Los Angeles herald., 1892-07-11

statement of the strikers, but it is eyi-
dent to any observer that directions are
given by certain men. The reason for
he failure to have an official organiza-
ton seems likely to be found in the
caution and desire not to get involved
in court proceedings. O'Donnell this
evening refused to admit that the ad-
vlsory committee was still in force, and
said they were not yet considering of the
advisability of its reorganization. He
said if congressional investigation
committee called upon them, he sup
posed they would respond and give the
committee all the information neces-
Eary.
Arrangements have been begun, it is
said, by which there will be temporary
hospital for the care of wounded men
near the probable scene OF battle in case
another fight occurs. ODonnell him
self was very non-committal when inter-
rogated upon the point this evening,
the Pittsburg Mercy hospital called and
proffered his assistance, and had also
offered to relieve any wounded that
might be now in the city.
EXPRESSIONS FROM THE PULPIT.
All the churches were largely at
tended this morning in anticipation of
some radical expression from the pulpit,
and the visitors were not disappointed
at the Methodist church, Rev. Mr..
Thompson made some forcible allusiuns
to the existing strife. Tho manifesta-
tions OF approval which followed his ex-
pressions amounted almost to applause,
and the eentiments of the prayer OF Rev.
DIR. McIfiyaf, also received cordial ap-
proyal. In speaking about the matter,
Father Bullion said:
"This is a peaceable community, but
q fearless one. They will submit to law
but they will not submit to what they
deem Illegal forces. II anothey attempt
is made to force Rinkertone into Home
stead I fear the very worst. The ques-
tion cannot be settled that way. The
firm aud men must arbitrate; but If the
firm refuses to arbitrate, then I should
doubt its honesty. But the opinion of
the country can coerce them. Both
sides must come together, or me will
have most shocking and demoralizing
sequel to the wild work of last week." r
NO HOPE FOR ARBITRATION.
There is no promising indication that
arbitration viii be invoked to settle the
existing difficutties. 1t is stated that
the Carnegie company received the sug-
gestion with depressing chilliness, and
the leaders Of the strikers intimate that
they consider the Amalgamated associa-
tion more competent than any outsider
to preserve the interests OF labor in the
present difficulty.
O'Dopnell received letter from AL
fred Love, president of the universal
peace union OF Philadelphia. asking the
men to submit their grievances to arbi-
tration, and stating that the union
would address Carnegie in the came
spirit. ODonnell stated that it was not
customary to settle Algamation associa-
tion affairs in that way.
A letter was today received from nor-
ace Stiles, a lawyer in Washington. d.
c., urging the advisory committee to re-
organize, legally incorporate and then
file bill in equity, claiming legal lien
upon the company's property. The let
ter WAS read with considerable interest,
and it is stated that it will be referred to
the Amalgamated association lawyers.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE REoRGANIzING.
Although the formal announcement
was made at headquarters this evening
that the advisory committee was reor-
ganized with all its old officers, the
statement is now made that reorganiza-
tion was effected Saturday. 1t seems to
be quite certain that during the present
lull, the advisory committee, is as good
way of preserving order as can be
found, but il there should be any fight
ing, the locked out work men will proba-
bly, go to other leaders. The people
seem to be generally glad that it has
taken up its work again, but they do
not believe it will be long before it
again dissolyes and burns it's records.
