A GENERAL STRIKE
In the Iron and Steel Trade Being Dis
cnssed by the Mnrismen.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. May lS.-Proba bly,
the most important business 10 be con-
sidered at the Cleveland convention of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers is the advisability
Of general strike in the iron trade.
Such j. the report current among the
local iron and steel workers who say
that the project has been under discus
sion in their lodges for several months.
According to the same sources of in
formation emissaries have been work
ing with much success among the en-
ployes in nonunion mills. Ii is well
known that the nonunion workers. as
well as the unionists have become dis
satisfied over the present condition of
affairs.
1t j. stated that the proposition ~
the Amalgamated Association Of Iron
and Steel Workers organization to
cooperate has been eagerly accepted.
For the purpose Of stirring up gen.
eral strike sentiment for higher wages.
trusted organizers have been sent to
Steelton. Harrisburg. Scranton, Phil
adelphia, Pottstown. Bellefonte and
other eastern manufacturing cities to
sound the workingmen and ascertain
whether they will join in the move
ment
This national strike, il is said, will
not BE ordered Immediately. Six
months or more may elapse before 1t
is undertaken. In the meantime a
part Of the plan is to have the conven-
tioD adopt the sixty-day limit wage
scale.
1t Is also asserted that in many mills.
which are nominally working under
individual agreement. secret lodges
have been organized, and the men are
only awaiting an opportunity to as
sert their allegiance to the Amalga-
mated association. The recent strikes
in nonunion mills are inc cative Of the
spirit ~ unrest now prev .ent, and the
Anal gamated association are not slow
TO take advantage Of the situation. 1t
is confidently predictel that unless
there are radical changes in the plans
during the Cleveland convention that
a national strike in The iron and steel
industries will certain be ordered.

ALLIANCE. O.. May ls.-For half an
hour yesterday the city was enveloped
in nearly total darkness during the
worst storm which ever struck this
part Of the state. The velocity of the
wind was over sixty miles an hour.
Hundreds Of shade trees and chimneys
were swept before the storm. Several
persons standing in the store doors of
the Coates block had narrow es-
cape from being killed by the fall Of
n heavy iron cornice. Lightning
destroyed the Central Union Telegraph
exchange and burned out every tele-
phone in the city Several small fires
were started by the burning tele-
phones For two miles along the Fort
Wayne track every telegraph pole is
blown down. Big damage TO farm
property is reported.

il will hc remembered that. in spite OF
the war which the slavc-owners waged
against the government, there were
not few anti-slavery men in our north

England. who believed that the
republican party was not fulfilling its
pledges, and VINO did not hesitate In de

subservicncy to the slave power. In
fact, there were in the early days Of
the war leaders in the party who were

M'kINLEYISM IN OHIO.
An indications That Tariff Reform IL stiil
In Demand.

1t is natural, perhaps, that the repub-
lican press should endeavor TO belittle
the der ocratic victory ia the congress-
ional elsction in Mckinlcy's old dis
trict in Ohio, but the very effort they
make in that behalf shows that they
appreciate the full significance of the
victory. They may well do 80. There
has been good deal Of chatter in the
organs of the party about reaction in
public sentiment" concerning the Nc
Kinlcy tariff and good deal of exulta-
ton over repu blican victories here and
there. but il is worthy Of note that this
election is the first that has been held
since the revolution in 1922, in which
the Mckinley issue was fairy and
squarely raised.
this and made extraordinary efforts to
carry the district which he himself car
ried in the gubernatorial election bv a
majority Of nearly Six hundred. They
had in their favor the hard times, the
dissatisfaction SO widespread over the
delay in passing the tariff reform meas
ure, the help of the American Protect
i've association and the customary "on
year" Indifference. But with all these
advantages they were beaten by sub
stantially the same majority which tho
democratic candidate had in 1922. No
wonder the republican organs are
whistling to keep their courage up.
for so long as the country clings to
tariff reform when tariff reform is in
issue the carrying of few municipal
or even state elections for the z. o. p.
on other issues will be Of small avail
The value Of the election TO the DEM

that the alleged reaction" has.not re-
acted aud that the people have not yet
abandoned their hope Of tariff reform

VINELAND, N. j., Feb. 25.-At 2 AS

Robinson Memorial cottage, at the
New jersey training school for feeble
linded, was discovered to be on fire,
god Notwithstanding the strenuous
forts of the fire department, was to-
ly destroyed.
J. H. Sage, the engineer, and his
fe were burned to death, but the
q her inmates, sixteen in number,were
scued in their night clothes. The
,yeather was bitter cold and several
we're badly frozen.
Mr.. Sage and wife appeared at one
of the upstairs windows and could
have been saved, but for some unac-
countabe reason, turned back and
were not seen alive again. Their
charred corpses were found at the foot
OF the stairs this afternoon.
Gus Shear, teamster at the train
ing school, was the hero of the fire.
No ladder long enough to reach the
second story could be obtained, but
by placing it on his shoulders, it then
reached the window sill and eight
women came down that way.

WASHINGTON, Feb. PA represent

tive mansion regarding the reports
that have been circulated in some
newspapers for the past two or three
days to the effect that he was suffering
from serious malady and was about
to have an operation performed. Con-
corning the reports, the President
said:
Il nave been engaged every day in
my public Office on public business

tives and Others. Nothing could have
been easier than to secure the abso.

Students Fatal Fun,

ITHACA, n Y, Feb. 21.-Last night
the Cornell freshmen held their ham
quet, and the sophomores had their
"fun," as they call it, with the result
that Tom Mcneil, ~ student from Pitts
tsburg, and Mrs. Jackson, a colored
cook, are dead, and several students
are not expected to live.
There was free fight on the streets
between the sophomores and the fresh.
men which the police were unable to
stop. After the freshmen had entered
the hall several became i'll. An in
vestigation as to the cause OF the
trouble showed that some one had en-.
tered the room underneath the kitchen
and bored two holes in the ceiling
above. On a table stood large jug
corked. In the cork were two rubber
tubes which ran nearly up to the cell
ing, where they were connected with
glass tubes. These ran through the
holes in the floor, thus llberating in
the room above the gas generated from
the jug, which was found to be chic.
