EiND OF STRIKENOT FAROFF
FIREMEN AND UNITED MINEWORK
tl ERS CONFER.
Mlneworkers Will line Their Influ
ence to Have Strikers Re
stored to Old Places
, WILKESBARRE. Pa., July 2L The sta
tionary firemen's strike will soon be at an
lend. rAT meethigof the executive officers
'of 'Ke"tJnItecl Nflneworkers of the three
'anthracite districts, and the chief execu
'tlve officers of the Stationary Firemen's
Association was held In this city today,
forthe purpose of discussing the sltua.
'tlon. The United Mlneworkers have ail
along- been lukewarm in their support of
the ptrlke, and theT firemen insisted that
they define their position, once for all, as
'it was Impossible' to carry' on rtie'strlke If
the,Unlted .Mineworkerk opposed it. -, With
that object In view, tne executive officers
f the United Mlneworkers agreed to come
to this city and meet the strikers.
The United Mlneworkers were represent
ed by 26 officers of th,e three districts. The
'Stationary Firemen's Association was rep
resented by J. F. .Mullahy, president of
the association; Thomas Barrett, .vice
ipresJdenf.; J- A. Gerzity, secretary; Brodus
Langdoh and J. F. Wade. T. D. Nlcholls,
president of district No. 1, opened the dls
'cusslon. He said the strike was Inoppor
tune at tnls time. It was detrimental to
'the miners, who were under agreement
with the operators to remain at work for
one year, and If the United Mlneworkers
remained cur It would mean the sacrifice
of the good will of the coal operators.
President Fahey, of the Ninth District,
also spoke"- against the strike. He said the
strike wa? inopportune, and his men were
opposed to it. President Duffy, of the
Seventh District, said' the firemen In his
district did not go out on strike. This
showed lack of unity, and the strike could
not succeed. Secretary Gerrlty spoke for
"the firemen, and the sacrifices that had
'been made for true union pr.nclples. He
said the strike had been declared by the
unanimous vote of 200 delegates. It was
plain from the discussion that the United
(Mlneworkers were overwhelmingly against
the continuance of the strike. The fire
men realized this, and they submitted the
following questions to the United Mlne
workers First Will you withdraw all men of
your organization from our positions, If
the ;StrlkcJs' declared off?
Second Will you use- your influence to
have all engineers and others reinstated
to fhelr former positions, if the strike Is
declared..pff?
Third Will, ypu aljow ,us. to meet the
"UnJieft,MInewoersj. in joint conference,
and, to present grievances at the same
time?,,,
To.. the .first .two -questions an affirmative
reply was given. To the third, this reply
was. made,:. "Yes, Jf you Join the United
Mlneworkers."
A, resolution was then, adopted calling on
the grievance committee of the Firemen's
Association' to call on- each coal company
tomorrow,-and ascertain If the men who
went on strike Tuesday will be given back
'their places. These committees are to
make a rport to the same joint commit
tees which met here today, and If the re
iplles from the companies are favorable,
then the strike will be officially declared
off .tomorrow night
The- following official statement was is
sued from firemen's headquarters tonight:
"After the officers, of the three districts
of the United Mlneworkers defined the at
titude they, contemplated assuming toward
the firemen, should their strike continue,
we Ihougli; it would be to the interest of
all concerned to bring It to a speedy ter
mination,' and" in consequence thereof we
made propositions to them, which were
adorned, after which we instructed the
firemen to pursue all honorable means to
have their positions returned. Although
the- strike is not yet declared off until
after the answers are received from their
employers', It seems to be the prevailing
opinion that should they be favorable, the
action of the delegates Monday evening
win end the strike. But should any one
now out of employment on account of the
strike be dlscr.mlnated against, the end
would be as far off as ever, and the fire
men are determined to stand by those who
sacrificed their positions before they
would take our places. All of the firemen
who are still at work shall remain until
after this convention.

TUBE-MILL WORKERS ORGANIZE.
Shaffer Says Thing Are Much Bet
ter Than He Had Expected.
