Pittsburg July l.-As result of
the refusal of the representatives of
the American Sheet Steel company
and the American Steel Hoop comp
any, subsidiary companies of the
great United States Steel corporation,
to sign the workers new scale at Sat
urday's conference, circulars were
sent out from the national head
quarters of the National Amalgamat-
ed Association of Iron and Steel
Workers yesterday declaring strike
at the plants Of the two combines. The
great st ike is now on, but IL will be
several days b fore its actual extent is
known. At the outset however, more
than $1,000 men are involved.
The American Steel Hoopcompany's
main Offices are in this city. The
company has three non-union plants
in this city, and Il non-union plant AZ
Menessen and one at Duncanville,
though the employees of the latter are
ready for organization as soon as the
anal gamated people willtake them in.
Other plants of the company are
claimed by the amalgamated people
to be union.
What the strike Just inaugurated
may eventually lead to is problemati-
cal. Thee months ago when a strike
occurred in the wood plant of the
American Sheet Steel company at Me
Keesport, because the company re.

President Shalfer threatened If the
McKeesport strikers could not win
with their own strength he would order
a strike in every plant of the company.
If the latte: would not yield he ould
then call out the union men of the
United States Steel corporation. Such
. course would result in the biggest
strike the country has ever seen in
volving several hundred thousand
men.
For the first few weeks the situation

WALLACE CIRCUS UNExcELLEp. Only One Wallace Show, and It Is the
 Highest Class Circus.

A scrap book containing the comments
 of the press about an institution like
 that of the Wallace show which exhibits,
 is sure to make interesting reading. The | Wallace show travels about thirty thous-
 and miles each season, visiting every i'm portant city and large sized towns in from twenty to thirty states. The show
 invariably pleases the people, and some of the pencil pushers of the press become
 so enthusiastic regarding the show, that | this inspiration causes them to hit upon
 some quaint but apt descriptive phrases, | An editor of prominent country paper | in Georgia, gave the Wallace show an | extended notice of two columns, and then as leader in his editorial column, he | apologized to his readers for doing 1t, but gave as his excuse statement that | the thing never happened before and
 won't happen again unless the Wallace show returns" He referred to the ex-
 cellence of the show. The, town had been
 visited by all the big shows, none of which gave satisfaction. When the great
 Wallace show appeared, 1t easily won the
 enthusiastic applause. and permanent friendship of the populace. The cause of
 such an effect was that the Wallace show
 exhibits not only all 1t advertises, but
 more too.
 When the great Wallace show visited San Francisco, the people were surprised by it's magnitude, and pleased with the bright appearance. The fine horses. ex-
 pensive and handsome costumes. brilliant
 paraphernalia, the nickelplated stakes, and poles, the general style of the whole concern so moved the lady who is the
 amusement critic of the San Francisco
 Examiner, that in her review of the Wal lace show the following day she gave 1t
 the title of .rThe Fashion Plate Show
 Scranton, Pa., lively city of over one
 hundred thousand population, is owned
 by the Wallace show. so to speak. That
 city is visited annually by several big
 tented attractions. but it is always left
 for the great Wallace show to do the
 banner business. No matter what att
 traction might precede or follow 1t to
 Scranton, by single day, the Wallace
 show would get the crowd, and give the best satisfaction. Because of these con-
 ditions the Scranton Republican in head
 ing it's column and a half comment of the
 show, used the terse expression, "Only
 One Wallace Show There Is only one show that seems able to please the popu- lace of that state, and It is in class by itself, alone.
 While exhibiting in Indianapolis a few years ago, the general vim, ginger, style and the many pleasing qualities about the show moved the reporter of the In- dianapolis Journal to call the great Wal
 lace show, '-The Highest Class Circus in the World" The Wallace show was the third to visit that city during that sea- son, but 1t drew the largest crowd ever seen under canvass in Indianapolis and gave better satisfaction than any other similar organization, and we have had them all. The only one Wallace show, the high- | est class circus in the world, will exhibit | in Birmingham one day only, Thursday, | November T.

