IRON AGE REVIEWS THE
 GREAT STEEL STRIKE

The wire, structural and plate trades are not affected. In an- ticipation of possible trouble at South Chicago, the Ohio plant at Youngstown has been fitted up to make rails,

 "On the other hand, it will not do to underrate the strength of the men. The skilled rolling mill men who alone belong to the association have had prosperous years. The unskilled men probably will have very little trouble in finding other work in view of the general scarcity Of labor.

TlIIman and McLaurln.

More than one tragedy will grow out of the McLaurin-Tillman controversy in South Carolina, and maybe one of na- tional importance" said a Birmingham man who recently spent several days in the Palmetto State, and who was in po- sition to find out many things of public interest.
 "In Senator McLaurin's letter of this week to the State Democratic Executive Committee, which, by the way, Is the most ineisive and powerful political pa- per of the year. he charges Tillman with being political assassin who has struck down pure men to advance himself, and always avoided personal responsibility. Irby. Shell, and Farley died despising Tillman for his treachery, McLaurin de- clares.
 This Is not the first time that McLaurin has openly intimated that Tillman is lacking in personal courage-is, in other words, not brave man. and it bears out what was repeatedly related to me during my recent stay in South Carolina. &
 " Tillman won't fights-tiesis not game.' is declaration one hears everywhere in South Carolina. One of the most notable men of the State, who was present at the Dafney debate between Tillman and Me Laurin last May, gave 1t to me as his fixed opinion that McLaurin would have fought Tillman that day, but 'Tillman showed the white feather
 And heard many men of information declare that if Tillman should go step further in abuse of McLaurin there would be a tragedy though one-sided one, since +Tillman will not fight
 ''In South Carolina many of tthe best people. the well-informed, appear to re- gard Tillman as a mere clustering bully, lacking in physical courage; but if he gets too personal in his attacks on Mc- Baurin there will be vacancy in the Senate, dead certaln.''

Status of the Strike.

The steel trust and the Amalgamated Association have passed the fist-shak- ing period of the struggle, and each is getting down to the real business at stake. The trust is now engaged in trying to find skilled men enough to open this or that closed mill, and the association is trying to close first one mill and then another now in opera tion As long as this process can be conducted with satisfaction to the trust the federal courts will not be lugged into the contest against labor , and in favor of capital. No appeal is ever made by capital to the State courts which alone should have juris- diction of breaches of the peace and the like, but haste is made to get into the federal courts. Attorney General Knox grew rich in the service of the trust and of the Carnegie Company, and labor has no expectations of jus tice from the entire federal machine. It already sees the Republican press of the country arrayed against it, and it knows the power that capital pos sesses in that party, based as it is on campaign subscriptions to come as well as those in the past
 The issue is the broadest and the simplest ever presented in this coun- try-all the mills of the trust should be union or non-union. There is no room for compromise here, and the magnitude of the contest attracts wide spread attention. These figures but inadequately present the situation: Men on strike in steel hoop. sheet

 Touch not a single bough! C. In youth it sheltered me
 And I'll protect it now Twas my forefathers hand
 That placed it near his cot. There, woodman. let 1t stand
 Thy axe shall harm it not. That old familiar tree.
 Whose glory and renown Are spread o'er land and sea,
 And wouidst thou hew it down? Woodman, forbear thy strolsei
 Cut not its earthbound ties; A O, spare that aged oak.
 Now towering to the skies, When but an idle boy
 I sought it's grateful shade; In all their gushing Joy
 Here, too, my sisters played. My mother kissed me here;
 My father pressed my hand Forgive this foolish tear, s But let that old oak stand! My heartstrings around thee cling.
 Close as thy bark, old friend! Here shall the wild birds sing,
 And still thy branches bend. Old treel the storm still brave! And, woodman, leave the spot; While I've a hand to save.
 Thy axe shall hurt 1t not. s

ATTORNEY GENERAL GRlGGS'
REPORT.

The Republican is in receipt of the
last annual report of the Attorney
General of the United States, which
shows the money expended by the De-
partment of Justice and the purposes
for which ii was expended. The De
partment of Justice of the United
States expends upwards of $4,000 900
year for the expenses of the depart
ment. but the Attorney General of'the
United States is not above accounting
to Congress for every penny of this
sum in minutest detail. An inspection
of Exhibit F4-Contingent Expenses
of the Department of Justice" shows
such entries as the following:
One double key, % cents; two q
by q bushings. O4 cents; one dozen
boxes matches. 20 cents: two dozen
rings, .06 cents; one dozen small hand
mops, 20 cents.
So the illustrations might be con-
tinued Despite the millions of dol
lars expended by the Department If
Justice of the United States every
penny spent for every item, if no more
than one cent, is accounted for Un-
der such a system the paying Of
special ENJOYS to Washington or the
expenses of trips for land commits
sioners would become troublesome.
No wonder the Dole administration is
opposed to everything savoring II
Americanism.
