either the trust asks for another con-
ference or we are exterminated"
Throughout the interview, President
Shaffer indicated that the officials of the
Amalgamated association had their plans
for this struggle Well in hand, and had
made arrangements for the battle on the
most complete and systematic ideas that
could be devised He declined to say
anything about the action of the Fedora
tiOn of Labor
President Shaffer spoke with determina-
ton. He said that he had given up all
hope of peaceful settlement of this
trouble, and looked for no further at
tempts to bring renewal of conferences.
NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE.
AS anxious as the members of the
executive board of the Amagamated as
sociation We're to settle the present steel
workers strike their refusal to accept
the terms of Mr.. Morgan was the only
alternative left them at the last mo-
ment. From the association side, to have
agreed to the proposition that would

mills now idle as non-union would have
meant the desertion of the thousands Of
workmen who were employed in them
and who organized and came out on a
strike since the trouble began To have

it would have die in dishonor. To fight
the trust in an honorable battle with
good chance to win means at least a
chance for life, but If beaten a demise
of the Amalgamated association with
honor"
This was the explanation Of Vice Pres
ident David REESE, Of the Arnalgamated
association, who returned from New
York today after attending the confer
ence there with the officials of the United
States Steel corporation.
AS to the agreement which President
Shaffer is alleged to have signed with
Mr.. Morgan, and which, it was charged,
he had failed to keep, Mr.. Reese said
that it had been proven con nclusveIy that
Mr., Shaffer had done all that he agreed
to do. This proposition of Mr.. Morgan
had been discussed by the members in
free and dispassiOnate manner 1t was
agreed TO without contest and the board
was willing to concede all that it could
in an honorable manner. TIE executive
board took the officers of the trust at
their word, and offered to compromise
on the scale being signed for all mills
that were known to both sides to be full
ly organized
The proposition was declined. It was
declined without any explanation from
the officials, and in return they offered
worse terms, rejected by the board dur
ing the Hotel Lincoln conference.
Concerning the actual strike status in
this city there seems to be little or no
change. The mills on strike are still idle,
with no Indications or an attempt by
the combine to start any of the plants.
No fires are being started and the only
evidence Of work about any of the plants
is that of men making necessary re-
pairs.
A sample of the condition of the men
is tnau at tne LlndSaY McCutcneon mIls. IL
was learned today that not man among
the strikers who wants to work is idle
They have secured employment in the
numerous Independent plants. Those
who are idle are enjoying a much needed
vacation.

NO CHARGE AGAINST HIM
SECRETARY LONG DENIES REPORT
CONCERNING ADMIRAL EVANS
Chandler Has Not Asked for inquiry
into Conduct of the Fight
ing Rear Ad-
miraI

BOSTON, Aug. III am not aware Of
any request for an inquiry or investiga-
tion,' said Secretary of the NAVY John
d. Long, at bingham today when asked
about the Washington report that former
Secretary William e. Chandler had made
charges against Rear Admiral Robley D.
Evans.
The only thing ] can remember con-
corning the matter" continued Mr.. Long
.'is that Mr.. Chandler wrote to me about
the time when Admiral Evans book was
published, and asked for copies of papers
and documents relating to Evans. These
copies We're sent to him later MIR Chand-
Ter wrote a letter to me in which he gave
his version of the case.
THAT may be the letter referred to in
the article which was published today I
would not feel at liberty to make that
letter public without authority from Mr.
Chandler, but it is not unlikely that he
would give it out
Did that letter constitute a request
for an inquiry?" was asked.
There was no request, as 1 understand
it, and there seems to be no necessity for
an inquiry concerning the matter re-
ferred to-
Might it not be taken up by the SEN
are?.
That is not likely, for neither Mr.
Chandler nor Admiral Evans is a member
of the senate" When asked regarding
the selection Of the third member of the
Schley court of inquiry, Secretary Long
said that so far as he knew no seIec-
ton had been made IF Mr.. Hackett has
made the selection 1 shall probably know
it tomorrow, but he has not sent we word
as yet. He is probably taking his time
to ascertain if the man he selects can
serve. L have left the matter entirely
with him. There are only few who are
eligible and any one of them would be
a good man.

