THE MORNING (TRKGONTAN, MONDAY, JULY 15, 1901.
ORDER' WILL BE OBEYED
THE 1GBEAX STEEL WORKERS'
STRIKB-:WlLlBE ON- TODAY.
Fljtibnr Wl Be the Center of the
Tfolle Proh'ahlllty" of a
General Wallt-Out.
PITTSBURG, July 14. From present In
dications it. looks probable that President
EhaffeVfc strike order, Issued last night to
the Amalgamated Association members In j
we employ or tne ateei ioop company, in
American Steel Company and the American
Tinplate Company, will be obeyed and the
great struggle between the Amalgamated
Association and steel companies will be
on In earnest tomorrow. In the united
mills of the three companies against
which a strike has been declared it is
predicted that not a wheel will turn to
morrow. An effort will be made also to
close down some of the non-union mills
' ct the city and cripple the rest. The
Amalgamated people are very sanguine
Df success.
"The strike was not of our own seek
ing," said President Shaffer today. "It
was forced upon us. We were not con
tending for wages, but for principle, for
self-preservation. The tin and sheet peo
ple will not be able to turn a single wheel
tomorrow. We have our forces thoroughly
organized and there will be some surprises
In store. The strike order will be prompt
ly obeyed by all our men."
Developments today Indicate that Pitts
burg Is going to be a pretty lively strike
center. The most Interest attaches to the
"Painter's mill," on the south side, and
to that of Lindsay & McCutcheon, in Alle
gheny. Both mills are controlled by the
American Steel Hoop Company and have
hitherto been aggressively nonunion, and
much depended upon the action taken
by the men In those plants. The employes
of both mills held open meetings today
and both decided to strike tomorrow.
These mills employ 700 men. However, W.
Jenks, manager of the American Steel
Hbop Company, said today that both mills
would resume tomorrow as usual.
The fight at the Painter mill Is to be
made the fight of the strike. Both sides
will make- stubborn resistance. If the
Amalgamated people can close this mill,
they believe they will have won the
greater part of the strike. The mill Is
not only an important one, but the Steel
Hoop Company has for years succeeded
In thwarting the efforts made to union
ize it.
President Shaffer was asked today If he
liad set a time when, no settlement having
been effected, he would extend the strike
to all the subsidiary -steel companies of
the United States Steel Corporation. He
said he must decline to make his plans
known at present. It may be said, how
ever, on the strength of reliable Informa
tion, that the strike within Its present
limits is Intended merely as a show of
strength.
Strength of the Anaoclatlon.
At the conference last week the repre.
sentatlves of the steel corporation were re
peatedly warned that the association was
much stronger than they knew. They were
told of the organization of mills of which
they had no knowledge. But the steel
men would not believe that the associa
tion waa as strong as it was claimed to
be. Thus It is believed the purpose Is
to show its strength by confining the
strike to three companies. When the show
of strength has been made, the associa
tion expects the companies to ask for an
other conference. It is said if the com
panies show no inclination to make a
settlement, the strike will be extended to
three more companies. If the trust win
not yield, then the strike will be ex
tended to such Independent companies as
sell their finished products or raw ma
terials, to companies to which a strike has
been declared, Should the strike attain
such proportions, It would be likely to go
still farther. The Amalgamated Associa
tion and the Federation of Labor two
years ago formed a secret alliance. It is
claimed, when It was agreed that the or
ganization, when on strike, could also call
out he steel men of the federation. The,
latter has organizations in many mills
whose workmen are not eligible to mem
bership in the association.
In describing the final conclusion of the
conference in the Hotel Lincoln Saturday
afternoon. President Shaffer said that af
ter the final proposition of the manufac
turers had been taken up and discussed
there was a painful silence for about five
minutes. The workers waited for some
further remark on the part of the manu
facturers and the latter appeared to be
waiting for a remark from the workers.
Finally, one of the manufacturers' com
mittee broke the silence by saying: "Well,
J guess there Js no further use In waiting
ior other developments. The men have
nothing- to offer and the manufacturers
"nave gone as far as they can In justice
Jto themselves."
President Shaffer replied that he ac
corded with this view. If the manufac
turers had no other proposition to offer
it was useless to remain. Each side arose
to leave.
While keenly regretting the break In the
peaceful relations between the organiza
tion and the manufacturers, president
Shaffer said there seemed no other course
to pursue. His offer to the hoop com
pany to reconstruct the scale for cotton
tie and hoop "mills was one of the most
impbrtanty Sacrifices that had ever been
offered by the association. He doubted if
the settlement could have been made on
that basis without a great deal of trou
ble, but the committee felt willing to
make this concession to preserve peace.
Again, in the offer to exclude the tin
plate mills, the hoop mills and the sheet
mills from all further difficulties with
plants owned by the United States Steel
Corporation, should the agreement be
reached on. the final proposition of the
Amalgamated Association, was granting
the manufacturers their most earnest
wish of recognizing the Individual respon
sibility of each of the constituent corpora
tions of the parent organization, known
as the United States Steel Corporation. It
was thought that the manufacturers
would have quickly accepted this final
proposition. Their refusal was a surprise
to the Amalgamated mdn. Of course, this
proposition is not now open to the manu
facturers. One Impqrtant point referred to by
President Shaffer was the question arising
from the operation of the Sharon Tlnplata
mills, which are independent of the com
bined These would have to be dealt with
soon. The Sharon mills have a working
agreement with the American Tinplate
