| Text | Notwithstanding the action of the Association, Mr. McKnight has not yet surrendered his office. He claims that he has not been properly notified of his removal, and also that he was deprived of his office without properly substantiated charges and without being given an opportunity to defend himself. The Association claims that it had ample grounds for its action, and that Mr. McKnight, being but a salaried employee of the Association, it could dispense with his services at any time. McKnight retorts that, this being the case, he is entitled to a year's salary and that he will compel the Association to pay him the same. On Friday Mr. Byrne, chairman of the Association, made a formal demand upon McKnight for all books, funds and documents the property of the Association. McKnight has refused to do so and has retained counsel, by whose advice he also refuses to publish his grounds for his action. An ugly feeling is growing up all around, and unless the affair is promptly and amicably settled some interesting disclosures are likely to be made. |