SENATOR b. F. TILLMAN SAYS
THINGS BEFORE WISCONSIN
AUDIENCE
ALL MEN NOT CREATED EQUAL
'eNiggers" Are Not Fit to Vote and
the Inhabitants of the South
Won't Stand for
WHITE PEOPLE WILL RULE

MARINETTE, Wis, Aug. 4.-United
States Senator Benjamin F. Tillman, of
South Carolina, addressed a large audi
ence on the race question from a South
ern standpoint One of the features of
his remarks was plea in justification Of
lynching.
'In Wisconsin you have 5000 black
men, he said. Why don't you
try the bleaching process, and ex-
terminate them by intermarry-
ing? The idea is repugnant to
you. In South Carolina we have $50 0OO
blacks and $4,000 whites. The carpet
baggers, the niger and the Southern
scolawags and scoundrels ruled us after
the war until they had stolen everything
that there was in the state; then we
went with our shotgGns to the polls and
took it away from them. All men are not
created equal and the 'niggers' are not
fit to vote. Come what may, the white
people of the South will govern their own
country
He condemned Booker Washington's
scheme of educating the negro along In
dustrial lines an attempt to place MIN
on an equality with the, white artisan.
something that would oHly intensity race
hatred in the South. He said that among
the 100000 of slaves during the rebellion
there were more Christians than there
are today among 9,000,0G0 blacks of the
South.
81 do not want to uphold slavery he
continued. II thank God there are no
slaves today under the stars and stripes"
Mr.. rillman made an eloquent plea in
justification of lynchins, saying that
Southern women could not be brought
into court TO testify to their shame and
degradation before a jury for the pur-
pose Of conVicting a beast. His reference
to the sanctity of the Southern house
hold and the Southern women and his re-
marks on ynching were heartily ap-
plauded. He closed with an impassioned
statement to the effect that the white
people of the South would remain on top
''in spite of the devil" and if necessary
ne and his brethren were ready to take
down their shot guns

There are at least two men who saw

they could be mistaken in the identity of

YANKEE SHOES IN AUSTRIA.
President of shoemalters Guild
Foresees CaIamitous ResuIt.

NEW YORK, Aug, 4.-The news Of the
establishment Of American shoe depots
in Vienna has caused great uneasiness
among the master shoemakers, and in the
councils of the ShOemaIlers' guild, says
the Vienna correspondent Of the Herald
Herr Bitza president Of the guild, says:
The establishment of American shoe
depots in Vienna will be attended with
absolutely tragic consequences so far us
the Vienna shoemaking industry is con-
cerned Agents of the American syndi-
cate are already in Vienna engaged in
hiring commodious premises in each ward
wherein to establish shoe stores What
renders the matter still more hard on
Vienna shoemakers is the circumstance
that Americans will not send 'shOddy'
goods to Vienna The leather which they
employ is already well known to the vi
ennese, being used by local shoenakers.
It is fine, thin and soft, but a thorough
ly durable leather, and has been worn
In Vienna for years past by people of the
upper classes. 1t is only the workman
ship that can be better in Viennese shoes,
because Niennese ShOemakerS employ
hand labor while the Americans use ma
chinery.
The American syndicate owns a big
shoe factory IN Philadelphia in which a
pair of shoes can be made in from thirty
to thirty-fve minutes. A customer only
needs to come to the factory to give
measurements, and while he is reading a
newspaper the shoes are made and he
can take them away, spick and span in
half an hour The cost of labor amounts
to II kreuSer pair, consequently Amer
lean shoes are from half to gulden
cheaper than those produced by Viennese
shoemakers.a
The guild has approached DR.. Won
koerber the prime minister; DR.. Won Carl
and Count Killmannsegg, the statthalter
with a view of stemming American com
petition. These officials declared that
nothing could be done and the shoemak-
ers must help themselves.
the middle of SeDtemDer a monster
meeting will be held in the VoIkshaIl.
Already 5000 shoemakers have announced
their determination to be there. The day
on which the American shoe depots will
be opened Will be a very stormy one. for
the shoemakers are determined to prevent
by force their establishment
