STRIKES AFFECT IRON.
Firmer Conditions in Trade Noted
in the Trade Review.

CLEVELAND, O., April 26.-The Iron
Trade Review says today: Attention
has been concentrated, in the iron trade
the past week. .on the coal miners strike
and the advances that have come in
some departments of the market, partly
in consequence of fuel scarcity and
partly because of continuing heavy
demand. 1t IS known that the blast
furnaces dependent upon ConnelIsville
coke, with single exception, have no
accumulated stock of fuel; and If the
strike continues it can be only matter
of a few days when all will be out of
blast. The duration of the strike is
entirely a matter of conjecture. In
pig iron the feature of the situation is
continued firmness in bessemer. The
large transactions of ren DAYS ago were
succeeded by a brief lull, but i'll the
past few days inquiries have been
numerous. and valley furnaces that have
sold at 1915 have had offers at $40.
PittSburg Sl0.75 is the quotation of some
sellers, and transactions are reported at
$1,000.
Steel billets are also frmer. and mills

HOWARD SEEN.
He Says the Men Will Stand by
Their Demands.

When GLOBE reporter called at the
Sherman house yesterday afternoon,
together with a coterie of newspaper
men, they found that President DebS
was asleep. Vice President Howard
tiptoed out into the hall. and sail that
Mr.. Debs was quite Ill with an attack of
hay fever. He invited the Faber push
ers to his room, where, in speaking of
the bulletin issued during the aftern oon
from Great Northern headquarters,
briefly announcing that arbitration mad
been declined, he said, after moments
reflection:
~ have issued hundreds of bulletins
in my day, but never one like this, un-
signed"
He was asked whether the conferen ce
committee would back down Oh their
original demand, and he repIied:
There will be no modification of the
original proposition, so far as we are
concerned. l have learned, by the way,
that President Hill was up to see Gov.
Nelson today. communicating to him, 1
suppose, as to what further action to
take. You may rest assured that the
men will not attempt to interfere with
the movement of the freight train sent
out by the company this afternoon,
laden with some more deputies. The
men will not be guilty of any overt act"
"Mr. Howard" asked the reporter.
"whatdo you think of the present aspect
of affairs? Will the a. 4. U. gain its
point?"
II decline to say whether we will win
our point. No man can tell now"
"If the A. r. U. is 'downed' in the
present stand it has taken, will not that
| tend to disruption W
ave know now what the future of
the A. r. U. is to be-" but further on
this question he declined to commit
| himself.
| As, up to this time -4:30-Mr. Hill
had not given out either a copy of the
committees communication or has reply
to the press, Mr.. Howard would not
then give even the substance Of the
committees communication, remarking:
Il have nothing to say till MI. Hill
makes public what is to be said. You
know, or ought to know by this time
that we are always as ready TO issue
Information to the newspapers upon any
point as is the company ITSELF"

WOULD NOT BE BINDING.

Mr.Cannon, ,one of the oldest engineers
in the service of the Great Northern
company. was of the opinion yesterday
that even should settlement of the
matter of wages be made and new
schedules adopted owing to the efforts
of the American Railway union, that
the majority of the employees could NOT
accept them anyway, and that such
would not be binding. His idea was
that schedules could only be adopted
through the Intervention OF the OLD
brotherhoods. as they are the only rec
ognized medium for negotiations OF this
nature. In following out his line OF
thought still further it was learned that
should Mr.. Hill arrive at settlement
with the A. R. o., it would not be per-
manent. and that he would subsequently
have to do the work ali over again with
the old brotherhoods.

ALL MUST ANSWER.
The Coxey Brigade Must All Go
to Court.

Ahc OOAoy ErIS6UG MUST All Gc
to Court.
General Manager Kendrick, of the
Northern Pacific, was seen at his Office
last uight and asked about adyices from
the Coxeyites at Forsyth. He stated
that he would spend the night in his
private car at the union depot yards. So
as to be convenient if wanted. Private
dispatches received seem to indicate
that the Forsyth brigade of the Coxey
army, composed of over 500 men, was
one OF tile choicest aggregati0ns of
tough tramps ever gathered together.
Asked if they were amieably disposed,
he smillngly replied that they could
hardly be otherwise while surrounded
by Gordon of United States regulars.
Mr.. Kendrick also said that il was the

and make them answer to it for theiI

From latest advices it is learned that
the Tacoma contingent of Coxey'S
crowd was encamped there and enjoy
iiig tire benefits of a big rain storm. As
a consequence their ardor seems to nave
been considerably dampened, and no
efforts to make q start will be made for
the next twenty-four hours.

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
They Remain in Secret Session
All Day But Refuse to Talk.

