STRIKE LEADERS REJOICE.
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER NEWS FROM MIL
WAUKEE AND WHEELlNG-STEEL
OFFICIALS STILL CONFIDENT.

Pittsburg Aug 1.-THE news that the MIL
Waukee men had decided TO cast their fortunes
with the strikers. supplemented by the an
nouncement that the steel men in the Riverside
plant at Wheeling had voted to strike, awakened
new enthusiasm in the ranks of the Amagam-
ated Association and its followers. There had
been some doubt as to the final decision of the
Milwaukee lodges. and it was feared that if the
vote were adverse Joliet might reconsider its
last previous vote, and that the chances OF win
ming Chicago would be greatly reduced. The
Milwaukee vote inspires them with the hope
that Chicago can be prevailed on once more 10
reconsider its vote and finally decide to come
over 10 the strikers When the news from Mil
waukee arrived here tonight il quickly spread
among the strikers. They were highly enthusi-
astic over il, and renewed their assurances of
their complete confidence of final success in
their contest against the United States Steel
Corporation.
The leading steel officials had gone to their
homes when the news was received. and no ex-
preston on the subject was obtainable from
them. An officer of of the subsidiary COM
panies said il would merely make the steel cor
poration more determined than ever TO win.
The news from Milwaukee and Wheeling came
after a day of exceeding quietness throughout
the strike districts. The forces at the non
union mills in operation were not increased ana
neither side haQ made an important lloNe- AiS

sHAFFER on REMOVAL OF MILLS.
HE SAYS THE STEEL CoMPANY's THREAT Is
WITHOUT SIGNIFICANCE.

Pittsburg. Aug. 17.-President Shaffer made a
statement to-day with respect to the threat of
the United States Steel Corporation TO remove
certain plants from cities where strong union
sentiment prevails TO communities inclined to be
more friendly. He said:
Ever since the United States Steel Corporation
was formed the plan for concentrating plants
in towns where economical operation was the
strongest feature has been discussed and prac-
tically decided upon. The only matter LETT TO
be settled was a favorable opportunity for carry
ing out this plan. While business was so rushed
Il was decided TO keep all mills in operation.
They would not have been moved for some time
had il not been that the men refused TO work
in them under the conditions imposed by the
officials of the company. Now that the mills
are idle and the trust believes that they VIII be
for some time. owing to the determined attitude
of the men. this plan OF removal Will be carried
out at once.
The only feature Of this removal worthy OF
note is the fact that all possible weight Is belns
given its significance in order to influence the
people in the towns that Will be affected by the
loss Of the plants. The fact. however, that there
will not be enough men to operate the mllls
even after they are removed, without our peo-
pie precludes the idea that the trust VIII gam
anything by this threat, which is utterly Yold OF
significance when sifted down TO the potion
facts.

DUNN is FOR A DEMOCRAT.
CHAIRMAN OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE
COMMITTEE TALKS ABOUT CAN
DIDATES FOR MAYOR.

Colonel George w. Dunn, chairman of the Re-
publican State Committee. says that in his judg-

more anti-Tammany votes this fall than would
be cast for a straightout Republican. Colonel
Dunn after a hard weeks work as State Rail-
way Commissioner. registered at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel last night. He has been all
around the State this summer. and his promi-

emphasis to his views the mayoralty stua-
ton at this time.
II now, and for some time have been per-
sonaly of the opinion that an Independent Dem
ocrat of recognized character and ability should
be chosen to head the mayoralty ticket in the
approaching campaign" said Colonel Dunn to
a Tribune reporter Should The Republicans
of this city. because of their numerical strength
insist naming a Republican for Mayor. it
might sound rather heroic to say to the OBJ
jector, You can't vote the Tammany ticket, so
you might we'll fall in line and vote this
ticket. That might sound we'll enough and
many anti-Tammany Democrats would vote the
ticket But good many would not vote the
ticket with a Republican at the head of it. for
the reason that this is a Democratic city
There might be just enough who would not
vote the ticket to give Tammany a victory.

GOVERNOR DID NOT CHANGE SENATOR'S
MIND ABOUT BEST CANDIDATE
FOR MAYOR.

found his belief that the anti-Tammany candidate

ness to the assertion OF Governor Odell that the
