Wabash, pref  At the afternoon session President Shaffer, in behalf of the Amalgamated association, formally presented the case for the organized workmen and the strikers. He laid stress upon the fact thdt uiifil this year the union had made no effort directly to force ft union In all the plants of the combine for the reason that It was thought best to have that movement originate and lDe earrltd on among the workmen in the mills. Since last year, however, a new condition confronted the union men. The officials of the various cohipanies had plainly Indicated, he said, that they are working 011 a policy for operating their nonunion plants in preference to the union mills and only working the latter when It is absolutely necessary. This plan, he declared,.is forcing the union men to desert the organization in order to get work. The Idle mills being union and the Union men being rendered poverty stricken as the price for being members of the organization ffiean either that the Amalgamated association is going to be disbanded soon or else the nonunion mills will have to be made union, so that equal justice will be given to all. 16 South Main St., PtttttM.
