Fort Scott, Kas., Aug. 7-At a meet
ing of the ways and means committee
of the city council held last evening it
was discovered that the city's indebt-
edness was about $11, 500, and that the
general fund only contained s., 500 with
which to pay the indebtedness They
also found that the bond interest fund
was overdrawn to the amount of 81
200 and that the city had no money
with which to m axe up the overdraft,
and would not have until the first half
of the 1901 taxes, received in December.
The city's books show that the run
ming expenses of the city for last year
amounted to sgt 600, which with the
$4,000 the city owes now in excess of
the money it has, makes a total of $3T.-
600 which Will be necessary to raise
during the year. The committee fig

they will recommend be levied for the

President Shaffer was asked if the call
was not intended to go to the union
men in the Carnegie Steel company.
He said that he answered no question
on that score. The Amalgamated As
sociation has lodges in the Upper and
Lower union mills of the Carnegie Steel
company and a foothold in the Home
stead, Duquesne and Braddock mills,
the great bulWark of non-unionism- In
conformity to statements that have
been made by President ShaHer before,
these men will be expected to join the
strike, as viii all Amalgamated men
and sympathizers in all plants of the
United States Steel corporation. The
other companies of the steel corpora
ton mentioned by the An1algamated
president and whose operations the as
sociation will seek to hamper, are the
American Steel and Wire company and
the American Bridge company. In the
wire company, the Amalgamated As
sociation has only lodges in the Cleve-
land rolling mill plant and the Joliet
rod mill plant Of the company. The
former is now idle
In the plants of the American Bridge
company, there is no organization of
the men. The outside men, handling
and erecting the work of the American
Bridge company, are organized as the
international Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers. They are
not affiliated with the American FEEDER
alton of Labor.
The attitude of the Federation re-
mains uncertain and the president of
the Amalgamated Association is un-
willing to discuss it, although support
has. been proffered by officials of the
Federation. This has been without
concerted action upon the part of the
Federation executive board Many -af-
hliated bodies of the Federation have
annual or long term. contracts with
their employers, and, beyond financial
and moral support, it is hard to tell
how the Federation may go.
President Shaffer said: I'VE want no
one to come out with US unwilIingly.
If our people are not in full sympathy
with our fight. we would rather they
would remain at work. They will not
be asked to decide hastily. They will
have until Saturday night of this week
to think it over. When they finally do

the battle. There will be no faltering,
no indecisiOn, no ignorance in action
but unity of purpose and determi i

After issuing the official call for next
Saturday night, President Shaffer said:
AT noon called out all the men en-
plOyed in the Newcastle mills of the
National Steel company They will
stop work at u o'clock tonight. My
purpose in doing this was that /

up union made bars in the old housings
of the dismantled Jennings sheet mill
for the purpose of supplying the nom
union mill when the plants shall be
shut down. 1t was a. clever trick, but
it did not work The trust will need
enough before they are through with
this strike. After sending this telegram
to Newcastle, I received 8, reply, which
read as follows
Mill will close Men are all firm"
Discussing the feature of the strike
that would bear directly upon the pros
perity of the country, President Shaf-
fer said. THE closing of all these mills
will be felt by all classes. 1t will stop
production, and this will stop COM
merce The effect will be bad and no
one realizes it m ore than I do. / re-
allied it all the time and tried to avoid
by every means in my power the carry
ing out of this programme. but it was
of no use. Right must triumph, how
ever. 1t will triumph in spite of the
trust saying that the union men can
not exist in their mills
In this call for the men to come out,
we tried to avoid all meaningless
words. all bombastic utterances and
sensational sentences. It is too serious
a matter for stage play. The Arnalga-
mated men fully realize the task that
Is before them and have been prepared
for it, They are. I believe, ready to
suffer long for what they firmly be-
lieve to be their rights. They will suf-
fer hunger, poverty and privatien of

pie. They may start some of their
mills, but they can not start many of

President Shaffer last evening, to take
effect after the last turn of the mills
on August 10.
The strike call includes practically
all Amalgamated men in the United
States Steel corporations employ not
now on strike. It was issued from the
Amalgamated Association headquarters
and mailed to all Amalgamated lodge
officials, who are expected to call their
men into the strike. The text Of the
call follows:
Brethren: The officials of the Uni
ted States steel trust have refused to
recognize as union men those who are
now striving for the right to organize.
The executive board has authorized me
to issue a call upon all Amalgamated
and other union men in name and
heart to join in the movement to fight
for 1abOr'S rights.
I'VE must fight or give up forever
our personal liberties.
You viii be told that you have sign
ed contracts, but you never agreed to
surrender those contracts to the United
States Steel corporation. Its officers
think you were sold to them just as the
mills were, contracts and all.
..Remem Der, before you agreed to any
contract you took an obligation to the
Amalgamated Association. 1t now calls
you to help in this hour of need.
Unless the trouble is settled on or
mills will close when the last turn is
made on that day.
Brethren, this is the call to preserve
our organization. We trust you. and
need you. Come and help US, and may
right come to a just cause
''Fraternally yours,
IT. J. SHAFFER''
President Shaffer 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, National 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 sufa-
cient."
The order of President Shafrer is ex-
pected to swell the number of idle men
to over 100000 at the end of the week.

to the Star from Fort Sill says: With
out regard to the quality Of the land,

high in the hundreds.
This morning out of thirty persons
who had filed claims two persons en-
titled to enter lands failed to appear.
The auction sale of town lots is proving
a tedious process
The indications point to the fact that
Lawton has already had its largest
population. The bidding was more
spirited this morning. The system
adopted of selling lots in the lowest
numbered blocks in their order will
prevent the auctioneer from reaching
the most desirable lots for several days.
AS the lots closer to the center of the
business district are reached the price
shows a, steady increase. Interior lots
in block No. 80 sold for from $50 to
$3.50.
Four frame buildings are up this
morning on lots purchased yesterday.
Many of the lots are being purchased
solely for speculative purposes. and as
they will be sold again no improve
ments will be made on them. It will

$4,000 REWARD
Offered For Apprehension of the
SmeIter Thieves.

San Francisco. Cal, Aug. 7.-Presi-
dent A. J. Ralston, of the selby Smelt-
ing works, stated to the Associated
Press this morning that he had heard
nothing of a definite nature from the
address of the detective agencies haLv-
ing men at work on the case. Mr.. Raj
ston stated that a reward of $1,000 had
been offered for the capture Of the men
but that so far as he knew the chances
of any one obtaining the reward are
very slim, or in other words. that def
mite clews as to the perpetrators OF the
robbery are lacking.
At the PinkertOn detective agency It
was stated that there were no develop
ments Of Importance in the case, but.
that the detectives had strong hopes OF
running down the robbers.
