HELP FOR STEEL STRIKERS.
Attitude of Federation of Labor-Action n
 by Several Lodges.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 6.-Business Agent Collins, of the National Machin- ists' union, discussing the probability of aid for the steel strikers, said to- day.
 "The American Federation will not go further than to give it's moral and financial support to the strikers. The constitution of the A. F. of L. forbids the declaration of sympathetic strikes. I look for trouble to result from this fight, it Is going to be the biggest labor war since the great strike of 1876. Or ganized labor is heart and soul with the strikers, and if they need financial aid they will get it."
 Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 6.-Presi- dent Gompers, of the American Federa- ton of Labor, who is sojourning here, said tonight he would not deny or af firm anything in regard to the federal tions attitude toward the steel strike. Under the rules of the federation the president and council have no power to order strike but may, in the event of a sympathetic strike, taken at the voli- ton of the subordinate unions, support it by counsel and financial assistance.
 New York, Aug. 6. = Following the lead of the building trade unions, the board of delegates of the miscellaneous trades of this city met to-day and pass ed resolutions indorsing the Amalga- mated steel strike and pledging the strikers moral and financial aid. Part of the resolutions passed reads:
 "Resolved-That if in any way the trades in this board can cooperate also by sympathetic strikes when called upon to aid the steel workers, they will stand ready to do so"
 Scranton, Pa., Aug. 6.-At a meeting of the executive board of District No. 1, of the United Mine Workers of Amer lea, held here to- day resolutions were adopted endorsing the stand taken by the Amalgamated steel workers.

We have had offers of land at reasonable prices and a DOT ton of the vote will be devoted to the purchase of such lands with view of enabling men who volunteer for the war to settle when the war is over"
