WASHINGTON, D. c., April 26-Gen-
eral Secretary Treasurer Hayes of the
Knights of Labor to-day reported as q re-
suit of his recent visit 10 Pittsburg a set
tlement of the fight which has lasted
about three years between the General
Assembly and District Asse m bly, No. 3,
Independent Order. This will increase
the mem bership of the Knights by about
10000, and. it is said, wipe out the exist
ence of the Independent Order, which has
been a source of considerable annoyance.
Hayes declares that within the past
year the Knights have doubled their mem
oership. Last week District 80 of Boston,
mum bering 10000 members, was rein
stated. The Southern miners have also
come back into the order, and new dis
tricts have been organized in Iowa, Michi-
gan and Indiana Last year only fifty
nine delegates we're seated in the General
Assem- bly,. Now he says more than
hundred delegates are entitled to seats.
meaning that the order has gained more
than $4,000 mem bers.
