TROUBLE FEARED TODAY.
The Rochester Contractors TO At
tempt TO Resume Work.

ROCHESTER, y. Y. June 30.-The lead
ers Of the striking laborers spent the day
in strengthening the weak ones in their
ranks and on the opening of the seventh
week of the strike the differences between
the contractors and the laborers seem to
be as great, If not greater. than on the
opening days. Some of the men have
gone back TO work, but the strikers say
the only contractors who have men work
Ing for them are those who have signed
The agreement proposed by the laborers
The strike is now beyond settlement by
The strikers themselves. The Central La
Dor Union is now the body that has the
entire matter in charge. They have given
an ultinatum 70 the contractors In which
they say they viii not meet in conference
again. Nothing but complete acceptance
Of the original proposal, % cents an hour
and employment of only union men, will
be accepted
Several times last week the men were
ready to make concessions, but they can
DO so no longer. The contractors are as
firm as ever iu their position. They will
try 10 begin work tomorrow and the DO
lice look for trouble. The reserves are
called out for l.3D o clock in the morning
Many OF the strikers are known To be
armed, as they have been watched and
were seen to purchase revolvers at n
secondhand store. A clash now, the po-
kse realize, would be- far more serious
matter than the affair of last Wednesday

MORE STEEL MEN TO STRIKE.
The Hoop Makers Called Ont by Pes
ident Shaffer

PlTTSBURG. June 30.-Fifteen thou
sand union employees of the American
Steel Hoop Company will be notified to-
morrow morning to strike. Including the
men, union and unskilled, that were af-
fected by the open strike order sent out
on Saturday night from the Amalgamated
Associations headquarters here, $4,000
viii be idle, Is, coo of them being employees
of the American Sheet Steel Company.
The order for the steel hoop men to
strike would have been sent out today
had not President Shaffer. of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel. and
Tin Workers, formerly been a minister
and therefore averse, as he says, to do
ing business on Sunday. The calling out
OF the hoop men is not move in the
line of causing a strike in all the con-
stituent companies of the United States
Steel Corporation. That campaign, he
says, has not yet begun.
The hoop men were calledrout because
the hoop scale has not yet been signed,
and the contract in use during the past
twelve months becomes void at midnight
tonight. The chief product of the Ameri-
can Steel Hoop Company is cotton ties.
There are not many union mills in the
trade, as during the panic of few years
ago the manufacturers emancipated
themselves from union influence and ran
their mills nOn-union.
BY Skaters strike order four open
mills are affected, open mills being mills
that are not organized. but in which
Amalgamated men are permitted by their
union to-, work if they wish. and seven
union mills, in which non-union men are
not allowed.

IN CONFERENCE WITH GOMEZ.
Il. Estrada Paimn Talks With the
General Over Cuban Affairs.

NEW YORK, June 30.-Gen. Maxine
Gomez spent the greater part of today In
conference with Senior Tomas Estrada
Palma, at the WaIdorf-Astoria He main
tained the same silence as to the purpose
OF his visit as on his arrival on Saturday.
The party went to the Hotel Martin for
supper General Gomez discarded the
cool tropical raiment that he wore the
day before and appeared in a frock coat.
white double-breasted waistcoat, and
striped trousers.
Senor Palma and General Gomez had
had cong conference on Cuban affairs,
which. in fact. took up most of the day
Neither would divulge the exact nature
of their talk. 1t is imagined that General
Gomez is here to sound the head of the
hate Cuban junta on the question of his
candidacy for the Presidency of Cuba
General Gomez. who is himself a promi-
ncnt Presidential possibility, declared
himself recently in favor of Senior Estrada
Palma. But the latter has not evinced
any anxiety for the honor Unless he can
be induced TO commit himself ii is prob
able that General Gomez will remain in
the race.
When this subject was mentioned to
Senor Palma tonight he said: II would
rather not discuss the matter. 1t is too
early anyway, and the Cubans have
really not yet made up their minds as to
whom they desire for President"
General Gomez will leave the city to-
morrow morning with Senor Palma for

PROBABLE END OF A STRIKE.
Arbitration With Employers Ex-
pected to BE SuccessfrI 4.

