Text of Statement.
THE attempt made by the expelled
members of the order to continue in
possession of its affairs have been met
by your general officers, and everything
that was honest and honorable has been
done to protect your interests.
| "On January Il OF last year an attempt
was made to have the Knights of Labor
Incorporated by the fling OF articles of
| incorporation at Washington, d. c., in
the name of the order. And. upon the
strength of the Incorporation, the courts
were applied TO for an injunction to pre-
vent your general officers from performing
their duty. The court, believing the in
corporation to be genuine, issued the in
junction on April s, since which time
none OF your general officers has been
able to perform any of the work of their
Offices.
After this injunction was secured those
expelled members tried, in every way
known to the law, to prevent the case
from being brought before the court for

ARE JOLLY ENTERTAINERS
Chicago Glee Club Made a Hit With
Wichita Audience.

The Chicago Glee Club gave a very in
teresting entertainment last evening at
the Toler. The house was well filed with
an appreciative audience. who did not
lose interest or become restless at any
time during the evening. Each number
was followed by hearty applause which
necessitated repeated encores. Each
member Of the Glee Club has a good voice
and as a club their voices blend in per-
feet harmony. G. T. Henry as baritone.
has a very musical voice while his ex-
pressive manner In singing conveys the
thought he wishes to be understood by
his audience.
J. w. Turner first tenor, has a clear
voice. His solo. "Thou-rt Like Unto a
lovely Flower, receiving hearty ap-
plause and encore.
Tom. Tom the Piper's Son" was rend-
cred in a very pleasing style and was
made especially interesting by suiting
the action to the music. The audience
encOred and in an amusing style the story
Of The Old Lady in the Shoe" was
given. Even the cries and walls of her
hungry children could be heard as they
were spanked and sent to bed. Crossing
of the Bar" met with approval and was
followed by lullaby song, The Goblin s
II Get You if You Don't Watch Out, q"
was given with actions to suit the words
and it was followed by There Were
Three Crows which was received with
q great deal of laughter. In the last num-
Der sailor costumes were used, which
added much to the effect, Miss Ardella
Davis assisting in Denny Jones' in COS
tune. her clear voice harmonizing beau
tifUlly with the others.
Mr.. Dixon rendered several readings
which took exceedingly well, incidently
selling out the entire audience with his
supposed telegram from home which con-
tanned the sad news that his sister Jane
had dyed her gray skirt black.

respect. The Chicago Glee Club is com

]. Dermody Grants Demands
of Striking Plumbers
STRIKE MAY END TODAY
Men May Confer With En-
pIoyers This Evening

The most important development in
the plumbers strike situation yeste; day,
was TIE granting of the demands OF the
union by J. Dermody.
He, with his two journeymen plumbers
was working at tie house Of Charles
Frost, 1880 North Market street, yester-
day morning when William Riley, the
president OF the union, and W. G. Red
dersen, the vice-president approached the
two working jOurneymen, who had not
yet walked out, and one Of whom was
not a member Of the organization, and
asked them to strike
Il guess there is no necessity Of the
men quitting work" said Mr.. Dermody.
IF I grant the demands Of the union
they can work, can't they?"
Yes" replied the representatives Of the
union
Il viii grant the demand for an eight
hour day and for a wage Of $3.50"
with these words the matter was ad-
susted
The firm OF Bays Bros. was employing
no journeymen when the strike began,
but agreed to concede the demands Of the
union in case it should employ any
5ourreymen. The secretary of the union,
Eugene Freeman, is now working for
that firm. One OF the members IF the
firm used TO be secretary Of the union.
The firms Of Green & HolIOwell, Bos-
worth. Hahn & Co, and r. r. Moore
ere still firm in their refusal to grant the
demands Of the men. There is, however,
q strong possibility that the difficulty
between these firms and their striking
employees viii he adjusted today. This is
payday and as the men have two days
wages coming to them, It is probable that
some Of them viii ask for their money
this evening, though the matter was not
discussed at the meeting Of the union
last night.
Mr.. HoIlowelI. Of the firm of Green &
Hollowell, said yesterday that he thought
If the men came for their money the set
Element Of the trouble might be brought
nearer.
The union men met last night at the
home Of Secretary Eugene Freeman. 243
North Market street, and the situation
was discussed though nothing definite
was decided. After the meeting Secretary
Freeman said he thought most Of the men
would he willing to confer with the mas
ter plumbers.
Mr.. Hollowen said to an Eagle reporter
several days ago that the employers
would be willing TO take a proposition
from the strikers under advisement.
The contracting firms have not yet
made any arrangements to put non-union
men to work. Mr.. HollOWell has received
a letter from Mr.. A. 7. Elder, secretary
of the Kansas Master Plumbers AssOcia-
ton however, stating that he would be
willing to help him if necessary. Most of
the firms are handling their rush" york
all right. Mr.. Bosworth, Of the firm of
Bosworth & Hahn, said yesterday after
noon:
THE great amount Of work we have
been doing is nearly finished. 1t is not
improbable that if the men had not gone
on strike some would have been laid
off because of the lack Of work The big
gest job We have which is pushing as is
the work in the Hamilton hotel When
we get that done we can help the other
contractors"

Mr. Walden made the positive accusa-
ton that the Missouri and Kansas tele-
phone company is trying to bulldoze the
city. but that the city and people win
only laugh at them and he hints that
the city and people might adopt some
measures that may make the telephone
company feel sorry. He says that the
telephone company can do all the re-
pairing it wants TO, but that it is the
cOmpany's purpose TO bulldoze the city
into issuing it a permit to extend its
lines, thus giving it practically a fran
chise which another company has got

accept
