L N PITTSBURG, Aug. 4.—Within a week €very union man and every union man at heart in the employ of the United States | | Steel Corporation will be asked to join in the strike now being waged by the Amal- gamated Association. We must settie whether unionism is to stand or fall. T.hfjrrx be no more conference with the [ U n!(sfd States Steel Corporation unless the meeting is asked for by the officials of the corporation. The Amalgamated Associa- tion will not ask a peace meeting.” These and several other significan! statements were made to-night by Presi Shaffer of the Amalgamated Asso- ion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers n his return from the fruitless con- | ference with J. Pierpont Morgan and others in New York. It is now a fight to the finish between e great billion dollar steel trust and organized labor. Shaffer says he is ready to employ every peaceable means wiithin the power of man to win a victory. No quarter is to be given, and none will be requested. The entire management of the battle has been placed in the hands of President Shaffer. He has absolute power to call out every man who is connected with the organization and he intends to do it.

The meeting empowered me to issue a call whenever in my judgment I thought it time to act.” “When will that call be issued?” “That depends upon a number of things. It is difficult to say just the exact da that I will be ready to exercise the au thority vested in me.” “Is the order likely to go out to-night? hardly think so.

T. Webb of Golden West Lodge was elected president for the current term, Fred W. Stowell of Templar Lodge vice president, J. F. Nichols of Parker | Loge secretary and H. F. Neubauer of | Yerba Buena Lodge treasurer. The reports presented showed that the committee had a large number of cases to attend to, which included the care of brothers of the order in distress and widows and orphans of deceased brothers, the work being done by delegates from the local lodges, who every Sunday dur- ing a period of six months attend a meet- ing from 10 o'clock in the forenoon till noon to report on the condition of those who are sick and in need of help and of the visitations made during the preceding week. In the carrying out of this work of love and charity there was disbursed from the general fund $88005, and from the friendship fund $4310. There was on hand at the close of the term $1808 70. There were two contests for office, these fer, Secretary Williams, B. I Davis, M. F. Tighe and John Chappelle came to Washington after the announcement in | New York of their failure to reach an | agreement with the United States Steel Corporation officials. They reached this | city late last night and registered at one | of ‘the downtown hotels. Their presence | in the city was known only to a few peo- ple. They departed for Pittsburg this forenoon. While here the committee had two extended interviews with General Secretary Frank Morrison, the principal { officer of the American Federation of La- {bor now in the city, President Gompers being away ‘for a few days' visit to the north. Morrison did not want to discuss the ob- isit. He would not say specifically to at extent the federation would aid thé Amalgamated | Association. He confined himself to the | general statement that the committee had | come to Washington for a conference with ‘\he officials of the federation as to the | | | | | ject of the committee's | | best methods of procedure in carrying on ik Amalgamated Associa- tion, Morrison said, was affiliated with the federation and was entitled to the co- cperation and aid of the greater body in conducting the strike movement to an ef- fective and successful issue. Morrison expressed himself as confident of the ulti- | mate victory of the steelworkers, and felt | certain _that the Federation of Labor | would give them all the aid in its power. He was asked specifically where orders | would be issued for an extension of the | strike in affiliated branches of labor and regarding the matter of financial assist- ance to the steel strikers, but declined to answer the questions. The members of the general council of the Federation of Labor are within reasonable distance of Washington, and if any decisive action 1s | to be taken by the federation in aiding the steel strikers it is probable a meeting of the council will be called for that pur- pose. President Gompers is expected to return to Washington early in the week, probably to-morrow. WILL BE THE FIRST TO GO OUT. | Where the General Strike Order Is to Be Promptly Obeyed. PITTSBURG, Aug. 4—When the general strike order is issued, among the first to go out will be the Amalgamated men at | the Republic Iron Works on the South Side. This mill is a branch of the Na- tional Tube Company, which has plants all over the country. The skilled men at the Republic mill are sald to be well or- ganized. |~ From McKeesport this announcement is made to-night: The Amalgamated Association 1is rapidly gaining strength in McKeesport and it is esti- ated that they added at least 200 new mem- bers to its forces at two meetings held this afternoon. The meeting of National Lodge consisting of employes of the Boston Iron an: Steel Works, was largely attended, and al- though no definite statement was given out in regard to the number of new men taken into the lodge the conservative estimate i placed at 100, while others claim nearly double this rumber were added to the lodge. The mem- bers of the lodge claim they now have the entire Boston mill organized, with the excep- tion of two men, and these latter positively refuse to have anything to do with the or- ganization. Union Lodge, composed of em- ployes of the National rolling mill, at its meeting secured, it is rumored, 100 new mem- bers. The strikers last night were claiming that everything was coming thelr way, and that if a general strike order is issued the National Tube Company will be unable to turn a wheel and that they would have between 8000 and 10,000 men out. The tube workers are organized by the American Federation of La- bor, which organization will readily respond to the call of the Amalgamated Assoclation. The business men of McKeesport are greatly de- pressed by the situation and they fear that if 2 general order is issued from strike head- Quarters their business will be nearly ruined, at least for the time belng, as about 15,000 men would be idle. The report from Wellsville, Ohlo, says: The strikers are in a very restive mood to- night. The arrest of eight of their number and the fact that warrants are in the posses- sion of the police for nine more who are at present in the camps across the river in West Virginia has put them in anything but an amicable frame of mind toward the authorities and the steel company. Four of the strikers are still in jail. Organizer George Evans, Frank Adams, Willlam and Elmer Moore have been released on bail. The Amalgamated lodge is arranging to furnish bail for the others early Monday morning and will have the men for whom warrants are out come over from West Virginia and give themselves up as soon ue bail can be got for them.

