GIVEN UNTIL JULY 10.
National Founders Association to
Make Definite Answer.

Chicago. July AT a conference be-
tween representatives OF the National
Founders association and the Iron
N1olders' union the employers asked for
time to consider the propositions before
a strike should be ordered. They were
granted until Wednesday, July 10, on
which date they promised to give a
definite and final answer. The confer
ence then adjourned and the national
officers win leave for their homes to-
day.
Two propositions are under consider
ation one for a straight minimum wage
scale of $3.50 a day and the other for
differential of 10 cents a day between
bench and floor nnolders, making the
minimum scale 1915 for bench molders
and 81 IS for floor molders. The pres
ent scale is $3.50 and STE a day and the
men are DESTROYS Of wiping out the
differential altogether and placing both
classes of Workmen on an equal foot
ing.
As the manufacturers are opposed to
that plan the union officials made the
two propositions.
President Martin Fox said after the
conference that if the demands sub
n1itted are not granted q strike will be
called.

BLOW AT ZINC TRUST.
BondhOIders After Cherokee
LanyOn SpeIter Company.

Leavenworth. July 3-The first blow
at the zinc smelter trust was struck
yesterday when Judge Hook of the
United States circuit court appointed
Robert Nesch receiver of the Pittsburg
and st. Louis Zinc and Lead company.
The suit for the creation OF the re-
ownership was filed Monday at Fort
Scott, Kan, and Will be tried at that
place. although the order was made at
Leavenworth, where Judge Hook is sit
ting. The proceeding is brought by At
torneys WOllman, Solomon and Cooper
of Kansas City for Allen W Esvarts of
New York against the Pittsburg and St.
Louis Zinc and Lead company and the
Cherokee anyon Spelter company.
Mr. Evarts is trustee for the bond
holders of the old Pittsburg and St.
Louis company, and the effect of the
suit win be to foreclose two mortgages
aggregat1ng $40 600, Which We're given
by tie concern to secure its bonds.
The Pittsburg and St. Louis company
was absorbed with a number of other
concerns by the Cherokee-Lanyon COM
pany year ago last spring The latter
company, which is alleged TO be trust
gave a blanket mortgage for $500, 600 on
ali of its properties to secure its bonds
and the Pittsburg and St. Louis COM
panys plant was included.
The Pittsburg and st. Louis company
owned a zinc sTnelter at Pittsburg Kan,
in which coal was used as fuel. A year
ago last spring a combination WAS eff
fected by which the smelling properties
of the two Ianyon interests at Pitts
burg were consolidated. with a half
million dollars capitalization, and the
gas lands of the Kansas Oil and Gas
company in the lola gas district We're
bought in In addition control of
practically all the gas properties at lola
and La Harpe, Kan, was secured and
the erection of big gas smelters for
smelling zinc ore into spelter, as it is
known commercially. was begun. AS
fast as the smelling capacity at lola.
was increased to equal the capacity of
the coal smelters, the latter were abRn-
doned, with the result that the smelterS
at Pittsburg are dead today
The smelter of the Pittsburg and st.
Louis company, which was built at
cost of SIS, 900. has been lying idle for
about a year, as q result of the transfer
of the operations of the alleged smelling
trust to lola. The coal shelters which
were operated by the canyons at Ne
vada, Mo, were almost entirely aban-
doned as well, and other points at which
coal shelters were formerly operated
have suffered by the organization of
the trust.
When the Cherokee-Lanyon company
assumed control of the Pittsburg and
st. Louis company's smelters it assumed
the mortgages on the plant. The first
mortgage was for SIS 900 and the second
for $4,000. Both fell due and in each
failed to pay them off. The bonds had
been sold in New York and Mr.. Evarts,
the trustee for the bondholders. deeid-
ed to bring suit to fOreclose the mort
cages and to place the property in the
hands of & receiver.

Hull Calls Them.

Manila. July 3--Congressman Hull Of
Iowa, who accompanied General Chat

ernments as ..hot-house plants, unable

the correspondent Of the Associated
Press that there win be many difficult
ties under the dual civil military gov
eminent which viii be inaugurated to-
morrow. MT Hun believes that their
natural richness ensures tire eventual
prosperity of the islands, but he is con-
WINGED, from conversation with the gov
errors and army officers that in the
new southern provinces poverty and
other obstacles Will prevent the sue
cessful collection OF land taxes. He
believes that the salaries excepting
those Of the clerks and mine employees
are too high, from the commissioners
downward, and that the provinces
ought to have far larger areas and
fewer officers. The United States
commissioners agree with this
but have deferred to the wishes of the
inha bitants-
Mr.. HUI approves of the provincial
laws but Is Of the opinion that the bulk
Of the territory should be under mill
tary government until absolutely pacf-
fed and cleared of ladrones. He is con-
WINGED the natives in general are not
concerned about the government.
These views are typically those 1f
the generality OF army officers. The
American civilians. as a rule are not
inclined to await fair trial of exper-
iment of partial self government and
they are not in favor of any removals
of troops.
Gen. Sumner urges that the native
police Of Tayabas province ought to be
disarned or controlled by military
governor.
Col Gardiner Of the province insists
upon controlling the police. The pend-
ing bill for the organization Of entire
insular policy provides for civil con-
troll of the police, and army officers
predict clashes unless the military con-
troll the police in the disturbed LOCALE
