THE ;AlXiii&lT: :viES3LiiTaii-,9 'jj''jEZ'DL:9- JUjL'Z 19, lSOi 7 STEEL WORKERS' STRIKE PRESIDENT SHAFFER'S ORDERS UNIVER SALLY OBEYED. SEVENTY THOUSAND HEN GO OUT Plrst Step In the Move Aftalnst the American Steel Corporation Several ot the Plants Completely Tied Up. The Employer Greatly Surprised to Find Certain Mills Under Control or Amalgamated Association Wages Advanced In Some Plants President Shaffer's Reserve Forces. Pittsburg, July 15. Reports received from all sources connected with the ,great strike of the steel workers today Indicate that the members of the Amal gamated Association had matters well in hand and that the strike order was generally obeyed. Reports from various points where the American Tin Plate Company, the American Steel Hoop and the American Sheet Steel Company, are located, told of a shutting down of these plants. In many cases the plants had been shut down by the first strike order, which affected the Sheet Steel and the Steel Hoop companies only. ine last order brought out all of the union plants of the American Tin Plate Company, with the single exception of the new mill in Monnessen, which is still running. At the Amalgamated Association headquarters, St was said that the fig ures given out Saturday night regard ing the number of men who would be actually idle in the mills of the three companies had been proven correct. This number was placed at 74,000. The strike, although one of the great est that has been declared in recent years, will affect Pittsburg but slightly. Of the 74,000 men idle, 2,500 are In Pitts burg. 800 in Allegheney and 1,500 in Mc Keesport. President Shaffer has it in his power to close many more Pittsburg mills, but it is not thought that he will do anything of a radical nature until he Is compelled to. The American Steel Hoop Company's supposedly non-union mill known as the "Painter"' mill in West Carston street, was closed this morning in all Its branches. The tie up at this mill was said to have been a surprise to the mill owners and officials in charge of it. The other plant known as the Lindsay and McCutcheon mill in Allegheny was shut down completely fin the puddling and bar mills. All the skilled workmen refused to enter the mill this morning and the company did not even operate the. five furnaces. The finishing de partment of the mill was working dur ing the day, as the men are not in the union, but it is claimed by the workers that the employees in that department will not go to work in the morning. The American Steel Hoop Company's mill at Monnesen was not closed today. It has been non-union since it was built, two years ago, and the company says the men there will remain loyal. The Amalgamated people would not discuss the situation In that mill at present. While all the mills of the United States Steel Corporation are included in the general conflict, these three companies are the first attacked. What the next move would be, workers would not say. It is announced tonight that the cir cular letter which was expected to be sent out today, calling on the men in the mills of the Federal Steel Company, the National Steel Company and the National Tube Company, to come out, would not be issued at present. The most interesting report to the Amalgamated men today was the dis patch from New York, which said that a conference of the manufacturers was to be held in New York tomorrow at .which Warner Arms, vice president of the American Tin Plate Company, was to present a detailed account of the ex periences of the committee that met the Amalgamated Association in this city last week. It was stated that the ques tion of again extending- the olive branch to the strikers or of crushing the strike ouia De discussed. The strikers, from .rresiaent Shaffer down, seem to be looking for some sort of settlement. At the district offices of the Amerl can &neet Steel Company, a meeting ot me managers was held today. It was a closely guarded session and infor- mctnun was nara to secure, it was said, however, that the reports from the managers referred to the condition of affairs In the non-union plants of tne company, it was claimed that the men In the Old Meadow mill in Scotts dale would not go out on a strike. The Scottsdale Iron and Steel mill is also working and no signs of a strike are visible there. The alleged attempt on the part of the association to bring over the forces in the big Vandergrift mills In Vandergrift, Pa., was not re garded seriously, though the company is watching closely all such movements. - THE TUBE COMPANY ADVANCES WAGES. The jLZOO employes of the National Tube Company, at McKeepsport, were . notified today of an advance In wages of 10 per cent. The men are not organ ized, but the Amalgamated Association was 'making efforts to Induce them to join the union. Several months ago the men aemanaea a iu per cent, aavance, hut were refused. ui luui iJiiiK a. vuiiiiiiitict; huuim oil Manager Crawford and Insisted upon the increase. He was unable to give an immediate answer, but a short time later the officials gave out a statement granting the advance. When President Shaffer was informed of granting the advance to the McKees port Tube Workers, he said: "I anticipated such action on the part of the manufacturers and have warned our men to guard against being blinded by such dust throwing methods. The , Tube men in McKeesport are unorgan ized and this advance, coming with the heginning of the strike of the employes of the three companies with which we are at issue Is an Indication that the Steel Corporation appreciates the strength of the Amalgamated Associa tion and is trying to thwart Its growth and alms by such means as have been adopted In McKeesport. I expect that men in other works of the United States Steel Corporation that have not been