Managers Not Notified.

President ohaffer added this state
ment:
THE call goes to the vice presidents Of
the districts in which there are mills owned
and operated by the National Steel, Ma
tional Tube and Federal Steel companies,
as well as to The officials of the lodges in
the mills.
mo notice has been or is being sent to
the managers Of the mills. We think their
notice has come from the other side, and
that they have had warning of this ever
since the Inauguration of the, strike. That
ought to be sufficient"
StII Uncertain.
The attitude of the American FEEDER
alton remains uncertain, and the presi-
dent of the Amalgamated association
is unwilling to discuss it, although
support has been proffered by officials
of the federation. This was without
the concerted action of the federation
executive board. Many affiliated bod
les Of the federation have annual or
long-term contracts with their en-
| ployers, and beyond financial and
moral support it is hard to tell how the
federation may go.
1t had been the purpose Of President
Shaffer to give the operating officials
of the remaining constituent COM
panies of the steel corporation time to
anticipate the calling out of their men.
! If it was intended to give these man
| ayers any formal notification, this
! plan was waived Tuesday, although
| they will still have till the closing of
operations on Saturday to prevent the
striking of their men.
Prompt Response Expected.
The call to the men of the three COM
! panies in the mills of which the Anal
gamated association is strongestis ex-
/ pected to be generally and promptly
responded to on Saturday. The move
will, it is expected, practically suspend
operations of the Federal Steel com
pany, and cut off half of the produc-
tion Of the Nationalist and National
Tube companies, and throw upwards
| of 4 5000 men idle. In the most ex-
tensige plant Of the National Tube
company at McKeesport the organiza-
ton Is new, and the effect of the strike
order is uncertain. The works employ
upward of 5000 men.
The attitude Of the men of the Unit
Cd States Steel corporation so far not
affected by the strike has been careful
Iy canvassed since the futile effort ia
arrive al terms of peace in New York
last Saturday. Most of the nine vice
presidents Of the different districts
have been among their men, and Their
reports have reached headquarters,
In q general way the tone Of these re.
ports indicates that the men will sup.
port the stand Of their officials. An ag.
gressive move on Carnegie mills is in
tended, and viii be taken promptly.

SKILLFUL ROBBERS.
They Execute a Daring Theft Near
San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. THE Selby
Smelling and Lead company has
been robbed of $33o,Ooo worth of gold
bullion. The theft occurred some
time Monday night and was not dis
covered until morning. The thieves
tunneled from outside the building
under the vault at the Selby works,
which are located on the bay shore,
about 80 miles from San Francisco.
They got away with nearly 1900
pounds of fine gold, worth $50 an
ounce, without leaving a trace of
their identity behind. The robbery
is the most successful and remarka-
BILE ever accomplished on the Pacific
coast, and was evidently the work
of skilled mechanics.
Well Planned.
The whole affair was skillfully
planned and skillfully executed. 1t
is supposed that when the robbers
secured their loot they loaded it into
a boat that was waiting and disap-
peared in the fog that had come over
San Francisco bay. In their haste to
get away they left two gold bars
worth nearly $4,000, lying on the
bank at the waters edge. The police
at all the bay cities were immediate
ly notified of the crime, but all they
could discover was a few of the tools
that the robbers had used.
The Selby Smelling and Lead COM
pany is the largest concern of its
kind on the Pacific coast. Ores are
SEN from all over the western coun-
try to be smelted and refined, and
the gold is then turned over to the
mint. A steamer makes special trips
between the smelter and San Fran
cisco, carrying the ore n way and
bringing back the refined gold. Tues
day morning, when the workmen en-
tered the vault to prepare the gold
for loading on the steamer the rob-
berry was discovered. The thieves
had taken the pvecaUtion of fasten-
ing the door of the vault from the
inside so that it would be difficult to
open from the outside in case they
were interrupted in their work.

No DelusiOn.

One Of the queer delusions of the
prohibitionists is that by driving the
liquor traffic into hiding, where 1T can
not be observed and regulated, a great
Wet ory has been won. They reverse
the proverbial process of the ostrich
of hiding its own head, and are thank
fuI that they can hide the head of the
LIQUOR traffic.-Montpelie Argus.
No law has ever been made but that
is being constantly violated and the
effect of the prohibitory law of Yer
mont is exactly the same as that of
every other law on the Vermont
statutes for in stdriving the liquor
traffic into hiding, where it cannot be
observed" il is serving the purpose
for which it was enacted just as other
laws which as we have stated only
partially attain the object for which
they were intended.

preferred. caused an uneasy feeling
that the whole dispute was in danger
of breaking out again. although the
urging OF such 8 claim without enforc-
ing il might be designed to exert moral
influence upon the opponents In the
settlement. The source of the selling
of Northern Pacific preferred continued
TO be shrouded in mystery. and the fact
that Hartman brokers were employed
on some of the selling added Go the
confusion of sentiment. whether de-
signedly or not AS it is believed that
the Morgan claims TO absolute control
rests on the holdings OF q majority of
the common stock, with proposed re-
tirement of the preferred, II was in
geniously suggested that their holdings
of the preferred might be coming upon
the market But this would not ex-
plain the advancing price of the pre-
ferred, which reached 1855 at one
time to-day. This served also TO refute
the suggested retirement at par. An
other suggestion was that valuation
above par might be designed for the
stock in the terms OF the exchange with
the stock OF the intended securities
holding company. 1t was significant
that in all this whirl OF rumor and
suggestion. there was no further sug-
gestion that the plans for community
of interest were TO be taken up where
they left of when the May 9th cyclone
interrupted them.
The railroad bond market was pretty
firm, owing to the demand for some of

Interest centered mainly in Northern
Pacific preferred again to-day and the
stock scored another advance. Conjee-
lures are numerous. but the basis for
the advance is still a mystery as the
powers in control still refuse to make
any disclosure of their intentions. Some
authorities assert that a years notice
must be given of the intention OF the
company to exercise the option on the
preferred stock or any part OF 1t on any
first of. January prior to 1917, but the
weight of the authority sustains the
report that the directors Will retire the
stock at par on the coming first OF jan
uary. giving the holders at the same
time the opportunity TO take instead
either bond or stock In the new com
pany to be formed for the purpose Of
holding Great Northern and Northern
Pacific stock. Trading in the general
list was comparatively limited IN vol
ume, and in the afternoon the market
had an easier tone, being Influenced by
the expectation of an unfavoraole bank
statment and somewhat closer WORK
