In addition I give one million dollars of such bonds, the
proceeds thereof to be used to maintain the libraries and
halls I have built for our workmen.
In return, the Homestead workmen presented the following address:
_Munhall, Pa., Feb'y 23, 1903_
MR. ANDREW CARNEGIE
New York, N.Y.
DEAR SIR:
We, the employees of the Homestead Steel Works, desire by
this means to express to you through our Committee our great
appreciation of your benevolence in establishing the "Andrew
Carnegie Relief Fund," the first annual report of its
operation having been placed before us during the past
month.
The interest which you have always shown in your workmen has
won for you an appreciation which cannot be expressed by
mere words. Of the many channels through which you have
sought to do good, we believe that the "Andrew Carnegie
Relief Fund" stands first. We have personal knowledge of
cares lightened and of hope and strength renewed in homes
where human prospects seemed dark and discouraging.
Respectfully yours
{ HARRY F. ROSE, _Roller_
{ JOHN BELL, JR., _Blacksmith_
Committee { J.A. HORTON, _Timekeeper_
{ WALTER A.
