duct, and absolutely decline TO continue

Mr. Wild then said that as Mr. Robson
resigned he also felt it his duty 20 do the
same. as the vote censured him as well
as the president.
\ resolution was offered by one Of the
members asking the society not to accept
the designations Of -Messrs. Robson and
Wild, but as soon as these gentlemen pos
IJIvely declared they would not continue

CONTRACTS FOR WORKMEN
One Must Be Signed by Each
 'We1der.
If the Employees Agree to Do This, the McKeesport Mill Will Be
 Kept in Operation
 Indefinitely.

Pittsburg, July 2s.-The National Tube Works Company at McKeeeport has made an unexpected move intend- ed to checkmate the Amalgamated As sociation. It's skilled workmen have been asked to sign individual contracts to practically repudiate any union la Dor. and they have been given put short time to think the matter over. It is understood that should they not sign the contracts, they will nnd tneir positions vacant and the axe is ex- pected to fall tomorrow.
 Thursday evening the 600 welders or the mills were paid off and taken into the office of the general superintendent where they were presented with indi- yidual contracts to be signed TOT at least a year. some demurred. Wniie others signed the contracts.
 This movement, fighting fire with fire. carried consternation into the ranks of the strikers. The welders are highly skilled workmen and with their cooperation the big plant might pc closed down. With them in line. the plant will probably keep on running as though nothing has happened. It was intimated tonight by friends Of the welders that they would all sign the contract.
 Definite announcement that the ofti- cials of the American Sheet Steel Con- pany would start the w. Dewes Wood mill in MoKeesport as non-union plant on Monday, reached the head quarters of the Amalgamated Associa- ton early today, The movement will not be permitted to be made without a decided attempt to check 1t. While the rank and file of the strikers are not acquainted with the plans of the cam paign, they now believe that important developments will change the aspect of affairs considerably. There is appar- ently less of the confidence that was noted in the first part of the week. nut there was a lot of determination ex- pressed by those who would talk.
 A telegram from Wheeling tonight says: Tomorrow evening a meeting of the Amalgamated lodge made up of some of the men in the National Tube Riverside plate i'll will be held. when the men whom the organizers have induced to join will be taken fin. The Amalgamated lodge at the Riverside works Is made up of about half of the force employed in the plate mill de- partment The lodge has never been strong enough to force the acceptance of the Amalgamated scale upon the company.
 If the National Tube Company's men are called out, as 1t has been intimat- ed they soon will. Riverside will be- come the storm center of the strike, for there Is no doubt of the intention of the company to combat the union there just as it has been fought at the Me-

 Envelopes containing the names of all registered applicants will be placed in two boxes, one for each land dis trict. These boxes will be large enough and so constructed and mounted as to permit d thorough mixing of the en- velopes.
 Monday morning, July 2S, the en- velopes containing the names of all who have registered will be brought to the platform in packages consecutively numbered. A corresponding series of numbers on slips will be placed in some receptacle, from which they will be drawn out at random. This course will be pursued until 500 names have been drawn from each box. when, if the committee deem 1t best to do so, ar engagements will be made for drawing simultaneously from each box.
 After the names have been drawn and announced, they will be recorded and a notice prepared to be mailed to the one whose name is drawn. The drawing will proceed in this manner until every envelope in both boxes has been drawn out"

Washington. July 2S.-The precept Of the Schley court of inquiry was given to the public this afternoon. It is ad- dressed to Admiral Dewey as Presi- dent of the court instructing him con- cerning the matters to be investigated.

 The court probably will sit for several months. more than likely until after Congress convenes in December.
 Judge Lemley has not yet decided who the witnesses before the court shall be. They may be taken from the navy, from the army or from civil life-for, undoubtedly some of the newspaper correspondents will be call- ed in this case. It Is even probable, in view of the recently published inter- views of Captain Eulate of the Span ish navy, that he and Admiral Cervera. himself. will be called if Admiral Schley desires 1t.
