Strike Settled Down to an Issue OF

Pittsburg. Sept. 2.-The big Labor
attention of workmen and strikers
here and in the surrounding towns,
but steel manufacturers went on maxi
ing preparations for the opening of
the plants that are shut down by the
strike, and increasing the number of
men at the mills already in partial op-
Grafton.
Public interest in the strike itself is
tagging as the contest seems to have
settled down to an issue of endurance.
Only the unusual incidents connected
with each days doings receive notice
by those not directly affected by the
struggle. Evidences of impatience are
cropping out on the side of the strik-
ers and fears are entertained that the
unlawful acts participated in by the
strikers last night and to-day about
the Star tin plant. may multiply and
spread to other quarters.
The officials of the Star plant claim

held up special delivery boy from the
postoffice with letter for the office
while he was coming down Twelfth
street, and inspected the letter before
he was allowed to proceed. The mat
ter was reported to the postal authori-
ties at once. 1t is also charged that
the strikers stoned the company car
riage on Pennsylvania avenue this
morning, but did no special damage to
the occupants.
The aggressiveness of the strikers
was further demonstrated late this af-
ternoon when a mob surrounded Will
liam Jones, a negro, who was mistaken
for non-union man from the Star
works. He made narrow escape from
serious injure and possibly death by the
appearance of Police Lieut.. Crossan,
who came to his rescue. Before Cros-
san could secure additional aid he was
diHlOSI overwhelmed Dy Lne large crOWd
that had gathered. The prompt arrival
of large force of officers probably
saved Jones from being lynched, as the
mob appeared to be a desperate one and
many demands were made that he be
strung up.
The failure of the Amalgamated peo-
pie to cripple the Carnegie open hearth
plant at Duquesne this morning is
looked upon by the steel officials as the
death blow of the strike, in the Car
negie mills, at least.
Last night the strike managers at
McKeesport announced that a march
would be made this morning to Du-
quesne and predicted confidently that
the men would not go to work, and
the entire plant would be tied up. This
morning no paraders appeared, the men
went to work, and the plant is in op-
Grafton as usual.
1t is more than probable that this
latest failure at Duquesne will have
the effect of making the strike mana
gers withdraw all efforts in that direc-

DAY OF REJOICING
FILIPINO MEMBERS OF PHILIPPINE
COMMISSION TAKE THE OATH.
INAUGURATED AT MANILA.
DE TAvERA AND LEGARDO ASSUME
THEIR NEW DUTIES.

Jose Luxuringa, the Third Filipino
Member of the Commission, Pre-
vented by Illness From Taking the
Oath of Omce-Appropriate Cere-
monies Marked the Occnsion--Civif
Governor Taft Halls the Event ms
the Beginning of Autonomy for
the PhiliDpines-De Tavera Praises
the American Government-The
Constitution Will Follow the Flag.
Manila, Sept. 2.-There were .appro-
PIRATE ceremonies in the palace this
morning at the inauguration of DR..
Pardo de Tavern and Benito Legardo
as members of the Philippine Commits
sion. Jose Luzuriaga, the third Fill
pino member. was to have taken the
oath of Office at the same time, but
was unable to do so owing to illness.
Civil Governor Taft said to-day that
the ceremony does not fully complete
the government the President intends
forming. but sufficient has been done
to show the nature of the policy to be
followed. Municipal governments
have been generally formed of SUBJ
stantially autonomous character.
Their officers are entirely natives. The
provincial governments are partly
American and partly Filipino Now.
the Philippine Commission is partly
American and partly Filipino, 1t being
the purpose of the President to form
government in which the native ele-
ment will be able to voice the desires
n he hat
necessities, and give the Filipinos an
example of American institutions and
customs and laws prevailing in the
United States.
The happiness of the people will re-
suit from practical government and not
from theories on the part of many Fill
pino gentlemen who appear to desire to
multiply the difficulties of the govern
ment by creating new parties to en-
body political theories, when they
might more profitably advance their
country's welfare by devoting their
time and talents to amending and i'm
proving the laws of the legally consti-
tuted body. There will be time enough
for theories when the government is
running smoothly.
Yesterday was the anniversary of the
beginning of legislative work. The
commission will have worked hard and
much will have been accomplished IL
they feel they have advanced with the
same progression a year hence, and will
be assured of the success of their ef-
forts
DR.. deTavara said that hardly had
the people begun to appreciate the work
of pacification than they were accord
ed the institutions of peace. The enc
my of the evening before began the
next morning to aid their adversaries
in building roads and houses and in
Producing acts of peace. The, day was
not far distant when the Filipinos
would enter legislative body for the
Islands, elected by the people. Con-
ditions prevent the elections at present.
The Filipinos consider to- day to be sol
emn and grand because it is the first
time they have been given part in the
supreme government. They believe
that the day is coming when the
American constitution as a whole,
without amputations, will be planted
here as the flag now is.
The other commissioners also took

LABOR DAY IN ATLANTA.
Fatal Accident Mars Occasion Other
wise Perfect.


