THE TRUST CLAIMS VICTORY
Steel Combine Managers Seem
Confident of Success.
SEVERAL MILLS ARE RUNNING.
IL Is Too Early in the Great Game,
However, to Predict Which Side Has
the Better Chance-Strike Leaders
Confident of Success.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 13.-The mana
gers of the big steel mills are claiming
victory and declare that within forty
eight hours the backbone of the strike
will be broken. The refusal OF the men
at South Chicago, Joliet and Bay View
fer has given the managers great salts
faction and has correspondingly dis
appointed the strike leaders. Not only
have the western men refused to
strike, but operations have been main
tanned in several other mills. The
strike leaders met the claims Of vic
tory with the assertion that their
cause is making satisfactory progress
and that they will show themselves
masters Of the situation before the
contest has progressed much further.
They do not conceal their disappoint-
ment at the refusal of their western
brethren to strike, but none of the
leaders would discuss the detection.
President Shaffer refused to meet the
newspaper men who sought him and
Other leaders who were seen intimated
that there would be developments to-
day and throughout the week that
would materially change the situation.
They would not say, however, what
they had in mind or how their cause
was to gain in strength. 1t was said
that they were counting upon strong
aid from the American Federation of
Labor and other organizations of un-
ion labor, but those bodies have not
yet given any public indication OF what
they will do. The Amalgamated asso-
citation has developed great strength in
the Wheeling district and has made
gains in some of the Pennsylvania
districts, but the lines of cleavage are
not yet marked with sufficient clear
ness for a count of the men. The
strike headquarters were closed today
and it was claimed that no re-
ports were being received from
the outlying districts as to the prog
ress of the strike, except in a general
way. The steel officials were in COM
munication with their superintendents
and district managers and at II
o'clock made public the result of their
reports. The latter showed that South
Chicago, Joliet and Bay View, at Mil
waukee, had voted to stay in; that the
Ohio works of the National Steel Com
pany at Columbus had resumed with
out trouble; that the Homestead Ed
gar Thompson, Duquesne. Upper and
Lower Union and Howard Axle works
Of the Carnegie group. employing more
than $4,000 men, had resumed work
without trouble; that the converting
and blooming mills of the National
Tube Company at McKeesport had
started without difficulty, and that Bel
laire had been partially crippled.
They were also advised that the men
of the Boston rolling mills at Nc
Keesport had notified the National
Tube Company that they would go out
today, and that, while the National
Tube plant at McKeesport would be
started in the morning, it was certain
that many men would go out.

STRIKERS CLAIM GAINS.
Several Mills Are Closed by Sympathetic
Strikes.

Pittsburg, Aug 13.-President Shat
fer made brief statement at noon. He
said:
1--WE have no official information
about the situation in the west. l do
not believe Vice President Davis of
Chicago, has accepted a superintendent
cy from the trust, as reported. My
only regret is that some of the men
working in the slave pens Of the trust
had not spirit enough to come out and
join the strikers. | will not take any
part in calling out the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. It's action must be
voluntary. The Amalgamated has not
lost anything. but has made gains"
Secretary Williams said:
81 think the greatest surprise of the
strike will come to the steel officials
when they find we have invaded the
Carnegie plant. We have reliable re-
ports to the effect that the Lower City
mill is tied up and that but one mill
in the Upper mill is on. We have not
made known our plans and still have
some surprises for the manufacturers.
No Trouble at Monessen.
The trouble anticipated at Mones-
sen this morning did not come, and
the large plant of the American Tin
Plate company there is in full opera
ton today.
Both sides claim control.
The strike leaders planned to call the
men out this morning, but at the last
moment refrained from doing so.
They say that they will act later
while the officers of the company say
that their position is quite secure and
that the plant will not be affected by
the present difficulty.