The strikers conference committee
went into session yesterday morning at
9 O'Clock and remained behind closed
doors during the entire day. But little
information could be gained from there,
however, as the men have entirely
changed their tactics and refuse to make
any statements.
President Debs was i'll in his room,
and was closely attended by Vice Pres
ideut Howard. Another session was
called for the evening. and some right
strong talk of an impending strike In
the Twin Cities was going the rounds
during the early evening hours.
TO what extreme the striking en-
ployes may resort is still matter for
conjecture only, but the best informed
aver that crisis is at hand. At the
morning session the men were addressed
Dy Mr.. Howard, and his remarks were
frequently applauded. The general
sentiment among the men, as learned
from outside sources, was to the effect
that no surrender from the original de-
mauds should be made.
REQUEST FURTHER TINE.
AT ~ y CLOCK subcommittee ap-
peared at the Office of President Hill
with request that further time be
granted the full committee for the con-
sideration of the company's proposition.
Mr.. Hill stated to the men that he de-
sired the committee to have all the time
necessary to arrive at clear under
standing of the company's position and
proposition, and that he would be glad
to hear from the conference committee
at any time when they should have ar
rived at conclusion.
The subcommittee retired and carried
the message back to Labor hall, and it
was generally understood that con-
ference would again be held at O'Clock
in the afternoon. At that hour the room
had again peen prepared for the recep-
ton of the full committee, anu the press
representatives and the officials of the
road were ali at hand. But the expec-
tatiJns of the waiting people were
doomed to disappointment, and the sit
uatiOn evidently remained unchanged.

mile this side of the Wisconsin shore. in
Lake Pepin. The body was not recOv-'

Holmes, cashier of the Merchants bank
of this city, and Miss Mccoy had been
rowing on the lake near this shore. but.
as the evening was pleasant and the
lake smooth, they extended their trip
about two miles to the opposite side Of
the lake. When within half mile of
the Wisconsin shore, Miss Mccoy eX--
pressed desire to row. Mr.. Holmes
remon strated. but she insisted, and
while changing positions, the boat be-
come unbalanced by swell from dis

SHOP MEN RETURN TO WORK.
They Repors That They Were In.
K timidated.

timidated.
ST. CLOUD MINI, April 26. Most of
the Great Northern shop men who left
their places yesterday have agreed to
return to work, and nearly all have
gone back today. 1t appears that the
men were induced to quit under in
timidation. They were very much ex-
cited yesterday, and appealed to the
foreman as to what was best to do.
Many of them said that they had been
threatened with violence if they did
not stop work. Supt. Wescott was at
st. Paul, but the foreman gave the men
a leave of absence SO they might in
yestigate for themselves as to whether it
was safe for them to work. They were
also told that if they did not return to
work by o'clock this morning they
would be considered as out on strike.
The men went to the officers of the
union and were assured no violence
would be done them il the union could
prevent it. The shop men accordingly
sent word they would return to work.
.ssThe strikers here are still hopeful of
winning their point.

This Statement.
Pioneer Press of Yesterday.
The Pioneer Press published yester-
day what purported to be widely dis
tributed circular. calling npon Catholics
to vote against Doran for mayor because
the A. P. A. had indorsed him for
mayor. We have received satisfactory
proof that this circular was not issued
by the Democratic city committee, and
that it did not originate in any Catholic
source. 1t was confsssedly written and
caused to be printed by an irresponsible
person, who pretended that it was au-
thorized by a number of Republicans on
the city committee or candidates for of
fee on the Republican ticket, Gu
Inquiry the Pioneer Press has as
certained that this pretense IS
wholly false; that no member
of the Republican city committee, and
ncne of the Republican candidates
named by him had any knowledge
whatever of this document, or any
agency in originating it. 1t was the sole
work of the irresponsible drunken coot
who acknowledged ne was the author of
it. The Democratic city committee. as
well as the Republican committee and
candidates, must be acquitted of any
responsibility for it. We are also in
formed by T. D. O'Brien that there is
no truth in the report that the secret
meeting held in his Office, to which
reference has been made, was for
the purpose of organizing a still
hunt with view to melting
Catholics to vote against Doran. Moth
ing of the sort, we are assured, was
done then or at any other time by the
Democratic city committee. That there
is pretty extensive and industrious
Stlll-hunt or this character going on is
lamentably notorious. Some persons,
whether organized or unorganized we do
not know, but animated by the same
spirit and moved by the same common
purpose, have been and are making act
i've and earnest efforts to incite opposi-
tion to Doran on the false pretense that
his nomination was procured and that
his policy would be dictated by the A.
p. A. The Pioneer Press is quite will
ing to accept the disclaimers of the
Democratic city committee that they
have set this crusade on foot or are re-
sponsibIe Tor it. But some influence is
responsible for far outdoing the feeble
efforts of the petty band of A. P. A. in
the effort to make this city election a
war of religions. What is this mys-
terious protagonist of the a. P. A.?
