Plttsburg, Aug. 1.-THE great steel
strike is on. President Shaffer's or
der became effective yesterday and
the workers left their places to re-
turn sometime in the future. either
victorious over the iron masters or in
humble defeat. The order to strike
was generally obeyed wherever work
ers were organized and enrolled in the
lodges Of the Amalgamated associa-
ton but it will be Monday before an
accurate count can be made of the
men who have gone out. The great
majority of mills close Saturday TO
reopen Sunday night and a true test
Of strength Of the contending sides
will be furnished by the number of
men who return to work today and to-
morrow. The policy of the American
Federation of Labor has not yet been
fully disclosed and that fact contrib
utes another element of uncertainty
to the situation. The action of the ex-
ecutive committee of mine workers
at indianapolis yesterday in resolving
to support the strike cheered the
Amalgamated men and they are con-
fident the federation will aid them to
the fullest extent.
The closing hours of labor and the
opening hours of the strike lacked any
spectacular action. This city, which
is the strike center, is calm and undis-
turbed. There is no excitement or
violence and the pulse of the commu-
II,
series of demonstrations in outlying
towns and Shaffer spoke a final word
of encouragement to the industrial
troops
The striking development yesterday
was the official announcement from
the American Tin Plate company to
the effect that certain plants crippled
by the strike would be dismantled and
at almost the same time it was IN
officially announced there was
chance that the plant of the American
Steel and Hoop company at Warren,
Ohio, would be torn down and re-
moved to some community more fav-
Orable to the corporation. The order
directing the Devices wood plant at Nc
Keesport to be dismantled is already
being carried out and the announce
ment from the American Tin Plate
company created a marked impress
sion. Local leaders on either side
showed little activity, the officials of
the manufacturing plant leaving their
offices early in the afternoon, while
the Amalgamated association head
quarters were practically deserted.
Mills Non-Union.
When the general strike edict went
into effect last night, every mill of the
National Steel company, Federal Steel
company, and National Tube company,
for which the union scale had hereto
fore been signed, became non-union.
Notices to this effect were being post
ed at the mills last night.

BALL PLAYER SURPRISED.
Celebrated Catcher's Wife Adopts
FoundIings From Hospital.

Cincinnati, August 11.-According
to story told by DR.. Ludwig, local
physician, Henry Pietz, the well
known catcher Of the Cincinnati
national league, baseball team, is not
the father of the baby that appeared
in the Pietz household last June.
Neither is Mrs. Pietz the mother.
The story, as told by the physician,
would lead to the belief that Mrs.
Pietz has practiced this sort Of decep-
ton on her husband for years, for Dr.
Ludwig asserts she has secured no
less than eight children from various
hospitals and claimed them as her
own. Her husbands great love for
children is given as the cause.
The revelation made by DR.. Ludwig
is due, it is said, to bad feeling BE
tween PieIz and himself About two
weeks ago Dr. Ludwig shot at Pietz
several times and was chased by the
latter over the western part of the
city. Several of the adopted children
have died.

HANSBROUGH'S FIGHT.
Mckenzie Returns From the West and
Sees the Politicians.


ST. Paul, Aug. 11.-Alexander Nc
Kenzie, the North Dakota politician,
to whom Judge A. H. NOyes of Alaska
gave mining receivership and got in
to deep trouble as a consequence, is
at the Merchants hotel. Senator H.
c. Hansbrough of North Dakota has
been in the twin city on business for
some time. He is in daily conference
with Mckenzie. Plans for the next
campaign and senatorial contest in
North Dakota are being laid and other
details of Dakota politics discussed.
Among the prominent visitors dur
ing McKenzie's stay here has been
United States Marshal John Haggart
of Fargo. There was a time when
Haggart was king in the Fargo BALI
wick, but he has been down on his
luck recently, and the new triumVir-
ate which is running the politics of
Cass county is said to be after his
scalp. Haggart's friends fear that the
attempt to name some other man
United States marshal when his term
expires will prove successful unless
powerful influences are set to work,
and this has been a part of the mis-
sion to ST. Paul while Mckenzie is
there. It is explained that the anti
Haggart crowd carried the last legis-
lative fight in Cass county, and, as
Senator Hansbrough needs votes with
in short time, Mckenzie and Hans
brough have some fine work to do in
the Fargo country. Haggart is an
old-time friend Of Mckenzie, and while
the latter was retained at San Fran
cisco, was very active in his behalf.
He did much to elect Hansbrough il
the last contest, and although he can
deliver but little in the future, has a
very good claim on both when past
deeds are considered.
The North Dakotans who have been
straying in here for the past two
weeks for a talk with Hansbrough
and Mckenzie appear to be Of the
unanimous opinion that Hansbrough
is to meet with much harder fight

than in'97, when the opposition was
dissolved with the aid of good federal
jobs and the advice of members of the
national executive committee. The
federal positions are pretty well filled
and the national committee is pretty
well satisfied that, whatever the legis-
lature of North Dakota does, it will
not elect a democrat. Consequently
a straight-arm fight is locked for, with
an open field and no favors Hans
brough has an advantage in several
holdover senators who are known to
be for him, and the fact that many of
the men who are running the republi-
can organization in North Dakota are
his friends.
Mckenzie was in Jail on the Pacific
coast for time as result of the min
ing muSS.

kRAENZlEIN COMES HOME.

Former Varsity Student Reaches
New York After Victories Abroad.
New York, Aug. 11-A. c. Kraenz-
lein, the holder of the worlds records
for the high and low hurdles, arrived
here on the Majestic after a campaign
on British tracks, Kraenzlein went
abroad principally to defend his title
to the 120-yard hurdle championship
of England. This he did on July at
Huddersield In the race he covered
the distance in Is 3-5 seconds. which
is a new British record. Kraenzlein
also competed at several other meet
ingS and was not beaten in a scratch
race On several occasions he fell
when competing in handicap competi-
tons.
This was probably due to the sys-
tenn in vogue in England of placing
the best man entered in the handicap
many yards behind the scratch mark.
Kraenzlein, under this system, fire.
quently started eighteen or twenty
yards back of scratch and could not
depend on taking the first hurdle
properly in his stride. After the
championship Kraenzlein ran 100
yards over hurdles in an exhibition in
Is rs seconds. He also won prizes
in several jumping contests. but was
not in good enough form, owing to a
strain, to test his skill against P.
O'Connor, the worlds record holder,
in the broad jump at the English
championships.
Kraenzlein was looking in fine
shape and spoke modestly Of his many
victories abroad.
KraenZlein is a Milwaukee boy and
was a former student at the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
