THE STRIKE SITUATION.
Manufacturers Discussing Question

Manufacturers Discussing Question
of Securing Injunction Against
AmaIgnmated ARsOciniton.
Pittsburg, Pa, July 24-Two moves,
it is reported. were made by the ag-
gressive officials of the American Sheet
steel Company to-day toward the
breaking of the strike. One was the
shipping of some of the non union men
that have been employed In the Van
dergrift mills of the company to Wells
Vile, to assist in the starting of the
plant there. 1t was stated that the
men were to be shipped to Wellsville
during the early evening and would
reach there after dark. AS a conse-
quence of this report there is a sup
pressed excitement prevailing Wells
vile which at any moment may break
out into a serious condition. Both
strikers and officials of the
company are on the alert
and ready for any emergency. The
impression is strong tonight that the
general officers of the United States
Steel Corporation have become deter
mined on the subject of the early
breaking of the strike and to ultimate
ly force the operation of all the idle
mills. The second move that Is under
stood to have been initiated to-day Is
the starting of the long idle Hyde Park
plant of the American Sheet Steel Com
pany.
The question of the manufacturers
securing injunctions against the Anal
Gamated Association was discussed
guardedly during the day. Those best
acquainted with the feelings of the
manufacturers say there is, in their
opinion. little cause for believing that
such measures will be resorted to at
this time.

SERIOUS TROUBLE IMMINENT.
Arkansas County ohiciaIs Refuse to
Accept Governors Revocation OF
Their Commission.


Memphis. Tenn. July 24.-Dispatches
received here to-day told of a serious
state of affairs in Osceola, Ark, where.
it was claimed, Sheriff Bowen and Cir
cult Clerk Driver refused to vacate
their office, although having been re-
moved by the governor. 1t was said
that many persons were armed and an
outbreak was regarded as imminent. A
correspondent was sent to Osceola this
afternoon and at o'clock tonight a
telegram was received from him stating
that the stories had been exaggerated
and that the town was quiet.
A few days ago Gov. Davis revoked
the commissions of Sheriff Sam Bowen
and Circuit Clerk Driver and issued
commissions to John A. Lovewell and
j. W. Rhodes respectively. At the
election last September. Rhodes ran
for clerk and LoVewell for sheriff on
what was called the independent ticket.
Driver ran for clerk and Bowen for
sheriff on the Democratic ticket. The
returns showed Driver and Bowen
elected and they have held the two Of
fees since A contest was instituted in
the courts and the county court de
clared Lovewell and Rhodes elected.
The Circuit Court held to the contrary
and on appeal the Supreme Court of
Arkansas on July 13 sustained the
County Court and remanded the cases.
Gov. Davis thereupon revoked the
commissions of the lncumbents.
The report reaching here is that the
Driver and Bowen factions hold pos
session of the court house and refuse
to vacate, while Lowell and Rhodes
are supported by a strong armed fol-
lowing, and a clash is expected at any
time. Driver and Bowen, it is said,
dispute the authority of the Governor
to revoke their commissions. Feeling
runs high.
Don't Know 1t OHicialIy.
Little Rock Ark, July 24.-Upon his
return tonight from Lonoke county.
Gov. Davis stated that he had received
no advices indicating a threatened
civil war in Mississippi county, and
he had nothing to say concerning the
report of prospective trouble there.
The Governor stated he had not been
appealed to from any source to place
the county under martial law.
