Liquor Dealers Not Eligible to Me M

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Oct. 1.-THE ma
tional council Of the Knights Of Columbus in
convention here has ordered that hereafter
no liquor dealers are eligible to membership.
This action on the part OF the national coun-
Gil puts m end to cause OF some friction
in the order. As originally estab-
lished liquor dealers were excluded from
membership. A year or two ago,
however, great pressure WAS brought to
bear upon the national body, principally
from New York state, looking to the aboli-
ton OF this rule. The result was that the
rule was relaxed to the extent that liquor
dealers were admitted as associate members
under certain restrictions. The change was
not popular with some Of the councils. which
urged return to the old rule. This step
has finally been taken. All liquor dealers
whose applications were pending at mid
night Tuesday, Oct. 8, and all who have ap-
piled since then, are excluded from member
ship.