Company, by which the latter company
takes all of the product of the independ
ent mills for the term of five years. It is
said that the Sharon mill will be ordered
closed If this agreement Is carried out
while the strike is in progress. Section 35,
of article 19. of the, Amalgamated Associa
tion laws, provides for this very case.
:7Keans a Los to the Country.
"Willis L. King, vice-chairman of the
board of managers of Jones &. Laughllns,
an independent corporation, did not hesi
tate to, say, when approached today,, that
the Inability of the conferees to agree was
a most unfortunate condition and meant
an Immense loss, not only to all con
cerned, but to the country generally.
"A claim for increased wages by th
worklngmen," he said, vls a comparative
ly easy thing to arbitrate, for both sides
will make some -concessions, but where
there Is a principle concerned, a there is
in this case, and I take the newspapers
as authority for it, then it reaches a
point where arbitration Is Impossible and
either one side or the other must ac
knowledge defeat by surrendering.
"Mr. Morgan and his associates, as. I
understand Jt, are not opposed, to union
ism wherever It exists, but they are op
posed to taking such a step as will ne
cescitate their non-union employes join,
lng the Amalgamated Association. If, in
these ndn.-union mollis, the Amalgamated
Association has such a hold as it claims,
the In my judgment, it is .a very easy
matter and only right that It should show
Its strength, and If the majority of the
employes are In 'favor of organizing, pos.
slbly it would be In a better position, to
go before a board of arbitration and ask
control of such mill or mills, but. If it
has not such a majority. I cannot see any
justice In its claim. There is bui one
phase of the matter which I think can
be left to arbitration, so long as the pres
ent principle is Involved, and that Is
whether it Is right for the steel corpora
tion to force Its men Into an organiza
tion against their will. I think the men
are arbitrators in this matter."
In answer to a question, Mr. King said:
"Should the fight become very bitter and
be long drawn out, I can see no earthly
hope of the worklngmen winning. They
could cause much trouble but I do not
think they could ever come out victo
rious." Warner Arm.s, president of the American
Steel Hoop Company, said tonight:
"I am sorry that our friendly relations
In the past should have to be broken In
this way. We have done all in our power
to meet this trouble In an amicable man
ner. With this breach once opened, It
must be understood that the onus Is on tne
side of the Amalgamated Association and
the public will understand this."
The Post tomorrow will say: ,
"Fifty thousand miners employed m the
many mines of the Pittsburg district are
willing to lay down their picks, walk out
of the mines and assist the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers 1n
their fight against the steel trust. Patrick
Dolan, district president of the United
Mlneworkers, Is authority for this state,
ment, and If necessary the miners will
Immediately quit .work.'-
In the course of a statement late to
night President Shaffer said:
"With the '74,000 men affected by the
original order calling out the sheet steel,
steel hoop and tin workers, this last gen
eral order will increase the number to
more than 150,000, and will involve the -j
Federal Steel Company, the rational
Steel Company and the National Tube
Company."
HANGING IN THE BALANCE.
Tlnplate-Workera at Connellsville
Are Undecided.
CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., July K. The
employes of the Humbert p'ant of the
American Tlnpl-ate Company at Con
nellsvllle are hanging In the balance to.
night. They are waiting for the otl-er
tinplate mills to take the Initiative. The
Humbert mills are non-union.
At Greenville some 700 men will be af
fected by the strike, and the great ma
jority are favorable to o. hold-out to ths
end.
At New Kensington the members of
the Amalgamated Association employed
In the Pittsburg and Pennsylvania plants
of the American Tinplate Company will
not resume work tomorrow. The men
declare that they are In better shape to
withstand a long fight than ever befare,
and, no matter what demands their lead,
ers may make. It will be approved by
the workers here, for they will stand as
a unit to obtain the concessions demand
ed. Should the strike be prolonged, it
will affect about 950 men.
Newcastle Mills Will Be Idle.
NEWCASTLE, Pa., July 14 Fully 40D0
men will be affected in his cly by the
Amalgamated strike. Of these, 2000 are
employed in the Shenango plant, and 140
in the Greer plant of the American Tin
plate Company, and 600 at the steel plant
of the National Steel Company. The men
of the 'latter mill were not called out
by President Shaffer, but notices were
posted there today stating that the plant
will not be In operation. Not one wheel
will be turned In" either the Greer or She
nango tin mills, the largest plants of the
kind In the country. The men are ready
for a long strike, as they have been pre
paring for this fight for months.
THE MACHINISTS STRIKE.
Not Declared OS at Cincinnati, bat
Men RetHrn'to Work.
CINCINNATI, July 14. The reports of
yesterday that the machinists' strike was
broken was confirmed today, when the
men of the Fay-Hagen chops voted to
go to work tomorrow morning in a body.
The strike has not been declared off here!
but the strikers have decided to vote by
shops, and in this way almost all have
arranged to resume tomorrow except some
of the smaller shops. The strikers here
deny the statement of President James
O'Connell that the International union has
funds to continue the contest.
Strike on International Road.
EAGLE PASS, Tex., July 14. The en
gineers and firemen on the International
Railroad have resigned, and business on
that road is now suspended. The train
men were refused an advance in wages.
There Is no concerted strike, but aU the
men are out. The road is a Southern Pa
cific property, but the men are paid In
Mexican money, and this has greatly de
preciated in value, cutting down their
wages.
Chicago Holders Will Go Ont.
CHICAGO, July 14. Action taken to
night by Chicago members of the Iron
Moldero' Union will result In a general
strike tomorrow of the trade employes
In the foundries of Chicago and v'clnltv.

