STRIKE ORnrD Z '"'N
Steel Men
Strike Benents rr....
From the White Rats.

Pittsburg. Aug. THE die Is cast.
President Shaffer issued the long.
looked-for general strike order last
evening, to take effect after the last
turn of the mills on August 10. It
includes practically all Amalgamated
men of the steel corporation not now
on strike, and will be mailed to vice
presidents of the districts in which
there are mills operated by the Ma
tional Steel, National Tube and Fed
eral Steel companies.
The text of the call is as follows:
Brethren-The officials of the United
Btates Steel Trust have refused to recog-
nize as union men those who are now
striving for the right to organize. The
executive board has authorized me to
issue call upon all Amalgamated and
other union men in name and heart to
join in the movement to fight for Iabors
rights.
You win be told that you have sIa....s
contracts. but you never agreed to SUR
render these contracts to the United
States Steel Corporation Its officers think
you were sold to them just as the mills
were, contracts and ALL
Remember, before you agreed to any
contract you took an obligation to the
H. II
you to help in this hour of need.
Unless the trouble settled on or before
Saturday, August 10, 1901. the mills will
close when the last turn is made on that
day.
T. J. sHAFFER.
The call to the men Of the three
companies in the mills of which the
association is strongest is expected to
be promptly responded to on Saturday,
which will swell the number of idle
men to 100000. It will practically sus-
pend operations Of the Federal Steel
company and cut Off half the produc-
ton of the other two companies. At
the plant Of the National Tube COM
pany at McKeesport the organization
is new. and the effect of the strike
order is uncertain.
President Shaffer declined to say
whether the order was meant to go to
the union men in the Carnegie Steel
company, but it is probable that they
will be expected to join in the strike.
An effort will also be made to hamper
the operations of the American Steel
Wire and the American Bridge COM

ton among the plants of the latter
concern.
At noon yesterday President Shat.
fer called out all the men employed
in the New Castle mills OF the Ma
tional Steel company They stopped
work at IL o'clock last night. He
stated that his purpose in doing this
was that he had learned that the
trust has been piling up union-made
bars In the old housings Of the dis.
mantled Jennings sheet mill for the
purpose of supplying the trade to the
non-uniOn mills when the plants were
shut down. About 1900 men are af,
fected by this, the initial strike since
the failure of the conference.

THE CONSTITUTIONS

IT now seems quite certain that the
old constitution Of the United States
will, ere many decades have rolled
round, have TO battle furiously for itH
life. The number of people that are
beginning to make the claim that 1t Il
antiQuated and has served out its term
of usefulness 10 surprising. Even the
Topeka Journal says; "Mr, Bryan
says the recent decision Of the supreme
court In the insular cases renders q
written constitution unnecessary.
Well, suppose 1t does. England gets
along very we'll without any such in
strument and her government 10 about
as free as ours, The constitution may
have iys uses but II causes world OF
bother at times, There are persons
who question the proprlety Of present
day citizens being governed by rules
laid down century ago.
A few years ago the popullsts were
many Of them asking seriously whether
or not the written constitution was
sufficiently flexible to permit the
neels changes to keep up with new
methods Of commerce and modes Of
living. Now the question is coming
from different source mainly, 1t 10
from those who instead of wishing TO
make the country more democratic,
wish to centralize. Many of them
even 90 much farther and attack the
fundamental principles of equality on
which ali popular government must
rest. Power is now In the aggressive
attacking the constitution. Without
doubt there are changes needed in the
constitution but there Is o way pro-
ylded to make them If we have sense
enough. But the changes that are
needed are the ones that conserva.
tlves, the reactlonIsts, the tories who
are now critlcising the constitution
will refuse to permit. After all writ
ten constitution Is a good thing, Why
should 1t not be as well to have laws
to govern our representatives and limit
their arbitrrry powers, as to have laws
to limit the arbitrary powers and acts OF
courtsy A written constitution given
strict construction and made easy
TO amend Is the best. Perhaps one of
the worst defects Of ours is that 1t is
TOO difficult to amend.

