JOHN ". HAYES
Not Legal Head Of the
K. of L.

Washington, d. c., May 12.-The SUI
preme court of the district this after
noon in an opinion handed down by
Justice Anderson in the suit brought
by Simon Burns ct al against John w.
Hays ct al, decided that the general
assembly of the knights of Labor at
IIagara Falls, November II, 1902
which elected Simon Burns, of Pitts
burg, Pa, grand master workman,
Henry A. Hicks, of New Jersy, Grand
Worthy Foreman and Thomas II. Can
ming, Of New York, general secretary
and treasurer was the legally consti-
tuted assembly and that the assembly
which at the same place and at the
same time elected John w. Hays and
others was illegal.
The court in its decision declared
the strife in the order to be unseem-
ly and likely to disrupt the organiza-
tion If continued and said it would be
willing to aid in the consummationI Of
any plan agreed upon by the conflict
ing interests to restore harmony and
prevent further litigation.
The Hays faction which has been in
possession OF the Knights of Labor
headquarters in this city, have prac-
tically agreed upon an appeal.
The court held upon points in con-
troversy that district assembly did
not have the power to try and expel,
that the secretary and treasurer had
no power to pass upon credentials;
that the general assembly alone had
the right finally to pass upon disputes;
and that the grand master workman
held his position until his successor
had been elected and had qualified.
