A MOVE OF IRON WORKERS:
Asked Workmen to 'Sign Contract Re-1
pudiali ng Unions.
Pittsburg, July 27. The National
Tube VVorss company at McKeesport
has made an unxepected move intended :
to checkmate the Amalagmated asso- :
ciaoon. Their skilled workmen hivej
been asked to sign individual contracts!
to practically repudiate any labor!
union, aud they have been given but a
short time to think it over. It is un- I
derstood that should they not sign j
these contracts they will find their'
positions vacant.
It transpired that late Thursday j
evening botj welders uf the mills were i
paid otf and takeu o:f into the ollice of j
the general superintendent, where '
they were presented with individual j
contrac.s, to be sigued for at least
one year. Some demurred, whwe
others signed the contracts.
This movement oi fighting fire with
tire carried consternation into the
ranks of the strikers. The welders are
highly skilled workmen, and with
their co-operation the big plant could
be closed down. With tneai in line
the plant will probably keep on run
ning as if nothing bal hat pened. It
was intimated tonight by the friends
of trie welders that they would ali sign
the contracts.

I The precept was made public this
1 afternoon. It orders the court to in

1 Senley's acts during the entire cam
ipaign; particularly, the reasons con-
trolling and the propriety of the move-
inent of the squadron from Cienfuegos
to Santiago; the reasons for its depar
ture from oil Santiago; the circum

his disobedience of the orders of the
department on Mav 25, 1SUS; the
i necessity, if any, for returning to Key

M anager, Billy Madden, anil "IVnver
Ed" Martin. The famous trioofpugu
listic celebrities will remain in town at

Madden has arranged a wrestling Unit
between Kuhlin and Joe Acton, wrest

athletic club, to take dace within
three weeks. He has also arranged a
match between Martin and Fred Mus
sel, in Seattle, to take place early in

since glove contest have lieen talnmed
by the authorities of New York, all
the big lights oi the pugilistic arena
have taken up wrestling, aud are prov
ing wonderfully apt at the game. Two
weeks ago, Kuhlin defeated Fitisitn
inoiis at Madison Square Garden in
two straight falls, after a clever exhi
bition. Kuhlin is oprn to all, either
for wrestling or boxing, ami his main
purpose in coming to the coast was to
arrange for a fight with Jeffries, who
ever since he fought a draw with Kuh
lin two years ago has consistently
avoidiil him, the latter savs.
Madden declares that he met Jeffries
in St. I-ouis early in March and agreed
utMin a tight, all details lieing arrang
ed sae the date. The referee was even
agreed upon. Since then. Madden has
been unable to get any satisfaction out
of Jeflries. Yesterday Madden and
Kuhlin called at jtl.e ollice of the As
sociated Press here and dictated a state
ment that Kuhlin, ti secure a match
with Jeffries, woull goto Mexico and
tight with skin gloves or bare knuckles
for $1000 a side.
