To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
at is said that number of Allegheny or
CARNATIONS that are more or less indebted to
the city are holding back and showing a great
lack Of interest in the event. Some of the
memcers of the committee intend to remem-
ber 1T and retaliate by voting against their re-
quests In the future"

morning. I think the committee or COM
mitteeman who expressed such sentiments
should be quietly and distinctly laid on the up
stairs shelf. There is In the first place no or
CARNATIONS which depend on the votes of this
committee to have any of their requests
granted; ne organization which can or will Tor

demonstration makes requests from any citi-
zen, Councilman or committeeman OF this
parade. All requests made by Allegheny or
ganizations are made to its individual MEM
Ders for dues and assessments which each in
diyldual member pays or he is suspended
The lack OF interest is shown by the organi-
cations. But the committee is very dilatory in
its work. Here is the 18th almost here and not
one of the different organizations which mean
TO turn out yet know their positions In line.
They do not know where the formation Is to be
IN ade; they do not know what time the parade
is to be, or whether it is a daylight or noon
