STRIKE ORDERED
IN THREE MILLS

pittsburg, July H.-Aftcr Il three days
conference the Amagamated Association
officials and the tin plate, hoop and
sheet trust representatives at O'Clock
last evening adjourned without having
succeeded in reaching Il settlement.
The union officials announced this
evcnin. that general strike, involving
100000 men, would be ordered in all the
amlagamated mills and works Of the
United States Steel Corporation begin
ming with 10000 tin plate workers, who
are to strike on Monday morning. After
that will come the plants Of the Federal
Steel Company, in which thousands of
union men are employed.
The order to the tin plate men was
issued by President Shaffer tonight.
100000 MEN INVOLVED.
In an estimate made tonight Secretary
John Williams, of the Amalgamated As.
ISOLATION. figures that 10000 Amaigalnat-
ed men who are employed In mills Of the
United States Steel Corporation will be
on strike next week. He says that each
skilled man will also throw one unskill-
ed man idle. This would make the total
number Of men that are likely to be idle
close to 100000. but as a matter OF fact
the extensive use of labor saving ma
chinery has greatly reduced tho proper
ton Of unskilled men so that safe psti-
mate Of the total number likely to he
idle Is 100000. Secretary Williams said
that he did not expect the men in the

SEIZED AT
CHURCH DOOR.

West Chester, Pa. July IA. There
was a sensational scene in front Of st.
Agnes Catholic Church, in this place,
at the conclusion Of the services this
morI ing, owing to the efforts of Mrs,
J. p. Horwitz, OF New York, to re-
cover her long lost son, Louis, aged
II, who disappeared from home about
a year ago.
Although the most determined eff.
forts had been made to discover the
whereabouts of the lost boy, no trace
Ct him was found until lately, when
the mother learned that he was stu

diately, but when he arrived there,
vaca ton had commenced, and he was
informed that the boy had left the
school in company with one OF the
professors. Subsequently the youth
was located at the home of Joshua
Howell, several miles from this place.
This discovery was made by one
Adolph Krane, of New York, and yes

morning krane attended services at
ST. Agnes Church, but he only re.

congregation.
When he quilted the church it was
to inform the mother of this fact, for
shortly afterward Mrs. Horwtz post
ed herself at the entrance to the
church on the outside. She had not
long to wait, for presently the boy
emerged from the ediiice, with the
professor walking b. hi side.
With Il glad shout the mother made
wild dash for him and threw her
arms around his neck, son, Louis.
Louis, You shall never leave my side

II necessary; to bring the trust to terms
by such means. Nevertheless, it IL prob
able that all Amalgamated men in the
trust mills will be on strike within q
week or ten days.
There is possibility that the American
Federation of Labor may be drawn into
the fight in a direct way, as some Of the
Eastern iron and steel works have been
organized by the Federation, and these,
it is sand, may go out in sympathy.
Should this be the case number of
plants east of the mountains would be
closed down.
The trust officials made several com
promise propositions during today's
meeting, but the workers adhered to
their original demand in that the hoop
and sheet trusts sign for every one of
their works and also Tut in an addi-
tional demand that the American Tin
Plate Company sign the scale for its
solitary non-nnion works. a plant at
Moncsscn, Pa, which employs 2Or men.

Glcnwood Springs, COL, July I. -
a party Of 20 Epworth Lcagucrs is

they had with them and of railroad
tickets as well. Unless the railroad
will issue tickets back home OH their
proof of having purchased and paid
for rides to san Francisco and buck
they will be compelled to ask aid
from the county authorities. In
many instances money and tickets do
not cover the entire loss, for in at
least 10 instances thieves also secur-
ed the trunks of victims.
DR.. J. II. Wilson and his wife, and
their daughter, Mrs. II. X. Harring-
ton, Of Dover, Del, left Colorado
Springs Wednesday night. In the
crush at the Rio Grande Depot, DR..
Wilson's wallet, containing tickets
for the party, drafts on San Francis
co banks and checks for trunks, was
stolen. The loss was not discovered
until the 90 lductor collected tickets.
1t was then found that many others
on the same train we're robbed in
similar manner.
The conductor offered to carry the
pass engers as far as Grand Junction
or send them back to Colorado Springs
Collections were taken up on the
train tosupply immediate nccessaries
for those entirely destitute. 1t was
learned that as soon as the thieves
secured the baggage checks they sent
an expressman to the depot baggage
agent at Color ado Springs and claim
ed the trunks before they were sent

Owing to the Weather There Will
Only be an Average Crop.
Smyrna, DEL, July 1.-THE wheat
crop in comparison with that Of last
year, which was phenominaly large, is
very disappointing, as the crops OF straw
il even larger this year than last year.
The weather since the harvest has been
poor for threshlng, but if what we hear
is correct, the yield OF grain this year lie
from eight to ten bushels less per acre
than last. 1t is believed that the fields
near the bay that headed out later and
In drier weather are better.
Another feature that strikes the farmer
is that the market price is lower, from
81 to 65 cents this year against IS and 70
cents last year. We hear Of one man
west Of the railroad who expected LOCO
bushels and only got 800. Beyond the
State line it is even worse than this. Be-
cause Of the excessive heat, the grain is
not as plump as last year.
