newspaper, says Ncwspuperdom, is
the oificeholding habit, or the would.

make his paper the success that it
might otherwise be. 1t is apt to make
him a follower CT men rather than a
promoter Of ideas. To MAX a thorough
success of newspaper one must for

rather than making his paper boost
him. The man should make his papAI

Right you are, brother, if you want

SCHWAB SAYS ALL UNION
MEN MUST RETURN.
Then lie Is Willing to Negotiate for Settle
ment of the Trouble.

Pittsburg, Aug. 31.-The steel strik-
ers are claiming tonight the biggest
victory since the fight began. in the
closing down of the open hearth de-
partment of the Duquesne tin works
The Amalgamated people claim that
the open hearth people have struck
and that the entire plant will have to
close if the men fail TO return to work
Sunday. The Carnegie steel people
make light of the matter, and say the
closing of the open hearth department
today was merely the usual Saturday
afternoon close. They maintain the
men will be on hand for work Sunday
evening as heretofore, and that no stop
page will result.
They say the trouble at the plant
Friday night has been exaggerated
number OF men having quit work, only
q few boys were escorted from the mill
by policemen and that the places of
the elected were filled at once.
Until tomorrow night it Will not be
known certainly which side is right in
its contention. The Amalgamated peo-
pie claim to be able to tie up the plant
and the steel company say they will re-
sumo without any material inconven-
fence.
Aside from the Duquesne incident the
reported conference by long distance
telephone between President Schwab of
the steel corporation and Simon Burns,
president of the Window Glass Work
erS' association, was the only other
happening to cause comment. 1t seems
that the two gentlemen really COM
municated with each other by tele-
phone, but what the subject or result
is not known. Mr.. Burns is mysteri-
ously silent. and says he can say moth
ing just yet.
Tt is learned from other sources that
during the extended wire conversation
Mr.. Schwab told Mr.. Burns that he
would not consent to meet any repre-
SentativeS of the Anna lgamated associ-
alton until all the mills of the United
States Steel corporation thrown idle
by the order of President Shaffer are
put in operation again by the former
employees of the corporation returning
to their work He told Mr.. Burns it
is said that the striking members of
the Amalgamated association are no
longer employees of the United States
Steel corporation. Hence there is no
reason why he should meet any repre-
sentative of the association
Terms of schwab.
But if they voluntarily re-enter the
employ of the corporation, Mr.. Schwab
is willing to listen to any grievance
thew NAV desire to lay before him with
reference to their work and wages. Tt
is further intimated that he will con-
sent to allow these grievances to- be
submitted by the officers of their union
Mr.. Burns called on President Shaffer
this afternoon He refused to state
what passed a. the conference, but he
! IS hopeful that President Schwab Will
accord him an Interview to discuss the
terms Of strike settlement. The feature
OF the proposal it is said, as it i'm

POSSE LETS MURDERER
SLIP FROM GRASP.
Mob Still on the Trail of Negro Who Killed
Woman in Missouri.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 31.-The man
hunt that has been in progress in John
son and Cass counties, Missouri, since
last Tuesday evening, when Miss Mary
Henderson was found murdered at the
home or her brother-in-law, Chapman
Hyatt, and the negro hired man, Bos-
sic Francis, the supposed murderer,
missing, has not been successful. After
fruitless beating of the bush, ransack-
ing of negro cabins and search of coal
mines, the hundreds OF volunteers yes
terday we're ready to give up, and even
the bloodhoUnds refused to follow new
trails.
Last night however, fresh interest
was aroused by the discovery. Of a ne
gro skulking in the woods near Strauss
burg. A party of men set out in pur-
suit, hut the negro vanished mysteri-
ously.
Tonight all the towns along the Mis-
souri, Pacific were intensely excited by
report that Francis had been cap
tured near Pleasant Hill, that the law
officers were bent on taking him to
Warrensburg jail, but that the hunters
would carry him TO the Hyatt farm
and hang or burn him there.

w. z. Porter Of NTcKeesport, who was
a delegate to the recent convention of
the Anal gamated association at Mil
waukee, said:

Of this week stating that this strike is
Skaters strike. I wish it positively
( stated that every delegate at the Mil
waukee convention, including myself
knew that the strike would be called in
case the steel combine failed to agree
to the terms of the wage settlement as
laid down in the convention You can
not make it too strong that the present
strike had the endorsement of every
delegate. President Shaffer cannot
take up the refutation of the article
but every delegate to the convention
should be and is willing to do So"
Steel Trust Gains.
The steel corporation today continued
to add to the number of men at work
in several of the plants that have re-
sumed since the strike began, but the
AmalSamated people insist that the
additions are of no value and that the
/ strike situation remains without
change.
Neither side to the controversy ex-
poets much to develop until after La
bilities. After Monday. however, it is
probable decided and effective moves
will be made by each.
Thirty white nOn-uniOn miners ar
rived at Yates from West Virginia to-
( day. There was no disturbance.
/ A meeting held at Fleming last night
was attended by all the union and non

I in favor of abidig by the decision OF

/ port that armed guards were being Sc
cured to protect property against VIC

! Notwithstanding the confident state

rent of feeling that all is not well and
that the national board has, received

FIRE ADDS HORROR TO
GREAT NORTHERN WRECK
Dead and, II is Feared, Injured Are Cremated in
the Spntered Coaches.
Number of Lives Lost Placed at ThryfOur in Terrible
Catastrophe in Montana.

Great Northern in that more lives were
lost than ever before. Forty-one
deaths have been reported up to the
present time and in all probability
more will follow. Five dead were
brought to Kalispeu. thirteen wounded
and seriously hurt. one of whom has
since died. OF forty three men in the
day coach on the rear of the train only
thirteen were saved, and only five dead
were gotten out of the burning ruins,
the remainder being completely con-
summed, it being impossible to find even
their bones. as nothing remained but
ashes when the fire burned out.
The scenes at the cata strophe were
heartrending in the extreme, there be-
ing many poor creatures pinned III un-
der the wreckatse, for whom the pas
sengers and trainmen were doing all
in their power to extricate from their
frightful position. The wreckage had
taken fire Immediately after the col
isiOn, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that the few saved were taken
from the ruins. Several men were loud
" calling for help. begging that if they
could not be gotten out they would
rather be killed than suffer death by
the rapidly approaching flames
People were compelled by reason of
the intense heat to stand aside and see
the victims burned alive, powerless to
lend aid or assistance
Ten cars of shingles were on the rear
of the freight that caused the wreck,
and as soon as il struck the standing
passenger train the caEs burst and the
shingles were thrown in all directions
over the wrecked passenger cars. In
almost an instant the whole was
mass of flames. and the work of res
cue was rendered dangerous.
It appears that the wreck was caused
by an eastbound freight train of TWEEN
ty-eight cars, which was at Essex, and
that the head engine went forward,
leaving a helper engine in the rear to
hOlG the train The helper engine set
the air brakes and left the train stand
ing on the track and went to coal UP.
Conductor Matthews was in the Office
getting orders, and both brakemen
were with the engineer. It is believed
that the air leaked and that the train
slipped away without the train crew
knowing it. and dashed down the
mountain at a tremendous rate of
speed, variously estimated at from sew
enty-five to 100 miles an hour, going
down the hill a distance of seventeen
miles. when it overlook the passenger.
This train was moving in the same
direction as the runaway, otherwise
the disaster would have been greater
The men on the passenger train had
not the slightest warning of their dan
ser. There is nothing of the wreck
left but smouldering ashes and burnt
and twisted iron rods and chains.
