Then building was t during the entire summer which d a loss of 100,000 to employers | nd $30.000,000 in wages to workers The present trouble is, due to the fact that twenty-five non-union men are em- ployed by the Empire Company, which |is connected with the American Bridge Company at McKeesport, Pa. Because these men were not ged, members of the International Bridge and Struc- tural “Iron Workers through their pres! | dent, Frank M. Ry ered strikes hroughout the coun building {in which the American Bridge Company < in any way interested. This failed to bring the Amerfcan Bridge Company to terms, whereupon Ry: ordered | strikes against all Post and McCord con- | tracts, claiming that they were connected | with the American Bridge Company, and | as a result every structural iron worker quit work, thus tying wup more than thirty buildings in the course of con- | struction by Post and McCord, who deny any connection with the American Bridge Company. The strikers were ordered to return to work and lay their grievances before the board, but they declined to do so. They were then read out of the arbitration poard and will no longer be recognized by the employers as a union. Hereafter when they seek employment they must do 50 under the “open shop” plan. A general strike against the Building Trades Employers’ Association would affect many cities. It would throw 30,000 iron workers out of employment and in- directly more than 200,000 workers in other trades. —_—————— Death’s Roster on Great l:lkzl‘( CHICAGO, Dec. 18.—According to figures just compiled the death list on the great lakes during the season now closing has been the heaviest of any year since big steel vessels began be used on the lgkes.

When asked by Detective Frank Lynch, who was de- tailed on the case, why he had not led a doctor. Morton said he feared the notoriety if the woman were taken from his place to the hospital, and had supposed that she was simply in stupor and would become all right in a short time. Asked why hé had refused to allow his she came to the place in the morning he did not want her to find the body of the woman there. Officer McSoriey when he arrived at the tailor shop found the body of Mrs. Gur- nett stretched on the floor, in a position that indicated she had neither fallen from a chair nor been laid down in a gentle manner. Mrs, Gurnett, who was divorced from her husband, Byron Gurnett, last April, was the daughter of Mrs. Julia Donohue, ,who resides at 1261 Kirkham street. Mrs. Gurnett had been living with her mother and sisters. When the detec- tives went to the Donohue home this morning they were informed that Mrs. Gurnett had for some time been a vietim | of heart trouble, and as this seemed to | bear out the story of the negro his ex- | planation was accepted by the police, but 1e was held pending the autopsy. It was performéd to-night by Drs. O. D. Hamlin, George Reinle and Carl Curdts. LAND TR AR OoF ASE! LORD ~LIEUTENANT - s e IER. OF GRBEAT BRITAIN MEMBERS OF THE CABI- HE HAS FORMED.

The dress worn by the woman was cut high in the neck, and in addition she wore a collar and band around her throat, which, even had she been stran- gled, would have served to prevent plain marks being left by the hands which took her life. It is more likely, howdver, in the opinion of those in charge of the investigation, that death was caused by pressing a heavy coat or bther cloth over her mouth and nose, to stifle an out- ery. The case was reported to the police a few minutes after 7 o'clock this morn- ing and Officer McSorley reached the tailor shop in company with Mrs. Chap- man, at 7:15. At that time theé body of Mrs. Gurnett was almost cold, indicating that life had been extinct for some time. Morton lives at 808 Twenty-seventh street, and has borne a good reputation.

It is also an- rounced that France now,appears to be thoroughly in accord in Insisting that | President Castro meet the payments when due and give instant consideration to new ones as fast as they are presented. Al- though at the State Department it is be- lieved that any demonstration may be avolded, yet it is thought that in case the one nation acts the other will assist. Ttaly, by the decision of Jackson H. Raiston, as umpire, was awarded some- thing like $439,673 for damages inflicted upon the property of Italian subjects at the bombardment of Ciudad Bolivar by Castro in 1903. At that time Castro’s gun- boat, advancing in disguise, managed to get within pistol shot of the quay, crowd- ed with men, women and children, before it opered fire with its machine guns and 8000 persons were killed. There were claims, also arising from the damage to the mines owned by Italian subjects, to ‘warehouses, and for lives destroyed. The total amount of the original claim was a trifle more than $9,000,000, and this was scaled to less than $500,000. Signor Serra will g6 to South America armed, it is said, with instructions to be absolutely firm in pressing for pay- ment and consideration. It is asserted that, in case of a naval demonstration by France, its ally will join with the | republic. Carlo F. Serra has been the Italian Consul General in this eity for ' nearly ten years, and during that time has be- come very popular with all classes of peopte. He was reticent regarding his new office. He sald he had heard of his appointment more than a month ago and was awaiting the arrival of his succes- sor before taking his departure. “I really have no plans and I cannot say what course I will pursue at my new post,” said Mr. Serra last night. “I will simply do the bidding of my Government, as in the past, and that is all. No, I cannot say why I was selected to go to Venezuela, though I appreciate the thoughtful of my Government In honoring me with such an important post, though I am sorry that I.will have to forsake San Francisco. ~“I am not at liberty to discuss the policy of my Government in regard to her claims against Venezuela, which have been s ing now for some time.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Thousands of people who visited the New York Zoologi- cal Park to-day yere saddened by the death of little Zalo, the young and am: bitious pup of the sea lion tank. Pinni- pedia, the boss and chief bull of the herd, lay in the sun and nursed ugly wounds on his scarred old neck. take special delight in the knowledge that another young pup had col up against him, challenged him to mortal combat, and had died like a fighter. The story of Zalo, whose limp body was fished out of the sea lion tank, is a common demonstration of the survival of the strongest, Zalo was born on San Miguel Island in the Pacific dnd was brought to the Zoo while still too voung to attract the attention of the old bull of the herd. Zalo, grown to a husky lion of 17 pounds, came out of the stone house on Saturday morning as sleek and aglle as a young warrior going to his first joust. Old “Pinni,” blinking and showing his teeth, lay on the stone coping across the pool. The' whole herd came out to see the fight. With one look at his old moth- er huddled against the fence, Zalo went boldly to the fray. tore the veteran of a hundred battles from the copng and flung him ignomi- niously into the water. Zalo was mor active, but old “Pinni” had longer teeth. For hours the battle raged. The water was colored crimson. The females barked. Once or twice Zalo's mother essayed to join in the battle, but she was too old and she slunk back whining. Once Zalo got his firm young teeth deeply fixed in the neck of the old bull and would have strangled him, but his teeth were short and his strength in adequate. “Pinni” fixed his teeth in the neck of the youngster and it was all over. There was one spasmodic tussle, and the lithe young fighter fell away | weak and bleeding. He swam to the farther side of the pool, where he tried desperately to climb out to the coping. His mother swam around him, barking frantically, but Zalo sank to the bottom, a dead and beaten warrio) —_— e Thirty-Five Lawyers for Packers. CHICAGO.

Both sides exchanged | flerce fusillade, during which a po- liceman and several workmen were | wounded. As the strikers were withdrawing. a Cossack patrol came galloping to the rescue.

The news of the arrest of Krustalef® caused a tremendous sensation among the workmen. All the Socialist, labor and kindred organizations held a meet- ing to-night, at which inflammatory | speeches are being made in denunciation | of the Government, and all urged a gen- { eral strike in order to save their leader. Krustaleff, as he is called, though that is not his name, Is regarded as the brains of the revolutionary movement. He has displayed genius in organizing both the industrial and the poiitical strikes which have terrorized the Government. His offer of financial support to the telegra- phers yesterday prevented a coilapse of their strike. In some quarters it is believed that the Government, realizing that a great struggle” with the workmen and the Socialist organizations is inevitable in D S S Continued On Page 3, Columa &
