W., WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.— “If the trust continues to.oppose the organization of wage-earners the American Federation of La- bor will use every effort to prevent injury to the interests of any member of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. Any industrial disturb- ance that may occur will be because of the antagonism of the trust to universally concede rights of wage-earners to organize for their protection #and to secure im- | proved conditions.” | _This statement was made to-day by Frank Morrison, secretary of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, in reply to a question as to whether it was probable that a sympathetic strike would be or- dered by the federation. Morrison would not make any direct statement as to the probability of a sympathetic strike beng ordered, saving that the Federation of Labor would take up questions as they arose and deal with them in a business- like manner. If any such action is taken by the fed- | of the general council of.the association. | President Gompers is now absent from | Washington, but !s expected to return in a few days. If he thinks the situation Is such as to call for any action by the ted- | eration it is probable that he will call a | meeting of the general council soon atter | his return. { - | HYDE PARK MILL STARTS. | Trust Officials Are Importing Men to Carry on Work. PITTSBURG, Aug. 5.—The strike his- | tory of the day in Pittsburg itself is not | prolific of results. Considerable, however, was doing in towns surrounding. 7 all of the idle mills are in the same !condlllun as before the failure of the con- | ference to settle the strike and no appar- | ent move is being made by the manufac- llur(-rs to start the mills, consequently there has been no break in the strikers’ | ranks. The most important strike - points to- night seems to be Leechburg and Wells- ville, with McKeesport a possible trouble center. From Leechburg this telegram was received: At 4 o'clock this afternoon tne Hyde Park mill, which has been ife since the first of this'year, was started. At 3:45 p. m. a train arrived at Hyde Park from Saltsburg, Vander- | €rift and Apollo. The train stopped at the | works and fft ven men, clad in working garb and carrying dinner buckets, | train and hurried into the works. | Bo excitement, and the mill owners and man- agers to-night claim that they now have | enough men in the mills to operate all of the five-plant mill. Sentinels are out, and no one | is allowed to get into the mill without a pass- | Word. Late this afternoon six millmen from | Leechburg sauntered down toward the mill passed the guards and walked into the milis, where to-night they are at work. This makes sixty-one men now employed at_the works. The mill is running to-night. ; The Amalga- mated men, however, are on the ground, mak- ing despes efforts to keep all union men They make the bold assertion that in two days after President Shaffer issues his general strike order not a wheel will be turning in Vandersrift, Apollo or Hyde Park. From Wellsville, Ohio, the following re- | port is made: | left the There was The last four of the striking steel workers who were arrested Saturday, charged with riot, were released from jail late this afterncon up- on ball. There are warrants yet in the hands of the police for seventeen more of the strik- ers. The officers, for some reason, seem to be | afraid to serve the warrants. Henry B. Henderson, a potter for whom the police have | & warrant, has been trying to get himself in the way of the officers all day to have them arrest him, but they reason that Henderson is backed by the Na- tional Brotherhood of Operative Potters, and the officers fear the vengeance of the potters, once they are aroused, as they would be if one of thelr number were put under arrest. Sec- retary Duffy of the potters, when seen to-day, denied that the brotherhood had any intention of calling its members out in sympathy with the steel workers, though he said the brother- hood would extend them both financial and | moral aid. Four new men were brought into the mill from Scottdale to-day, and four of the strik- | ers deserted the union and went back to work. | Five mills were working to-day, and four are | working to-night, the largest number run any day since the strike began. | "Vice President John Chappelle of New- | castle was here to-day between trains and said that all the steel mills belonging to the United States Steel Corporation would be called out this week. Further than that he refused to | talk. . | The condition at McKeesport at 10 p. m. | is reported as feverish. Many strikers are | on the streets around the National Tube | Works. The men announce they are only waiting for orders from headquarters be- | fore going out. Organizer Flynn of the | Federation of Labor was here to-day looking over the situation and conferring with the local leaders.

