X. OF L. DISCIPLINE.
Two Prominent Members Called to An
swer Serious Charges.


Special to the Jersey city Neacs.
n EwARK, Aug 8, ls91.-An official COM
munication was sent from the General
Executive Board of the Knights of La
Dor on July 21, affecting two of the men,
bers of the order in this city, Henry Daily
and Edward Hager The official order is
signed by the General Secretary. John
w. HAYES. and Daily is suspended as a
member of the X. Of L. for fve years
aud Hager is debarred from participating
in the affairs OF Distrlet Assembly o. lor
one year. Copies of this order have been
sent to District Assembly 81, to all local
assemblies under its jurisdiction and TO
Daily and Hager.
The causes which led to the issuance of
the orders by the General Executive
30 ard have occasioned great strife among
the local mem bers OF the order and make
a peculiar story. For ten years Daily
and Hager had been bosom friends. and
when the knights of Labor were at their
height both were prominent in the man
agement of its affairs. Both have been
district master workmen. Daily now
holds an official position; aud Hager owns
4 small trunk and bag factory in New
York. Hager recently charged In an
omen meeting that during his absence
from home Daily called there and an
moved his wife until she had TO ask his
protection. Daily had MAJORITY OF
friends in the District Assembly and was
acquitted.
ON account of this and other trouble
the affairs of District Assembly No. 81
were turned over to General Master
Workman Powderly, and it was decided
to leave the decision Of the hager-Daily
matter to a commission appointed by
Powderly. This commission reported to
the General Executive Board a short
time ago, and the result is as stated
above.
1t is said that this trouble may result in
the disruption of District Assembly No.
81, The charge on which Hager Is dis
ciplined is a violation of rules by reading
his charges In open meeting.