In 1861 Crispi had won wealth and

Sicilian railroad company his fees were
enormous. Riches increased his po-

abled him to decline the portfolio of
the interior in the cabinet of Rattazzi
in 1867. In 1876, however, he became
president of the chamber of deputies

Reports from all the strike centers
indicated that perfect order prevails,
but it is believed here that clashes
are inevitable at the more turbulent
places when attempts are made to put
non-union men on where the strikers
have quit work.
President Shaffer, Secretaries Will
liams and Tighe, Vice President Chap
pelle, National Trustee John Pierce
and Ben Davis were at strike head
quarters. Mr. Shaffer was in his pri-
vate Office and refused to see any call
ers. Secretary Williams said:

able settlement can be reached. We
are issuing a call to the general public
for financial aid. 1t will go out to-

Chicago, Aug. 13.-At South Chicago,
Milwaukee and Joliet the steelworkers

order. Those at South Chicago and
Milwaukee absolutely refuse to strike.
The 500 Amalgamated men at, Joliet

In reverent silence bow!
No passing bell doth toll;
Yet an immortal soul
Is passing now.
Stranger, however great.
with lowly reverence bow,
There's one in that poor shed
One by that paltry bed
Greater than thou.

Lo! Death doth keep his state!
Enter! No crowds attend
Enterl No guards defend

No smiling courtiers tread:
One silent woman stands
Lifting with meager hands
dying head
No mingling voices sound
An infant wall alone;
A sob suppressed-a~a ain
That short deep gasp-and then
The parting groan.
OH change-ohi wondrous change!
Burst are thy prison bars
This moment there, so low,
So agonized-and now
Beyond the stars.
OH change-stupendou change
There lies the soulless clod!

The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God.

Call for Financial Aid.

Williams gave out copies of the call
which reads as follows:
"To the Members of Organized La
bor-Brethren: AS you are undoubt-
eddy aware the United States Steel
corporation are now waging a war
against organized labor by making the
Amalgamated association the subject
on which to begin operations. At our
last convention it was unanimously
decided to ask the United States Steel
corporation, when settling their an
nual scale with the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION, that they sign or recognize
the scale of the Amalgamated associa-
tion in all their mills. When the mat
ter was preached, the matter was per-
emptorily refused. After the holding
of several conferences, the demand OF
our organization was modified so as to
take in only the mills of three of their
constituent companies, viz: The
American Sheet Steel company, the
American Tin Plate company, and the
American Steel Hoop company, where
local lodges had been formed and
where the men were very DESTROYS of
being union men, and we are now out
on strike for recognition.
''In the conferences which were held
by the representatives of the United
States Steel corporation and the Anal
gamated association, the representa-
tives of the United States Steel COM
pany's only arguments were that they
did not desire the Amalgamated asso-
citation to become too powerful, and
that they should hold the balance of
power.
Later conferences were held with
the heads of the United States Steel
company, who submitted a proposition
that we only sign for the mills signed
last, year, with the exception of the
sheet mills in Salisbury and Scotdale,
which were signed for the year previ-
ously, Their proposition was rejected,
as it meant that the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION would merely have to remain
in quiescent state, while they were
expanding and adding to their non
union possessions.

 The editor of a small provincial pa. per in Austria was in great difficulty to find fit subject for his leading article, having been too intent upon other business or upon pleasure to provide one. The last moment had come and the editor WAS in despair. He tortured his brain in vain when he suddenly was inspired by happy thought ana dashed off the lines: After carefully perusing the leading article written for the present number by one Of the ablest of our contributors, we have ar- rived at the conclusion that 1t may be misinterpreted by the authorities and regarded as an attack upon the gov ernment We ourselves consider It tq be perfectly innocent but, as we ara unwilling, for our readers sake, as well as for our own. to have our news paper confiscated, we have very un- willingly, though as we think, pru- dently. resolved to withdraw the artl- cle.

AS soon as he arrived in the office next morning q clerk came up to him, with a doleful expression, and raid .Herr RedaktOr the paper is confiscated by the police!"
