George Z. Holloway. the local leader Of the
Amalgamated mon. and President OF In
tsrpn.e Lodg. explains this;
-Presideot Sh.ner thought Gompers
was a mar and was going 90 be a mar In
stead Of a cheap tool Of the capitalists.
When the strike began President Shaffer
! expected Gompsu 20 call out the Federation
| OF labor and aid Va In tho struggle. just
as soon as we got fairly started he found
that Gompers had gone back M him. n
that he was not going 70 keep his word.
President Shaffer made the promise TO the
Federation men expecting that the Fedora
ton was going 20 help US, but IL hasn't
! Now. seeing that we are getting no help
from the Federation. We see no reason
why weshould pay our money to the Fedora
| ton men. They will have TO dig for them
selves
There ars not 500 msn In this cityvho
will receive thess strike benefits. There
are more than ~ 600 men idle. Only MEM
BEN Of the AmalgamAted Association who
are In good standing and who have been
unable 10 get work will receive h weekly
aid. The others win have 70 hunt for
themselves.
THIS decision has been announced 10 the
foreigners who expected help. They have
bean getting some store orders out OF the
relief fund raised by popular subscription.
but even on this money the Amalgamated
/ has claimed q 'rake-on' and there was
but little Of the 81 $50 raised left TO be
distributed among the other i1.onn idle
men. A. q result the foreigners are angry.

! pointed a com mittee TO see the strike leaders
and meet again to-day 10 get a report. To-
morrow they will demand strike benc-
fits and ~ they are not forthcoming they
promise interesting developments. The