PITTSBURG. July 21. The important
event In the strike history of the day Is
the organization of the tube-mill workers
at McKeesport The word from there to
night is that, after long and arduous work,
Assistant Secretary Tlghe, of the Amal
gamated Association, succeeded in organ
izing 125 men of the National Tube Works
Company. At the meeting, 25 pkllled men
from each of the departments were In
itiated Into the mysteries 6f the Amal
gamated Association, and Mr. Tlghe says
that within 48 hours enough more work
men wlHiftJe'eecured to keep the entire
plant 'closed down, affecting 9000 men.
From Wellsvllle nothing has been re
ceived here, except word that the sltua.
tlon is unchanged, and the strikers say
everything 16 satisfactory to them. It is
believed, however, that an attempt will
be made tomorrow to put men to work
there from other points, the 10 men from
Vandergrlft, who are said to be at East
Liverpool ready to go In early lh the day,
being the principal men relied upon for
the purpose. While the strikers say they
will not commit any overt act, there is
an uneasy feeling manifest throughout
the entire valley, and no one Is willing
to anticipate the result of the proposed
attempt to put these men to work.
When seen tonight. President Shaffer
expressed himself as being more than sat
isfied with the week's results. "He said:
"Things are very much better than I
thought they would be. More mills are
shut down than we anticipated or could
'expect There is more determination upon
the part of the men than was anticipated.
There has been more inclination to aid
us morally and financially on the part
of other labor organizations, and vastly
more support from the general public
than we were looking for.
"Last night I received a telegram from
.one of our men at Duncansvllle, saying:
'DuncansvilleJs out' At any time within
the year we could have formed a compact
organization pf the mill there. They have
sent us dozens of letters and a number
of telegrams declaring their anxiety to
join our cause.
"We have lost no ground in the mills
thrown Idle In Pittsburg. Our organizers
at Wellsvllle report that after the advent
of a solitary worker there from Vander
grlft to go Into the mills Saturday, rep
resentatives of the operative potters
scoured Wellsvllle and East Liverpool to
find other men on a similar mission, and
found not ope. I can still repeat what I
said before inregard to nonunion men
taking ou$l&ccsf 'If the United States
Steel Corporation officials can get non.
union men, Twill help lead the men into
the mills. " ;
Mr. Shaffer would say nothing of the
plans of his association during the com
ing week, further than to reiterate his
'former statements that his programme
was perfected, and would be Carried out
to the letter. He and his people have
"been preparing foF this conflict for two
years, and are prepared to carry on the
fight for an almost Indefinite period.
The 22-lnch mill at the Boston Iron &
Steel plant of the National Tube Company
at McKeesport will resume operations in
the morning, after a shut-down lasting
three weeks. The plant was closed for
repairs.
TAILORS WALK OCT.
Thlrtr Thousand Men Dei
in
Shorter Homri.
NEW YORK. July 2L The tailors In the
sweatshops all over the East Side were
called out on strike today, In accordance
with the decision of Garment Workers'
Trades council. The 'strike committee,
which consisted of 300 men, selected from
the various unions affected by the strike,
started out at 6 A. M. and formed Itself
Into groups, each group assigning Itself to
a separate section of the East Side. It
was estimated that 30,000 workers quit
work todny, and that tomorrow 20.000 more
would refuse to work. This estimate in
cludes the Brooklyn and Newark. N. J.,
shops. A meeting of Garment Workers'
Trades Council was held In the after
noon, and it was said the demand for the
abolition of the contractors or middle-meh
would not be enforced until next year.
The demand of the present strike Is for a
shorter workday.
STRIKERS PICKETED TOWN.
It Had Been Rumored That Work
men Were to Be Imported.
PITTSBURG, July 22. 3 A. M. A report
hap just reached here that the strikers at
McKeesport, because of persistent rumors
that workmen were to be Imported, gath
ered, to the number of 200 or 300, and
picketed the town, holdirig up every one
coming along, and making him give an
account of himself. No one was roughly
treated, but the police force was called
out and dispersed the men at 2:45 o'clock.
About this time the railroad company be
gan shifting freight cars across the river.
The strikers again gathered, thinking the
cars contained nonunion men, and made
a dash for the cars. What may develop
later cannot be predicted at this hour.
Probable Prison Order Rushed It.