him alive for day or two very satisfac- torily. So it Is with the hay brick.
 Of course, all the hay sent to South Africa is compressed, and some idea of the extent to which such a process has been used may be gathered from a few figures. The space ordinaryily allowed Tor ton in ships hold is 40 cubic feet A ton of meadow hay occupies 200. Can adian hay, of which very large Quantities have been sent to South Africa. ia nress~ ed until a ton of 1t may be got into some 130 cubic feet. It Is possible, under in- creased pressure, to reduce this space to 50 or 60 feet. But the process of compress sion. when carried so far as this. spoiIs the quality of the hay The hay-brick requires special method of manufact- ure.
 A mixture Is made of bran. oats and hay. The resultant compound is then pressed until 35 cubic feet contain a ton of it. So far as this the method has no very striking originality. Compressed food of any kind can, 1t is clear be more easily utilized if 1t is divided into many small and easily-portable packages than if it forms one great mass. In order to turn the mixture into bricks" a portion Is placed between two iron plates. Pres sure is imposed to the requisite degree. Clamps are then bound round the plates.
 
 A brick which had to be carried about he tween two c1amped bits of sheet iron would give more trouble than ordinary fodder. On the other hand. some means must be found of restraining the inherent elasticity of the hay. It was discovered that the diff1culty might be overcome by heat.
 A truck load of hay-bricks, each still between it's clamps, is run into an oven, After being raised to a moderate heat, the truck is withdrawn, the clamps re- moved, and the bricks stand ready to be transported to the Soudan or the trans vaal or any place where one of the em- pire's little wars happen to be raging. After being tried in the fire, the brick weighs six or eight pounds, and measures some nine inches by four.
 It has been claimed that this idea of portable fodder for horses is a recent American invention. As to that 1t can only be said that whatever America may have invented recently, emergency ra- tions for horses are no new thing in England. They were being made at Portsmouth eight or nine years ago, and, as has been said. they were used in the Soudan campaigns. To the beautiful vis- ion conjectured up by an American jour- nalist of a Hght-hearted horse gallop1ng over the veldt with food for a month on his back no serious answer Is needed. No doubt Lord Kitchener would be glad to see this horse and the fozenge which he loves to well. The food specialist pro- poses, but the animal-horse or nnan-dis- poses. and 1t is no avail to tell Tommy or his steed that he ought to live for a month on a lozenge or brick, if Tommy and Tommy's steed alike incontinently die. If anyone wants a horse to, carry food for weeks on ifs back he must fn- vent the horse as well as the food.

"HAY-HRicks" FOR HORSES.
Favorable Reports of the Trial of an
 Emergency Ration for Cavalry.

From the London Telegraph.
 For some time past, when Mir. Thomas Atkins walks abroad on business. he has been Tn the habit of carrying a small tablet Known as an emergency ration
 which he Is supposed to preserve intact unth all other food fails him. and which,
 II all the tales about 1t are true he is not in the least likely to deyour before
 But the anxiety of a material govern ment Is not confined to It's men, and if is not surprising in these days. when an OK habitually enters teacou, that means should have been found to Eurn a truss or. so or hay into brick for the benefit Of the cavalry and artillery horses Ac- cording to an American paper, mounted men in the Transvaal and the PhilIp- pines go about provided with a string of hay 1ozenges. one of which provides a decent meal for any we'll regulated horse Of the Philippines this. story may or may not be true. but it is fairly obvious that if the hay lozenge satified all equine needs. we should not have heard SO much about the difficulties of finding forage on the veldt. The truth is, the hay.bricIx does exist; the hay lozenge may exist-in America. But unless the hay lozenRe ia more filling than the hay-brick. the horses who live on it in the Philippines have a short and miserable life. This does not mean that the hay-brick is valueless. If does provide sustenance of a kind. and 1t was largely used and It's utility proved in the Soudan. But horse has a large stomach, and. as a hay merchant obsery- ed, can't live on pills, however strong they are" Besides the brick of compress ed fodder, the animal requires something more bulky. The hay-orick serves well enough to tide over emergencies on long march, but as the daily bread of a horse on campaign it is not satisfying or sat- isfactory. In fact, 1t is practically in the same case as the emergency ration If Thomas Atkins were asked to live on emergency rations for six months, he would certainly grumble, and very pos sibiy fall sick. but the ration can keep
