Z DEMONSTRATION OF SYMPATHY.
Preparations are being made for the
demonstration OF sympathy with tho
strikers, In the nature OF public meet
ing at Corcoran Hail. on Church Hill,
on Tuesday night. President John M.
Ryal, of the Trades and Labor Council.
speakers expected to participate are Mr..
Rein Orr, Mr.. G. M. Wallace. Jr, Mr..
Dodge. Of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Firemen. and Mr.. Creamer. Colonel
Spotswood. and possibly others. The ad-
dresses will be along the same. lines as
those ut the Academy OF Music and IN
Leader Hall, Manchester The meeting
was prevented by rain Friday evening.
Perhaps no man identified In any way
with the strike has been more freely and
unjustly criticised recently than Mr..
Orr, the national representative. He
has not sought publicity nor explains
lions nor deemed any necessary, but In
talk with a reporter for The, Times
Dispatch and in answer to questions, he
explained tnht ne nHu ilul LIE PoWel "
order a strike in the first Instance. and
has not the power to declare one off.
AS a matter OF fact the men alone could
determine to strike, and they alone by
their action can declare a strike off.
The men reported to the general organi-
cation that they had presented an agree
ment to the company. and had been un-
able to secure any concession. The ma
tIonal officer was sent here In his official
III IN affaNf
ment and an amicable adjustment OF
some kind to the men. and after familiar
izing himself with the local situation
and the nature OF the demands made he
sought to- adju1t the differences. Fall

local organization. which thereupon de-
termined to order.a strike. The men
the way of support BEFORE they went out.
Now that the strike Is on, only the men
in the local association have the power
to call 1t off.
NO SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.
Asked as to the prospect of a settlement
OF any kind whereby the strike would be
terminated, Mr.. Orr admitted that he saw
nothing, but that something might de-
velop at any time.
While this is not stated, It is believed
that an effort will be made by Mr.. Orr
to secure conference with Mr., Frank
J. Gould, the chief owner of the prop
critics here. Mr.. Gould is now understood
to be in this country, and It is not I'M
probable that conference with him may
be sought.