affected by the strike order. In the hope . -that the workers may refuse to come out should we decide to extend the strike to all the plants of the corpora tion." President Shaffer Is confident that the association will make such a strong showing In this preliminary suspension of work that a general strike of all the mills of the United States Corporation will not be necessary. This latter prop osition is the strong card which the amalgamated president has up his sleeve, and which he has threatened to play if an early adjustment of the dif ficulty Is not made.' This strike bears a resemblance to the historical Homestead strike In 1892. In that it is not a question of wages, but of recognition of the Amalgamated Association. The association Insists upon unionizing: all the plants of the three companies In question. The man ufacturers refuse to grant this demand and say that the individual contracts with workmen which are in force at a number of the plants must stand. BIG STRIKE TWO. The Painter and Lindsay and Mc Cutcheon plants, which the Amalga mated Association today succeeded in closing have been looked upon by the officials of the United States Steel Corporation as the strongholds of non- unionism In the Hoop company. The prompt action of President Shaf fer in thus early forcing the fighting and carrying it into the enemy's camp. was looked upon as evidence that the strike will be one of the most spirited n Pittsburg's history. President Shaffer was pleased with the reports from the two strongholds and he declared that not a wheel would turn in either the Painter or Lindsay and McCutcheon works until the strike was settled. President Shaffer said that the move ment would be carried to other plants not now recognized by the combine as under the wing of the association. Mr. Shaffer said today that things thus far had gone just about as he had had expected. The men he had found were not only willing but eager to go out. He added: "In the rush we over- ooked one place and an important place too, and this morning I got a telegram asking what the matter was. It is a tin mill,' said he, but he refused to say where it was located." Youngstown, O.. July 15. The Amal gamated Association will levy an as sessment on the amalgamated men employed by the Republic Iron and Steel Company and the Independent Bar Iron plants. 50,000 men altogether, for the support of the United States Steel Corporation strikers. This will srive a fund of nearly J25.000 oer month. The associationa has In its treasury some 5300,000 for the purpose of carry- ng on the strike. Scottsdale. Pa., July 15 All depart ments of the Scottsdale and Old Meadow Rolling mill at this place are running full today and there is every ndication they will continue to run for an indefinite period. The officials here have little fear that the personal agree ment entered Into by the men will be broken. McKeesport, Pa.. July 15. W. Dewees wood and the United States tin plants are idle and no attempt .was made to resume work at either plant during the day. The men are looking for an early settlement. Through Pennsylvania, all men called out quit. Cumberland. Md., July 15. The 200 men in the tin plate works here are out. Anderson, Ind., July 15. The tin plate mills here and at Middletown, Elwood and Gas City, all were closed today by the men striking. Cleveland, O., July 15. Between four and five hundred men employed at the Crescent tin plate mills in this city obeyed the strike order today. The plant is practically idle. Muncie. Ind., July 15 Because of the strike order of President Shaffer the Midland Steel Works in Muncie did not resume today and 500 men are idle. The men have pickets on duty to pre vent the non-union men entering the mill. Joliet, 111.. July 15. Jollet is affected by the Amalgamated Association strike. The 125 members of the association employed In the great western tin plate works, an auxiliary of the American tin plate, refused to go to work today. This closed the hot mills and if the strike shall continue, all other branches will have to close in a week or ten days affecting 325 men. Pittsburg. July 15. Secretary-Treas urer John Williams, of the Amalga mated Association, today said: ' In an Interview in this morning's paper, Mr. Arms is reported as saying that the manufacturers insisted on pro tecting the non-union men. in the non union plants, many of whom do not want to become union men. I hardly think that Mr. Arms would make a statement of this kind, as his past rec ord has always been one of fair dealing with the Amalgamated Association. No one Knows better than Mr. Arms him self that if the barriers were torn down from the non-union mills we could or ganize them all inside of two days. "This has been demonstrated by vol untary closing of all plants of the American Steel Hoop Company. The only reason that the manufacturers gave that the previous condition should exist was that they were afraid the Amalgamated Association would attain too great a power and it was necessary that they themselves hold the balance of power. "The manufacturers are refusing us the right that they exercised them selves In forming the combination. They used force in some instances, it is believed, in securing some . of the plants now in their company. W not purpose to coerce men into joining our organization but merely ask for recognition and I am certain the men now at work In non-union mills will voluntarially and gladly join our as sociation." NON-UNION MILLS JOIN THE STRIKE. Pittsburg, July 15. In addition to tne very general ana in some instances rather unexpected compliances with the strike order the Amalgamated As sociation tonight has added two more mills to its list, both of which were claimed today by the companies to be beyond the reach or organization.

