Show . . Review of ths Strike. Pittsburg, Nov. 21. Speaking of the ac- j tion of the Amalgamation lodges declaring the Homestead strike off. National Secretary Kilgallon said today: "The association is well satisfied with the conduct of the men dnrins the struggle. While some features "of the contest were painful, the loyalty of the men to the association and the confidence they reposed in each other is without parallel in labor disputes. From the start the men wera masters of their own destiny, and the association has confined itself to assisting in every possible way to bring about a successful termination of the struggle. If it has not been able to do that it does not reflect upon the power and influence of the organization. The case was one where vast accumulation of wealth in the hands of the Carnegie company swayed the line of battle in their favor. The association associa-tion will continue its conservative ways and we have very good reasons to believe that the success which attended its efforts will follow it in the future." The report to the effect that the funds of the association were misappropriated Is indignantly denied by President Garland, who said if necessary it could be shown how every cent of money received had been expended. ex-pended. ! |
