Washington, October 2.--Secretary Long
Is face to face with the proposition wheth-
or he shall bow to the dictates of the
armor plate combination or exercise the
discretion vested in him by the last con
gress and build.a government armor plant.
Two OF the steel companies--the Carnegie
and Bethlehem, which are to all purposes
On this question one--today gave him to
understand that he need expect no recess
son from their original bid OF s445 per
ton without royalty, and 1t Is understood
that the Midvale company is complsisant
In this demand. This Is taken to mean
that an understanding has been reached
by the Carnegie, Bethlehem and Midvale
companies by which the contracts are to
be divided Though not necessarily equally
among them. When Secretary Long Left
his Office this afternoon he had nothing TO
say on the subject except that another
conference would be held in few weeks,
when he hoped some satisfactory agree.
ment might be reached.
He apparently does not despair Of having
the steel men withdraw their ultimatum.
Noon today was the hour set for the open

new bids were offered Lieutenant Stone.

GREATEST OF THE AGE.
The Coal Miners Strike Could Not Be
More Complete.
BIG COMPANY PRACTICALLY SHUT DOWN
IL I. only Able 10 Turn ont 225 Cars.
Miners Are Winding Their
own Business.

Pottsville. Pa. october "A week ago
the collieries were working almost full
handed through this territory. The Unit
ed Mineworkers then appeared to nave
an insecure hold. Looking over the heid
now. it looks as II nearly all the COZ
lieres are tied up, and the prospects arg
that not more than 225 cars of anthracite
coal viii be sent to market as the result
OF todays operations. and with the ex-
ception of two sections of the county
everything Is closed down tight.
Notwithstanding an increase of 10 per
cent in wages, the Reading miners re-
solved to stay home until the big strike
| is over. They say they are not ony
striking. but will quit work until the
trouble ends. 1t Is sympathetic move
on large scale TO enable their brother
miners TO win their battle and the rec
ognition of their union. The advance in
wages would be 10 per cent on Their net
earnings and the remaining per cent
| increase would come TO them as the re-
suit OF the high price that the company Is
now getting for its coal; but the $1,000
employees Of the company who are now
out are unmoved by these arguments.
Strike leaders from Hazleton and Nc
| Adoo failed to get the men out in the
| Panther Creek valley. 1t Is beleveu,'
however that they will eventually leave
work unless the strike is speedily set
tied The strike leaders say that all the
men in the Panther Creek valley will be
out before the end of the week.
The Willamstown colllery of the Penn
sylvania railroad is full handed. They
gladly accept the 16 per cent advance in
wages. The collieries at Lykens are tied
up tight. The officials of the Reading
company are astounded at the stand
taken by the employees. 1t was believed
that the posting of the notice of an ad-
vance of 10 per cent in the wages Of the
men would result in keeping them at
work. The men, however. have decided
to take different view OF the matter.
The te-up so far as the Reading COM
pany is concerned is practically com :
plete. The collieries now ia operation on
full time are not able to produce more
than 225 cars of coal.

DIRECTORS ELECTED.
Gould Interests Were Entirely Sue
cessfu1.


ST. Louis, October 2.--The annual meet
ing of stockholders Of the St. Louis South
western, or Cotton Belt. was held today
at headquarters in the Equitable building.
President Edwin Could called the meet
ing to rider. The principal business was
the election of three directors.
AS already announced. fight was to be
expected on the part of the minority stock
holders. who protested against new by
law passed at the meeting last year. They
claimed that no specific notice had been
given in advance of that meeting of the
intention TO vote on a change in the by
laws and that therefore the action was
contrary to the Missouri laws under which
the company Is Incorporated.
Inc new bylaw calls for an election OF
only three directors each year, instead OF
electing the entire board OF nine. This.
the minority forces claimed, destroys tho
cumulative feature OF voting, which Is
recognized by the laws OF Missouri. Bah
parties held large bundles OF proxies, snd
the entire morning session was consumed
In examining them. They were carefully
scrutin2ed by the officials and attorneys
OF both interests, The following shares
OF stock were then declared to be rep
resented at the meeting; In person, is,
766h shares; by proxy, S24,7751a shares.
Total. SSs.55 shares out OF 500. 600 shares
outstanding. Tellers were appointed and
at the afternoon declared the following
to be the new board of directors for the
ensuing year:
I Edwin Gould of New York; +. H. Brit
/ ton Of st. Louis w. S. Pierce OF New
York. w. II Taylor of New York. S. NJ
Galloway OF New York. Thomas T, Eek
ert OF New York. Albert Loeb OF New
- II On, NJ 7 Y
Wolf OF 81. Louis
This means that the Gould interests
succeeded in electing their men, as the
board Is exactly the same as last year.