The conference in this city yesterday
between the representatives of organized
labor and those of the National Cash
Register Company at Dayton, Ohio,
where there is strike of machinists and
metal workers, is likely to result in a
speedy adjustment of the differences ex-
isting. When the conference concluded,
after a short session in Typographical
Temple yesterday morning, Frank Morrf-
son, Secretary of TIE American Fedora
ton of Labor, stated that he looked for
settlement of the strike in short time.
f. c. Bickford and A. ]. Lanver. the
representatives of the Dayton Cash Regis
ter Company, departed for Dayton short
ly after 9 O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
They declined to discuss the conference,
bat admitted that matters were progress
ing satisfactorily and that they expect
ed settlement after they had made a re-
port of the conference to the officials of
the firm. In case their report is fayorably
received the firm VIII sign the nine-hour
agreement.
The conference began on Saturday, but
after conference of three hours no de-
cision was reached and the conference
was adjourned until yesterday forenoon
at 10 O'Clock. Those present were Mr.
Rickford and Mr.. Lanver. Frank Morri-
son, Secretary of the American Fedora
ton of Labor; John Mulholland, of the
International Association OF Allied Metal
Mechanics; ID. Douglas Wilson, CT the In
ternationIs Association of Machini5ts,
and Il. j. Lynch, of the Metal Polishers'
Bufers, Platers and Brass Workers
League of North America.
Each of the trades represented is en-
pioyed to a considerable extent in the
Dayton works. and all are affected by the
strike, which has been in progress since
May 70, when President James O'ConneII,
of the International Association of Ma
chinlsts, issued a strike order which af
fected all shops refusing to grant TO the
nachlnists a nine-hOur day scale with ten
hours pay. The other metal workers be-
came involved at Dayton and the situa-
tton grew so serious that the works were
finally closed. There has been a recent
effort 10 start them again The confer
ence was held at the solicitation of the
labor leaders, who were anxious to effect
a settlement.
The representatives of the National
Cash Register Company indicated to the
representatives of the trades what con-
cessions the firm was willing to make
The laber men stated their side of the
case and what they expected. 1t Is un-
derstooc that the conference yesterday
dealt mere generally with the machiniStS'
strike than anything else, but the differ
ences of all the crafts will probably be ad-
iuSted before any final settlement is made
with the machinists.

Striking shopmen Threaten to Call

SCRANTON. Pa, June 30.-A mass
meeting of all the striking employees of
the Lackawanna shops in this city was
held this afternoon in Carpenters Hall
Captain MeAndrews, of the Carbuilders'
Union, presided. The meeting was called
for the purpose of taking action on the
refusal of President Truesdale to confer
with a committee of his own workmen
from this city. After the meeting the
following statement was given out:
President Truesdale consented to con-
ference to be held last Monday, June %,
at his Office, IS Exchange Place, New
York That day he was met by Mr..
O'Connell, President of the Machinists,
and ]. NJ. Ford, member of the eXecu-
tive board of the same organization. Mr..
Truesdale postponed the interview until
Saturday, June 70. The above named met
at the office Of Mr.. Ford, at q Liberty

dale. At II O'Clock Mr.. Truesdaie sent
word that he would not meet them under
any consideration.

out the Kingsland shop the only machine
shop working on the Lackawsnna sys-
TEN, and adyices given the Scranton dele
gate present to make every effort to call
out everything on the Lackawanna, from
the sWitchmeR to the miners. Mr..
Mitchell has already guaranteed every
support to the strikers.
Two weeks ago a movement was started
to have the merchants in every town
reached by any other road to withdraw
their patronage from the Lackawanna.

NEW YORK. June 3O.-Tomorrow is the
beginning of the second half of the cal
endar year. and IT is the day when the
usual half-yearly interest and dividend
pavments will be made.
1t has been estimated that the combined
interest and dividend payments in this city
will amount to from $120,O 100000 TO sl25,-
100000. the largest on record for any July
and a striking evidence of the pros
perity of the agricultural, industrial, and
manufacturing interests of the country.
What the payments outside vof the city
will be it has been imp1s i5le to esti-
mate with any degree OF exactitude, but
there is no doubt that it vii be cores
pondingly large
A wear ago the interest due on bonds
having a face value of 81, ,307, ,O56.17S was

DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRE
AT LARAMIE PEAK

A forest fire has been burning for
ten days past in the hills south of Lar.
annie peak, says the Wheatland World.
The fire is on the eastern slope of the
range, west of G. G. VanOrtwick's
ranch, and has burned over a consid.
cradle scope of country at the northern
edge of the abandoned wood reserva.
ton. 1t has already destroyed much
valuable timber, together with a large
amount of good winters pasturage. The
ranchmen of that section have been
fighting the fire, but have not been sue.
cessful in putting it out, and it is doubt
full if they will be until a fall of snow
or rain m to their assistance. We
understand the government authorities
have been notified and probably a
special agent of the interior depart.
ment will take a hand in stamping out
the flames.
