,,PITTspuRoH. Aug lit may now DO said
with positiveness that tho members OF tho
Advisory Committee OF Homestead strikers
and the members OF the Amalgamatcd Asso.
citation OF iron workers arc anxious to mako
an unconditional surrender to the Carnegie
Company. They wish TO declare the strike Oif
and admit defeat They arc more anxious to
!. surrender than the company Is to have them
surrender. Furthermore. II may be said truly
that II tho Carnegie Company would tO.mOr-
row say that places would bc found for the
mechanics who worked in tho mill. and who
went on strike purely from sympathy the Adj
vtsory Committee would at onre dec are tho
strike of.

also thut tho mechanics and lahorcrS who
went on tho strike from sympathy would
eiCuify their intention or desire To- give ur tho

trouble now is over the sympathetic strikers.
Their wages were not affected in tho least ly

by the COMPANY They had no ground for

- According to the member Of the assoc ia ion
with whom the reporter talked there arc hon-
orable men in the Advisory Committee. and
they nre responsible for the continuance OF
tho strike. These mon say that because tho
mechanics and lnborers went ont IN sympathy
the association must now stand Ny them. and
must not settle tho strike or declare 1t OF
until they are provided for.
THE Amalgamatcd Association would have
liked nothing better" said this man. than
that there should have been break among
tho mechanics a week ago when it was first
realized that tho strike was lost. But
instead OF breaking the mechanics passed
. resolution to stand by the association
thus imposing on the association q greater re-
sponsibility. Now. there would not lie u mo-
ments hesitation in declaring tho strike oil
two could get rid of OUR Obligation Every
man realizes that the company has already
won the fight and that It is "A foolish thing Tor
the worknen t. keep up the struggle longer.
Nobody realizes his any better than tho SEN
sble men o! the Advisory Committee. and if
they could lind any excuse Tor surrcnderin.
with honor they would not hesitate"
How, about the mcn Of nqHuesno and
Beaver Falls and the Lawrencevilie mills ?"
There was no answer other than t. SAY that
II the symrathy strikers can get terms the
practically impossible. the strike will 10 on
uominally.
