the steel workers yesterday by Vice
PresideN Davis statement that the or
der had arrived and 1t was "up to the
men to vote" All offers and plans OF
compromise were thus suddenly de-
stroyed in one single stroke. It was
hoped that the order might be construed
or interpreted to read into 1t cause for
delay, that double assessment Of the
wages earned, equivalent to 20 per cent,
might be paid to the national organiza-
ton In lieu Of being excepted from the
strike order. This, Mr.. Davis told the
men, was utterly impossible, and that
they must choose the course they wished
to pursue within twenty-four hours pre-
ceding o'clock Monday morning.
Under present conditions the steel
workers in South Chicago feel they are
about to be ground to pieces between the
two stones representing combination
of capital and combination of labor.
They say IL they strike now without a
single grievance against the Illinois
Steel Company they never will be per-
mitted to return to their former places
of employment. II they refuse to strike
their charter in the Amalgamated Asso-
ciation will be revoked instanter, and

organizations in the world.

treacherous in the hour of victory. but
everyone knows that a manager of a
state campaign ought to be one who has
the full confidence of the candidate for
governor and who puts in his love and
admiration to make full weight. H. G..
Mcmillan stated yesterday TO your cor
respondent that he would be in favor
OF the committee selecting as chairman
some man who might be designated by
Mr.. Cummins or the candidates. He be-
heVed, he said that it was due to them
that they should have a chairman of
their own choosing. James E. Blythe
stated that he knew no reason why the
chairman could not be selected from
some cne outside of the committee Ii
has been suggested that the committee
might take up Mr.. Leach, of this dis
trict, whose experience on the commit
tee fits him for the place, and make him
chairman. Or, for that matter a num-
Der OF good men might be named. who
would be satisfactory to the candidates
on the ticket. 1t has also been suggested
that If the committee did not care to
organize permanently on this basis an
executive committee or special cam
paign committee might be created
whose membership would be satlsfac-
tory to the ticket named at Cedar Rap
ids. The call for the committing to or
ganize has not yet been issued

incidentally the Des Moines people
are singing the praises of Tom WAY. the

fight for John Heriott. Way had an up-
hill fight on his hands all the time and
he proved himself to be general Will
son showed himself to be the ever faith
full friend of Herriott, and if conditions
had been different and Cummins had not
been in the race to profit by the senti-
ment worked up for Herriott in many
places, Wilson could have made win
ming fight. AS 1t was, everybody con-
cedes that he made splendid fight.
Few persons knew that on the stage

The preliminary correspondence shows
the proclamation was based on sugges-
tions which the government of Natal
forwarded to Secretary Chamberlain,
and the date, Sept. Is, was recommend
ed by Lord Miner.
The reasons of the government for
the proclamation are set forth in the
preamble to the proclamation as fol-
lows: Whereas, The late Orange
Free States and South African republic
dominions. and his majesty's forces are
aral have been for some considerable
time in complete possession OF the gov
ernment OF both the aforesaid terri
tories with their public offices and
whole machinery of administration as
well as the principal towns and whole
railways. and the great majority of
burghers Of the two late republics. to
the number OF $4,000. exclusive of those
who have fallen IN war, are now either
prisoners or have submitted to his ma
jesty's government and are living
peaceably in towns and camps. under
control of his majesty's forces. and the
burghers OF the late republics still in
arms are not only few in number, but
have lost almost all guns and munitions
OF war and are devoid Of regular mill
tary organization and are therefore un-
able to carry on regular warfare or to
offer and organized resistance to his
majesty's forces in any part of the
country and those burghers who are
still in arms, tho unable to carry on
regular warfare, continue to. make iso-
lated attacks upon small outposts and
detachments of his majesty's forces, to
plunder or destroy property. to damage
the railway and telegraph lines of the
country and thus have kept it in a
state Of disturbance. checking re-
sumption of agricultural and industrial
pursuits, his majesty's government is
determined to put an end to things
which are aimlessly prolonging the
bloodshed and destruction and inflict-
ing ruin upon the great majority of in
habitants, who live in peace and earn a
livelihood for themselves and families.
1t is just to proceed against these still
resisting, especially against those per-
sons who, being in positions of author
ity. are responsible for the continuance
of the present state of lawlessness and
are instigating their fellow burghers
to continue their hopeless resistance to
his majesty's government.'
The afternoon newspapers comment
|approvingly upon the proclamation, but
express doubt II 1t will have any effect
on shortening the war.
