East Liverpool Strike.

Lust LltcFpOOA
PIrTsBuBGH, February There seems to
be no disposition on either side to end the
long strike at East Liverpool. The latest
move on the part Of the strikers is thus set
forth in the Labor Tribune: Last week an
authorized committee of the Grand Assem-
bly,, X. of L., composed of members from
several leading States, visited East Liver
pool, O., to inquire carefully into the diff
ferences between the pottery firms and the
potters. Employers aud employed, officials
Of the municipal government and private
citizens were examined with reference to
the matter. The employers heretofore
affected still maintained their position,
asserting that they would never employ a
man who Is a member of the Knights of
Labor, or any other labor organization, or
who dared To join kindred organizations.
The committee decided that the men were
in the right, and will have them placed Oh
the pay roll of the organization.
IL IL Determined
that since the East Liverpool pottery firms
in question have declared war TO the knife
they shall have it to the hilt, and as much
deeper as will lay their ovens out cold.

try. 1t should be settled by prompt, ener-

to provide for the outraged potters. They

brethren. Aid should be sent through A.

the measures that will be necessary to bring
