NO ILL WILL A
Ex-0flicial Knight Of Labor Dis
cusses the Salary Suit.
Claims that Messrs. POwderly and Dew
lin Had No Intention of Embar-
RAISING the Order.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. ia.
Wright, ex-nember of the general executive
board OF the knights of Labor, made a
statement tonight concerning the suits
brought against the order by the ex-general
officers. He said the pretense that he and
Messrs. Powderly and Devlin were pressing
for the money due them for the purpose
of injuring the order should hardly be made
by Mr.. Hayes.
IF" said he, demanding our money
months after it is due be evidence that we
are disloyal to the order, was Mr.. Hayes's
course in drawing every cent due him up
TO the moment evidence of care for the or
der's welfare? Ever since we were general
officers, Powderly, Mr.. Devlin and myself
have never been able to have our salaries
paid up, while Mr.. Hayes has frequently
declared that, no matter who went without,
he would draw his salary to date. and he
was in this, at any rate, truthful"
Asked II 1t was true that Mr. Powderly
had done anything to injure the order
since he was out of office, Mr.. Wright
said that statement was as untrue as 1t
was characteristic of the men who made II.
He did not doubt that members were writ
ing to Powderly, as they were writing TO
him, answering questions which, II an
swered truthfuliy, would give the writers
of the letters a very poor opinion or at
least one who holds a high position In the
ly answered these letters, and answered
them truthfuliy, but telling the truth In a
case of this kind Is at once the right thing
and the best thing for the order.

One could ~sympathize with denizens of such
a vicinity if they turned out in ku-klux
fashion and cleared the streets. 1t would
be very naughty from a legal point of
view. but one would ~sympatnize all the

would be no more unciviliZed in itself than
the practice thus suppressed.
But is it possible that our civilization
cannot devise any remedy? That Meal

without street oellowings as bad as those

At all events ii would relieve the rest of
