The Organization Sorely ir
Need of Money.

Tor About Five Months 1t Has Been Pay
ing Out $1,000 Weekly to Strikers.
The American Federation of Labor Is
sues an Appeal for Assistance for the
Homestead Strikers.
PITTsBBRG, Nov. Ill is now almost
five months since the sympathy strike
inaugurated by members of the Anal
gamated association at the Lawrence
Vile and Beaver Falls Carnegie mills
began. Tuesday the Carnegie Steel
company started the last of its works
the Beaver Falls plant-claiming that so
far as the Lawrenceville and Homestead
works are concerned the str1ke Is
over.
1t is not denied by any one that the
company has unquestionably
The Better of the Fight,
although it has been enormously expen-
sive. There are numbers of the men in
Lawrenceville and Homestead who are
disheartened and at the same time there
are as many more who are yet deter
mined to fight it out.
1t is question of finance, which is at
present the most serious problem which
the men have to deal with, and 1t was
this which led to the nine hours confer
ence of the advisory committees from
Homeste ad, Lawrenceville and Beaver
Falls with the officials Of the AmalSa-
mated association. The conference was
not entirely satisfactory.
The conference was not for the pur-
pose of calling off the strike. There
was no discussion of that. they say, for
matters have gone too far. The prob
le1.i was to raise money to prolong the
fight, in the hope that something may
turn up favorably in the end, for now,
were the difficulties adjusted many
strikers would not be taken back, their
positions being filled.
A member of the advisory committee
said Tuesday there was no use OF hold
ing out false delusiOns, but TIE situation
must be confronted as it is. There are
about / 900 persons in Homestead and
800 each III Lawrencevllle and Beaver
Falls on the relief roll, he said. ''Of
these one half, or 800, have families, and
the Amalgamated association contracts
to pay them IS a week; the other SOC
get So a week, making total of $lO,4 OO
a week. This is a severe drain on an or
ganization composed of only about %, OOC
members. The outside financial aid,
while generous to large degree ut first,
has fallen off until it is hardly factor,
and the question of finance Is indeed
serious"
At present there are between $500 and
! 5000 men striking at Homestead, OF
which, the strikers say, only tifty-nine
are old employees.
At Iawrenceville both sides agree that
the plants are filled though the strikers
say not by capable men. ABOUT l,6OC
men are working in the two plants. The
Beaver Falls plant was thrown oper
Monday to its old men, and so far thirty
have applied.
Another strike against the Amalga
mated association, which is still on, II
at the Elba iron works, where about
300 men are out. The plant has beer
almost entirely filed.

Frick VIII Open New Mills.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-H. G. Frick,
chairman Of the Carnegie Steel COM
pany, was at the navy department Tues
day, by appointment, to discuss with
Secretary Tracy the matter of steel de-
hveries for naval construction. Much,
if not all, of the delay in the completion
of the new naval vessels has been caused
by the fact that steel of the peculiar
quality requiI ed for armor has not been
delivered in sufficient quantity to keel
pace with the construction.
The secretary feels that the difficulty
lies in an insufficient plant for the pro
duction of the steel, and is directing his
attention to that subject. Tuesday Mr.
Prick told him that his company intend
ed to meet the requirements of the de
partment, and that it had arranged u
