good thing, but they have so many

that I hardly think they will get away
They are just like couple of children
and it is really necessary to hold them
in check to a certain extent for the pres
ent. Today Cole wanted to come right
to st. Paul to see State Auditor Dunn,
who has shown him much kindness and
for whom he has a strong feeling Of
friendship We had some difficulty in
persuading him that it would perhaps be
better to defer his trip to ST. Paul for
a few days. Both of the boys will prob
ably come to St. Paul for a few days.
1t Is likely that arrangements may be
perfected to have them go to work next
week, perhaps Monday
Warden Wolfer was also seen. but was
pressed for time and could only stop to
say a few words regarding the Youngers,
He said:
There is really nothing new in the
situation. We have not yet decided on
any employment for the Youngers. but
probably will do so very soon. For the
, present they will remain at the prison. -
An incident of pathetic interest in con-
nection with the release Of the prison
ers occurred when it became necessary
for Jim Younger to decide what he should
do with his pet canary bird, which has
shared his cell for the past twenty-three
years. Jim sent the bird to Mrs Wolfer.
toward whom he has a-feeling of deep.
est gratitude for favors received at her
hands. She hesitated to accept the pres
ent, and suggested that Jim take the
bird with him. but he insisted that the
canary had served its prison sentence
faithfully and was entitled to better
home than he would probably be able to
give it,

ciates. W. K. Vanderbilt, it ds said. will
be elected a Northern Pacific director
Conferences were again yesterday held
between the big interests in these prop
critics. Such progress has been made at
these conferences as to warrant the as
sertion that the policies of the several
important railways controlled by the fac
lions in the Northern Pacific contro-
versy have been agreed upon tentatively.
Announcements will be made by the
bankers as soon as possible, being de-
layed only by the fact that no definite
prediction can be made regarding the af
fairs of the corporations Stockholders
necessarily must vote on recommended
lions made by the large holders.

Fight to Finish Of
Union Against Trust.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 15.-The
Leader tomorrow will say:
A discussion yesterday of the prevail
ing strike of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron and Steel Workers brought
out the statement that it is due directly
to an effort of the management Of the
Carnegie Steel company to run its plant
half union and half non-union for the
coming year, after which it was the
intention to make all of the mills non
union, including those which have re-
Gently been absorbed.
Six weeks ago it became known that
the Carnegie company intended upon
July / to absorb the National Steel com
pany and the American Steel Hoop COM
pany. The Carnegie mills have not en-
ployed union labor since 1892 at the time
of the big strike. while the two mills
absorbed have always employed union
labor. The original intention was to keep
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-07-16

the fact Of this absorption quiet until
after the officers had signed the scale,
and then let the Carnegie company carry
out the contracts with the worRmen for
the first year. At the end Of the year
1t was to be determined whether the en-
tire list OF mills controlled by the Car
ne6le company should employ union la
Dor or whether no union men should ID
engaged. The effort was to be- SO 1t Is
understood now, TO inculcate Carnegie
non union principles into the entire or
ganization. The story Of the proposed
absorption, however, leaked out before
the time was ripe, and 1t is understood
that the struggle with labor was precip-
itated a year earlier than IL was expected
to occur on that account.
1t was said by men OF high standing
that since the fight has started II viii
be to a finish. and the result will DO
that the United States Steel corporation
will be union-ridden, or that the life %
the Amalgamated association should
come to violent end with the compile
ton Of this struggle.
