Pittsburg, Fa- Aug. 12.-The strike
against the steel trust Is now on as far
as 1t Is likely to 20. and for the first
time there Is an opportunity to deter
mine the exact number of men Idle
under the two orders of Shafer-the
first of July 10Th, the last Of August
10th.
The number of men now out In all
affected departments OF the United
States Steel Corporation does not ex-
ceed 10000. The officials of the Anal
gnmated association had hoped for as
many as 100000. They are facing,
therefore. n serious disappointment.
Shaffer's first order affected the men
of the American Steel Company, the
American Steel Hoop Company and
the American Tin Plate Company.
The mills Of these companies had been
thoroughly unionized. and. with the
exception of perhaps 1000 men. every
Amalgamated man quit his work, car
rying with him those whose labor de-
pended on his skin. Although the
AmaigAmatcd association claimed that
~, 600 were Idle, the conservative esth
mate Of the number Is closer to 10000.
The second order, after The failure
OF the New York conference Of August
I'd, applied to the men of the Federal
Steel Company, the National Steel
Company and the National Tube Com
pnny.

COWBOY TOURNAMENT AT
MOUNTAIN AND PLAIN CARNIVAL

Denver, Aug. ia cowboy tourna-
ment. the most unique and thrilling
spectacle the West could afford, will
be the star attraction of the first day
of the carnival this fall. The commit
tee on this part of the program have
decided on the feature as submitted
by j. NJ. Kuykendall, and preparations
will at once begin for wild west,
cow-punchlng, "broncho busting" exhi-
bitlon that will surpass anything Of a
similar nature since the early days Uf
the plains. Buffalo Bill'' will be n
guest of honor.

riders to the tournament prize belt,

three of Its picked men. A state con.
test in each case will decide who shall
have the honor of representing the
commonwealth Mt this gathering, and
thus the flower of western rough riders
will participate in the Denver con-
tests.
"The chief thing about this cowboy
tournament" said Mr.. Kuykendall,
who is enthusiastically entering into
the plan, ''is that nothing like it has
ever been held in the West, or any
where, for that matter. Under the
plan of choosing these riders we will
have here in Denver the pick OF all the
cow-punchers in the West and in Old
Mexico"
The judges will be old-timc cattle

early days. THE chief guest is to be
