Loot in the Form Of Indemnity
From China.

A great number of the personal in
demnity clans will be presented by
such men. Need 1 say that such
claims should be rigidly scrutinized :?
And does it not follow that if the
whole mass of clans is 80 leavened,
that all should be subjected to equal
scrutiny? Upon careful investiga-
tion I am convinced that 81 ,0OO,0 900
would repair all the damage done to
foreign property in North China. If
the percentage of some claims I have
seen is maintained through them all,
the total will be equal to the taxable
value of an American city of 100000
inhabitants. Yet the foreign popu-
lation affected by the disturbances is
only five or six hundred. Missionary
claims even should be closely inves-
tigated, for the missionaries have col
lected large sums, often by methods
open to criticism, which they should
be compelled to credit against any in
demnity.
Now, let US take a glance at the
other class of indemnities-the gov
ernment claims. Such claims will
arise out of the fact that tie i'm
potency of the Chinese Government
to suppress internal disorders in the
empire and protect foreign residents,
forced the powers, at great expense,
to do the work for her. As to just
what China should pay for, and what
should not, there is room for great
difference of opinion. Take Ger
many's course. She sent large ex.
pedition to China, at great expense
1t arrived too late to accomplish any
legitimate purpose, but equity would
demand that she be reimbursed to that
extent. However, once in China, she
became a veritable bull in a China
shop. She instituted war of hel
own, and inflicted enormous damage
upon China, while incidentally reim
bursting herself in the way of loot
Where, now, do Germany and China
stand? How shall we arrange the
balance-sheet To Germany's credit
must be placed the expenses of hel
expedition, both coming and return
ing, and the personal claims of hel
citizens residing in China. On China's
side, equity would array the wantor
desolation of her towns, and the loo,

CONF FERENCE
 FAILS OF AN
 AGREEMENT The ama|gamated Men and Steel Officials Will Meet
 Again Today UNION MILLS WILL BE IDLE
UNION MILLS WILL BE IDLE
President Shaffer Says the Policy of the Officials Is To Operate the Plants Where Non-Union
 Men Are Employed.

Pittsburg, Pa., July 1.-The great labor ed to come to any agreement. Another conference will be held tomorrow morn ing. The object of the conference was the settlement of the strike ordered by the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers in the mills of the Am erican Sheet Steel Company and in those of the American Steel Hoop Company The conference also had another purpose in view, the prevention of general strike in all the mills controlled by the United States Steel Corporation, the two com panies in whose mills the strike had been ordered being constituent companies of the great steel combine.
 The Amalgamated Association was rep resented at the conference by:
 President, T. J. Shaffer; secretary treas urer, John Williams; assistant secretary, M F. Tighe; business manager, Benja- min I. Davis. Trustees: John Pierse of Pittsburg, Elias Jenkins of Youngstown, O., J. H. Morgan of Cambridge, O.
 Vice Presidents First division, David Rees of Pittsburg; Second district, Walter Larkins of Martins Ferry, O.; Third dis trict, Charles H. Davis of Newport, Ky; Fifth district, Glenn Karvis of Anderson; Sixth district, John F. Ward of Youngs- town, O.; Seventh district, F. J. Will Hams of Birmingham, Ala; Eighth dis trict, John Chappelle of New Castle, Pa.; {; Ninth district, John W. Quinn of Granite City, III.
 w. c. Davis of the Fourth district, Chi cago. was not present
 At the afternoon session President Shaf- fer Eaid the officials of the vsrious com panies had plainly indicated that they are working on a policy for operating their non-union plants in preference to the union mills and only working the latter when 1t is absolutely necessary. Int plan he declared, is forcing the union men to desert the union in order ito get work. The idle mills. being union. and the union men being rendered poverty stricken as the price for being members of the or ganzation, means either that the Amal- gamated Association is going to be dis banded soon, or else the non-union mills will have to be made union so that equal justice will be given to all.
 It was a matter of life and death for the Amalgama ted Association that the non-union mills be done away with, as MT. Shaffer put the situation.
 The officers of the various companies de- nied any intention of working an injustice toward union workmen in the mills.
 At 5 D. m the conference adjourned.

The Decrease Was Less Than Four Thousand Tons
 Per Month
THE STOCKS ALSO DECLINED
Production and Consumption Are Nearly Balanced and the Disposi- ton to Sell Becomes More
 Evident-No Export.

New York, July n.-Discussing condi- tions in the iron and steel trades, the Iron Age says
 Our monthly blast furnace stocks show that there has been a decline in the weekly capacity of the coke and an- thracite furnaces from 3O6, 991 tons on June l to 3O3, ,79S tons on July 1, while the stocks of pig iron in the hands of the merchant furnaces declined from 333,S13 tons on June to s27,761 tons on July 1.
 "In other words production and con- sumption nearly balanced. From all quarters come confirmatory evidence that the consumption is phenomenal. Thus a leading official of the United States Steel Corporation reports that the con- cern Is producing steel ingots at rate which makes an output of 100000 tons likely this year
 While statistically the situation Is ex- ceedingly sound, there is throughout, an uncertainty and an ill-defined feeling that we are on top of the tide, and that we may see slowly receding values. In some departments deliveries are becoming prominent premiums have disappeared and there Is more disposition to hunt for business. I mothers, notably in the wire trade however, the growing tonnage of the independent mills is beginning to tell. wire rods are being Ccred more freely on the basis of s35. pitisbuig, new sellres, small though they be, coming into the market.
 Ut Is believed that good deal of the wire nail capacity under construction will soon be available. In May it was cs- timated that out of the 5000 kegs daily requirement. in the active season. 1o,o90 kegs could be covered by outside mills The latter figure will be much enlarged before sixty days have passed.
 'Very little is being done for export. The private accounts of the situation in the German iron trade continue very gloomy. Drastic measures may be neces- sary to clear the atmosphere"
