OFFERS TO ARBITRATE
President Shaffer Is Willing to Set
tie Differences Thus.

HresAuent Shaner Is wiling TO SET
tie Differences Thus.
Pittsburg, Aug 12.-The strike order of
the Amalgamated association went into
effect Saturday evening In a speech at
Newcastle, President Schaffer said:
In our willingness to settle the matter We
are ready to arbitrate. Let the Amalgamated
Association select one man and let the trust
select one, the two to select the third. We
will abide by the decision of the three. l
wish this to be generally known.
On Friday an offer to arbitrate was formal
ly submitted to the United States Steel cor
poratiOn. The offer was made to j. Pierpont
Morgan, whose reply rejecting it was: This
is no time for arbitration"
When the strike edict of the AmaIga-
mated association went into effect every
mill of the National Steel company, the
Federal Steel company, and the National
Tube company, became union. Upon
the entrance of ali the mills was posted
this notice:
"Notice-This mill will start non-union
Monday morning"
The reports of the officials of the steel
corporation showed that South Chicago.
Joliet and Bayview, at Milwaukee, had
voted to stay in; that the Ohio works OF
the National Steel company at Youngs-
| town and the King, Gilbert & Warner
EN~NS u INC 4NdbAOudl OIS0I company at
Columbus had resumed without trouble;
that the Homestead, Edgar Thompson,
Duequesne, Upper and Lower Union and
Howard Axle works of the Carnegie group,
employing more than $4,000 men, had re-
sumed work without trouble; that the
| converting and blooming mills of the Ma
tlonal Tube company at McKeesporte had
started without difficulty and that Bellaire
had been only partially crippled.
They were also advised that the men
OF the Boston Rolling mills at McKees-
/ port had notified the National Tube COM
pany that they would go out and that.
while the National Tube plant at McKees-
! port would be started many men
would go out. They were also notified
| that their Wheeling plants were crippled
and that it was uncertain what would be
| done there.
| According to a conservative estimate
| it is believed that the refusal of the steel
workers at Chicago, Joliet and Milwaukee
to obey President Shaffer's general strike
order will reduce the number of new
strikers to about 5000, distributed as fol-
| lows:
National Steel-Newcastle, 1900; Mingc
! Junction, 1900 Total, $500.
Idle annual tonnage of these plants, 300, ,OO(
tons.
National Tube-Boston Rolling Mill, 425
Elba Iron Works. $50; Republic Iron Works
! 1,510; Riverside Iron and Tube Works l 200
! Total, 4,O95.
Idle annual tonnage, 291, 500 TONS

Attempt May Be Made to Call Out
American Steel Co. Men.


Cleveland, Aug. 12.-At the plants of
the United States Steel corporation that
were closed as result of President Shat
fer's first strike order, all was quiet to-
day. At the Crescent plant of the Ameri-
can Tin Plate company a large force Of
carpenters is at work on the building be-
ing erected inside the high fence which
surrounds the mill to be used as board
ing-house for the nonunion men. The
management announced to-day that the
mill will be started possibly by to-mor-
row or Wednesday. The Amalgamated
people are watching developments at this
point very closely, as it will no doubt
prove to be the storm center of the strug-
gle in Cleveland A party of twelve or
fifteen colored men arrived here to-day
from the south. 1t is said these men will
go to work in the tin plate mill.
Vice President Ward of the Amalga-
mated association reiterated the state
ment to-day and unless the strike is soon
settled, an effort will be made to bring
out all the men employed in the mills of
the American Steel company In this city,
which have as yet not been affected.
These mills employ about 5000 men.

Indianapolis, Aug. 12.-The proposition to

attorney generals office in which it is de-

the United States Steel Corporation to exist
just as 1t does the right of any college or
church, or any ordinary manufacturing com
pany or railroad corporation, and it is de-
clared that combinations of capital in the
form Of ordinary corporations are not legally
trusts, and such corporations are not in
themselves unlawful.

Friday and Saturday of last week this
committee was busy organizing. Then It
employed counsel in Washington and ar
ranged for plan of campaign to bring
the attorney general of the United States
into line with the antitrust movement.
Martin was in frequent communication
with former Attorney General Monnett of
Ohio by wire, and finally arranged that
Monnett should come here for the purpose
of heading the committee when If should
visit the attorney general, to-day or to-
morrow, and making the principal speech.
1t will be claimed by this Committee
that the steel trust is criminaHy yio-
lating the laws of the land, both state
and national, and that it is the duty of the
federal government to cooperate with
state authorities everywhere in an af-
fort to punish It, There will be no threats
or intimation of threats at this inter-
view. The attorney general will be LEFT
free to make up his mind without pres
sure of any kind. Under the Sherman
antitrust law, proceedings are discre-
tionary with the attorney general. If.
as is expected by Mr.. Martin and his CO.
workers, the attorney general declines

Of many things we may be absolutely

that water quenches fire. We know these

experience.
An intelligent person puts oil into a
lamp feeling absolutely certain il will

suppose he poured into the lamp some
other fluid resembling oil in appearance,
but of the nature of which he had no
knowledge. There would be no certainty
about the results and they might be dis
astrous and even fatal.
The argument is precisely the same
in regard to medicines Every intelli-
gent reader knows that Hoods Sarsapa-

these diseases. He therefore takes this
medicine with perfect confidence that he
will derive from it the benefit he de-
sires
But suppose the druggist offers him
instead of Hoods Sarsaparilla a bot
tie of his own preparation. He has never
heard of it before. He knows nothing
