Tho great strike ut the Braddock cstHb-
lishment of Carnegie is still unsettled,
and some of the strikers have issued n
circular severely dcnouncing Father
Hickey for his sermon Sunday week adj
yisinv tho men to settle it on the terms
proposed by Mr.. Carnegie. On the
other hand circular has been issued by
those who favor his advice, from which
the Pittsburgh Gazette quotes rs follows:
We huyo waited now well nigh four
months for Carnegie TO come to our
terms, and what are the results? We
have. IL is true, succeeded in keeping the
mill idle, but with it we have brought
hunger and suffering into many home.
Those OF us who have never gone to bed
hungry, have never heard their little
ones cry for bread when there was no
bread to give, can form a very imperfect
idea OF what this means. Have you had
such an experience? Have you seen the
expression on yourotlspring's face when
mcal-time came and the self-denying
mother, dividing among them the little,
all that she had, and being unable to
meet further demands, had to tell them
there was no more? Some OF you, but
like myself that some doubtless belong
to the class who are not labor leaders
and who have so far submitted TO be led
by them. :,
There is always u risk that labor lead
era NAV have interests in other mills,
competitors Of our employers, which are
being iurthercd by stoppage OF our
mill. We are assuming this risk. We
are starving our families. We are tri-
fling with our employers, and We are
cutting our own heads off lE delaying
our acceptance OF Mr. Carnegic's propo-
sitiOn. We are stubborn, and chose to
wait until rail contracts have been placed
with other firms, and when We do decide
to work our employers may tell us that
We have driven their business into other
hands and they have nothing for us to
do.
We do not want preachers or priests
to interfere with us in this matter. We
say this out OF no disrcspect to them,
but We feel that it is sad commentary
on our intelligence II we cannot settle
this matter without them.
Let committee Of six OF tho business
men Of our town be appointed to pre-
side at meeting OF all employees. Let n
secret ballot be taken on the question Of
accepting or rejecting Mr.. CaFncgie's
offer. Let it 10 secret in every sense so
that no man can tell how his neighbor
voted. Let the voice Of the majority
rule, and l feel sure that before many
days have elapsed tho hum OF industry
will be heard and prosperity will once
more be with us 1T Braddock. Give it a