For the latter office J. F. Nich- ols was re-elected and his re-election was greeted with loud applause, the loudest applauders being those who were opposed to kim. After the election the officers were installed by Retiring President A. H. Breckwoldt, who was then presented by E. K. Rountree, on behalf of the commit- tee, with a handsome desk in apprecia- tion of his services. ‘Among the many who attended the meeting_were Past Presidents Wilson, Doyle, Watson, Turpin, Holcomb, Voor- hees, Smith_and Remey, several of whom addressed the meeting, after which there was an adjournment to a restaurant, where an excellent dinner, tendered to the outgoing and new officers and prepared under the direction of F. W. Stowell and C. F. Phillips, was partaken of. James A. ‘Wilson, past president, was toastmaster, and a witty one he proved to be. For the good of the order there were responses by President Webh, Past President Breck- woldt, Vice President Stowell, Past Grand Master Watson, Past President F. B. Voorhees, E. C. Stock, A. A. Friedlander, Secretary Nichols, Frank McBeth, E. K Rountree, Past President F. L. Turpin, Past President F. E. Smith and George ‘W.

The deputies were In consultation this evening with P. M. Smith, attorney for the steel company, but the result of the conference was kept secret, both parties refusing to di- vulge anything that took place. It is thought by the strikers that an application will be made to the United States Court in Cleveland for an injunction to restrain them from picKet- ing the approaches to the mill. If the injunc- tion 1s granted they say it will be broken, and this step will bring matters to an immediate issue. To-night mills No. 1, 2 and 4 and 6 are lighted up ready to hegin work at 3 a. m. There is a feeling of unrest among the operative pot- ters of Bast Liverpool and Wellsville, and the owners of the plants are fearful lest they come sympathy with e steel workers.