Atlanta, Sept. 2.-The celebration of
Labor Day in Atlanta to-day was
probably one of the most imposing
events of the kind ever known in the
South. Everybody in the city seemed
to make a holiday of it. Besides the
public buildings and banks, stores were
closed, and the daily routine Of work
was suspended almost everywhere.
The Capitol was closed tight almost
all day, and after IL o'clock not one
of the officials was to be found in his
office. The parade was the feature OF
the morning, an dwas the most elabor-
ate that has ever been attempted by
organized labor here or perhaps any
where else in the South
1t was more than mile long, and
traffic, street cars and everything else,
was suspended while it was passing.
There were floats in the parade rep
resenting all classes of organized labor
and numerous industries.
The parade was followed by exercises
at Grant Park in the afternoon. After
a brief address by President Dennis
Lindsey, of the Atlanta Federation of
Trades, speeches were made by Gov.
Gambler, Mayor Minis, and by c. T.
Ladson. orator of the day.
There was musici interspersed and
several addresses were made by visit
ing labor leaders.
There were sporting events at the
public parks and the entire day was
made one of pleasure and enjoyment.
There was only one casualty to mar
an otherwise perfect day. John FL
lott, the 12-year-old son of Thomas
Elliott, chief electrician of the Atlanta
Railway and Power Company, fell from
the Electric float which represented
that company in the parade and was
ground to death under the wheels. He
was sitting on the front of the float and
fell off on to the track. 1t was impos-
sible to stop the car which went nearly
100 feet after his fall. His death was

member of the mission said that EN-

tion said also that the mission would

That the Convention Was Compos-
ed of Aliens, Negroes and Camp
FOllowers"-No Moral Right, in the
Face of Such a Precedent, Requires
Submission of Constitution to the
Negroes of the State-Let Charac-
ter and Intelligence Rule.
Richmond, Va, Sept. 2.--The leading
feature of the session of the Constitu-
tional Convention to-day was the
speech of Delegate Ayres. favoring the
submission of the constitution to an
abridged electorate. The actions of the
carpetbag government, he said, offered
a perfect and apparently legal prece-
dent for this action.
Delegate Pedigo of Henry county,
when the convention convened, moved
that it adjourn in honor of Labor Day.
The motion was lost, only Mr.. Pedigo
and one other member voting aye, On
motion of Mr.. Petit the convention re-
solved itself into Committee of the
Whole, and Mr.. Ayres of Wise county
was recognized. a
Mr.. Ayres said he would vote to sub
,,o{+ +ba yaur oono+itY+ion 70 m n abridoad
electorate. He was opposed TO any act
which would in any way abridge the
rights of the negro, or which would
conflict with any constitutional federal
provision. He had no quarrel with the
unfortunate negro race, that was here
without it's own volition. Virginia had
been the first state to take action
against the importation of negroes. z
Gen. Ayres sent to the clerks desk
and had read the various acts of Con-
gress concerning the reconstruction pc
riod, and the holding of the Underwood
convention. He showed that ~ those
acts "the flower of Virginia manhood
was disfranchised, with the result that
the convention was composed of aliens.
negroes and camp followers.
The Underwood constitution had been
submitted to an abridged electorate, and
no man would assert that there was
any moral right which required the
work of the present convention to be
submitted to the negroes of the state.
Flower of Virginia Manhood.
Gen. Ayres outlined a suffrage plan
in the course of his speech. He favor
ed a council of three for each magis-
terial district in the state, which board
of council should have charge of the
registration of all who desired to ex-
ercise the right of suffrage. Voters
should have character, be familiar with
the duties of citizenship under republf-
can form of government, no property
qualifications, no poll tax or other ed
ucational qualification other than that
to be exercised by the registration
boards.
The boards would be partisan, though
the Republicans were to have repre-
sentation. When negroes fitted them
selves for citizenship, the boards could
register them. This plan, he thought,
was constitutional.
Resolutions were presented by various
members protesting against sectarian
appropriations and in favor of regulat-
ing the liquor traffic.
