DECIDES ON A GENERAL STRIKE


Shntfer Froposes to Play His Whole Hand
1t tI.e Very Outset.
Pittsbrrg, July 15.-President Shat
fer late last night said he received on
Saturday night from the American
Steel Hoop company officials request
for the Analgamated scale committee
to meet them at the Hotel Lincoln nexi
week. The proposition the company
made was that it would sign the scale
for the pudding department of tile
Lindsay and McCutcheon mill. Shat
fer said the invitation was refused he
cause the association could sign only
for the entire plant, including puddlers.
finishers and all other skilled men
alike.
President Shaffer also announced
that today he would prepare a circular
letter which will be mailed at once to
reach every member of the association
employed by any mill operating con-
stituent plant of the United States
Steel Corporation. The letter will
state fully the present conditions fac
ing the workmen, the reasons for the
failure of the conference of last weel,
and ordering every man to go on strike
to uphold the principle involved. He
said 1t would be probably week be-
fore he could hear from all lodges
through the official sources, but wheth.
er he hears or not. he knows that in all
regularly organized mills the men will
obey at once. In some of the partially
organized mills some correspondence
may follow the order, but within a
week all will be out.
With the $4,000 men affected by the
original order calling out the sheet
steel, steel hoop and tin workers, this
general order will increase the number
to more than 100000, and will involve
the Federal Steel company, the Nation
al Steel company and the National
Tube company.
The Post says: "Fifty thousand
miners employed in the many mines OF
the pittsburg district are willing tc
lay down their picks. walk out of the
mines and assist the Amalgamated AS
| ISOLATION in their fight against the
steel trust. Patrick Dolan, district
president of the United Mine Workers
is authority for this statement, and II
necessary the miners will Immediately
quit work"
The Amalgamated Association and
the Federation of Labor two years age
formed secret alliance, it is claimed
when it was agreed that the Associa
tlon, when on strike, could also call out
the steel men of the Federation. The
latter has organizations in many mills
whose workmen are not eligible tic
membership in the association. The

CLOSED IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
Enienvor International Convention at Gin
cinnati Comes to an Ind.


cinnnti Comes to an Ind.
Cincinnati, July LITTLE twentieth
international convention of the United
Society of Christian Endeavor was
brought to close here last night in q
blaze of glory. The programme for
yesterday was arranged upon a more
elaborate scale than that Of the pre-
vious four days, but owing to the con-
solidation' of the three into two big
meetings the speakers were requested
to boil down their addresses to allow
the speakers who were to have partici-
paid in Auditorium Ohio to speak with
them in the other two auditoriums.
The "quiet hour" meetings again
ushered in the days programme.
Auditoriums Dndeavor and Williston
were then used for two big rallies in
the morning, which We're devoted to n
discussion of the twentieth anniversary
session of the society. The afternoon
rallies were given over to the mission
aries for discussion of their needs.
The story of the siege of the city of
Pekin was told by the Rev. Courtenay
81. Penn, of Picking, China, who was
one of the ministers besieged by the
Boxers in that city. His story of Box
er atrocities brought tears to many
eyes, and he said that the mission
aries stand ready to return to these
shambles and again begin their work.
The climax of the convention was
reached in the two great farewell
meetings, held simultaneously in Au-
ditoriums Endeavor and Williston at
night Fully 10000 people We're pres
ent. After many stirring scenes and
speeches President Clark spoke ''the
last word" and then, with arms out
stretched, he pronounced the benedic-
ton and the convention Of the Chris
tian Endeayorers adjourned to meet no
more until 1903

''But there will be no trouble. La
Dor organizations have changed. The
Amalgamated Association is not the
association it was twenty years ago,
not even five years ago. The men are

have our men under control" De-
velopments indicate that Pittsburg is
going to be n pretty lively strike CEN
ter. The most interest attaches to the
painters mill" on the south side, and
to that of Lindsay & McCutcheon in
Allegheny. Both mills are controlled
by the American Sheet Hoop company
and have hitherto been aggressively
nonunion, and much depends upon
the action taken by the men in these
plants.

Conference Wa. n Failure.


All the foregoing is apropos of the
fact that last weeks conference he
tween the steel magnates' representa-
tives and those of the Amalgamated
Association was failure. After a
three days session the conference adj
journed finally at G p. m. Saturday
without reaching an agreement. In
less than an hour later President Shat
fer, of the Amalgamated Association,
had wired the order to all the Anal
gamated lodges in the tinplate, steel
hoop and sheet steel mills of the coun-
try to strike today, not going to work
this morning. For the present Presi-
dent Shaffer says that only the three
companies named will be affected, but
later all the union men in the Federal
steel company, National Steel company
and National Tube company may be
called out. AT the start, 1t is claimed,
$4,000 skilled workmen, 10000 I'M
skilled men and. Indirectly, many thou
sands more will be affected. The con-
ference failed because the employers
would not agree to unioniZe all their
mills, and to abrogate all contracts
with men binding them not to connect
themselves with the Amalgamated.

Railroad Building.

