ALL FURNACEMEN
May BE Called Out BY the Fedora
tiOn of Labor to Help Amalgam ma
ted Association.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 26.-The Post
tomorrow will say:
A serious spread of the steel strike
is now threatened in an unexpected
quarter. From the sheet STEEL hoop
and tin mills, the contest is expected
to reach out into the furnaces in the
Mahoning and Shenango valleys and
cause a complete smut down of these
plants. 1t would throw many hundreds
of men out of employment and curtail
the production of raw material as we'll
as the finished lines. From these fur
naces it is believed that the danger Will
threaten with greater force than ever
the union mills of the National steel
Company throughout Ohio. If 1t Is not
checked at that point the same spirit
0f unionism is feared to be strong
enough to reach once more into Home
stead and Duquesne.
When it was announced yesterday
from Cleveland and Youngstown that
the Bessemer Furnace Association had
sold all OF its product for August TO
the
U. s. Steel Corporation,
the fact was at once taken up by the
Amalgamated officials. During the
early portion of the present year the
American Federation of Labor has had
organizers at work among the furnace
men in the two valleys. They have sue
ceeded in getting together all the fur-
nacemen in the various plants OF the
association and forming lodges or the
Federation with large memberships.
Unuer an agreement with President
Shaffer. of the Amalgamated Assoela-
ton. this work of organization was ar
ranged in such way that whenever
it became necessary in case OF strike
the Federation of Labor was to be pre-
pared to turn over all OF these furpace
lodges, as well as all other lodges II
had in the iron and steel trades, to the
Amalgamated Association. The fact
that the Bessemer Valley Association is
now tied up with contracts with the
open contestant of the Amalgamated
Association opens the way for the car
rying out of the programme OF the
Amalgamated Association for claiming
help of the lodges of the Federation
At This Critical Time
in it's history. To take in these lodges
and obtain their support for the strike
will be the work of few days.
In the meantime the union men In
the works of the National Steel Com
many have been restless ever since the
strike began. They have, according TO
President Shaffer. been kept at work In
the mills with the greatest dificulty.
II the furnace men come out, In order
to shut of the supply OF Bessemer pig

NO CHANGE IN PRICE.

YOUNGSTOWN, o.. July 26.-The
Mahoning and Shenango Valley BESSIE
mer Association has sold 10000 tons
of standard Bessemer pig iron TO the
constituent companies of the United
States Steel Corporation for delivery in
August. The price paid is the same
that has been current for the past 80
days. The sale practically cleans up
all the metal the association has on
hand.

lied movement for breaking the strike
before this.
fhe manufacturers realize that it
would be hard task to try and ar
range this strike settlement at a time
in the year when
Men Do Not Want to work
anyway. There would be no incentive
for the men TO go to work under any
condition. They are waiting for the
fishing season to pass and the season
for outdoor sports and amusements.
and when this is over and the men are
back to their homes they will be ready
to talk to them with some reasonable
show of success. This is the opinion
of the majority of the manufacturer,
but there are a few who believe the
contest will be one of the longest and
most bitter ever seen in this country.
1t was reported on good authority in
Mckeesport tonight. that the employees
OF the Boston Iron & Steel Works and
the National Rolling Mill at McKees-
port. both plants of the National Tube
Company, will come out on strike to-
morrow. For the past several days the
men have been secretly organizing and
now that the organization of the plants
is about completed, the majority OF the
men now being members of
The, AmalKnmated Association,
a strike will be declared tomorrow, 1t
was rumored in McKeesport tonight
that If the Boston plant and the Ma
tional rolling mill come out, the en-
tire plant of the National Tube Com
pany will follow their lead and also
come out. The plant employs 5000
men and il this force comes out. the
industries OF McKeesport will be prac-
tically closed.
Late reports from Wellsville say no
change has been effected there. Up to
midnight the injunction stories from
Lisbon. Ohio, have not been confirmed
Monessen reports:
Tomorrow will be pay day in the
National tin plate mill here and the
strikers are hoping that when the men
get their money they will listen to
strike talk with a more attentive ear.
When the mill closed down for the week
last Saturday the constituents of Presi-
sent Shaffer proclaimed that not enough
men would put in an appearance to
man the rolls Monday morning, and
the Amalgamated people make the same
claims tonight.
The tin mill officials. however. are
just as sanguine that they will open
up with a full force Monday morning.
About S14 men will be paid tomorrow
There are rollers here who average 5000
every two weeks pay, and that is
The Greatest Obstacle
to the strike argument.
Although all the mills, save one, OF
the American Tin Plate Company are
closed down by the strike and there is
reported trouble at that PLAINTIFF one
at Monessen-the company will have
ready for operation within a few days
the largest works under its control
The new plant is located at Martin S
Ferry, Ohio. Three or four other plants
of the company, several from the Pitts
burg district, have been consolidated
here and new buildings put up and new
machinery installed. The plant Will
be completed by the end of the pres
emit month when, 1t is claimed, 1t will
be the finest tin works in the world.
Between five thousand and six thou
sand hands will be required to operate

MOLINE MAY ABANDON
THE VERTICAL SYSTEM

There is a possibility that he ver-
tic'l writing as now taught in the
Moline schools will be abandoned fer
the liant system such as was in vogue
before the newer idea came in few
years ago. Daring the winter the
principals of the schools aud the mem
bers of the board of education were
harrassed by agents of various kinds
of vertical style copy books. These
were not accepted after long deliber-
alton and the text book committee in
its report was divided upon the value
of the vertical writing So the matter
was allowed to rest till the summer.
Now it is possible that it will be
taken up again. Some of the mem
bers recently elected are oppo sed to
the vertical writing and the board is
divided in its opinion. When action
was deferred it was decided to wait
till the style had been longer in use
and see what other cities do with it.
Now teachers will be interested
in knowing that the New York board
has abolished it. Business men. who
employ graduates, gave their testi-
mony that the style is laborious, slow
and hard to write. 1t is also alleged
that it requires harmful attitude at
the desk. A compromise bet ween the
Spenceriau slant and the vertical
writing is to be adopted.
