Strike of Union LabOrers AsaAnsl
United States steel Corporation
Is InauEurateu.

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 15.-The great
strike of union labor against the
United States Steel corporation has
begun. The conference between the
labor leaders and representatives OF
the corporations adjourned Saturday
afternoon, admitting the impossible
ity of bringing about an agreement,
and an hour later President Shaffer,
of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, sent out
telegram declaring the general
strike. The message went to all the
subordinate lodges of the Amalga-
mated Association in the mills of the
American Sheet Steel company, the
American Steel Hoop company and
the American Tin Plate company, and
said: Notify your men that the mill
is on a strike and will not work on
Monday, July 49,"
Forty-five thousand skilled work
men and 10000 unskilled men are d.
rectly affected by this order. The en-
tire membership of the Amalgamated
association is understood to be about
10000, but many outsiders sympathize
with them and will cooperate, enforc-
ing the closing of the mills and the
shutting out of still other workmen.
If this does not bring the United
States Steel corporation to terms the
strike will be extended before long
to the mills of a number of others of
it's subordinate companies. The Fed
eral Steel company, the National Steel
company and the National Tube COM
pany will all have their union work.
! men ordered out. Practically the
only company controlled by the
United States corporation which will
not be "struck" will be the Carnegie
Steel company, in the mills of which
| the Amalgamated Association is not
organized.
Pittsburgh, Pa, July 16-Reports re-
ceived from all sources connected
with the great strike of the steel
workers indicate that the members
of the Amalgamated association had
matters we'll in hand and that the
strike order was generally obeyed
Fifty-four or IS plants of the three
steel companies against which the mi
tial movement is directed were closed
Monday.
Pittsburgh, Pa, July 16.-The 1850
employees of the National Tube COM
pany, at McKeesport, were notified
Monday of an advance in wages OF
| ten per cent. The men are not or
gained, but the Amalgamated asso'
citation was making efforts to induce
them to join the union. Several
months ago the men demanded ten
per cent. advance, but were refused
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 1.-THE
strike order of President Mullahy, OF
the Stationary Firemen's association
of Pennsylvania, was promptly obeyed
at seven o'clock Tuesday morning
when 900 members of the organiza'
ton in this section of the state re
fused to go to work. Most of the
strikers are employed as firemen al
the coal mines and their failure to re
port for duty caused nearly all thu
collieries in the northern anthracite
region to suspend operations, throw

The output of American shipyards
for the past fiscal year was 401, 1885
tons-the largest tonnage built in any
one year since 1886, when the era of
wooden shipbuilding began to decline.
AS it is, the carrying capacity of the
ships built last year exceeds that of the
previous period because 207, 900 tons of
this years building represents fast
steel steamers, one of which will do
more carrying in a year than a feet of
sailing vessels. OF the ships built 137,-
600 tons are designed for lake traffic
secured by law to American ships.
Yankee enterprise is supreme.

The Minnesota, once "a celebrated
American ship of war;. has been
stricken from the naval register. She
was one of the great timber-built
ships which encountered the ironclad
Merrimac in Hampton roads and was
saved from destruction with the 9th
ers only by the timely arrival of the
little Monitor which soon put the Mer-
rimac out of the fight. The. Minnesota
thus survived the era of wooden war
ships, which were looked upon as in
vincible, as we'll as the later era of
ironclad ships, which in their day were
regarded as something marvellous.

In addition to the laundry building,
the company has thirty-nine 500 stores
and one hundred (Ioo) rooms fronting

FIVE (25) comfortable cottages for the