CHICAGO, July 21. Because Joseph
O'Donnell expects to be sent to Jail to
morrow he was elected one of the officers
of the Chicago Federation of Labor to
day. In electing O'Donnell one of three
members of the Metal Workers' Union,
who are to be ImprVoned for contempt of
court, the Federation makes Its protesrj
against conditions that made the impris
onment of the three men possible. "This
action on the part of the Federation Is In
tended as a reply to the decls'ons that
havo been handed down by certain
Judges," said President Bowman. "We
want to show them that tfhey cannot in
timidate us, and we intend to picket build
ings and shops despite their decls ons."
LOHDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
Weelc Opened Gloomy, but Ended
With a Decidedly Cheerful Tone.
LONDON, July 21. The Stock Exchange,
after beginning the week that has Just
passed with about the worst possible pros
pects, ended It with a decidedly more
cheerful tone. Among the numerous de
pressing influences which marked the
earlier part of the week were the ad
verse reports from Pekln. the drouth, the
steel strike in the United State3, and the
seemingly Ineffective administration of
the South African War. The capture of
tho Reltz-Steyn correspondence had a
more exhilarating effect upon London
traders than the facts seemed to war
rant, having In view the circumstance
that the captured letters contained such
ancient history, and the further circum
stance that so little In the way of real
advance has been made since May 1.
However. Kaffirs had been wanting a
tangible excuse to advance for some time,
and the capture of the correspondence
answered the purpose. There is general
feeling that the war cannot possibly con
tinue much longer, and, therefore, who
ever wishes to profit by the advance which
will follow at the conclusion of the war
must secure Africans early.
The general situation was helped by the
confidence displayed In New York, In spite
of the steel strike, and by the announce
ment of the adjustment of the Northern
Pacific dispute.
London, as has been usual recently, fol
lowed New York's lead In the American
section. On the other hand, home rails
realized about the worsfpossible prophe
cies as to the half-year dividend, and the
showing of other Industrials was either
stagnant or only slightly higher, with the
exception of Bryant and May shares,
which fell off 13 points, as a result of
what Is regarded as the surrender of the
directors to the Americans.
Consols recovered two points from the
extreme decline. The Bank of England's
reserve Is now nearly 25,000.000, and Is
Increasing. Money Is decidedly lower.
ON THE BERLIN BOURSE.
Marked Improvement Without Anything-
Industrially to Warrant It.
BERLIN. July 21. Last week's Bourse
showed a marked Improvement. The re
cover!', however, was a purely specula
tive maneuver, nothing having occurred
Industrially to warrant the rise, and bona,
fide Investors are still holding aloof, ex
cept In government funds. Moreover, the
volume of business was slight and the
rises and falls were out of all propor
tion to the business done. This recovery
seems to have been due to a conviction
that shares had gone much below their
intrinsic value, owing to the mad rush
of the public to sell after the failure of
the Lelpzlger Bank and other failures.
Professionals, therefore, are buying In ex
pectation of a rise. While several indus
trial companies published during the week
rather reassuring reports, the general ten
dency continues unfavorable. The week
brought reports from the Westphallan
coal district of diminishing employment,
tho discharging of laborers and the reduc
tion of wages. The Hasper Iron Com
pany, which paid 30 per cent last year,
announces that It will probably pay no
dividend, owing to the heavy write-off on
accumulated stocks. Coal shares gained
from two to six points consolidation, ris
ing 12 points. Iron shares rose about
four points, Schalker showing an Increase
of 14, and Schuckert electrical an In
crease of 2L Bank stocks were strong,
Dlsconto-Kesellschaft gaining three and
one-half, Deutsche Bank four, and Dres.
dener Bank five and. one-quarter. The
difficulties of the Rhelnlsche Bank have
been overcome through the raising of a
guarantee fund by the leading Berlin
banks. In domestic government funds,
tho professionals realized while the pub
lic bought Quotations were generally
slightly better. Interest In American rail
way stocks was slight. Such interest as
occurred was wholly due to New York.
"Transactions on American rails," says
the Frankfurter Zeltung, "grows less and
less. Even the boldest speculators no
longer have the courage to make en
gagements In these securities."
The money market was easier, the pri
vate rate of discount rlBlng 2& per cent
Wednesday, and remaining there. Call
loans were offered at 2 per cent. For
eign exchange was firm, and especially
Paris and London. Altoona will raise a
loan of 12,000,000 marks, the Government
of Wurtembourg a loan of 14,000,000 marks.