Va.—The organization of the first military company by a labor organiza- tion was put under way last night by Crescent Lodge of the Amalgamated Association, and to-day 5o popular {s the plan that the members of the labor .unions by the hundred are dis- cussing it favorably and the indications are that a very large percentage of Wheeling's la- bor will soon be under military discipline. The two full companies formed in Crescent Lodge will not be in any way controlled by the State, but will be as independent as are the military companies of secret and religlous organizations. Their officers will be empowered to order ac- tion, but only in the line of self-defense or in the defense of the property of their employers when endangered by mobs. Thelr constitution declares that thelr Interests and that of their emplovers are identical. Only when property is endangered will they act. The Amalgamated Assoclatfon {s ready to close all trust mills on a strike order. Workers in independent mills have pledged 20 per cent of all earnings to the strike fund and Crescent Lodge has resolved to give half if the national board can use it. There are 3000 men in the independent mills, Business is already serfously affected, workmen generally making preparations for a long slege. The general strike order will affect 13,000 men in the Wheeling district. All the trust mills are ‘fully organized except the Riverside and Bellaire and there the men have a partal or- ganization. The following telegrams were received to-night: SCOTTDALE, Pa.—The determination of the Amalgamated Association to call out the or- ganized employes of the United States Steel Corporation_will have no material effect here. Both the Scottdale and Old Meadow plants will start up in full at midnight tonight as usual. As stated already, it will take more than mere sympathy for the Amalgamated Asscciation to induce the men at this place ANROR, i n ) E , Pa.—If the general strike o tssued, it ‘will have but litfle “eftect i the Shenango Valley further than closing the in- dependent blast furnaces, whose product is controlled by the Bessemer Assoclation. It is announced to-day that the biast furnace work- ers will receive an order from their unfon to close the plants to-morrow. If the independ- ent furnace men go out about 1000 men will be affected here, at Sharpsville and West Middle- sex. The National Steel Works in this eity is unorganized and it is not believed the men will_strile. MONESSEN—The Amalgamated Assoclation expects to gain many recruits from the Na- tional Tin Plate mill during the week, and it is more than likely that the full force of men will not report for duty to-morrow. This week will witness a turn In the local situation, which will mean a decisive victory for one side or the other. Manager Percy E. Donner real- izes that a crisis is imminent, which will d cide the conflict, and is concentrating his ef- forts to prevent a break in the ranks of his workmen. S Bt b WILL WRECK ASSOCIATION. Mill Superintendent Speaks of the Amalgamated Workers’ Stand. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 4.—“If Pres- ident Shaffer carries out his intention of ordering a general strike, it will mean the absolute annihilation of the Amalgamated Assoclation and a second Homestead af- fair,” said Superintendent George I. Reis of the Tllinois Steel Company to-night. “As to whether or not a strike will be ordered in our mills, I cannot say.” Reis continued: “The men who are em- ployed by the Illinois Steel Company are working under a contract which has been in force for fourteen years, and I have never known the association to violate a contract. But if the men in our mill ara olr’deted out I have no doubt they will obey. . “It seems to me to be a mistaken policy to throw thousands of men out of work merely on a matter of sentiment, and this is all the present strike amounts to, in my opinion. The course of President Shaf- fer is calculated to wreck his organiza- tion, and I believe he has made a great mistake in adopting his present policy.” ————— FEAR SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.

Tokio University Buildings Torn Down to Lessen Danger. (R T Special Dispatch to The Call. v TACOMA, Aug. 4—The steamship Hy- son brings news that not less than 2,000,000 rats have been killed by the authorities of Oriental cities as a means of preventing the spread of the plague. In most of these cities premiums have been offered to those persons who would bring in the largest number of rat talls within a specified time. At Toklo the rat catchers have received so much per head and large sums have been paid out. Similar operations have been conducted at Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto, Shanghai, Hongkong, Canton, Amoy and Foochow. At Tokio several buildings of the Imperial Japanese Uni- versity were torn down and burned be. cause rats in them were found infected with plague baccili, although the plague has not vet invaded Tokio. The authorities have determined not to relax their precau- tions. With this object they are commen- cing a new crusade against rats, this time by a system of rewards, instead of paying so much per rat. Prizes will be allotted after the total number of rats captured reaches 200,000 Manila advices received via Hongkong state that great damage is threatened to the sugar crop of the Philippine Islands by an invasion of locusts and the dvin off of water buffaloes by thousands of epi- zootics. This disease has played havoc among them all over the islands.

