CONFLICT CERTAIN.

Pittsburg, Pa, June IA second
Homestead, probably without it's record
of bloodshed, seems to be IN inevitable
result of the forces which are working
in the iron industry of Pittsburg tho
Mahoning and Shenango valleys.
Next Tuesday the Amalgamated asSo-
citation of Iron and Steel Workers be
gins its annual wage conference in this
CITY. Whatever conclusion may be-
reached the big iron men have deter
mined that wages shall come down.
d. B. Oliver, of Oliver Bros. d Co.,
employing 1000 men and boys, and l.
f. Jones, employer Of several thousand
men, indorse this ultimatum.
Andrew Carnegie is helping along by
declaring that trade will get no better
until production is greatly restricted.
Last years fight drove the $1,000 en-
ployes Of the six Carnegie plants out

Today, counting only plants engaged
in manufacturing iron and soft steel,
there are fifteen union and nineteen
non-union mills in this allegheny
county, Lle HeduIudIlclS VI llI ioA
and steel trade of America.
The Linden Steel company has built
a seven-foot tight board fence around
it's works. Competition with the Car
negies is declared to be impossible ex-
cept with cheaper labor Some firms
are known to have positively determine!
upon non-union labor unless the Anal
gamated association consents to re-
ruction.
Many manufacturers who were in
vited to a, meeting last Week to dis
cuss a request by the Amalgamated
refused to attend, owing, it Is said.
to a growing belief that it would be
better to make their mills non-union.
At the Amalgamated meeting the re-
tention of he puddler's scale and a res
toration of ten per cent. taken from
fnishers last year will be demanded.
A long shutdown is anticipated.

KILLED BY BEER.
Glass a Minute Too Much for Foolish
NIilwaukeean.

! Milwaukee, June alderman Pla-
mann died suddenly yesterday after
! noon at o'clock in a barn ON Fond
du Lac avenue, near Eighteenth street,
as the result OF excessive drinking.
| Plamann who was in the employ of
the Milwaukee Chair company, had Il
free day yesterday on account of the
rain. lie came down town with his
! team early i'll the day to get load Of
grain and on his way home stopped at
Il blacksmith's to have the horses shod.
While this was being done he and Soy
eral companions went to Il neighboring
saloon. The crowd drank for some time
and then got into Il discussion us to the
amount Of beer Il man could drink in
given time.
Asa result of this discussion Plamann
wagered with one of his companions
that he could drink fifteen ''schooners"
Of beer in fifteen minutes. The wager
was promptly accepted and Plamann
began the performance of the task.
The barkeeper drew a large, foaming
glass Of beer, which was quickly dis
posed Of. Nine other tumblers of beer
followed in quick succession Hardly
seven minutes had passed. The man
was confident Of his power to accom-
pIish the task, SO much SO that after
drinking the tenth glass he thought he
would switch off, and sandwich in
few WHISTLES"
He drank two glasses of whisky and
the eleventh glass Of beer was set be-
fore him on the bar. He reached for
it, but instead of grasping the glass
his hand clutched convulsively the
empty air. He began to tremble all
over. A vacant expression came into
his eyes, and had not two of his COM
panions seized him by the arms and
held him up he would have dropped to
the floor.
As it was they led him outside of the
saloon, hoping that fresh air would re-
vive him; but it was of no avail He
was led to a barn in the neighborhood
and laid in a stall. Fifteen minutes
later he died.
A physician who was summoned could
do nothing to save the man. 1t seems
that the mixing Of the beer and whisky
and the abnormal strain to which he
had subjected himself in drinking so
great a quantity of liquor had produced
paralysis of the brain and heart failure.
Plmann was 81 years of age and was
a robust man. He lived on the Fond
du Lac road near the toll gate and
leaves a wife and five young children.

MAX JUDD ALL RIGHT.
No Reason to Believe Australia Will
Object to the Minister

Washington, June 2.-It appears from
a recent dispatch received at the de
partment of state from Col. Grant,
United States minister at Vienna, writ
ten with reference to published reports
alleging the unwillingness of the Astro-
Hungarian government to recognize
Max Judd as tonsul-general of the
United States at Vienna, that such
statements are wholly unauthorized.
AS a piatter of fact the minister has
been given to understand that no OBJ
lection will be raised to Mr. Judd on
account of his being Of Austrian birth
and Of the Hebrew race. Application for
his recognition is simply passing through
the usual routine and the legation at
Vienna has no reason to suppose that
the final action of the foreign office
will be unfavorable, unless it shall be
found that charges exist against him
for acts prior to emigration.

The mistake most often made by
those inexperienced with hot beds is in
keeping them too close. Circulation Of
air is needed and on sunshiny days the
vetilators must be kept open as possible
if this is not done the plant will either
damp off" or grow SO long and spind-
ling as not to be worth anything for
transplanting. Half-hardy plants are
better to have partial exposure nights,
so as to make them harder.

the pig loses flesh every time it is al

Aberdeen, S. D., June 2.-It is official
" announced that the Publishers
Printing company, which was organized
about eighteen months ago, will at
once retire from the ready print bust

to buy the plant of the Publishers
Printing company, thus assuming its
obligations and protecting stockholders
from financial loss. 1t was a happy
way out for the latter.

A freight train on the Santa Fe killed
one of the strikers who was on the
track near Romeo.
The strikers number about 1000 men,
100 of them being employed on the
drainage.
The cause of the strike is that the
stone companies reduced wages from
II IL cents to Is cents per hour. The
strike also extends to Joliet where from
300 to 400 men are out because of the
same reduction.
The drainage contractors are unable
to learn why the strike has been order
ed on them as there has been no re-
duction in wages by them.
