Continued from First Page.)

Workers Union and given assurances that they were with us and would extend 1. both moral and financial aid. We realize, also, that the glass workers are with us, together with the trainmen; and of course the coal miners are with us.. I want to say to the representatives of the various trades that the Amalgamated Association needs your moral and financial assistance. We do not ask you to disobey your own leaders or violate the laws of your organi- cations. l have received letters from many subordinate locals and other unions saying: We will stop working, too, If you say the word
 "Obey Your Instructions"
 ii We don't want you to do that, Obey the directions of your own leaders; see that your laws are preserved inviolate. l believe the time is coming in this defen- sive movement when, if necessary, you leaders will unite with the Amalgamated Association to preserve all labor organi- zations from the tyranny of the trusts. When your leaders say come out, there will be such a coming out as will maxe Wall street tremble and cause those whom we have enriches to tremble behind their piled-up millions.
 Let the Amalgamated Association so deport themselves as to merit the ap-
 
 within the encouragement and support Of church and State. What I say may pot be. received with favor, but right is right. This is a time when mems blood boil with indignation and his heart is In an ger, but this is no time for angry words or overt deeds. If organized labor by ob- servance of the law can win peaceful victory it will be the grandest achieve ment known to the annals of the world. Hence, I ask you to be careful, law-abid- ing but be determined. The trust can not run the mills without you They have said don't you dare to initiate our ex- ample We'll we have dared. Now, be steadfast and true; don't yield an inch; stand firm in the position you have taken. My opinion is that you will win. I know if the men who are out now stay out the victory is sure and certain. If the mills ever run you will run them"
 President Shaffer closed with a plea for the admission of negroes to membership fin the Amalgamated Association.
 S Workmen began today to dismantle the / Charters mill at Carnegie. The machin- cry will be taken to Leechburg where the mill will be located. Work on the s1 1Deweesburg property at McKeesport has been suspended. It Is said there is : mortgage of $2o0e 900 on the mills, and that nothing toward dismantling them will be done until some arrangement is made as to the mortgage.
 The fact that the annnal encampment. of the Second Brigade of the National Guard of Pennsylvania was postponed, and that 1t Is to be held at Somerset, near Pitts burg. is regarded as significant. The en- campment begins this week and will last until the latter part of the week, and it At thought here the strike has had some thing to do with its postponement. With fin two days the state will be in position to throw troops into Pittsburg, McKees- port and Newcastle within a few hours. , The present situation, however, does not warrant the calling out of state troops. t There was some disorder around the , Painter and Lindsay and McCutcheon mills tonight, and the police had ID es- cort the non-union workers home The strikers claim that the Painter mill can not be operated tomorrow