Imitation of Wood Carving's.
Philadelphia Times.
The Germans are imitating wood carv
ings in plaster, bronze and other material
by a new process which is said to be su
perior to all other methods In the fact
that it produces perfectly the fibers and
pores of the wood models. These are
usually made of porous oak, and the
new plan Is to cover them quite thickly
with a solution of 2 per cent collodion,
which, when it dries, leaves the usual
porous appearance of the wood unaltered,
while it renders the model oil-proof. The
casting is then proceeded ulth ia the
usual way.
THE DROUTH CONTINUES
YESTERDAY REPETITION OF PAST
TWO WEEKS IN MIDDLE WEST.
Some Slight Showers .Reported Laat

and a Tornado.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 14. No relief
came, today to break the almost unprece
dented drought In the Sbuthwest. The day
was a repetition of the past two weeks,
with reports from many places In Western
Missouri, Kansas and "the territories of
temperatures over the 100 mark. At most
places the sun shone mercilessly, with
not even a fitful cloud to break Its rays,
nor a slight breeze. In Kansas City, last
night proved more bearable, a breeze
from the north alleviating the conditions,
but a day of intense heat followed.
Tonight there Is a prospect of rain in
MAY BE PRESIDENT OF
DANIEL S.
Oklahoma, but there are no indications of
a change from any other part of the
Southwest. With no relief in sight, the
fears for the crops that have been ex
perienced daily are fast becoming reali
ties, and the scarcity of water and gen
erally dry conditions make the element of
fire almost a serious one. What the real
damage to corn, the crop most affected,
will be Is problematical, but It Is prob
ably safe to say that half the crop will be
lost. The supply of water Is short in al
most every direction, and the shipment
of cattle and hogs to this market to save
them continues. In Kansas City today
the Government thermometer registered
102, and at Marysville, Kan., 101 was
recorded, against 100 yesterday. There
were three prostrations at Marysville.
TEXAS DROUGHT BROKEN.
Heavy Rainfall and High Wind at
Dennlson.
DENNISON, Tex., July 14. The worst
drought ever experienced In this section
was broken this afternoon by a terrific
rainfall of over two hours' duration, the
volume of rain being almost equal to a
cloudburst. The storm was accompanied
by a wind of almost tornado force. Re
ports indicate that the rain Is general In
this vicinity. It has come just in the nick
of time to save the coUon crop. It will
benefit the fruit crop and furnish stock
water, which had entirely failed, causing
much distress, and vlll benefit lowland
cotton. '
The Southern M. E. Church, recently
erected, at a cost of $15,000, was partially
demolished, and a number of small houses
In the northern portion of the city were
wrecked. Shade trees and window glass
all over the city were demolished.
A tornado Is reported to have passed
over the Chickasaw Nation, but there are
no particulars here.
Prayed for Rain.
WICHITA, Kan., July 14. Today was
tho hottest day of the season In Southern
Kansas, the thermometer registering as
high as 118 in the sun. This afternoon,
special prayer services for rain were
held at all of the churches here. Two
thousand people crowded into the Roman
Catholid Church to pray.
Hundreds of cattle are reported to have
died of the heat and thirst In Western
Kansas.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., July 14 -At all

