Two Claimants Fight For Control Of Labor Order
A long running dispute over the office of general secretary of the Knights of Labor rose again as Thomas J. Canning and Chamberlain, both claiming the post, faced officials in court. Justice Wright postponed hearings to February 28 to allow pleading changes and consolidation of multiple quo warranto actions. The case traces back years through state and federal courts, with the Burns and Hawes factions previously ruling and appeals continuing up to the Supreme Court. Edward A. Viandy named general manager of Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, with W. H. Marshall resigning to become president of American Locomotive Works. The Church of the Pilgrims, Congregational, was incorporated with trustees elected and named incorporators.
