PRINTERS STRIKE IN pITTsBURG.
Machinists Denounced for Teaching
Apprentices.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 25.-Presi-
dent Donnelly and Secretary Brentwood, of
the International Typographical Union, to-
day returned from a meeting of the execu-
tive council of the union, In Pittsburg.
1--WE found that Pittsburg publishers re-
fused to meet with us or in any way rec
ognize our council" said Donnelly 1--WE
have, as result, rated the International
Association of Machinists, and will have
nothing more to do with them, either
through arbitration or in any other way.
The fight in P1ttsburg will be fought TO
finish"
Secretary Brentwood. in speaking of the
resolution passed by the American Fedora
ton of Labor at Detroit In providing for
a committee of nine to investigate and
report on the differences between the Ty-
biographical Union and the machinists,
said:
1.-THE first resolution offered provided for
a transfer from the Typographical Union
of all machine tenders who are members
chinists. the latter to get all of the trans
ferred members.
"This was defective, and the resolution
providing for the committee substituted.
The Typographical executive council cam
not appoint such a committee without a
vote. This would take four months.
"The committee will not be appointed at
all--at least I think this way.
THE machinists are violating one of the
cardinal principles of unionism. They are
not only taking care of machines and OPP
Grating them, but are teaching others how
to do the work. The stereotypers were or
dered out, but have not followed the order.
they are not well organized. The stereo-
typers have been rated just as have been
the machinists. This Pittsburg fight will
go to a finish"

Enough Already Subscribed to Pay
ON the Home Mortgage and the
Later Responses Are Proving
More Liberal Than Expected.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The total sub

tee has determined to continue the work at
least until the "a of January, when II Is
hoped a sufficient fund will have been sub
scribed to place the widow and children OF
Gen. Lawton beyond the possibility of want
and enable the mother to carry out the
fathers fondest wishes that his children
receive proper education.
1t is not at all improbable that the fund
will eventually reach $4,000. The original
intention was to raise only fund sufficient
to pay or the mortgage of about $4,000 on
the Lawton homestead at Redlands, CAL.
but the generous response to the appeal en-
courages tho committee to believe that
enough money will be subscribed, beyond
that sum, to place Mrs. Lawton and her
children above want for the rest Of their
lives
Secretary Root ana Adjt. Gen. Corbin
sent personal appeals to about 150 bankers
and business men in New York, with the
result of large increase to the fund.
Among those who have promised subscrip-
lions are:
william X. Vanderbilt, 1000; J. Pierpont
Morgan, $1,000; C. p. Huntington. $1,000:

FOREIGNERS CLAIM DAMAGES.

After Spanish Left.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
ILOILO, Nov. 1.-THE taking Of Iloilo Is
an old story at home, but 1t is a very live
story here today, because upon Its facts
and details hinge claims for damages to
foreigners resulting from the burning of
the city, which amount In all to more than
$4,000 In gold.
The foreigners claim that our military
authorities were responsible for the burn
ine, and these authorities hayea up to the
present time, ignored the whole matter.
EARLY in December, 1895" said prom
letter was handed to Maj Gen. Otis, sign
ed by the foreign merchants in Manila,
who had branches Of their firms in Iloilo,
In which his attention was drawn to the
danger that would inevitably result to for

to Iloilo to take over possession of the
city from the Spanish before the latter
left, as It was well known that the Span
ish governor had orders from Spain to
evacuate the city with the least possible
delay. This latter was ignored by Gen.
in Iioilo bay until December g. four days
after the Spaniards left"
Efforts have been made within the last
month by merchants directly interested In
this matter OF claims. to ascertain what
the authorities had done, were doing or
contemplated doing in. the matter, but it
was impossible to gain any satisfaction
All these folio claims are filed with the
proper persons at Manila, and, further,
they have been filed with the respective
consuls of the foreigners interested.

FRENCH COAL MINERS STRIKE.
1t II Feared the Movement Will In
yOlye About 10000 Men.

PARIS. Dec. 25.--At q meeting of $500
miners held today in st. Etienne, q resolu-
ton was adopted in favor of declaring
general strike in the coal basin of the
Loire tomorrow. A similar movement, in
volving $4,000 men. is feared. The prosper
ity of the coal trade caused the miners to
demand an increase. In wages, shorter
hours and formal recognition or the
miners federation by the companies. The
latter made an offer Of per cent. increase
but this was refused.
Today's decision was reached amid cries
of "Vive la Grievev' Disorders are anticj-
pated. Already there have been slight dis
turbances, particularly last evening when
the miners went In procession through the
streets of st. Etienne singing the Gar
magnole."
Twelve thousand five hundred lace
workers are on strike at st. Etienne for
higher wages. Their idleness involves
that of $1,000 other dependent workmen
making with the miners. II the coal
strike spreads, as Is expected, nearly 100,-
900. Moreover, a-number of factories and
works will soon be compelled to close
owing to the coal shortage.
