GOMPERS WITH SHAFFER.

City, accomp MED by Secretary Nor
ris0n and reached the strike headquar-
tiers unobserved. The conference IL q
secret one. IN fact II liz not generally

The results of this conference are OF the
greatest Importance 20 the strikers.
Thousands Of the Federation men work
side by side with the Amalgamated
men and their policy as to the strike
viii be Vltally important BE sides that
the Federation has a vast membership
and It's financial assistance Is an i'm
portant consideration.
President Shafier when shown the
report Of the starting Of the Lindsay
and McCutcheon plant Of the American
Steel Hoop company, said
sHAFFER KNOWS BETTER.
There's is nothing in It. / have
a report from Vice President Gibson
informig me that there are only two
men at the works. One is striker
and the other a common laborer. 1t
would do them no good and would do
the company harm to take men from
other mills and put them there, as they
would only break the machinery and
spoil the material.
There Is no place for them TO get
raw material. as they cannot get pud-
dlers to make Il, so how can they
run the finishing mills.
CAN'T GET MEN.
why, I can't get puddlers for union
mills. / have an order for ninety pud-
dlers to go to work at once at the
Sligo mills on the south side and can
not get them. Men are wanted at st.
Louis, Birmingham and all over the
country. We have advertisements In
the Amalgamated Journal for all class
90 ~ plriIinG man and ~ 10 irapoaGthla
for us 10 get them.
what / can't see is how the trust
can secure men to work In their mills
that are on strike when we cannot get
them to oil good union jobs In union
mills.
"The Pork House mills OF Lower
Allegheny have been after me to set
them men but cannot furnish them.
II have a report from Vice-President
John Ward. at Cleveland stating that
the men there are strong and will stick
to their brethren, and also word from
Vice President Shappell at Newcastle,
who says all Is we'll and quiet"
Mr.. Shaffer was asked as to the al
legged request OF the furnace men In
Shenango and Mahoning valleys to
come out. and said II have not ordered
them out"
The furnace men In question are in
the American Federation Of Labor.
BIG MEETING TONIGHT.
The union men in the I.awrencevill dis
trict are making great preparations for

mills are in this district as well as the
Clark plant, and the strikers say they

tic work The meeting will be addressed
by President Shaffer and other officers
Of the Amagamated association. The
question uppermost In the minds of Nc
Keesporters Is whether or not the Ma

urday night The organized men in
the pipe mills belong 20 the federation
Of labor and some claim II Is question
OF the constitution OF the federation for
members TO come out on a sympathetic
strike. The Amalgamated members as
sert that the National Rolling mill and
the Boston mill will surely stop work
on Saturday. They say there Is no
question on that point. As TO whether
the pipe mills will come out Is not def
inltely known. Some men saw the whole
plant will be idle while others think II
doubtful II the pipe mill men would
Join.
