While the decision of the workers had
been anticipated their actions yesterday
showed that they wished to have thor
ough understanding with the company
before they took q final vote on the
question. For that purpose the scale
committee, consisting of fifteen mem
bers, visited the officials of the company
early in the forenoon to learn whether
the company would live up to the agree
ment in the event OF the local lodges be-
ing suspended by the national organiza-
ton. AS the agreement was signed In
the name OF the Amalgamated Associa-
ton 1t was argued that in the event Of
suspension the workers in South Chica-
go would be without any agreement and
the company might use them as it saw
fit.
The committee was assured by Super
intendent Mccullough that the present
scale of wages would be paid, altho only
one man might decide to remain at
work. He said the company had no In
tention of taking advantage of the tech
nicality. 1t made no difference whether
the men were members OF the Amalga-
mated Association or not, the scale
would remain in force until 1t expired,
on Dec. 81. according to the agreement
With this point settled, the committee
went to the meeting at O'Clock satisfied
that there would be no srike, and that
the meeting would not last an hour.
They were mistaken on the latter prop
osition, however. as the men stayed in
session for almost four hours. Before
the vote was taken and during the dis-
cussion telegram from the men in
Milwaukee was read, stating that they
had voted to disregard the strike order
and remain at work. The telegram had
an Immense effect and brought over the
men who were urging radical action to
the more conservative element. The men
at Joliet also refuse to obey, so that the
order will not become effective in the
Fourth district. One of the officers said
last night that he considered the matter
settled, altho he admitted that he ex-
pected efforts to be made to get the men
to reconsider the action they had taken
II the strike was not settled soon.

ing the Future.
Steel Strike Largely Responsible
for the Depress in
Wall Street.
The Amalsamated Strike Lead.
ers Severely Criticised.
Crop Report.

New York, Aug. 12.-Henry Clews in
his Financial Review says:
Wall street has been almost entirely
Dominated by the great steel strike, the
steel stocks themselves having discount
ed the influence more perhaps than the
general market. This shows how seri-
ously capital views the question at is
sue. The struggle is not for wages or
hours. The men are generally we'll en-
pioyed and are earning good wages;
hence there is little suffering except
what is self-infiicted: and the strikers
nave thus far received little public sym
Pathy, except from the radical elements
OF trades unionism. The strikers wish to
compel the steel management to employ
union men at some of its mills whether
II Will or no. It aims to solid:fy labor
into trust OF the mightiest and most
tyrannical sort, and deprive employers
OF their rightful liberty to employ union
or non-union labor as they see fit: to
compel non-union men to join forces or
lose their occupation. In short it aims
to do nothing less than run the mills
themselves, and assume a dictatorship
more tyrannical and dangerous than
that ever conceived by any combination
OF capital. If successful there would be
Q Wholesale migration of capital. There
may be some trade combinations which
possess Objectionable features, but none
whose managers have given thought to
such unjust measures as the Amalga-
mated Association is attempting.
The right of labor to organize is freely
admitted, and labor leaders must learn
that employers have the right to utilize
Union or non-union labor as they see fit.
II is a mistake to say the life Of union
ism is at stake in this struggle; should
the strike fail, as it probably will,
unions will exist as before, but their at
tempt to wrest control from the owners
of property must be defeated or the
country would face crisis and depres-
sion too dangerous to be contemplated.
Beyond crop and labor troubles there
is little to say. The money market is in
easy condition, and likely to remain so
until crop and trade requirements begin
to be felt. The demand on speculative
account is limited, and liquidation has
undoubtedly helped to swell the bank
reserves. There is some talk of gold ex
ports, which however can not be very
heavy with the outward movement of
cotton and grain close at hand. We are
already shipping heavy quantities Of
wheat to meet foreign requirements.
Gold from the Klondike has been coming
in considerable quantities. and the Afri-
can mines will soon be resuming opera
tions on a scale of increasing conse-
quence. There Is no reason for anxiety
concerning the future. The market is
resting from period Of excessive spec
ulation. and prices are settling down to
more normal conditions. Quotations
were in many cases unreasonably high;
and. il they are allowed to drift to still
lower basis, it will only make the sub
sequent recovery the more substantial.

The fact Is that, for the time being,
unstinted indulgence in loan raising
floods London with banking credit,
much OF which would not be available

day or two perhaps during the week
credit collected by payments on account
of large issues of the debt may produce
a market impoverishment, but under the
present circumstances money has been
paid out as fast as it comes in. Money
gathered from all ends of the earth is
thrown back upon the market, which is
often unable to use it. and a long time
may elapse before the city feels the full
effects Of the recent large additions to
the national debt. That we are busy
creating bull account in consols shows
our confidence.
So heavy are the government pay

mains only E26.0000oo to come in, and
my belief is that before the end of the