The Lahmeyer Electrical Company, of
Frankfort, will double its capital of 20,
000,000 marks.
130,000 Massachusetts Fire.
TAUNTON. Mass., July 21. Fire to

$150,000. Among those damaged are Hack's:

LEAGUERSCQNCLlMWORk
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION
BROUGHT TO A CLOSE.
is
President Joyce Tendered an Im
promptu Reception Strong: Antl
Cantfccn Resolution.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 2l.-The re
ligious enthusiasm aroused by the- Inter
national Convention of the Erworth
League reached its culmination at tn
grand meeting held this afternoon at
Mechanics' Pavilion. About 10,000 persons
were In attendance, and not a seat was
vacated until the conclusion of the sermon
preached by Bishop Joyce, president of.
the league. His theme was "Faith In
Christ." and no address more eloquent
nor more fervent has been heard since
the assembling of the convention. At its
conclusion the. bishop was tendered an
Impromptu reception, not being allowed to
leave the platform until nearly all the
members o.f the great congregation had
grasped his hand. The Influence of the
league was not alone felt In the central
meeting. All over the city, In churches of
many denominations, services were held,
and in every place the local pulpit was
occupied by a visiting divine. At Grace
Episcopal Church, where Rev. J. M. Buck
ley, Of New York, preaohed, It was im
possible to gain admittance long before
the time announced for the opening of
the doors, and In none of the churches
was there a vacant pew. Old-fashioned
love feasts were held In the early morn
ing In more than a dozen places. Includ
ing the Japanese and Chinese missions.
At 11 o'clock came the regular services
of the day. which were characterized by
exceptional fervor. In tne afternoon an
enthusiastic children's meeting was held
In the Alhambra Theater. Rev. M. E.
Ketchem, of Xenla, O., acted as chair
man, and Rev. 6. T. Bartlett, of Napansc,
Ont, led In prayer. The first address was
made by Miss H. H. Bason, of Washing
ton, D. C, who spoke on "Character
Building." She said:
Character-Build Ins?.
"Anyone who contemplates erecting a
tine building first employs an architect to
draw a plan, showing each part of the
structure. There Is a structure which
everybody is building, young and old. It
Is called character, and every act of life
Is a stone. A good character is above
rubles, gold, crowns or kingdoms, and the
work of making It Is the noblpft task on
earth. In this building we should be care
ful to have the plan perfect. Christ in
his life laid the plan for us In his deal
ings with man returning good for evil.
After the plan of the building has been
carefully studied and approved, the foun
dation is then laid, stone upon stone, and
tested until the builder is fully assured
that It Is sufficient to support the build
ing. In the building now under construc
tion we must put the best materials.
The materials are these: Courage, cheer
fulness, kindness, truthfulness. Courage
Is neceseary( If you would succeed. Cheer
fulness stands over other social traits. It
Is sweet In Infancy, lovely in youth, and
saintly In old age. What the sun Is to
Nature, Christ to the burdened soul, so a
cheerful person Is to the home. Kind
ness should be added to cheerful
ness In character-building. Kfnd
ness Is an attribute which the smallest
child can possess. The world needs kind
ness, especially the aged, who, after a life
well spent, find themselves surrounded by
strangers, the friends of their youth hav
ing all departed. Our building would not
be completed and adorned unlofs It con
tains the stone we call truthfulness.
Truth costs nothing, but It brings a large
profit the love of your associates, the
confidence of your friends, and the re
spect of your enemies. No life Is what it
should be unless It has this great princi
ple so -deeply grounded that, whether at
work or play, with friend or foe, truth
or silence Is your motto."
Addresses were also delivered by Rev.'J.
W. Churchill, of Coldwater, Ont, and'C.
O. Jones, of Bristol, Va. After a song
service at the Metropolitan Temple In the
afternoon, a sermon was preached by Rev.
E. E. Hoss, of Nashville, Tenn. A large
ly attended rally of' German-Americans
was held at the Howard-Street Methodist
Church, H. A. Schroetter, of Covington,
Ky., acting as chairman. H. A. Salzer, of
La Crosse, Wis., and Rev. E. S. Harlg
hoorst, of Mount Pleasant, la., delivered
short addresses.
