early hours Of the morning. The machin-
ISIS and few other employees of the
pennsylvania works, to the number OF
about sixty, have not gone out, but other
wise the two properties are silent and de-
serted. The Pennsylvania men went first
quitting at o'clock last night in re-
sponse to the call Of the organizers of the
American Federation of Labor who had
been working among them for several
weeks. Then in large numbers they sur
rounded the Continental works at Franks
town and called on the workers there to
quit and join the strikers. At midnight a
large number at the Continental dropped
their tools and by this morning the last
man had left the place. The shutting
down OF the two plants adds about 800
men to the force of the strikers.
"TOp-Heavy Strike"
The success of the labor organizers in
getting the men out cheered the other
strikers to high pitch of enthusiasm.
The officials of the National Tube com
pany would not discuss the strike beyond
saying that they have been keenly disap-
pointed throughout the strike by the atti-
tude of their men and that they hope
that in time they will come to their senses
and come back. Another steel official.
when told of the strike, said
Let the good work go on Brother ShaYer
is very rapidly getting top-heavy strike
The larger his army, the quicker it will break
up. Just wait until he begins to hustle
money for strike benefits. I hope Chicago
does go out. The more the merrier.
The steel managers announced that an
other mill was on to-day at the Clark
mills and that the property was now run
ming in full. The other properties, they
said, were running to-day as they were
yesterday. They denied the story that
there had been break at Duquesne dur
ing the night
The strikers claim that they have again
crippled the Lindsay & McCutcheon mills
by taking some of the non-union men and
also capturing several skilled men into the
plaEt, but the managers say they are
working one mill as usual, and that they
will have two more mills on more before
the end of the week.
Still No Disorder.
The explosion of some railroad torpedoes
at Monessen early this morning created
some excitement and large crowds gath
cred on the streets and near the steel
mills. There were large crowds around
the newly crippled tube works in this city
day, but no disorder
Wellsville reports indicate a critical Sit
uation, but the cry of the wolf as to dis
order has been raised so often during this
strike that it is not believed now.
The organized strikers at McKeesport
plan general strike headquarters, one
feature OF which will be press bureau.

The Strike of Federation Men.
A Washington dispatch says:
president Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has not yet returned from
pennsylvania, where he has been for sew
eral days, and the only information at the
headquarters of the federation concerning the
strike OF the federation men at the Penn
sylvania Tube Works is contained in a tele-
gram from Organizer Schwartz, saying "the
men are going to strike" Under the organ
ization of the American Federation of La
Dor, the president has no power to order a
lodge to strike. The lodge itself must take
vote on the question, and it is presumed
that that has been done at the tube works
President George G. McMurtry of the
American Sheet Steel company, has re-
turned home from an extended tour of in
spection of the properties of the company.
He visited Vandergrift, Leechburg, Apol-
10, Hyde Park and Salisbury in the Kis-
kim1netas valley and also looked over the
two nonunion mills of the company at
Scottdale. He told reporter that he had
found al lof the properties in question in
highly satisfactory condition. The mills
were all running and there was no pros
pect of any trouble. He said the produc-
tion was above the maximum average for
this season of the year.
1t Is believed men are being brought
here from Detroit to aid in breaking the
strike at the Lindsay and McCutcheon
mills. The strikers say they expect them
on Thursday morning.
The strike leaders seem to think that
the men at Chicago will soon come over.
Assistant Secretary Tighe said:
II really believe the Chicago men will
be out within a week.
President Shaffer said:
"The situation is satisfactory to US.
The fact that the mills are not shipping
any product shows that they are not max
ing it. The strike at the Pennsylvania
and Continental mills was not surprise
to me. Slowly but surely we are
creeping ahead"

fishing a leading editorial headed 1.-THE
Coming Great ISSUE" in which it pre-
dicted that in 1904 the peaceful annexation
OF Cuba would be paramount issue, the
democratic party favoring it and the re-
publican party opposing, with chances
strongly in favor of democratic success
The Post, while Independent politically,
is known to reflect advanced democratic
opinion on nearly every important ques-
tion, and for that reason it's Cuban ut
terance to-day is believed to be of consid
erable significance. 1t says in part:
1t is the proud claim of democracy that it
forced the government into the war of 1893,
the war for humanity, one of the great re-
suits of which was the placing of Cuba under
our care. Whatever may be said of that
sentimental pledge Of independence we all
know that Cuba cannot have absolute indie
pendence. The intelligent Inhabitants of the
island recognize as clearly as do the people
of the United States that, in the interest of
all concerned, the republic must maintain
its hold upon and supervision over Cuba.
There is every probability that in 1904 If
not earlier, the annexation sentiment in Cuba
will be dominant. Admitted as territory,
with free access for her sugar and tobacco
to our market, Cuba would be as prosper
Gus any country on the globe has ever
been. Kept out of the union, and her sugar
and tobacco subjected to heavy import du-
ties, Cuba will not be prosperous. Present
indications point to the adoption Of the latter
policy by the republican party. The demands
OF protected interests for continued prOtec-
ton are increasing in vehemence. The old
dream of statesmen and patriots that behold
Cuba under 1.-The star-spangled banner for
ever is likely to be summarily dismissed
by the party in power
In that event democracy which points with
pride to its influence in starting war for
Cuban liberation, will have great, a very
much alive, and, it is believed, winning
issue within its reach. Will it be equal to
the occasion?