The men held a meeting tonight to elect officers and name their lodge. The conquest of these two plants Is considered by the association people as an instance of their strength. EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE ON COAL MINING. Kansas City, Mo.. July 15- John Mitchell, national president of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America, was ask ed today what action the coal miners of America would take relative to the strike of the Amalgamated Associa tion of Steel "Workers, which has been declared at Pittsburg: "I can tell you better what effect the steel strike will have on the coal mln ers." he replied. "The coal and steel Industries are so closely allied that a great strike of steel workers and the closing down of the great steel mills will very greatly lessen the consump tion of coal. That will mean that many coal mines will cease operations." "Is there likely to be a sympathetic strike ordered among the coal miners? "I don't care to say anything about that." replied Mr. Mitchell. "The strike of the steel workers has not yet as sumed definite proportions. It cannot be told how far-reaching it will be, even within the order immediately af fected. I would not care to say whether or not the coal miners will be drawn into it, or even whether such a thing has been considered. SALE OF A RAILROAD The Blue Ridge lload Purchased by Two Southern Directors Atlanta. Ga., July 15. A special to The Journal from Anderson, S. C, says: The Blue Ridge railroad was sold at auction here today to Fairfax Harri son, of "Washington, D. C. and B. L. Abney, of S. C. for $100,000. the upset price.

AMERICAN SECURITIES LOSE THEIR FORMER PRESTIGE 0!l THE LONDON MARKET AS COLLATERAL FOR LOANS They are not so Readily Taken by the London Bankers Rumors that the Latter Have Refused to Make Loan on American Steel Corporation Stock Onr Strikes, Reports ot Bad Crops, Railway Fights and Slump on the New York Stock Market Causes Un easiness There. New York, July 15. The Evening Post says: Cables received by foreign banking houses dn this city today said that in London there was great difficulty In obtaining loans on United States Steel Corporation shares. One of the best known foreign bankers In the city said: London bankers have never done quite the same thing before. Their at titude is wholly, new, I think so, faras American stocks are concerned. Some time ago they declined to loan on min ing shares, but under the circumstances. that refusal did not amount to much. It must be remembered, however. thaC London has not the facility of New York's call loan system, and that what ever funds are tied up at this settle ment day must hold over the fortnight. For this reason they are naturally dis turbed at the strike news and the ap parent uncertainty of the situation. the discrimination, whatever it is, may not last long. After the flurry is over and the heavy drop in the pride of Steel shares (part of which has been already made good) Is over, affairs will be ad justed. Again, London has had her hands full all along without providing a market for these foreign securities, so that the hitch Is not unnatural. Then, too. inaon Damcers never require a margin on loans, letting the brokers have full value of the collateral offered so that when a 'drop' occurs around settlement day, consequences are al ways apt to be embarrassing." London, July 15. There was consider able gossip in the city today concern ing United States Steel stocks and ru mors that London bankers had taken a stand against them and were refusing loans on them. Denials of reports were made in some quarters, including Pier- pont Morgan's banking house, but oth ers said loans on these stocks could be had only with great difficulty and where the individual seeking the loan had good personal credit. Lord Rothschild said to a representa tive of the Associated Press: 'There is no discrimination against United States Steel Corporation or oth er American stocks, it Is simply a bus iness matter here that bankers do not advance large amounts on any class of stocks alone. If a man came to me and asked for 50,000 on one lot of stocks, I would not give it to him. I should re quire several different lots of securities The financial situation here, not includ- ing consols, depends entirely upon the United States. If you send over good prices we will keep them up, but if you are as persistent sellers as you have been today, you cannot expect London to go on buying, "The financial situation in Germany is all right; everything, as I have said, depends upon the United States. J. P. Morgan placed $15,000,000 of Steel stocks here, they have gone down considerably, and therefore it cannot be called sur prising if the London market is de spondent, but there is no real anxiety, nor likelihood of panic or things of that sort. I expect the situation in the Unit ed States the drougth, bad crops and the possible results of the strike to be exaggerated. Settle your strike and ar range your railroad difficulties and you will nndTLondon as willing as ever to support American securities." r YOUR LIVER IS ALL WRONG : UF YOUR tongue is coated.