The Forum says: The Great Northern
line from Granville to the Deep River
country and from Granville via Balfour
to Ellendale, N. D., and the Northern
Pacific from Oberon to Balfour and the
Dogden ranges southwest of Balfour and
from Oberon east through the Devils
Lake Indian reservation to Larimore,
are the topics most interesting to the
new settlers in the east and south sides
of McHenry county. The surveyors of
the N. P. are now operating in the pass
through the sand hills about twelve
miles east of Balfour. The destination
of the N. P. branch is said to be the
cattle country around Dogden. The
stock is now driven to Velva and shipped
via the 500. If the N. p. strikes the
Dogden ranges it will unquestionably
get all the stock from the hills south and
west, of that point besides running
through the richest farming country in
the world, the Dogden valley. The
Dogden valley is settled by Americans
and Russians and the hills just beyond
are loaded with coal underneath the soil
and stock on top.

The Red Flag.

The red button and the red flag have
been the emblem of labor and revolu-
tion for more than 5000 years. In the
ancient world the favorite colors of the
aristocracy were white and azure blue,
while red was plebeian. Minerva and
Ceres, the goddesses of labor and agri-
culture, were. always represented as
dressed in flaming red, and the ban
ners of the Greek and Roman trade
unions We're of the same color. The red
flag nowhere in antiquity meant feroc-
ity and slaughter, but rather typified
the, fact that all men, whether slaves
or masters, had in their veins the same
blood and in their nature the same hu-
manjty,
2 But in the frequent servile wars OF
Italy and Greece the red flag gradually
became the emblem not Of labor, but of
revolt. At one time when the rebel.
Hous slaves and gladiators under Spar.
tacus defeated three Roman armies the
red flag was on the point OF supplant.
ing the eagle in the imperial city itself.
It is related that the labor soldiers
were so. fanatically devoted to thei,
flag that it was the custom Of thei,
generals when in battle to hurl 1t fal
into the ienemy's ranks and SO compel
Its deyotees to rush forward and recov.
er it.-New York Post.

The | SUPREME COURT
Spring Term Of the Supreme Court
Begins its Work at Fargo Tues
ri. h. "a: (. e. e s day Of Next Week. .s@=.
About Fifty Cases For Hearing at
the Two Sessions Of the Term
Z at Fargo and Bismarck. =

4 The spring term of the supreme court
of the state convenes at Fargo Tuesday,
with Judges Morgan, Young and Wallin
and the bench. This will be the first
time Judge Morgan has sat for the hear
ing Of cases since his election There
are about fifty cases. on the calendar.
Under the law the first session of the
term, two weeks, will be held at Fargo
and the second session at Bismarck, in
April.
% Some of the cases that will come up
for hearing are Of general interest and
Importance. Possibly the case involving
the largest amount is thatof Cans Rosen-
baum, the famous sheep case that has
been knocking about from court to
court in the state for eight years. The
case originally involved the ownership
of.a band of several thousand sheep, and
after the last trial before Judge Fisk,
Cans lost the case and paid over Judg-
ment of $4,000 to the Rosenbaums. The
payment was accompanied with an ap-
peal to the upper court, and the decision
of the supreme court at this trial will be
final. There area dozen lawyers retained
on both sides Of the case, the counsel
including former Chief Justice Bartholo-
NEW Of this city, and attorneys from
this state, ST. Paul and Chicago.
Another case of importance is that of
Roberts vs.. the Fargo Gas & Electric
company, involving the legality of the
contract for street lighting between tho
Lefty of Fargo and the electric light com
pany. Judge Pollock held on the trial
in the lower court that the contract was
valid and an appeal was taken. :: :.
Another case to be tried involves the
legality of taxes collected by Mercer
county on property in. territory that was
once attached to that county by law, but
which was afterward held by the supreme
court to have been illegally attached.
Owners Of stock brought suit to have
the taxes set, aside on the ground that
the county had no right to collect them.
This case involves several thousand dol
lars Of taxes, =.
I The case of the state vs. Donovan, from
Cavalier county, will be watched with
interest by the temperance element of
the state. This is another of the en-
forcement leagues cases against drug
gist, who was arrested for the alleged
violation of the prohibition law. There
is question as to what damages can be
collected from druggist bond in case his
violation of the law can be established,
and the enforcement legue is interested
in. securing an opinion from the supreme
| court on the subject. t%:.

Settlers Continue to Take Advantage
of the Western Homeseekers' Ex-
cursion. y
st. Paul, March 22.-Seven trains
laden with homeseekers went west from
st. Paul yesterday and last night. Or
this number the Great Northern sent
out two heavily loaded trains containing
passengers bound almost exclusively for
Washington. The Northern Pacific
regular and extra were also we'll filled
with intending settlers who are ticketed
for Washington and Northern Idaho.
The Great Northern regular train for
North Dakota and two extras from Kan
sas City that arrived over the Chicago
Great Western last evening were sent
out to Devils Lake.
In the North Dakota party there were
36 cars, with about 600 homeseekers &C.

train was made up of household effects
of the, immigrants, and comprised %
cars. In this party are a large number
of the religious denomination of Dunk
ards, who have gone to North Dakota to
settle near their former friends and rel
atives who secured homes two years ago.
The four trains on the Northern Pa
cifc and Great Northern carried about
1000 passengers, aggregating for the two
days movement of about 2,400 persons
toward the far northwest. Among the
homeseekers yesterday it was said that
there was not single foreign born per-
sou, the movement comprising native
born Americans from the southern, mid
die and eastern states. g. ...
Missouri gave up the largest portion
of the settlers bound for North Dakota
while Michigan, Indiana and Illinois
sent large contingent for Washington
Nearly all of the trains from the south
and east we're held up by the great
storm that prevailed in the west, and
the Missouri party came in late after

tered Tuesday night which practically
stalled the trains. The regular train or
