TO CONPETE WITH STEEL TRUST.
CLERGUE SYNDICATE ASKS SWEEPING
CHARTER FROM CONNECTICUT
LEGISLATURE.

Ne"-haVen, Corn, April IS (SpeciaD.-The
state Senate to-day received the favorable re-
port OF the Committee on Interpretations on the
amendments asked for by the Consolidated Lake
superior Company. better known the
Clergue Syndicate This company is capitalized
at HZnooo,Uu. 1t secured special charter from
thls state IN 1897 and has since been developing
power and nickel and iron ore mines in Canada
and Michigan and is opera ting power canals on
both sides of the Sault Ste Marie. The COM
pany is now building a railroad from the Straits
to junction with the Canadian Pacific, but
ing to the restrictions of its charter unable to
operate the railroad except through another
company.
The amendment gives the Clergue syndicate
the right to own and operate railroads Of its
own, steamships and sailing vessels to purchase
the plants securities of other concerns In the
same business, to carry its business in any
State or Territory In the United States in
Canada, and to increase its capital stock to
any amount deemed necessary providing two
thirds of the stockholders vote for the same.
The restriction is made. however, that the COM
pany shall not operate in this State unless
through a special charter The amendment
gives the company all the powers the company
would have if organized under the general law
of 1899.
The amendments asked for in order that
the transportation business and the mining and
manufacturing departments of the Clergue
syndicate may be consolidated. One of the cor
porators in this State says that the Cergue
syndicate is now operating the only important
opened mines in Canada that it is to compete
with the Steel Trust in this country. and that
its ores will be largely consumed in their own
works for the manufacture of steel for export to
Europe Nickel steel, wood pulp and steel rails
are now the main articles of manufacture by
the syndicate. and to transport these to the
consuming stations the railroad will be
used, as well as sailing and steamship lines on
the lakes The company as a possible rival of
the steel Trust may be important to American
~ Indnuiacturers, as it now has a large market
both in this country Canada and Europe.

BIG WORSTED MILLS CLOSED.
CAUSE-THIRTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE
OUT OF WORK AT FULTON.

Syracuse, n. Y, April 1s.-A dispatch TO THE
Post st-Standard" from Fulton says that the big mills
there OF the American Worsted Company were
closed to-day and 1900 employees are out of work.
At noon the weavers informed that the doors
would be closed against them for an indefinite
period and all hands ordered out. What the
real cause of the trouble is one seems to know
positively The generally credited rumor Is that
the operatives have for time been disturbed
because so many learners had been brought into
the weaving sheds and the weavers compelled to
teach them, and by doing suffer considerable
loss as they received recompense for the In
structions given To-day this state or things
reached a climax. 1t is said. when one or two
learners were introduced. The weavers positively
refused to instruct them, preferring to quit than
submit to what they deemed to be an injustice
When Superintendent Wedent discovered the sit
uation he conferred with the men. and, finding 1t
impossible bring about settlement, he tele-
a peremptory order to shut out all hands in every
department and close the mill indefinitely.
Another report is that the trust combine of
which these mills a part intended to close them
for reasons known here The contemplated
action was FASTENED by the attitude of the men,
Mr. Wedent night admitted that the mills were
indefinitely, but refused TO give further in
formation The mills employ about thirteen hun
dred persons and complete stoppage of work Will