that rain is needed, but with the absence
of hot winds the crop will stand consider

In Nebraska are well nigh a failure.
Cotton Injured by Drought.
AiRDMORE, I. T., July 14. Reports
from the cotton belt show that cotton Is

vailed in thfr Chickasaw Nation for the
past five weeks. Unless rain fallB within
the next few days crops will be cut short.
About GO per cent of the corn crop has al

concessionaires were promptly arrested
and taken to police headquarters. No
charge was preferred by the exposition
officials, and the men were release!. The
showmen returned to their concessions
and again began felling tickets. A de

BRYANISM IS DEAD.
Conservative Element In the Party
Coming: to the Front.
WASHINGTON, July 14. R. G. Rosing,
chairman of the Democratic State Central
Committee of Minnesota, has been flitting
around through Eastern States for some
time, on a political mission, and comes
out flat-footed in a statement that Bry
an is no longer to be considered as a
Democratic possibility. He said it is time
for the Democratic party to become con
servative, and to seek issues upon which
it can win, rather than exploded the
ories. Rosing had been an enthusiastic

supporter of Bryan for several years past,
but evidently he was doing It for the
purpose of keeping In with the party,
rather than making an exposition -of his
beliefs Rosing was at Kansas City a year
ago, pounding away with the Towne Vlce-
Presldentlal boom. He felt at that time
that he was In an absurd position. He
knew the Democracy had no business to
nominate Towne, but as Towne was from
Minnesota, he was compelled to give him
his support. The Bryanltes had the great
est difficulty In' dragging their party from
sound financial moorings In Minnesota,
because the lea'dlng Democrats there be
lieved In sound currency. It will be easy'
for the Minnesota conservatives to regain
control of the party under any kind of
shrewd management. Rosing says that

should meet an'd elect Taggart, of Indiana,
chairman, deposing James K. Jones Just
how this will strike the free silverltes on
the Democratic National Committee is
hard to say, but it looks as If a gleam of

CLEVELAND, July 14.-On July 31 Ohio
Democrats who believe In Bryan and the
Issues which he represents, which the
recent convention Ignored, will assemble
In Columbus and make up a state ticket.
Ten men met today In an office building
In this city and decided that a bolt should
be made and a new party should enter
the field of Ohio politics. The attendance
at the conference represented a greater
area In the state than was expected by
those who called the meeting. A formal
statement of principles was submitted to
the conference and adopted. This will be
printed and sent throughout the state to
those who are determined to be faithful
to the Nebraskan. A convention was de
cided on to be held July 31. To this con
vention may come all those who may

