Text | A few days ago a dispatch was published stating that President Von der Ahe had said that the fight between the League and Brotherhood was simply a fight between capital and labor, and that he would be found on the side of capital. Eddie Von der Ahe, President Von der Ahe’s only son, to-day said: “That was a lie made out of the whole cloth. My father has never abused the Brotherhood in any way. Mr. O’Neall, his colleague, is a friend of labor, and has always spoken well of the Brotherhood. Under the circumstances I see no reason why the remaining clubs of the American Association can not at once come to an understanding with the Brotherhood and form a combination that will easily put to rout that formed by the League at New York yesterday. It, in fact, seems to me that this is the only remaining and possible plan. The people of St. Louis seem a unit in favor of it and I would like to see my father respect their wishes. |
