THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR
Call n Halt on the Use of Their Name
In Politics.

IN Politics.
The following resolutions handed The
Post for publication are self explanatory:
Resolutions passed by Phoenix assembly
1925, knights of Labor, at regular meet
ing held August %, 1899.
Whereas, II having come to the attention
of some of the members OF Phoenix as
sembly 1925, knights Of Labor, that mem
bers of the assembly are using Its name Tor
the furtherance of their personal interests
with persons having political aspirations,
and,
Whereas, The knights of Labor are
strictly in politics for the bettermcrlt, not
of individuals but of all classes OF men
and women who earn their bread 'by the
sweat of their face" and there being
nothing in either their constitution or by
laws by which the minority can be bound
by the majority to vote for any particular
candidate for public Office therefore, in
order to put Phoenix assembly in proper
light before the public, be 1t
Resolved, That no member of this as
sembly has the right to pledge the votes
of it's members to any candidate present
or prospective: and that if any member,
or members, of this assembly should do So,
the party to whom he, or they, offer said
votes, are hereby notified that Phoenix
assembly, Knights of Labor has not, and
viii not, delegate such power to its menu
hers and be it further
Resolved, That we believe it to be bad
policy for any labor organization to pledge
the votes of its members to or indorse any
candidate for office. even though every
member of the organization were willing
to vote for him, unless he were a member
in good standing of some labor organiza-
ton, and not then unless he was known
to be fully competent to filD the position
to which he aspired
Resolved, That this preamble and reso-
lutons be given to the daily newspapers

twelve Additional Charges.

In Justice Malsch's court yesterday
twelve additional charges were filed
against Dr. c, a. A. Taylor for practicine
medicine here without conforming 10 the
requirements OF the law. The law is that
physician TO practice medicine here must
first register his diploma with the district
clerk. When a charge was originally made
against DR.. Wilson he registered his diplo-
ma, which showed upon its face that IL was
secured from some medical college in
Chicago. The college not being known to
the profession here, an inquiry developed
the fact that its charter had been revoked,
hence the additional charges, one for each
day since the first charge was filed.

A DAY OF FIRES.
A Residence on Milan street De-
stroyed--Other smaller Fires.

| There were four fires In the city yester-
day. one OF which did considerable dam
age by destroying a two-story residence
Rusk, owned by Mrs W. Preston and oc-
cupied by the family OF Mr.. Joseph D.
Glenny. None of the family were at home
at the time and the colored servant was
attending TO some duties in the yard, when
the fire, starting from a gasoline stove
in the kitchen. was first discovered. An
alarm was telephoned to the central sta
tion by DR.. j. w. Daniels, a neighbor, and
the department was early on the scene,
but the fro was an Intensely hot one and
| had made such progress that it was impos-
sible TO save the building and some splen-
did work was done in protecting adjacent
property. The fire occurred between and
10 o'clock and the building was completely
destroyed, together with practically all of
its contents. The loss to the house is total
and is placed ut $500, and the contents at
$1,000, both insured Several young men
wereroomng at the house and they lost all
of their belongings. valued in the aggre-
gate at from $500 to $500.
The property of DIR, Daniels. adjoining,
was damaged to the extent of several hun
property required some splendid work on
the part of the fire department.
Another residence adjoining the Glenny
home, occupied by Mrs. Gladstone. was
also slightly damaged.
fire occurred at Spohrs saloon, cor
ner of Congress and Caroline, at an early
hour yesterday morning, where hole
was burned in the floor from a box filled
with sawdHst into which, presumably, a
| lighted cigar stump had been thrown the
night before. The bar room and it's FIX
lures were considerably damaged from
smoke and water.
About 10. 10 a. m. a fire occurred at A .
c. Lottmans mattress factory. on Milan
street. near the fremont hotel. 1t was oc-
casioned by a lamp gniting can OF oil.
and from the innnmable character OF ma
terial in the place it threatened to be a Sc
rious connagration but this was averted by
the timely arrival and splendid work of the
chemical engines from the central nre
station. Mr.. LOTHIAN says the engines
we're on hand within about two minutes
after the alarm was turned in by telephone
and eXtinguished the fire within fifteen
minutes There was practically no damage
and the factory was at work again within
n half hour after the fire
! Shortly after noon an alarm called the
| department to the house of a. Delhomes.
at 1915 Hardy street. Fifth ward. where
/ a liue fire was in progress and was checked
with but slight damage.
