This is but very brief synopsis Of
Mr.. Grier's address. He elaborated
frequently with illustrations, and clos
ed by touching upon the sentimental
part in such manner as to visibly af
feet his audience, some of whom were
moved to tears. He spoke of the prin-
ciples of the order, of the fraternity
and brotherhood that existed between
members, of the relief given widows
and orphans at the death of the father
aud husband, of the alienation of their
want and distress a friend in need and

The Great Steel Strike.

The Steel Trust has thrown down the
gauntlet to trades unionism aud invit-
cd q trail of strength to the finish.
President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated
Association, has issued his ultimatum,
in which he gvies the combine COM
panies, that are not at present engaged
in the struggle, ten days notice that
unless they can stop the strike by insur
ing the acceptance of the AmOlgamated
proposition, he will order n strike
among all steel workers in the United
States. The negotiations between Shat
fer and Morgan in New York last week,
having failed to accomplish their pur
pose, the situation is worse than it was
before the conference was held, from
the fact that both sides seem to. have
their necks bowed for persistent fight.
rhe whole country will regret this,
and hope will be INDUCED that the
constituent companies of the steel COM
bine may hit upon some plan by which
general strike will be averted and
the men who are at present on strike
returned to their work. From every
standpoint general strike is to be de-
p!ored, because it will paralyze the
steel trade the world over, demoralize
business in many lines and possibly
plunge some sections of the country
into anarchy. When the country is
prosperous, as at present, 1t seems that
the combined wisdom of labor and CAPT
tai could formulate some compromise
which would avert the calamity that a
general strike will bring to the country.
WHAT the strike has done and may do
are shown by the following figures:
Number of men now out... $4,000
Number of men who may be
idle on Monday, no. 900

The men have been arrested and put under bail to await the action of of the grand jury. With one ex- ception the arrested men are all eolored. They all followed the same method for increasing their pay-manufactured farms and entered them as belonging to child ren on their lists; each farm returned netting the enumerator from l5 to 50 cents.

CoIored Soldiers Return.
Darlington News llth July.

Darlington News llth July.
About twenty colored soldiers who
wen from this place to the Philip
pines about two years ago, returned
to Darlington last Saturday and
Monday. There are still about
thirty more to come, making fifty in
all. They sailed from Marila June 2
and came to the United States by
way Of Japan, taking the Northern
route from there to San Fancisco.
While they were off the Alaskan
coast the weather was cold enough
for o7ercoats and blankets. The
soldiers have been interesting their
friends since their return with tales
of their adventures, and, judging
from their statements, one would
come to the conclusion that they
found the Philippine Islands fine
country to live in. They liked the
people and had good time, with a
plenty to eat and nothing to do. 1t
is probable that number Ct them
will enlist in the army again in the
hope that they may get back to the
Philippines.
