More Formidable.

the puddlers and shapers of the Jones &
Laughlin mills, coupled with the trouble

the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers in this district. The men
are holding meetings tonight in antlcipa-
ton of the steel workers and flnishers join
ing the strike, as the lately signed rules of
the analgamated association are also OBJ
noxious to them in some respects, as they
provide no pay for overtime. Unless these

HARRIsON's UNPOPULARITY

a Tarlu Bill Amendmen Doomed by
HIS Advocacy.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Presidenu Har-
rison complicates the tariff situation in the
Senate by coming forward with an amend
ment which he has had presented in the
Senate by his personal friend, Mr.. Pierce of
North Dakota, to be added to the provision
for free raw sugars, to the effect that if, at
the end of a year from the day the bill
goes into effect, any sugar-raising nation has
failed to make reciprocity treaty with
us, the duty shall be restored on
sugars produced by it. President Harri-
son thinks this ought to satisfy High Pro-
tectionist Mckinley and Free Ira Ter
Blaine. If it had come from any one else
but the President it would have stood a
better chance of being adopted, but the
fact is the President prejudices all his
recommendations. He is as unpopular in
the Senate now as he was when membe r
of it. This amendment will only increas Q
the discussion.
