Pittsburg, Aug. 23.-The strikers
claim that five men left the Star tin
plate mill this morning and joined their
ranks. They say that two engineers, a
roll turner and blacksmith and his
helper walked out of the plant refusing
to work with the non-union men the

for the east returned this morning.
Mr.. Black refused to be interviewed
regarding the report that he had been
summoned to New York by the Steel
corporation regarding the stand he had
taken on the McKeesport strike and in
upholding the strikers. He would
neither deny nor affirm the story.
One of the first things he did after
arriving at his Office was to give the
strikers a permit to parade tomorrow
afternoon.
The permit gives the strikers permits
sion to parade over all the principal
streets of the city. Several thousand
many brass bands. The strikers, it is
said, viii march to Duquesne and

Presidents Mitchell, White and Shat
fer left about noon for the Amalga-
mated headquarters where they were
cIoseted for some time. Ralph Easley
stated that his business with President
Shaffer was not connected with the
strike. He knew OF no propositions for
peace. President Mitchell declined to
say what action was likely to be taken,
only admitting that plans for the aid of
the strikers cause We're to be consid-
cred.
AT the recent meeting of the general
executive board of the United Mine
Workers, the sympathy strike project
was voted down but 1t was unanimous

association financial and moral support

tial treasury and would be able to sup
port all the men thrown out OF en-
ployment if the plan suggested is car
ried out
The conference adjourned for lunch
at 1 o'clock, but none of the partici-
pants would talk.
Another session will be held this

STARTING A NEWSPAPER.
Frederick Greenwood in The London
Times.l

Frederick Greenwood in The London
Times.l
The origin of THE Pail Mall Ca
zette" was the purchase of an old book
in Holborn Bars. The book was com
plete copy OF Canning's .Antf-Jacobin'
in its original newspaper form. The
purchaser of the book was myself: and
thought of THE Saturday Review in
truded Chat journal was then at the
topmost height of it's reputation. and
thereupOn came this idea: Make as good
a com animation of the two as the cur
rent supply of mind allows, throw in a
scrap or two OF novel feature" mix
with an eye to the needs and demands
of the hour, publish every day, and you
will have a new thing that ought to be
a power and a glory. Stated in outline
that was the hopeful idea, which would
have been yet more hopeful but for a
suspected lack of Cannings, Pitts and
Freres in the availa BILE talent of the
time. Yet all that was quantity grace
full in the old fashioned form of THE
Anti-Jacobin" could be repeated or even
improved uDOn; and this, I think, was
done. If you have ever seen the origi-
nal issue of that famous publication,
you may recognize how closely the old
Pail Mall Gazette resembled it typo
graphically; exactly the same breadth
of double column: the same choice of
types for the text and the lettering of
the title: the same use of itaic capital
headlines; and other HkenesSeS. But
whereas THE Anti-Jacobin" had a large
squat quartO page, the new little paper
was heightened into elegance and be-
came an octave. like THE Saturday
Review"
A due elaboration, the design was
communicated to Mr.. John Parker, the
acting member of a publishing firm in
West Strand. which then owned "Fras-
ers' Magazine" The scheme was ap-
proved. There were consultations about
it with four or five men of the pen and
men of the world, clients and friends of
Mr.. Parker, among them Arthur Helps,
Charles Kingsley, FrOude-Wh0 were to
write-and more remarka bly,, a certain
great statesman, L remember), and the
thing was settled. But not lastingly,
with only a little while to live it was
thought, and the risks of the new IN
dertaking fretted him. So Let US put
it off. said the son. OF course I agreed,
and soon afterWard it was the son that
died and not the father
I was then unacquainted with Mr..
George Smith, and had known him for
some time when. the half-forgotten
scheme recurring to my mind we
gossiped one evening after dinner I
poured it forth. And now no more need
be said for the present purpose except
that after a little while other evenings
We're spent in talking over the plan.
and then it was carried out Mr. Smith
chose the title, which I did not like. AS
for the editOrship, I strongly urged that
it should be offered to Mr. Richard Hut
ton, of THE Spectator. But that Mr..
Smith did not like; he thought that the
designer of the paper should be its edi-
tor, and so very unwillingN q went to
consult Carlyle about it one day, hop
ing that he might know of some un-
placed. highly capable person. ac-
