The action OF the Ohio Board of Arbitra-

except by the complete backdown of one
side or the other on a matter of principle.
The situation throughout this district re-
mains practically as announced early in the
day. In the immediate vicinity of Pitts
burg the evident intention of the company
to attempt the reopening of the Deweese-
Wood plant at Mckeesport is the only in
cident so far calculated TO cause uneasi-

the early return TO town of many OF the

every precaution in order TO cope with any
trouble that may arise.

Philadelphia Special TO New York Tribune.
Theodore J. Shaffer, the directing head of

Pennsylvania and in time into the Wes-
Ieyan Theological Seminary That led him
into the ministry. and by stages back into
a rolling mill again. whence he was called
TO become president OF the Amalgamated
Association. President Shaffer is one of
those unfortunately brilliant men whose
physical resources are inadequate TO main

and versatile mentality.

TRIPLE SCREW CRUISERS.
They May BE Able to Steam 10000
Miles Without RecoaIing.

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-The plans now
under consideration for the two new
armored cruisers authorized by Congress
contemplate such a new departure in
steaming capacity that these ships will be
able to make voyages far exceeding any
made by the ships now in commission and
equaling If not exceeding the ong-distance
trips of any naval warship afoat Although
the plans are not finally passed upon, the
main features are we'll worked out. They
provide for a combination of three screws
so separated that any one can work In
depndently. BY using all three screws the
ship could develop great speed, from TWEEN
ty-two to twenty-three knots. so that she
would be listed a twenty-three-knot ship.
But all three screws would be used only in
case of emergency. For the purpose Of
making long voyages only one screw would
be used at time. 1t is estimated that this
would give a speed of ten knots an hour.
BY alternating the screws the big craft
could make voyage of at least 10000 miles
without a stop TO recoal. and at the same
time she would always have three screws
in readiness TO develop a twenty-five or
twenty three-knot speed in case of neces-
Sity.

Manager Beard Corrects Statement.

MUNCIE, Ind, July 1S-Manager Beard,
of the Midland steel works of the American
Sheet Steel Company. said to-day: The
press reports saying that on account of the
strike the sheet steel company suffers a
decreased output of 700 tons per day, caus-
ing a loss to them of $4,000 per day, are
very wild. AS the total market value of
700 tons of steel sheets is only $4,000 and
as the wage earners who work in sheet
mills would get S11. 600 OF this sum l don't
see how the company can lose $4,000. All
they can lose is their profit and fixed
charges, which would be not over 5000
per day on the tonnage mentioned. In all
such cases the burden falls harder on the
laborer.
