President Fahey replied warmly for

that if a mistake had been made the

then offered requesting all the strikers
to report for work today, and if they

was adopted by an almost unanimous
vote A motion to declare officially the

STRIKERS OPEN TO A PROPOSITION,
So 1t Is Said at Pittsburg-San Fran
cisco Tied Up by the Transfers
Garment Workers Are Out.

Pittsburg, July 23.-The expected
did not happen yesterday. Neither of
the looked-for programmes for Wells
vile or McKeeSport was carried out.
At Wellsville the importation OF men
failed to materialize and at Mckees-
port the attempt to resume at the
Devices Wood tube plant was not
made At both points, which are con-
sidered by each side to be the strike
centers, the situation is in statu quo,
neither of the parties to the contro-
versy havinggmade any decided move.
From the other important point, Dun
cansville, conflicting reports are re-
ceived. and the result of the quiet
struggle going on between the Ameri-
can Steel Hoop company and the
Amalgamated Association is still I'M
certain, with the cOmpany'S chances
probably better for winning in the end.
Bulletin Issued by the Strike Leaders.
Late yesterday afternoon the ANAL
gamated Association issued it's first
strike bulletin from the general offices.
The bulletin is printed in the Anal
gamated Journal office, and is in
tended to give the members Of the or
ganizatiOn official news concerning the
progress of the strike. In the future
it will be issued on each Monday
morning, and was followed by the
regular issue of The Journal during
the latter part of the week.
The bulletin of yesterday gives an
outline of the conditions prevailing
and reproduces abstracts of President
Skaters recent addresses at Wells
vile and McKeespOrt, and its most
pointed statement is asfollows: '"There
were not enough men in the country
to run the mills before the strike, so
all you need to do to win the strike is
don't work. Enjoy your summer
shutdown, it means more work next
winter. That is the time for mill
work, anyhow"
Suggestion of am Olive Branch.
There has been no change i'll the
arbitration or mediation movements,
so far as the officials of the association
are aware. The hope is still general
among these officials, however, that B
way will be found to bring about set
Element Of the difficulties. President
IShaffer has never yet declared that
there was no possibility Of concessions
on the part of the Amalgamated AS
sociation. When asked his opinion on
this matter yesterday he replied that

was a deserter; no sane man would thus
court instant death. The men on the
Union lines held their breath and waited
to see what he would do. into the very
midst of the company he dashed. The
enemy seemed paralyzed at his affront-
cry. In an instant he had wrested the
company colors from the bearer. With
his revolver he shot down a man who
would have stopped him. and, an instant
later, he was springing across the open
toward the Union lines. A rain OF bullets
followed him; he staggered and fell, but
was up again. The Confederate from
whom he had snatched the colors left
his friends and attempted to overtake
the flying Union soldier. 1t seemed that
the latter would still escape, but when
he was about a hundred yards from his
goal he fell headlong, but still clasping
the standard. Friends were quickly at
his side. Senseless and bleeding, ap-
rarently dead, he was dragged to place
of safety. The confederate bearer who
had followed was obliged to surrender.
Many weeks later George Roosevelt was
discharged from the hospital and ap-
peared at the capitol on clutches.

Tt was not until 1878 that George Roose-

commanded recognition. and he was at

he was offered proved to be Auckland.
He was told it was likely place, and
that he had better try it. He liked it 50

politics and history Of the United States.
The crutches of Mr.. Roosevelt have been
replaced by an artificial leg, which is
the wonder and delight of the Belgian
capital.
The people there know that the
American consul has but one real leg,
but so perfect is the artificial one and
so adept is it's owner in its use that 1t
is practically impossible to tell which
is the real and which the artificial
product Consul Roosevelt goes walking
daily and it is not uncommon for the
Belgians to follow at a respectful dis
lance to witness his marvellous achieve
ment in the walking line and to make
small wagers on which is the artificial
leg. The Belgian king is slightly de-
formed in one leg, and it is said that
it was a fellow feeling on this subject
which led to an acquaintance with the
consul.
Consul George Roosevelt is one of the
few officials in the service whose pre-
eminent abilities and qualifications for
the work have shielded him from polit-
ical influences which would have
brought about his removal. He held Of

value of the food: the strong cry is like
the voice of the Waterman In the dark
ness, crying: "AlFs we'll" but the puny
child utters only puny cry, showing if
we may use the term, a low head Of
steam comparing the cry to a steam
whistle and the child to the boiler, while
food is the fuel. To elaborate the anal
ogy we may compare food to the oil
used for lubricating machinery. Giving
a child innutritious food is like oiling a
heavy engine with watch oil; giving it
too rich and abundant food Is like oiling
a watch with axle grease; the one leaves
the engine to wear itself out by friction;
the other stops the works by clogging
them. Thousands of children brought Up
by hand die from insufficient food, either
in quality or quantity; on the other hand
thousands die because they are overfed
with too rich food; the stomach Is sur
feited and overwhelmed with a flood Of
food which passes in a stream through
the body by way of athe bowels and the
little baby starves to- death in the midst
Of plenty. Quality and quantity of food
must, therefore, be studied and measured
by experience in each case and rules be
ignored If they are injurious. For eX-

An Early Escape.
One eseapade connected with his court
ship nearly earned him court-martlal.
He had taken Frencn leave of his regl-
ment in order to visit his sweetheart. Inc
call was unknown to the parents and 1t
was necessary at one stage of the pro-
ceedings to scale a garden wall. A shot
in the leg was received in the operation,
which embarrassed his return to camp,
and necessitated explanations which

those in authority decided to wink at
the breach of discipline.
AT another time George Roosevelt was
shot under very different circumstances.
Gle has been shot so often he has about
lost count). When he first took hold Of
the consular work at Bordeaux it be-
came his duty to report to the stae de-
partment certain practices of the French
merchants. He found that they were
adulteradng their wines for the Ameri-
can market, and that American wines
were being sent back from Bordeaux
dealers heard of his intention to make
the report they were furious, and one
of the most prominent iones threatened
to shoot him if he did so. Roosevelt
as he was walking down the main street
man sprang out upon him and shot
him. The bullet fortunately struck his
arm and the wound proved not to be Sc
rious. The next day the American con-
sui was out for his walk as usual He
was a trifie pale and his arm was in

around and, from being very much dis

much interested in this official that he

social game. At first Col. Roosevelt

the common idea is that the proper ana

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. s-George
w. Roosevelt, United States consul at
BRUSSELS, Belgium, is own cousin to the
president Incidentally, Consul Roose-
Welt has a record as a soldier of which
his more honored relative might be
proud. During the Civil war he fought
for his flag in very literal sense. At
the battle of Bull Run, Aug. 80. 1862, he
captured, single-handed, the colors of his
regiment, which had been seized by the
enemy; and at the battle of Gettysburg,
July q 1868, he captured a Confederate
color bearer and color, and was SO Sc
verely wounded that he was not expected
to live He now wears an artificial leg
as a memento of that experience. For
these signal acts of bravery in action he
was awarded a medal of honor July 2,
1887.
The capture of the Confederate colors
at Gettysburg is accounted by those who
witnessed it one of the most reckless and
brilliant deeds of the war. The batsl
had ragged fiercely for many hours. The
lines were closely drawn, and both sides
had alternately been forced to give
ground.
An open field divided the firing lines
Suddenly man was seen to leave the
Union lines and start on a run toward a
group of confederate soldiers who were
r9llying about the company colors. Both
sides watched him iii amazement. The
confederates thought for the moment he
