Sioux City, Ia, July 12.-The lives
Of about fifty people were probably
saved by Mrs. Frank Zurcher, a farm
ers wife, living near Osmond, Neb.
The train leaving Sioux City over the
Pacific Short line, bound for O'Neill,
Neb., was stopped just before it was to
have plunged across a short bridge
that had been on fire and was unsafe.
After fighting the flames with her
sons until they were eXtinguished the
woman ran down the track and tagged
the passenger with her apron. On the
east side of the bridge there is a deep
cut and curve, and it would have
been impossible for the engineer to
have seen the danger ahead in time to
stop his engine and avert an accident.

DECIDES ON A GENERAL STRIKE
shaffer Proposes to Play His Whole Hand
at the Very Outset.

.
Pittsburg, July 15.-president Shat
fer late last night said he received on
Saturday night from the American
Steel Hoop company officials request
for the Amalgamated scale committee
TO meet them at the Hotel Lincoln next
week. The proposition the company
made was that ii would sign the scale
for the pudding department of the
Lindsay and McCutcheon mill. Shat
fer said the invitation was refused be-
cause the association could sign only
for the entire plant. including puddlers.
finishers and all other skilled men
alike.
President Shaffer also announced
that today he would prepare a circular
letter which will be mailed mt once to
reach every member of the association

stituent plant of the United States
Steel Corporation. The letter will
state fully the present conditions fac
ing the workmen, the reasons for the
failure Of the conference of last week
and ordering every man to go on strike
to uphold the principle involved. He
said ii would be probably week be-
fore he could hear from all lodges
through the official sources, but wheth-
err he hears or not, he knows that i'm all
regularly organized mills the men will
obey at once. In SOME of the partially
organized mills some correspondence
may follow the order, but within a
week all will he out.
With the "A 600 men affected by the
original order calling ont the sheet
steel, steel hoop and tin workers. this
general order will increase the number
TO more than 10000. and will involve
the Federal Steel company. the Nation
al Steel company and the National
Tube company.
The Post says: "Fifty thousand
miners employed in the many mines of
the Pittsburg district are willing to
lay down their picks. walk out of the
mines and assist the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION In their fight against the
steel trust. Patrick Dolan. district
president OF the United Mine Workers,
Is authority for this statement, and II
necessary the miners will Immediately

The Amalgamated Association and
the Federation of Labor two years ago
formed secret alliance, II Is claimed
when it was agreed that the Associa-
ton, when on strike. could also call out
the sreel men of the Federation. The
latter has organizations in many mills

AMALGAMATED RESOLVES ON WAR
Struggle May Involve the Federation
of Labor and Workers by the
Hundred Thousand
Skaters Tactics.

Pittsburg July 15.-President Shat
fer, of the Amalgamated Association,
has issued general order. ordering all
Amalgamated men in any plant of the
United States Steel Corporation on IA
strike. This involves, with the order
of Saturday, about 10000 men.
Pittsburg. July 15.-From present
indications it looks probable that Pres
ident Skaters strike order, issued
Saturday night to the Amalgamated
Association members in the employ OF
the American Steel Hoop company, the
American Sheet Steel company and the
American Tinplate company will be
obeyed unanimously. 1.-The strike was
not of our own seeking" said Presi-
dent Shaffer yesterday. 1t was forced
upon us. We were not contending for
wages, but for principle-for self-pres-
eryatiOn. The tin and sheet people
will not be able to turn a single wheel
tomorrow. We have our forces thor
oughly organized, and there will be
some surprises in store. The order
will be promptly obeyed by all our
men,"
Says There Will Ise no Trouble"
But there will be no trouble. La
Dor organizations have changed. The
Amalgamated Association is not the
association it was twenty years ago,
not even five years ago. The men are
more readily controlled; in fact, we
have our men under control" De-
yelOpments indicate that Pittsburg is
going to be a pretty lively strike CEN
ter. The most interest attaches to the
Painters mill" on the south side and
TO that of Lindsay & McCutcheon in
Allegheny Both mills are controlled
by the American Sheet Hoop company
and have hitherto been aggressively
non-union. and much depends upon
the action taken by the men In these
plants.
Conference Was Failure.
All the foregoing is apropos Of the
fact that last weeks conference be-
tween the steel magnates' representa-
tives and those of the Amalgamated
Association was a failure. After a
three days session the conference adj
journed finally at 6 p. m. Saturday
without reaching an agreement. In
less than an hour later President Shat
fer, of the Amalgamated Association,
had wired the order TO all the Anal
gamated lodges in the tinplate, steel
hoop and sheet steel mills Of the coun-
try to strike today. not going to work
this morning. For the present Presi-
dent Shaffer says that only the three
companies named will be affected, but
later all the union men In the Federal
steel company. National Steel company
and National Tube company may be
called out At the start. it is claimed.
$4,000 skilled workmen, 10000 I'M
skilled men and. indirectly. many thou
sands more will be affected The con-
ference failed because the employers
would not agree to unionize all their
mills, and to abrogate all contracts
with men binding them not to connect
themselves with the Amalgamated.

A pretty story is told in one Of
Mr.. Ruskin's books, "Christ's Folk In
the Apcnnines,' of the late King Hum
bert's pleasant accessibility.
A contadino had come down to Luc-
ca from somewhere in the mountains
with a petition which he wished to pre-
sent to the king, but when he saw
him with his seguito he did not know
who he was. Probably the poor mans
only idea of king was gathered from
some picture of the alteration of the
wise men. SO he looked at all of them
and rather thought the king was not
there, but perhaps one of these gen.
tlemen would convey the paper to
him And being taken with the kings
pleasant face he went to him in prefer

Salt.

.Spilling salt was held to be an I'M
lucky omen by the Romans, and the
superstition has descended to our
selves. Leonard de Vinci availed him
self of this tradition in his famous
picture of the Lords Supper to in
dictate Judas Iscariot by the saltcellar
knocked over by his arm. Salt was
used in the sacrifice by the Greeks and
Romans and also by the Jews. 1t was
an emblem of purity and of the sanctl-
flying influence on others of a holy
life. Hence our LORD tells his disci-
pies, ''Ye are the salt of the earth"
The salt being split after it was placed
On the head of the victim was conSid-
cred bad omen, being supposed to
signify that the sacrifice was not ac-
cepted, and hence the superstition.
When we say of the shiftless fell
low that he does not earn his SALT
we unconsciOusly allude to an ancient
custom among the Romans Among
them a man was sa to be in posses
sion of a ''salar, who had his
"salarium," his allowance of salt mon
ey, or salt, wherewith to SAVIOR the
food by which he lived. Thus salary
comes from salt, and in view of the
word how many there are who do not
learn their SALT
