Reviews Decree.
In speaking of the effect of the decree
signed by Justice Bradley. Mr.. Parsons
said:
THE decree as entered by the court
in view of the appeal taken will have no
effect whatever upon the local assemblies
affiliated with me in this controversy, as
the order of the court only applies TO the
individuals named in the decree, and
there is 10 doubt that the members of the
order affiliated with me, which is shown by
the testimony to consist of nearly 10000
OF the order will continue TO transact
their business as heretofore; at least
until final ruling has been made by the
Court Of Appeals
Glassworkers in Line.
Among those associated with him in this
controversy, Mr.. Parsons says, are the
glass workers at Pittsburg Pa. known as
L. A. &c., who comprise in their member
ship about 5000 members who. under the
leadership of Mr.. John L. Denny as presi-
dent CT l.. A. see, have given his support
ers very substantial support, and who will
no doubt continue TO transact their busi
ness as heretofore
District Assembly 3, of Pittsburg.
Pa, numbering about 1900 men, who
have" he says. stood loyalty by my
side under the presidency of Mr.. John
Fernau, will also continue TO transact
their business before.
District Assembly 40. OF New York
city. with membership of 5000" he says,
will not be affected in any way by the
action of the court. Mr.. Thomas Rock,
the district master workman, and p. J.
DAILY, the district secretary, have ex-
pressed themselves very forcibly upon
this matter" Mr.. Parsons says, land
feel fully confident that the district will
continue as heretofore.
New York Tot Affected.

n. Y, as also District Assembly 46. of
Buffalo. n. Y. ami District Assembly 147,
OF Albany, n. Y. all of whom have in
their entirety been affiliated with the
Parsons faction 1t is said, will con-
tipue their work of the Knights OF Labor
in that State, not being affected by the
ruling made by the court here respecting
the recognition Of the order as iDcor |
porated, as none Of these districts had
ever been consulted with respect to the
and many of the districts
will no doubt take steps in the court to
prevent the absorption of their rights |
by the incorporated order as to their |
share of the property in Washington.
