THE VAST POWER Of MONEY
Shown by the Weakening Of the
Big Steel Strike.

Pittbsurg, Pa, August 29.-Ofdcials
of the mills of the United States
Steel Corporation, closed by the
strike of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, stated today that they are receiv-
ing many applications from former
employees for work. The announce
ment that the company would start
their mills non-union has, the officials
believe, caused a weakening in the
ranks of the strikers and many are
seeking cover. The Amalagmated
officials, however, claim that their
ranks are unbroken and strong as ever.
One of the steel officials said to-day
that there was general mistake being
made about the time it would take to
train experienced men and make them
capable of operating mill machines.
This has been believed to be
the case so long that few have
taken the trouble to prove it
otherwise. It is now determined, be
said, to have new men placed in posi-
tions that will give them the chance
to learn the skilled work and many of
the men who held menial positions in
the union mills are to be taught skilled
work with which they are in measure
afmiliar through long association with
the working of the mills. 1t is con-
fdently asserted that before many
months have passed it will be possible
to produce many new men and plenty
to man all the idle plants, and which
union men have refused to take hold
Of. The strikers say that it will take
years to accomplish this. Reports
from all the mills of the corporation
show that steady gains are being made
in the force of non-union men. The
strikers claim to have induced six nom
union men to leave the Star Mills to-
day and to have shipped them back to
Chicago whence they came. On the
other hand, Superintendent Pieper of
the Star plant, announced that he is
nearly ready to start up the other
mills in the plant and the men are
now waiting for tie improvements to
be completed on the mill.
The only sign of action IN Lawrence
vile to-day was the successful start
ING of the Guide Mill, in the lower
union mills Of the Carnegie Mills.
The start was made, according to the
officials, with full crew and the
mills Will be run without interruption.
The American Tin Plate Company
has announced that it will start the
Kemmler Mills Of the company on
Monday next. Police protection has
been asked from Mayor Black. OF Nc
Keesport.
Much interest is being taken as the
Kemnler plant will start Monday ana
the strikers say every possible effort
will be made peacefully and lawfully
to prevent the company making
success Of the venture.

Chicago Merchant Uncovered the
Silk Frauds.

New York, Aug. 30.-The man who
forced the exposure of the million-dol-
lar silk frauds in the Office Of the Uni
ted States Appraiser of the Port OF
New York was Marshall Field, the
great Chicago merchant, who is one Of
the greatest, if not the gretest import
er of fabrics in the country.
He went about it In thoroughly
businesslike way. He employed no
-Pinkertons, trusted to no agent, Off
cial or private, but tested the thing
for himself, and when.he had laid the
matter before Appraiser Wakeman
there was nothing fer that official to
do but locate the parties to tie Gus
toms conspiracy.
The great Chicago merchant found
that japanese silks could be bought
from New York wholesalers for less
than he could import them and pay
the duty. He thereupon gathered
thirty-two samples Of the silks. in
which the difference between honest
cost and selling price was largest, and
sent them on 20 Wakeman, with let
ter complaining that be had been
charged what be thought an excessive
rate. TIE Appraiser submitted the
samples to his examiners, who reported
that the silk was of high quality and
legitimately carried the bic duty.
Then he applied TO Deputy Appraiser
Sherwood for the regular rate or silks.
AS a matter of fact replied Nr.
Sherwood, I'VE receive very few silks
of such high grade at this Iort. The
great bulk is cs vastly inferior
grades.
That completed the case. TIE silk
should have carried duty that pro
hibited its sale at the price for which
it was in the market: moreover. no
quantity of the high grade silk had
legitimtelv passed the Custom House.
He laid the matter before Appraiser
Waken?an. and the frauds, amounting
to 5000. eco. were disclosed.
The fact that it is the great Chicago
house taat is at the back of the de-
mand !or Congressional investiga-
ton and reform of the present cheat
inc system makes it certain that the
INQUIRY will not be called Off. There
are hundreds of case of laces and other
fabrics, belonging to many importers,
still awaiting examination. and there
is something like panic in the trade
at the prospect Of the revelations
that will follow the examination Of
those goods.

The COLUMBIA STRIKERS.

Columbia, S. c., August 2S.-Tex-
tile Union, No. 211, at its meeting
tonight declared strike against the
Olympia. CRANKY, Richland and Capt.
tai City mills until the authorities
rescind the action forcing operatives
to allure the union. The test of the
unions strength will be made tomor-
row, when the mills open for work.
The striking operatives declare that
they have no fear of being the idle inde-
fnitely, but will not accept the posi-
tions that have been offered them until
thev have made their fight against the
mills. It is understood that the lex
tile Union will have the sympathy OF
the Federation of Labor in the strike.
Conservative estimates place the
number of strikers at 800 or l,OOo.
It is expected that this number will be
considerably augmented during the
The mill officials today began the
swearing of warrants to eject the
striking tenants from the dwelling
houses which are owned by the mills
and leased to the operatives for two
weeks at time.
President Smith-Whaley in card to
the State tomorrow will deny his re-
ported statement that the mill men
in South Carolina have entered into
an ironclad agreement not to employ
union labor.
So far the operatives have been
quiet and orderly and no violence IS
feared for the present.

Some Union Operators Go to Work
in Other Mills.

Columbia, August 3o.-There have
been no developments in the strike
situation at the Whaley mills this
morning. When the big bell sum-
moned the operatives to their work
this morning those watching the peo-
ple entering the mills noted that there
had been an apparent falling of IN
the crowd and that there seemed to
be large number watching the others.
During the day number of union
operatives who cannot afford to be
without money for many days left to
60 to work in other mills where they
have secured positions. It was an
nounced this morning that there would
be a big gathering Of the Textile Union
people this afternoon and parade
through the city at O'Clock, permis-
sion for which had been given by
the mayor.
The parade was abandoned and there
have been no further Developments this
evening.
Tonight there was another meeting
of the union. President Thompson
SAYS that there are no" about LOCO
