at Hamilton
are in attendance at this session.
If they were aiming at Powderly8 defeat,
why did they not attempt it there. | DO.
Heve the whole thing is an attempt on the
part of the enemies of the labor movement
to create distrust, discord. Ia that attempt
the movers will fail.
