A BIG WAREHOUSE is TO BE BUILT

Tom Barry did good days work yester
day, notwithstanding the fact that he wa.
barred from making a speech in Knights o.
Labor Hall. He organized branch of his
new order, the Brotherhood of United
Labor 1t was a mixed branch, several dit.
ferent crafts going into it, and all are mem.
bers of d. A. 3.
Several organizers certificates were issued
yesterday. They are written on letter

Saturday night, which will be held at La
fayette Hall under the auspices of L. A.
1913. K. of L., attached to n. 7. A. 154.
This assembly is composed of ak workers,
and Mr.. Barry is the National Master
Workman
Mr.. Barry and his confidential secretary,
I. j. Wallace, were busy all day and even
ing visiting members of the order who had
invited them to call. They finally drifted
into the Home Hotel to rest, and a DIS
PATCH reporter saw them there. Barry
was asked the question: "What do you
think of the method adopted by Master
Workman Doyle to prevent the meeting
last EVENING"" and he said:

I am at loss to understand how men can be
SO unmanly as to act in such manner, or
what reasons they should have to fear the
truth. MIR. Doyle probably thought that if the
truth were revealed to the masses, or their
representatives in the district, it might jeopar-
disc his chances for reelection to the position
he now, by accident. holds. The great majority
of the workingmen that came to the hall last
night to attend the meeting were very muck
disappointed at not being able to hear me.
They expressed their contempt for the men
and organization that would practice such
methods in endeavoring to bury their acts in
silence, knowing that they will not bear'the
light of investigation. believe that Mr.. Doyle
acted in accordance with instructions received
from General Master Workman Powderly, as
it is in keeping with his wel-known methods.
Mr.. PowdeTly had better change the motto on
his letter heads, Hear both sides, then
Judge" to Hear my side, then judge"
With regard to the opinion of me given by
MeSsrs. Denny and Campbell. / am surprised at

antries at the Bingham House, Philadelphia,
and his loating there at the expense of the
working people. He was supposed to be gen.
eral lecturer in the interest of the order, but
was idling his time in PHILADELPHIA While he
was loafing at the Bingham House l settled
three strikes and mixed in three others. At
Auburn and Medina, N. Y, and New Britain,
Conn. Upon my return from Connecticut he
was still there, but he was only one of the
many that enjoyed life at the Bingham House
at poverty's expense. insisted that he come
before the board, transact his business and get
out. l said in the board room that if these
royal loafers who are living at the Bingham
House at the expense of poverty are not pre-
vented from so doing in the future 1 will ex-
pose them and the order if had to do it in the
public press. Powderly never raised his voice
against them being kept there, or did anything
to prevent this uncalled for expenditure of
labors money.
Ny acts have always been such as to invite
the opposition of scabs. l never met a scab
that could understand or appreciate manhood.
l have never revealed any of the secrets of the
Knights of Labor, and l do not intend to. but
have exposed the rottenness and corruption
of the general officers, and will continue to do
so until honesty is established in the labor
movement.
ANXIOUS TO MET POwDERLY.

fore the end of the week. will not evade him
by any means. Nothing would please me bet

When Master Workman Doyle was
poken to yesterday he said that he did not
hink that Barry's work in this vicinity
would amount to anything. There are some
lickers and they may listen to him, but
Mr. Doyle does not believe that any of them
