Lawyer Proposes Method for Ending
Steel Strike.

Pittsburg, Sept. 2-Labor day meet
ing and picnic at the grove was some
what marred by rain, but crowd of
between 1000 and 5000 men braved
the elements to attend. The early
part of the afternoon was given up to
amusements and sports and it was
after 5 o'clock before the speech max
ing began.
The principle address were made
by President Shaffer and w. J. Bren-
nan, counsel for the Amalgamated as
sociation. Brennan preceded Shaffer
in an address that wrought his hear
ers up to high pitch of enthusiasm.
He advised them to guard the ballot
as the lark of labor's convenant" and
told them that it was their ultimate
salvation. The old ways of fighting
by laboring men will have to be
abandoned, he said, and up-to-date
methods employed. He reviewed the
present troubles and closed by pro-

which he said is lawful and equitable.
'Enjoin and restrain the banks from
loaning your money to the trusts" /"
Giving a mass Of statistics he said:
'sOf the 100000 depositors in the
banks one-third of them at least must
be union men and friends Of labor.
When labor commences to run on the
banks Mr.. Morgan will know that
there is something to arbitrate. Six

OF many mills. The wool market Is

demand from large producers OF goods.
Aside from the uneasiness caused BY
labor controversies no set back has APP
peared IN the leading industry. Coudi-
tions OF supply and demand are similar 70
those existing for the past few months:
IN some lines purchasers are increasingly
importunate. while In others there IS
slightly less urgency for prompt ship
ment but IN all branches OF iron ard steel
manufacture requirements are much Ira
excess OF available stocks. Recent evil
dsnce OF large grain crops has brought
agricultural implement makers IN the
market for bars and many have contract
ed for thei entire years supply. Another
feature was the great activity in the
structural material for bridges and build
inRs, while the large tonnage OF steel
rails already placed did not prevent
durther orders. The recent advance IN
plates failed 10 diminish business. Faith
IN the future IS evidenced By more plans
for the erection OF new mills with enor-
nous capacity.
Shipments OF boots and shoes from the
east declined to s6.5z7 cases. against o..
45S cases two weeks ago. but there still
appears a good margin above the move
ment a year ago. Contracts are uneveniv
distributed. many shops having orders
for soma time. while others are seeking

satisfactory than q year ago however.
for then not a third OF the capacity Was
being operated. Prices on shoes are uain-

come general. Local manufacturers are
receiving better orders and some idle