Cloning Sleeting.
The closing meetings of the convention
were held tonight In Mechanics' Pa
vilion, the Alhambra Theater, the Met
ropolitan Temple and the First United
Presbyterian Church. In the latter place
Rev. J. L. Batty, of Halifax, N. S., spoke
3b follows:
"The end of the feast draws nigh. We
have been sumptuously fed. We rise from
the banquet with more strength than we
brought to It We go now to meet and
mingle with those of our fellows who have
not shared our privileges. Our future
accountability, our present responsibility
will be that much greater than theirs.
Do you find the unwavering conviction
In your soul that the Epworth League is
a God-ordalned Institution? If so. Its per
fection and completeness Is a God-conceived
fact. Mighty Inspiration In that!
Somewhere In the Eternal Mind the fin
ished tabernacle exists, every pole and
ring, each color and curtain are in their
place. The revelation can be had for the
asking. But It Is on the mountain top, and
that means climbing. No vision without
first the ascent by prayer and faith. If
the dust gathers where the knees should
be pressed, the vision of God's Ideal league
will fade. Then tabernacle-building means,
activity. Our pattern revealed an hith
erto unknown realm not simply by writ
ing an essay or giving advice, but it
was 'tell John what things ye have seen
and heard; how that the lame walk, the
lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the
dead are raised, to the poor the gospel Is
preached.' The 20th century league mean?
consecrated work. Satan selects his dlscl
pleB when they are Idle. Christ found
Mb either fl$hlng or mending nets. Now
let us drop the metaphor of a movable
tabernacle, both In speech and In reality.
The Epworth League has come to stay,
and our future duty is to see that It be
comes the permanent 'Gate Beautiful,' an
entrance for the brave and fair youth of
our homes into the temple of our churc::
responsibilities. But let the youth of our
church never forget that th re are still
lying on the outside of the gate the crip
ples from sin and Worldllness and that
It is their glorious privilege to take with
them the healing power of a Splrlt-fllled
life."
At the evening session the report of the
committee on resolutions was read and
adopted, viva voce. After expressing
thanks to all who had aided to make
the convention a success, the resolutions
continue:
Resolutions.
"Missions
"First We rejoice in the deepening in
terest among our members in the great
cause of Christian missions, and congrat
ulate our organizations here represented
upon the educational work which has al
ready been accomplished. We are greatly
delighted by the comprehensive and prac
tical plans which have been devised by
our leaders for a great campaign In be
half of missions and other benevolence
during the coming year. We urge all pur
chapters to Increased study of missionary
literature, and to fervent prayer for the
coming of the kingdom.
"Second We approve, without reserva
tion, the plans for Epworth League ex
tension, which provide for the systematic
training of our young people In Christian
work. The importance of the study of
such great topics as the English Bible,
Christian stewardship and personal evan
gelism, cannot be overestimated.
"Temperance
"First That we are unalterably, as
ever, opposed to the open saloon and the
liquor., traffic; and we mean to keep up
ur war upon thh wlcHtd bU3'ne5 un'il
our continent 1b fried frm the dreadfu
curse.
"Second That wc greatly rejoice at the
abolition of the canteen In our Army, and
deplore the fact that a persistent effort
Is being made to have it restored. Sp2
claiiy is this distressing to us when we
note that Russia Is protesting against the
canteen, and that even France has pro
hibited It In its army camps. We earn
estly hope that wiser counsels will pre
vail in free. Christian America, and to
this end we will ever pray and fight
"Colored Epworth Leaguers
"We have learned that representatives
of the various Christian Young People's
Societies among the colored churches Of
the country plan to hold a gathering in
the Summer of &02. looking to the better
development of their young people in
Christian work, and we desire to express
our approval of the movement, and heart
ily recommend it to th colored young
people of the Epworth League.
"Junior Work
"We are much encouraged with the
growth of our Junior Epworth Leagie,
and, believing this school for the train- I
ing of our youngest soldiers for cnrist
is accomplishing great good, unhesltat-
tngly urge all our pastors and Christian
workers to organize our boys and girls
Into Junior chapters wherever possible.
