publish the following receipt of naval
officer for keeping cool while in beds
"Go toa carpet dealer and have him
cut pieces of straw mating just the size
of your bed. Sew them together AID

THE MACHINISTS' STRIKE
The Fight to be Transferred to the
Pacific Coast

San Francisco, July 17.-There is to be
"a transfer of the machinists' strike from
the east to this city. Thomas L. Will
son. fourth vice president of the inter-
national association of machinists says:
1--WE have the assurance Of the inter-
national grand lodge that the funds will
be forthcoming for a finish fight in San
francisco. Eighty-five per cent. of
the men u on strike in the east have
been granted their demands and 20 per
cent. Of the men have returned to work
at the old schedule. 1t is our expecta-
Ition that we will call the latter out
within a yea and have them on a
Equality with the others"
In addition to the machinists and 9TH
ers connected with the American Fed
.leration of Labor, the international asso-
Iciation of machinistS and local organi-
IgationS, it is stated, propose to raise a
strike fund Of 500, 900 a week which will
he SEM to San Francisco to carry out
1.-THE plans of the strike leaders who are
confident that with this amount at
their disposal success is assured.

stove manufacturers Is also great, as
the mills are closed which make a spe-
cialty or stove IRON This Is n heavy
season for making stoves. About 1000
or $500 tons of steel hoops. bands n
cotton ties are being lost daily by the
American Steel Hoop Company by rea-
son Of the strike, and this represents
a daily loss in money OF $4,000. 1t is
estimated that the men are losing in
wage $780, 900. The tin workers will
lose $1,000 daily in addition.
In addition to all of these losses the
many and various industries crippled
now and in prospect represent losses to
the men of large sums that canno be
computed now. The Amalgamated men
are said TO have a fund of over s200, 900
and men employed can be called on for
contributions.
National Organizer Thomas II. Flynn.
Of the American Federation OF Labor,
came to Pitttsburg from Washington
today and after a consultation with
the officials of the Am2lgamated Asso-
citation, pledged the support OF the fed
Grafton in the strike. In an interview
Mr.. Flynn said the federation had a
membership Of 2.5o0.0 900 and they could
make an assessment when any OF the
organizations affiliated with them were
in need Of assistance. He said he had
just settled a strike Of 1000 tube work
ers and iron workers at Reading and
these men announced that they would
contribute 81 a week each. All mem
bers could not afford this. but an as
sessment of five cents each would yield
800, 900 and would not be missed by the
members.
Youngstown. o., July 1.-THE Anal
gamated worke in the youngstown

Company, have notified President Shat

every two weeks to the strikers fund.
| About 500 members agreed to this which
will net about $4,000 per month. The
workers are also rapidly securing jobs
in their mills for the striking steel
hoop men.
Elwood. Ind. July lit was an
| nounced here today hat the Tin Plate
| Workers Protective Association will
stand by the Amalgamated Association
and refuse to work plates in any steel
trust" mill made or sheared by non
| union men. This announcement was
made by President George Powell, of
the Tin Workers Protective Asocia-
ton, who said:
I'VE made an agreement with the
American Tin Plate Company which
begins today and runs to July 10, 1907.
This agreement we are legally bound to

While we shall strive to live up to our

Pittsburg, July 17.-At Monessen, Pa,
| about 500 men of the steel hoop mills
are out. Much pressure is being
brought to bear on the 500 men OF the
tin works, and it is now considered
more than probable that they will re-
fuse to quit. Notices were today post
ed in the tin mill granting a voluntary
| advance of 10 per cent. to heaters and
| catchers and s per cen to the rollers.
The Monessen mill has a greater out
put than any other mill in the combine.