Farley, ex-Deputy | Bheriff, « brother of the murdered Sheriff, H. G. Farley, on the Rev. P. Petersen, a | Baptist minister of Gonzaies. | “According to the clergyman, last Friday | afternoon Mrs. Farley, his assailant’s | mother, who teaches the minister’s nine- year-old daughter music, was at the Pe- tersen house. A discussion arose over | music, religion and dancing, during which, | it is alleged, Mrs. Farley took exception to some religious doctrines. says he objected to Mrs. Farley's state- ments in the presence of his child, and she soon left the house. | Two hours after Mrs. Farley departed | her son went to the back door of the min- | ister's_residence and knocked. Petersen opened the door, when Farley asked him | to come out and explain an alleged insult {to his mother and apologize. The minis- | ter refused to go out, but invited his vis- |itor in. Farley accepted and had hardly | passed the threshold when he struck Pe- tersen on the head, felling him. As the | clergyman attempted to rise he was re- | peatedly felled and kicked until his face | was covered with blood. | "Mrs. Petersen, hearing the noise, ran | into the room with her three-months-old infant in her arms. Seeing her husband | being assaulted, and fearful that he | might be killed, 'she ran between the men. | Turning toward her husband, she saw his | bloody and bruised face, head and neck, The shock was o great that shescreamed and fell in a faint, with the baby clinging | to her. This incident stopped further as- | sault. Tpon being placed in bed Mrs. Peter- sen became hysterical, and began scream- ing, “Help for my husband, who is being murdered by Farley.” This alarmed the jatter, who hastily ieft. He went for a doctor and sent him to the Petersen house. It is sald that he then left the town. ¢ Reports received later to-night are to the effect that Petersen is badly bruised about the head, his eyes are black and blue and closed and his face is badly cut. He is a small man and bears an excellent reputation. Mrs. Petersen is reported very low from extreme nervous prostra- tion from which she has suffered since the assault, and the attending physicians say she may not recover. When the news reached Salinas much excitement prevailed, and many expres- gions of retallation and reprisal were made, It is expected that when the min- ister and his wife are able to be out a charge of assault to do ly barm will be lodged against Farley. eration it will be as a result of a meeting | In this | will not do it for the | The minister | to Compel' the Recognition of Unions are to the effect that the mine workers will refuse to furnish coal for the trust coke furnaces or mills.

Just a Faint Hope That the Difficulty Will Be Adjusted. PITTSBURG, Aug. 5—Just a faint glimmer of hope that the great steel workers’ strike would be settled was em- bodied in a statement given out by Pres- ident Shaffer of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation to-night. When asked if he would ipursue the same policy in ordering a strike in the mills of the Federal Steel, the National Steel and the National Tube Companies as he did in calling out the men in the mills of the American Tin ; Plate ComEany he replied: *If it had not been for this determination on my part, | the general strike would have.been or- | dered on Saturday night.” Before calling out the tin workers, and after failing to get any satisfaction from the officials of the American Sheet Tin Company and the American Steel Hoop Company, President Shaffer sent a tele- gram to Vice President Warner Arms of the American Tin Plate Company, notify- ing him that under article 19, section 35, of the constitution of the Amalgamated Association, he would be obliged to call out the tin workers in all of the mills owned by the United States Steel Corpor- |ation wunless the difficulty was settled within a period of ten days. As a resuit of this notice Arms succeeded in getting together another conference, and a vain attempt was made to settle the dispute and prevent a strike which would involve the tin mills, That conference was the one that broke up in_the Hotel Lincoln three weeks ago last Saturday. In order to be equally fair to the other constituent companies of the United States Steel Corporation and accord them the same treatment President Shaffer has | sent a similar notice to the officers of the | Federal Steel Company, the National | Steel Company and the National Tube Company, glving them the same time in | which to make any effort they may desire | to bring about a settlement, or he will | put in force this same clause in the Amal- gamated constitution. It is presumed that the delay in issuing the general order will be at least until the end of the pres- |ent week. In the meantime the men in the mills of these three companies will be prepared to come out when the strike order is issued. The possibility of a settlement of the | strike is based on the bare hope that the officlals of the three additional companies will bring to bear suflicient influence to urge an adjustment of the difficulty before | the strike order is issued. President Shaf- | fer did not express any hope that this would be done, nor did he even discuss the matter, but the inference was quickly seen that there was such a probability in | sight. It is a faint one, though, and but little interest was taken in it in the gen- eral offices of the assoclation to-day. Regarding the publication of charges that the Amalgamated Assoclation would be violating contracts with the constituent companies of the trust, with which they had signed scales for the present year, President Shaffer said that all contracts and scales are signed at all times sub- ject to the provisions of the constitution of the Amalgamated Association. This constitution was in the hands of all the officials of all the companies affected or likely to be affected and they are fully aware of the provisions that it contains | for this very difficulty. e STEEL STRIKE CAUSES PRICES TO ADVANCE Considerable Difficulty Being Expe- rienced in Getting Goods for Quick Export Delivery. NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—It was said to- day by iron and steel merchants here that there was no great change in the trade on account of the steel strike. The prices were somewhat higher and it was becom- | delivery. They are now accepting foreign orders subject to such delays as the strike may cause. marked falling off in exports, but a de- crease in the volume of foreign business is expected to show itself soon. Some tin- plate was coming to the United States from Wales, it was said, but this was not due to the strike, nor would a long strike in this country Tresult in large importa- | tions from England, because there is sup- posed to be no more than enough in Wales to supply the English market. foofoeferioeolonfortocfooforfofofoforfeforferfrlosferintecforfufeted @ DEER HUNTERS AL GOMMAE Boy’s Friends Mistake Him for Animal in the Woods.