"Supremo Purpose
"While we do not underestimate the
vital relation to our organization of its
literary, social and benevolent depart-
-ments, we desire to emphasize once again
the supreme purpose of our existence,
i. e.. the development of the highest type
of spiritual experience and life In the
young members; of our churches, and the
salvation of thp'multltudes of young men
and women of our communities who are
H still far from God."
Many leaguers will leave the city on side
trips to the Yosemlte and other point
in various parts of the state. Of these,
a certain percentage will return to the
city, but the greater part will Journey
'eastward to their homes after the com
pletion of their outings In the Interior.
Several hundred will leave the city to
morrow night, In advance of the main
army of the leaguers, which will leave at
Intervals during the week.
Bishop Joyce Reviews Meeting.
Bishop Isaac W. Joyce, president of the
Epworth League, reviewed the fifth In
ternational convention as It closed today,
&b follows:
"I have only good tidings to say of the
Epworth League International convention.
It has been In every way a success. Many
of those who have been at the preceding
ones think this one of the best ever held.
The attendance has been a delightful sur
prise to all. All discussions of subjects
have been of the highest order. A de
lightful and brotherly spirit pervaded the
convention from the first hour to the
last moment. We shall always carry with
us delightful memories of this great con
vention, and of San Francisco. I do not
see how any people could have done more
for us, for our comfort and happiness,
and for the success of the convention
than the people of. San Francisco have
done. The dally papers and the ratlroads
and the steamer llne$ have also con
tributed their share, to the astonishing
success of our convention."
Rev Joseph F. Berry, general secretary,
said:
"The Epworth League convention has
been the most remarkable In the history
of the organization. The attendance has
been enormous. The speeches have been
unusually able, and the spirit of the meet
ings and the closing scenes have never
been approached by any religious meet
ings I have ever attended.'"
Ho Yott Scn'ds Letter to LenBuers.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21. Ghlnefe
Consul-General Ho Yow today addressed
to the Epworth League convention a type
written statement of five pages, answer
ing arguments of the Labor Council, fa
voring Chinese exclusion.
"We think," says Ho Yow, "by rais
ing the bar against the Chinese, and per
mitting, them to 'come into this country,
commerce, as, well as labor will be greatly
"benefited thereby."
Five arguments of the Labor Council
relative to wages and vice and other
topics are all responded to In detail.
"Bv placing a wall between China and
the United States," says Ho Yow, "the
trade of the two countries must necessa
rily suffer. The demand In China for
vour products will In time be equivalent
to about one-half of your total export
trade to the world."
The statement closes with reminding
the Leaguers of the Golden Rule.

Only Black Sailors to Be Employed.
SYDNEY, N. S. W., July 21. The Orient
Steam NavIJrat'on Company has decided
to man Its steamers with lascars, which
means that the mall lines between Aus
tralia and Great Britain will be manned
by black crews only. The labor organiza
tions have started an agitation In favor
of Inserting a clause In the pending postal
bill that only white persons should be em
ployed on mall steamers. The Australian
manager of the company says It Is neces
sary to employ lascars because British
seamen are "drunken, refractory and un
reliable." ..I

Medieval Trusts.

The combinations which in their magni
tude and methods most nearly resemble
the trusts ot the present day were corners
in foreign trade or in domestic commodi
ties like the metals, which had a limited
area of production. They were made pos
sible by two facts then new In business
life; capital had accumulated so that a
few persons were enabled to undertake
large enterprises, and the habit of faith
ful co-operation had reached a certain
rough perfection without which it would
have been Impossible for even a few
men to act concertedly. In the foreign
trade particularly, great wealth was neces
sary, not only for making large pur
chases, but aJ,so to defray traveling ex
penses and provide depots en route. As
early as the first half of the fifteenth
century merchants sometimes purchased
particularly at Venice quantities of Ori
ental wares, spices, silks, gold brocade,
ginger, cinnamon, pepper, etc., and, after
consulting the chief merchants of the
empire, fixed a price for each commodity.
This method was later applied also to
domestic communities, such as hardware,
leather, tallow, and many agriculture
products. Tradesmen who refused to enter
into this arrangement were crushed out
by a sudden lowering of prices. When
competition had been stifled prices rose

The next course Is walrus meat. This Is