II appears after all that the country
is not to be treated to the opportunity
Of witnessing the fight to the finish
between Senators Tillman and Nc
Laurin in South Carolina. The COVER
nor did not accept their resignation
and asked both senators to reconsider.
McLaurin was very willing to recon
slider and withdraw his resignation.
That done, Tlllman could do nothing
buI withdraw his. But the affair has
shown that the leaders that moulded
the course Of the convention at Chi
Cago when 1t tore itself loose from the
corporation influences that had guided
the courses Of both parties for years,
comes to the assistance of Tillman,
They we're aggressive while the gold
bugs and eastern fellows were very
quiet. Possibly it was because Nc
Laurin in defending the ship subsidy
measure and others of similar nature
had gone too far for even them, or per.
haps they expected him to be beaten
and did not wish to be beaten with
him.

cation that the cusser's enthusiasm OF

thought and 1t does seem to afford re-

little for the timebelng, But that Il

Of obtaining the loosening that are
better. Best way 10 not to let the ten
sion get 30 tight II needs loosening,

and scientifically about nothing, that

eating people on claims, took party
Of men several mile away from his own

located them next to himself and had
nelghbors. When asked why he did
II, he replied that they swore too much
When reminded that he himself was
o tolerably voluble cusser, he re-
piled that he didn't swear except the
occasion required, and them fellers
swore all the time whether there was
anything to swear at or not" And
sure enough within year marshals
came and pulled them eff their land
and took them to the penitentiary for
members Of Dutch Henry's gang Of
horse thieves. Perhaps 1t was the old
mans instinct and experience with
men that lead him to this course more
than the reason given. Yet his reasons
were worth needing, But after all the
homilles that are written and spoken
on pure speech men will continue to
swear, needlessly, uselessly and fool
ishly swear. Some good men will con-
tnue to swear, and some bad men
will not swear, but more bad men will
swear and more good men will not
swear, Choke Off your cnss words.

A YOUNG man of culture and edu-
cation, the son Of one Of the swellest
and wealthIest families In st. Louis, a
short time ago disguised himself and
sought and secured employment as a
common day laborer in u foundry at
the hardest kind Of work. He had
been subjected to the batteries, the
wheedling and toadyiug of sycophants
and to enervatlng influences of luxury
and laziness and to the emptyness of
society and fashions whirl till he was
sated and slckened, and sought en-
ployment at hard labor to get up an
interest in life. 1t Is athogether
probable that the rich, the opulent,
whose every wish and caprice is 90 lis
fled are not more happy, IL they are as
much so, as the humble plebean who
earns a moderate subsistence by hon
orable toll. 1t is said that man is the
only animal that will squeeze aud ac
cumulate and pile up millions more
than he can ever use in his life time
and withhold its use from those who
might use 1t and be benefited and
made happy. Yet all are inclined to
follow this course more or less in busi-
ness, follow it harder, and can't quit,
knowing that If success shorld come.
which is improbable, they would still
be loser, would find the goal sterile,
bleak and unsatisfying. Some Of the

PUT NO FAITH IN STORY
Legislative Members Have Received
No Insimstion OF Special Session

Considerable interest was aroused by
the articles in the various morning papers
today regarding a report that plan was
ON foot TO call together the Legislature
and elect John Hum and Colonel Du-
Pont to the United States Senate.
There was some speculation as 20 what
It meant. though many set it down as the
result OF the eagerncss OF some space
writer to fill his column. Such seems to
be the case, for while there is a general
expression OF opinion favorable TO the
plan. even Union Republicans being eager
10 end the present intoleranle condition,
yet there is no vindication that Addicks
has receded from his stubborn position.
a reporter for the Evening journal in
terviewed numerous politicians including
a number of members OF the Legislature,
and all solemnly declare that the news
paper reports were the first they had
heard Of it.
Some time since the Dover correspond
ent OF an evening paper started the rumor.
but it proved 10 be without foundation.