RN R Government Sends Ten Thousand Troops Against the Invaders From the Frontier of Colombia. Qi git. Special Dispatch to The Call. CURACAO, Venezuela, Aug. 5.—A for- midable insurrection, if we are to believe the Government itself, has broken out against the dictatorship of General Cas- | tro. The movement, which was inaugu- ratzd on the trontier cf Tachira on the night of July 25, is healed by Dr. Rangel Garkiras, who was president of Congress when Dr. Rojas Paul was President of the Republic, then Venezuelan Minister to Spain and later President of the State of Los Andes. Dr. Garhiras is a physician, weli known and bighly respected. He has been mak- ing preparations for this insurrection for more than three months on the frontier of Colombia, and on the night of July 25 5000 men eccupled a position between San An- tonio and Urena, towns on the frontier of Colombia. His men are all well armed. At the news of this new insurrection, which had been foreseen owing to Presi- dent Castro's arbitrary manner of gov- erningy the whole country is rejoicing, and, if fa‘th is to be placed in commercial reports, is on the point of rising. Revival of Nationalism. The Government has sent 10,000 troops against General Garbiras, who is invoking the name of *“El Mocho,” the famous Gen- eral Hernandez—that is to say, this insur- rection is a revival of nationalism. The Government is trying to make the | public believe that the movement is an | invasion of Venezuela by Colombia. This is not the case, but if it were it would be regarded by the people as a just recom- pense of General Castro’s hostile policy especially when it is remembered that only a few weeks ago General Uribe-Uribe, chief of the Colom- bian revolution, was transported from Curacao to Maracaibo on the Venezuelan warship Zumbador. This fact alone will throw a deal of light on the condition of aftairs. Castro’s False Proclamation. Official announcement of the revolution is made by General Castro in a proclama- tion issued on July 26, in which he says: “The sacred territory of the fatherland has been invaded by an army of Colom- bians commanded by a traitor, Carlos Rangel Garbiras, and they have entered by Urena and San Antonio. In announc- ing this uprising, which affects the honor | and peace of the republic. I fulfill my duty as the man primarily responsible for the fate of Venezuela, and inform you that all necessary measures have been already taken to repel this grave attempt. In order, therefore, to facilitate the exercise of my discretional authority as command- er in chief of the Venezuelan army, and at the same time to enable me to fulfill my duties as President of the republic, the national executive has made use of the power conferred on it by the national constitution and has suspended those per- sonal guarantees the exercise of which may be incompzatible with the defense of public order. s An Appeal to Compatriots. “At the same time I have ordered 10,000 troops of the Army of the West to march immediately to San Cristobal to support the authority of the President o State of Tachira and to cause the sove eignty and integrity of the national terri- tory to be respected. “The Government and army are both | prepared, and in informing you of this I swear by both and in the name of the republic that all our duties shall be per- ormed. ' “Compatriots, I therefore ask and de- mand in the name of Venezuela, in these solemn mements, decided support of all her sons who are not, like Rangel Gabi- ras, traitors to their country, and who have the right notions of honor and duty.” Dr. Garbiras has issued a manifesto de- claring that it is the purpose of the Gov- ernment to deprive the people of Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela of their exist- ence as independent nations. upon Venezuela to join him in protesting against this conspiracy. FEAR TROUBLE WILL RESULT FROM STRIKE TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 5.—The situation in | the cigar-makers’ strike remains critical. The positions of the unions and the man- ufacturers remain good, but it is feared that the public feeling engendered against the strikers will cause an outbreak sooner or later. Boycotts were to-day placed on many business concerns because they were reported to be friendly to certain people who are said to oppose La Re- sistencia Union. Others who are friendly, but who are not engaged in business, wers followed through the streets on. their every appearance by a taunting and jeer- ing crowd. In several instances collisions were narrowly averted. i ST Ends Life With Prussic Acid. LOS GATOS, Aug. 5.—Alexander E. Grogan, an elderly man who for several vears lived at the El Monte Hotel here, was found dead on a bench this evening. He_had been despondent for several days and drank prussic acid.