TWO HOSTLERS HAVE A MURDEROUS FIGHT Fmil Muller Arrested on a Charge of Assault to Commit Murder. Emil Muller, a hostler at the St. George stables, 408 Bush street, was arrested yes- terday morning about 9§ o'clock by Police- men Roediger and Heinz and booked at the City Prison on a charge of assault to murder. He Is accused of cutting Charles Dudley, another hostler, five times on the throat, chest, arm and head with a pocket knifé. Dudley was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where his wounds, which are not considered danger- ous, were stitched and dressed. Muller did not deny cutting Dudley, but claimed he did it*in self defense. He sald that Dudley had been drinking and ac- cused him of playing .tricks on him. Muller denied doing so and Dudley grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him to the floor, falling on top of him. Muller had been filling the graln bin and had an open pocket knife in his hand with which he had been cutting the strings on the grain sacks. To defend himself, as_Dudley was “punching” him, he slashed Dudley with the knife. Dudley lifted him to his feet and dragged him down the runway. At the bottom Dudley again got. on_top of Muller and Muller continued _defending himself with the knife until another stableman interfered and took the knife from him. Muller is a small man and Dudley a large, powerful fellow. Muller's right thumb was cut and there was an abrasion on his throat caused by Dudley’s fingers. Muller has been working at the stables for more than a year and is known as a quiet, peaceable man. N BICYCLISTS COLLIDE ON THE OCEAN BEACH DRIVE Bernard M.lgniolni Suffers Serious In- jury—Crowds Enjoy Sunday at Chutes and Baths. Bernard Mignola, a lad of 15 years, who resides at 3 Clarence court, was seriously injured on the ocean beach road yester- day. He was riding a bicycle at rapid speed whenhecollided with another young- ster on a wheel. Mignola was thrown to the ground with such force that he was rendered unconscious. The other boy es- caped injury and went on his way before his name could be ascertained. Mignola was taken to his home. Though seriously injured his recovery is expected. A heavy fog accompanied by a cold breeze resulted in keeping the crowds away from the park and beach vesterday. Large gatherings enjoved the day at Su- tro Baths and the Chutes. The bill at the Chutes is unusually good this week. A number of Orpheum stars are on the bill, which is filled out with other good entertainers. Following are the results of the contests at Sutro Baths: 50-yard dash—O. Schultz first, H. Heinze second: under-water swim- ming—C. McCarthy first, E. O'Neil sec ond: tub race—A. Sunberg first, W.

Special solemn and impressive services in honor of its patron saint were held at St. Dominic’s yesterday. The observance of the feast began with high mass at 11 a. m. Father T. C. Clancy was celebrant, and was assisted by Father Leo Heagen, ‘who officiated as deacon, and by Father J. 8. Welch, sub-deacon. A sermon on the lessons to be learned from the life and works of St. Dominic was delivered by Father J. L. O'Neil. The music arranged for the occasion was beautifully rendered by the choir. In the afternoon the closing ceremonies of the Holy Name Soclety jubilee proces- sion took place. A large number marched to the Cathedral, where prayers were of- fered for a glorious success for the jubi- lee. In the evening the closing services of the feast, which consisted of special mu- sic and a sermon by Father William A. Netterville of Vallejo, were held. —— ~ Progress of Education in Wales, On Friday evening next Miss E. P. Hughes of the universities of Cambridge and of Wales will lecture before the Cym- rodorion Society on ‘“The Development of Education in Wales During the Last Half- Century.” Miss Hughes has given much attention to this subject and the enter- tainment, which will take place in Acad- emy of Sclences Hall, 819 Market street, promises to be very interesting for those who have given any thought to such mat- ters. L e i o e S e e Sl ] to-morrow. O. L. Garrison of St. Louls, chairman of the Illinois Coal Operators’ Association, who is here, is reticent as to the object of the conference. Asked if a sympathetic strike of miners is feared, he said: ‘There’s no telling what mine workers may do. If President Mitchell should call his men out I think he would make a serious mistake. The executive board of the bituminous district, com- prising Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Penn- sylvania will be in session to-morrow and T expect to see the officials and have a talk with them. The conference will turn on_the annual meeting of the operators and miners next January.” It is reported here to-night that Indiana operators are fearful of a sympathetic strike of miners in aid of the steel strike. A prominent operator said to-night: “It is true much uneasiness prevails in the coal flelds of the State on account of a possible sympathetic strike. A meeting of the miners’ executive board to-morrow will be watched with more than usual in- terest. It is known that the anthracite fleld s excited and this feeling has invad- ed the bituminous fields. It is impossible to predict what will occur. believe President Mitchell of the mine workers will not favor a sympathetic strike, but he may be outvoted.” ST. roll second; 100-yard race—H.
