Union Mills Trouble - Superintendent
Dillon Says 80 Per Cent of the Old Men
Can Never Return.
Superintendent Dillon, of the Thirty.
third street mill, was seen yesterday and
said: 'This is the first time 1 have sat
down to talk with a reporter We have
been doing the work and the other side the
talking. 1 want to say that we are running
full at the Thirty-third street mill and sim
gle turn at the Twenty-ninth street. The
quality and quantity of the production is
up to the average. We have had no
reflections thus far by the inspectors,
although before it was a frequent occur
renee The breakages are nothing but what
We have always had and always will have
to contend with. wish to state positively
that of the men who went out, 80 per cent
can never work in anY mill operated by the
Carnegie Company. 1t they should come
back tomorrow in a body and ask for work,
it would be refused them. We have no
pieces for them, all the positions being
filed"
Emanuel Schillo, of the Thirty-third
street Press Committee, when asked what
he thought of Superintendent Dillon's
claims, said: Gas far as the quality of the
material goes, the tensile strength depends
entirely upon the material used
An Explanation for Good Work.
''The raw material being worked in the
Thirty-third street mills is made at
Park Bros and Johnstown, and the
finished material could not help being up
to the standard test As to not taking back
80 per cent of the old men if they wanted to
come back, it seems to me that Messrs
Dillon and Scott would not make personal
visits to our men to try to induce them to
return if they do not need them badly.
They endeavor to influence the men in all
sorts of ways-the son through the father
and then another through some other rela-
tive"
"It is generally reported, Mr.. Sehilfo,
that the men out here are kept from going
to work by the officials of the Amalgamated
Association who are looking out for them
selves in this matter
''The whole supervision of the strike"
says MIR. Schillo, 'devolves upon the Exec
utive Committee, which is elected by the
men themselves The committee is close to
the men and know their will in the matter

''Do the members of the local lodge who

mo, indeed" said Mr. Schillo. "The
fact Of the matter is that great many men,
bers of the committee have put their hands
down in their pockets to relieve some of
the poorer members. Take Warren, for in
stance. He has been offered an elegant
position in the East, but he refused it,
that his services were due to his
in their trouble. There is
no personal end to gain in this affair." We
are all working for the common good"
"You are distributing some benefits, are
you not?"
YES" replied Mr.. Schillo. Gin urgent
cases We have applied as much as $40 at a
time. This is not from the fund of the
Lodge. but from money obtained
by donations, subscriptions and gathered
together by other means We refuse no
one who is in actual need Some people
come here who never worked in the mills,
but want benefits because they are members
Of the Association, and have refused to work
in positions offered them. Under the con-
'titution these people are not entitled to