Diaz Guer- rera, agent in this city of the Co- lombian revoluticnists, to-day re- ceived information from trusted agents who had reached Venezu- ela that a bloody battle was fought at Palo Negro in the latter part of May. The conflict lasted reventeen days. The bat- tle was drawn at the end of that period, the insurgents. retiring when their am- | munition was exhausted, the Government troops being too badly cut up to pursue the revolutionists. b ~ By the Red I liner Philadelphia, which arrived here to-day from Venezuela, Agent Guerrera received a budget of information in the form of reports, cablegrams and lettérs from the scene of hostilities. These stated that General Benjamin Herrera, who is attacking from the Pacific side, is preparing in the department of Cauca; General Argila, who is advancing from the Atlantic, is'in the department of San- tander and is in possession of Ocana City; Generals A. Castillo and Clodmiro Castillo have effected a junction of their forces and are at El Valle, in the department of Magdalena, and General Marin has fought an important battle at Jirardot, in the de- partment of Cundinamarca, which is in the interior of the country, about 100 miles from Bogota, the capital of Colombia. Im- portant and successful engagements have een fought by General Herrera at Tuinco and Barbacos, and other insurgent vic- tories are reported from the southeastern portion of the department of Cauca. A great revolutionary army is said to be op- erating on the Pacific side of Colombia. Information which came to Agent Guer- rera via Maracaibo states that Senor Valencia is on his way to Cucuta to take charge of the Government forces on the and that at Bogota the mer- chants, not wishing to handle any more paper money, have closed their stores, and that business throughout the country is at a standstill. Senor Guerrera says that he has not for some time received any information con- cerning the whereabouts of General Uribe-Urite, who has been appointed by General Vargas Santos in supreme com- mand of the insurgent army. Continuing he said: General Uribe is a personal friend of Gen- eral Castro, the President of Venezuela. They have known each other for years. Castro lived for a time in’ Colombia and his wife is a Colombian. The friendship and recent meet- ing between Castro and General Uribe at Caracas has no significance in a revolutionary sense. The Colombian Government officials, however, charge that President Castro has been openly opposing the insurgents, but such is not the case. I don’t think he sympathizes with the movement, because a year ago he ordered the seizure at La Guayra of two of our war- ships which had on board a large quantity of ammunition. NAVAL MANEUVERS BROUGHT TO SUDDEN TERMINATION The English Admiralty Declares tho Enemy’s Fleet the Victors in the Engagement. LONDON, Aug. 5.—The naval maneuvers were suddenly terminated to-day by or- ders from the Admiralty, and the ene- my’s fleet was declared to be the victor. The final results have not yet been given out, but the defenders are known to have lost a dozen cruisers, two gunboats and eight torpedo-boat destroyers. The enemy 10St only three cruisers, three torpedo-boat destroyers and three torpedo-boats, while they captured an endlegs number of mer- chantmen. The result'is taken to be a practical confirmation of the justness of the criticism to which the Admiralty bas recently been subjected. —_——— Omissions in the Awards. ‘WASHINGTON, Aug. 5—There is to be a supplemental report by the board of awards appointed by Secretary Long to consider and report upon the recommen- dations made by commanding officers rela- tive to awards to officers under them dur- ing the Spanish war. It was found when the first list was made up that quite a number of officers deserving of considera- tion had been overlooked in the early re- orts on which the board had acted, and rom time to time the attention of the department has been called to the omis- sion. e gl Killed by a Street Car.
