IVOLUTION
Amalgamated Associations Secretary Says
Strike May Have a Bloody Ending
THE BAYONET MAY BE POSSIBLE
Declares It Will Be Appealed to If All
Other Means Kail Unions Decide
Their Coarse Shaffer Disappointed at
the Number That Will Stand Firm
PITTSBURG Aug 12 The iron
mstears are tonight claiming victory
in the great steel strike They base
their claim upon the refusal of the
Amalgamated men at South Chicago
Joliet and Bay View to obey the gen
eral strike order of President Shaffer
and their sucecss in maintaining oper
ations in other plants where it was
anticipated that there would be seri
ous trouble
The strike leaders meet the claims
of the masters with the assertion that
their cause is making satisfactory
progrcj and that they will show
themselves masters of the situation be
fore the contest has progressed much
further They do not conceal their
disappointment at the refusal of their
western brethren to join with them in
the strike but none of the leaders
would discuss the defection
The association secretary however
gave out an interview on the general
situation in which he said
I tell you this question will have to
be settled in some way If not by
peaceful strike then by legislation
If that fails the ballot will be tried
If all else fails I believe that it will
result in an appeal to the bayonet I
tell you there is a condition existing
today that places this country on the
eve of one of the greatest revolutions
that ever could occur in the history
of the world
Secretary Williams urged the blame
for the strike upon the refusal of th6
United States steel corporation to ar
bitrate and declared that before the
strike was over thousands of men in
other trades would be drawn into it
to save the Amalgamated association
and the principles for which it stands
He said
We agreed to arbitration because
the business men and citizens of
Pittsburg urged us to do so We
were willing to risk the interests of
our organization in the hands of oth
ers in this dispute if there was any
prospect for peace It is practically
the first time in the history of our
organization that we have gone this
far The effect upon the future would
be far reaching as it would enable
manufacturers to ask the same con
cession from us and this we have in
the past declined to grant because we
feared the results This arbitration
being turned down fiat and uncondi
tionally those who have been urging
us to submit to it will have a chance
to prove their interest and friendship
for us in our inevitable battle with
the greatest trust that was ever or
ganized
Mr Williams said that the strike
had been studiously avoided by the of
ficers of the Amalgamated association
It had been as studiously encouraged
by the officials of the manufacturers
organization The officers of the
Amalgmated association had done all
they could and had worked hard to
bring about peace The battle was
now in the hands of the men and it
was up to them as to what the out
come would be
