STEEL TRUST AND STRIKERS
NOW ABLE TO COUNT FORCES

, Pittsburg, Pa. Aug. 12.-The strike
against the steel trust is now on as far
as it Is likely to go, and for the first
time there is an opportunity to deter
mine the exact number of men idle
under the two orders of Shaffer-the
first of July 18th, the last Of August
10th. ,,
The number of men now out in all
affected departments Of the United
States Steel Corporation does not ex-
ceed 10000. The officials Of the Anal
gamated association had hoped for as
many as 100000. They are facing,
therefore. serious disappointment.
Shaffe first order affected the men
Of the American Steel Company, the
American Steel Hoop Company and
the American Tin Plate Company.
The mills of these companies had been
thoroughly unionized, and, with the
exception of perhaps 1000 men, every
Amalgamated man quit his work, car
rying with him those whose labor de-
pended on his skill. Although the
Amalgamated association claimed that
G5,0O0 were idle, the conservative esti-
mate of the number is closer to 10000.
The second order, after the failure
Of the New York conference of August
Sd, applied to the men Of the Federal
.Eteel Company, the National Steel
Company and the National Tube Com
pany.
The Holly chieftain., 1901-08-16

The Carnegie Steel Works and the
American Bridge Company were not
touched.
The strength of the strike, therefore,
does not depend on the number Of
men who could be brought out of the
Federal Steel Company, the National
Tube Company and the National Steel
Company. The Amalgamated men in
the employ of the Federal Steel Com
pany refused to strike.
OF the National Tube Company's en-
plOyes, there obeyed Mt Mckeesport
G,OO0 men. at Wheeling 6,OOO, II total
of 1900 men. A total of 1910 men
obeyed the call. OF the National Tube
men 5000 are still at work, and of
Federal Steel $4,000 disObeyed--a total
of 1900 disobeyed.
II Shnlfer's first call brought out
$4,000 the total number now out on
strike is approximately 6S,4OO. By
Shaffer's efforts within the next few
days the number may be run up to
10000.
II shall get returns from the call by
Wednesday, and then shall be able
to determine just how many men came
cut and how many refused" said Pres
ident Shaffer. ''The fight will go on.
Although still hope for arbitration,
know of no efforts now that could
bring it about"

INCREASING OUTPUT
OF COLORADO COAL

Washington, Aug. 13.-Colorado is
now unquestionably at the head of the
coal-producing states west of the Mis-
sissippl river, the position heretofore
held by Iowa.
The total product of the state for
1900, as shown by report now being
prepared by the geological survey,
was 5,244,384 short tons, valued at $o,-
R5S,036. With an increased production
at 46S, ,14O short tons In 1900 over 1888,
the state attains production exceed
ing 5,OOO,OOO for the first time in Its
history. Colorado also advances from
ninth to seventh in the rank OF all
coal-producIng states. 1t la closely fol-
lowed by Iowa, with 5,237, ,G42 short
tons, and Kentucky with $50, 113
tons In 1900. The increase in value of
the product In 1900 over that of 1888
was In exact proportion to that OF the
product, there being no change In the
average price per ton, $1.12. There
was, however, an increase of nearly
fifty per cent. in the amount of coal
mined by machines, of which the oper-
ators received the benefit In lieu Of
Yn advance In the selling price of the
Goal.
The number Of machines In use In
creased from 63 in 1899 to 90 In 1900,
and the machine mined tonnage in
creased from t27, ,115 short tons to 75G.-
O25 short tons. In 1903 the number of
tons mined by machines IN Colorado
was only 225. 5.046 short tons. The ma

goal. Score to 0 in favor of Vir-

Eveleth again kicks off, and Vir-

The reports of the teachers for the
first month of school show a total
enrolment of !6O2 pupils. Last year
the total for same period was $50,
gain OF 40 pupils. The primary
grade is in very crowded condi-
ton, over 80 pupils being registered.
1t is impossible to accommodate
this number at one time, therefore
only half day sessions are held. All
the remaining rooms are in excel
lent condition.
TX
The high school consists of "a
regular pupils, and several who
have not yet completed the eighth
grade studies. The work that is be-
ing done in the different depart
ments is of the highest type and
will compare very favorably with
other schools throughout the state.
Xxx
The new supplies for the advanc-
ed chemistry have arrived, and now
the high school pupils have as COM
plete laboratory as can be found
in the state. Before the close of the
schools, pupils will have completed
a course which will prepare them
to analyze any ores by the best SCI
entitiC methods.
*
Parents and business men are re-
questeo to visit the schools and see
the work that is being done. It en-
courages teachers in their work to
have parents take interest enough
in the education of their children to
visit the rooms and ask concerning
the work of their children, The
Board of Education has made il
possible for pupil to 80 prepare
himself in the local schools for his
life work. What more can the pub
lie schools do for a community? All
admit that an education is the
greatest thing that can be given to
a child; yet how few there are who
really assist in cultivating the fac
ulties of the school children along
these lines.

It was expected he would be

NEW YORK, March 9.-There was

opening, but the general market was
quiet and irregular with narrow
changes both ways. Chesapeake &

Sugar was carried down an extreme 1as
on the sale of 5000 shares. The open
ing sales of Chesapeake & Ohio were

Price movements became more var
liable and in special cases quite wide.

there were declines of 1 to 21a in Hoop