AID FOR PEARY.
Steamer Erik Snils North "With San
pllcii. HALIFAX. July 14. The steamer Erik
left North -Sidney this evening on her
voyage to the north. She is to call at
Labrador and then at the various Es-
Kimo stations in Greenland, reaching
Etah, under favorable conditions, in about
three weeks. At the various stations she
will make inquiries as to news of Lieu
tenant Peary and the Windward.
The Erik took 350 tons of coal, and Is
fully provisioned for at least a year. The
members of the Peary Arctic Club, who
went on the steamer are: Dr. F. A. Cook,
surgeon of the expedition: L. C. Stein and
Herbert Berri, both of Brooklyn: C. F.
Wlckoff and L. C. Bennett, of Ithaca, N.
Y., and Alfred W. Church, of Elgin. 111.
Dr. Cook said that 14 American gentle
men -have agreed to contribute $1000 a
year for four years to aid Peary In his
work of Arctic exploration. The Erik car
ries a crew of 16, all hardy Newfound
landers. 3Vew York Harbor Was Tklck.
NEW YORK, July 14. Fog tied up the
harbor today. The excursion steamboats
on their way to Coney Island had to feel
their way through the mist. The pres
ence of the fog gave rise to startling
stories that two excursion boats had gone
down with all on board. When sifted
down, these rumors resolved themselves
into the fact that t;ie small excursion
boat Julia, plying between Canarsle and
Rockaway, had gone ashore In Canarsle
Bay, but was floated again in two hours.
No one was- hurt. Another rumor was
that the excursion steamer General Slo
cum, with several hundred people, aboard,
had gone down off Norton's Point. In
vestigation showed this story arose from
the accident to the Julia, and the further
fact that the General Slocum was detained
down the bay by the fog.

STEYN'S NARROW ESCAPE
ALMOST CAPTURED BY GENERAL
BROADWOOD'S BRIGADE.
Ex-I'rcsldeat of the Orange Free
State Escaped in His Shirt Sleeves
With One Follower Only.
LONDON, July 14. The War Office has
received the following dispatch from Lord
Kitchener, dated at Pretoria:
'Broadwood's Brigade surprised Reltz,
capturing Steyn's brother and others.
Steyn himself escaped In his shirt sleeves,
with one other man only. The so-called
Orange River Government and papers
were capture."
Lord Kitchener also reports that
Scheeper's commando as announced in
the Associated Press dispatches early last
week) burned the public buildings In
Murraysburg, Cape Colony, and some
farmhouses In the vicinity.
According to further advices from Lord
Kitchener, the columns under Feather
stone, and Colonel Dixon have reached
Zeerust, Western Transvaal. They met
with opposition and made some captures.
The British casualties were one officer
killed and three officers and , 24 men
wounded.
"General Broftdwbod," says a dispatch
to the Dally News from Bloemfonteln.
"surprised Reltz due east of LIndley at
dawn last Thursday. He took 29 pris
oners', Including General A. P. Clowne
and General Weasel, Commandant Dwaal,
First Cornet Peit Steyn (President Steyn's
br6ther); Th6mas Brain, Secretary of the
Government; and Roches De VUllers, Sec
retary to th Council. Steyn himself fled
without c6at or boots. General Dewet Is
believed to have been present."
LOrd Kitchener has advised the govern,
ment so the Dally News understands
that It Is possible to withdraw a large
number of infantry regiments from South
Africa, amounting virtually to the greater
part of tfle unmounted army. At the
same time, he requests that he be sup
plied with more mounted men. The gov
ernment la considering this, according 'to
the Dally News, and will probably be
guided by Lord Kitchener's advices.
"It Is also contemplated," says the
same journal, "If the Infantry Is largely
withdrawn, to concentrate the British
troops along the Natal Railway between
Durban and Pietermarltzburg and be
tween Johannesburg and Pretoria, thus
carrying gold and.provlslons for the troops
by a shorter route than the Cape Town
route. A portion of the line from Cape
Town to Pretoria may be abandoned."

FRANCE'S NATIONAL FETE DAY.
Celebration of the Anniversary of
the Fall of the 'Hostile.
PARIS, July 14. In all parts of France
today, the national fete day, the anni
versary of the fall of the Bastile, was
celebrated with much enthusiasm and
without disorder. There were reviews at
all military and naval stations, followed
by Illuminations, fireworks and balls In
the evening. The Parisians participated
with their customary zest. Wreaths were
placed on the Strasburg monument In the
Place de la Concorde by various deputa
tions, although the police removed those
of the Socialists, which were inscribed:
"To the Fatherland's victims." The po
lice also dispersed a delegation of the
League of Patriots who were cheering
for PauL, Deroulede , -as they placed
wreaths with his. name 'on the pedestal.
A pro-Boer demonstration bytudents was
. stopped by the police, ' ,
President Loubet', while driving to the
Longchamps race course to witness the
grand annual review, was cheered. In the
Presidential tribune with, him were the
members 'of the Cabinet and the Ambas
sadors. General Horace, Porter, the United
States Ahibas'sadorat just behind M.
Loubet and in his black frock-coat was
the most- conspicuous figure among 'the
many brilliant uniforms on the stand.
President Loubet left the tribune and
