upon the subject, the idea of using
white tale ILL the manufacture of pipes
is OF comparatively recent date, COM
pared With the ugeof the habit Of smok-

the fact that IN the oriental countries
which produce white tale, or meer-

desolation and distress all along the river
for 100 miles or more. The latter's Of

hundreds of people for whom there was
no prospect of relief. Every piece of

LABOR CIRCLES iGITATED
The Charges Against Hayes AZ
ford Food for Gossip.
AN EXPLANATION GIVEN
1t Is Said That the Charges Were
Instigated by a Member Of the
General Executive Board Who
Is Il Personal Enemy of the Sec
retary-Treasurer.

There were no new official develop
Inents in the Hayes suspension matter
yesterday. All the parties interested were
seen. but they refused to talk on the sub
amountto nothing.
The statement however, that charges had
been preferred against the General Secre-
tary-Treasurer, and that he had been sus-
pended was the general topic OF conyersa-
ton In labor circles.
The denials made by leading officials
are not surprising, for at the last meeting
of the general assembly of the order an
order enjoining the strictest secrecy on
all matters pertaining to business of the
knights OF Labor was adopted
There are members OF the or der. however,
who do not consider that personal grieY-
ances should be classed as business"
especially when the result is calculated to
seriously effect the progress and welfare or
the Knights of Labor.
One OF the most prominent among these
said to a Times reporter:
While the charges against Secretary hayes
were preferred by District Assembly No.
66, K. Of L., they were instigated by
member of the general executive board.

of attempting to gain cont roi of the local
assembly for his own personal benefit, to

This charge. the speaker said, is abso-

the execution OF the last order OF the Gen
eral Assembly Secretary Hayes was eX-
trernely lenient and construed the order so
as to allow District Assembly Nc. 66 more
time to consider and take final action n
regard to the conditions imposed. AND so
far as Secretary Hayes doing anything
to the detriment OF the order, either To-
cally or else where il is mere nonsense, Tor,
he said, it is weil-known fact that he
has done as much, If not III ore, for the ad-
vancement of the order than any one man

1t was also learned last night that the
matter of Secretary Hayes has been hang
ing fire for some tine. 1t was said that
one member of the general executive board
was sin favor of suspension, and that another
had agreed If the charges made could be
substantiated, he. too, would favor the
decapitation of Mr.. Hayes. The other three
members OF the. boaed, who. it is said, were
thoroughly convcrsant with the circum-
stances which led to the making or the
charges, make light OF the whole affair
and do not even consider it serious enough
to discuss.
