SHAFFER DENIES REPORT.
No Emergency Assessment For Crea-
tion of Great Strike.

IlOO OF 1FS9I SITlkSs
Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 26.-President
Shaffer, of the Amalgamated associa-
tion, emphatically denied the report
from Wheeling that the association
lodges in that district are to vote on
an emergency assessment for the crea,
ton of a gigantic strike fund by the
time the agreement with the United
States Steel corporation expires, eight
months hence.
He says that about six or eight
weeks ago he authorized the levying
of an assessment Of 10 per cent, but
this was to make up a fund having
for it's purpose caring for men who,
since the great strike, have been una
BILE to secure employment. Further
more, President Shaffer said, the
unions were without authority to vote
on assessments, that authority being
vested entirely in the officers of the
Amalgamated association.
