ID. A. a0's Quarrel.

New YoRR, Nov. %. Tho Evening Worlds
special from indianapolis says:
Among the delegates to tho general as
sembly of the Knights of Labor the drift OF
conversation is upon the action OF the gen.
eral assembly in expclliny Thomas Barry,
and 1t is the general opinion that, as he has
now commenced his open attack upon the
present administration immediate steps viii
be taken to form q new order, with Barry az
its leader.
s'He is preparing for a fight with or with
out following, and his bitterness towards
Powderly aid his friends indicate that there
will be no peace among organized working
men until Barry, who is characterised as the
sArch Squcaler,n is ont OF the way. He
promises To make soma sensational disclos-
ures, but the delegates seam to be pretty win
disgustad with his method of attack.
1.-THE trouble in district assembly No. 40
wiz probably be sprung upon tho general
assembly at once. The matter win come up
in the way of protest, filsd by the excluded
delegates, against the action of ths assembly
in admitting the delegates Of the Quinn fac
ton
when this case has been disposed Of the
COMMITTEES ON law will be prepared to submit
its report on several of the recommendations
given them to consider
"Ths most important Of these will be that
which proposes to give TO the general master
workman of the order the power to select the
members of the general executive board, who
ore TO be associated with him, subject TO the
approval OF the general assembly. A hot
discussion on this issue is anticipated, and tho
result win be safe test OF the genuine
strength of Mr. Pow lerly's followers.
ut Is thought that the convention win
place this power in the hands of its executive
head, as 1t would be unwise and unfair to ask
the general master workman to undergo the
painful and injurious experience of the past
two years, il the delegates should associate
with him an unfrendiy mau.
'sThis counties viii also recommend that
the salary Of thu general master workman
be reduced to So 500. aud that, for economical
purposes, the Offices o. general secretary and
general treasurer be combined
"For the offi e of gsnerdS secretary treas
urer there are three candidates in the field
Turner, Layton and John w. Hayes The
last mentioned seems to be the favorite among
the delegates
"The OH RS have their followers, but
Hayes is an experienced anil trustworthy
officer, while it is well known fnct that
Turner wa and is tao secret friend Of Barry
and Bailey, aud that he has been tha hidden
cause of muci OF the troubls between the
general officers
Layton will draw out of the contest at the
las moment and leavs the o.el fell to the
other two candidates, AMI w:ds the fight
will be- close one, 1t Il generally believed
that JOIN w. Hayes will be the victor.
"Ihe friends Of Mr.. Powd arly are now
satisfied that their leader viii accept another
term if the general assembly assists him in
the work of publication.
Sensational developments ar, expected
during the present week. Other heads taan
Barrys will fall into the basket.
"The Pythagoris hall delegates who are
here are quite sanguine and believe that tho
general assembly win reinstate all locals and
compel Quinn and others prominent In the
district on both sides to step aside and per-
NIT the work of reorganizing District As
sembly 40 to be proceeded with at once This
is the basis of the settlement already pro-
posed by one of the factions IL this propo-
sition is agreed to then two OF Quinn's fol-
lowers win be requested to retire and two Of
the other side, probably Purcell and Haugh-
ton, win be given seats in the convention"
