Inc bar mill at the Painter works
did not start as announced. Fires
were lighted in the furnaces but if
was later decided to postpone resump.
ton till Monday. The strikers claim
that the delay was caused through
the failure of the management to get
a sufficient number of skilled men to
operate it. Officials of the company
deny this, however, and say arrange.
ments have been perfected for the
operation of the entire plant next
week. There was no disorder, the
strikers remaining away from the mill
properties. Magistrate McGarvev's
announcement that the strikers would
not be permitted to interfere with
the men at work, or congregate on the
streets, has had the effect of keeping
the men at their homes
Representatives of the constituent
companies of the United States Steel
corporation in Pittsburg contend that
there is no movement looking to a
settlement of the strike that will be
effectual: that the combine pro.
gramme is to gradually and quietly
resume operations. AS result of the
strike the combine has arranged its
programme of centralizing operations

just adjoining the execution ROOM
1t required the assistance of four men
to keep him on his feet. When he was
taken into the presence of the scaffold
he broke down entirely, crying in a
childish voice, and praying that his
life be spared to him. He collapsed
entirely and fell to the floor.
Efforts to raise him and keep him on
his feet were fruitleSs and at last
Sheriff Cudihee ordered that a board
be brought. To this Nordstrom was
tied. 1t required six men to hold him
while he was being tied. While being
fastened to the board Nordstrom con-
tinued to cry in loud voice. Sew
eral times he tried to speak, but his
words We're unintelligible. The six
men who had held him raised his body
on the board and with great effort sue
ceeded in getting him onto the fatal
trap. Here he was stood upright, four
men standing on the four sides of the
trap and holding him. In less than
two minutes after the condemned man
was in place the trap was sprung and
Nordstrom had paid the penalty of his
crime.
The history of Nordstrom's case has
become familiar. For ten years he has
fought desperately in the courts to
prevent the execution of the death
penalty inflicted by the jury which
first tried him.
