SAN FRANCISCO STRIKE SPREADS
Mayor Fails as Mediator and Sand
Transfers are Ordered Out.

San Francisco, Aug. G.-The outlook
for an amicable settlement of the
strike has considerably diminished.
and the indications + hat the con
test will be a p%rotracted one. The eff
forts of Mayor Phelan to bring about
an understanding between the oppos-
ing interests have failed, and he has
beer reluctantly compelled to abandon
temporarily at least his position as
mediator. The belief Is general that
the strike is to be widely extended.
The San Francisco Labor council
has ordered out the sand teamsters,
about 600 in number. This move will
seriously affect the building trades.

reached yesterday in n conference that
lasted from an early hour until
1t was decided to force the contest,
first of all, before the committee on

Cummins hopes to take from him 26
votes. There are three contests to
come before the committee, involving
in Jackson county 16 votes, in Carroll

It was decided by the conference
that If the Cummins faction triumphed

some one candidate and the full

FAINT CHANCE OF PEACE
President Shaffer Withholds Is
Suance Of Formal Order.
NO CONTRACTS ARE VIOLATED.
Gives Steel Companies Fair Warning
and Places Them In Position to Re.
to Hyde Park Safely.


Pittsburg, Aug. Gust a faint glim-
mer of hope that the great steel work.
ers' strike will be settled was embod-
led In a statement given out by Presi-
dent Shaffer of the Amalgamated asso.
citation last night. When asked IL he
would pursue the same policy in or
dering a strike in the mills of the Fed
eral Steel, the National Steel and the
National Tube compa lies as he did
in calling out the men In the mills of
the American Tin Plate company, he
replied: "If 1t had not been for this
determination or my part, the general
strike would have been ordered on
Saturday night"
Before calling out the tin workers
and after falling to get any satisfac.
ton from the officials of the American
Sheet and the American Hoop COM
panies President Shaffer sem a
telegram to Vice President Warner
Arms of the American Tin Plate COM
pany notifying him that he would be
obliged to call out the tin workers in
all of the mills owned by the United
States Steel corporation unless the
difficulty was settled within a period
Of ten days. As a result of this notice
Mr.. Arms succeeded in getting to-.
gether another conference and a vain
attempt was made to settle the dis
pute and prevent a strike, which
would involve the tin mills. That con-
ference was the one that broke up In
tho Hotel Tinnn1n thrpn wnoEc ooO
last Sunday. In order to be equally
fair to the other constituent companies
Of the United States Steel corporation
and accord them the same treatment,
President Shaffer has sent a similar
notice to the officers of the Federal
Steel company, the National Steel COM
pany and the National Tube company,
giving them the same time in which
to make any effort they may desire
to bring about a settlement or he will
put in force this same clause in the
Amalgamated associations constitu-
ton. 1t Is presumed that delay in is
suing the general order will be at
least until the end of the present
week. Possibly it will not be issued
until early next week. In the mean
time the men in the mills Of these
three companies will be prepared to
come out when the strike order is is.
sued.
The possibility of a settlement of
the strike is based in the bare hope
that the officials of the three addi.
tional companies will bring to bear
sufficient influence to urge an adjust.
ment of the difficulty before the strike
order is issued.
The condition at McKeesport is re.
ported as follows: Many strikers are
on the streets around the National
Tube works. The men ar aounce that
they are only waiting for orders from
headquarters before going out. Organ,
izer Flynn of the Federation of Labor
was here yesterday looking over the
situation and comforting with local
leaders. Persistent rumors are to the
effect that the mine workers will re.
fuse to furnish coal for the trust coke
furnaces or mills.

ENGLISH MONARCHS.

Death Often Unlz1nd I'm the Manne1
of Their Taking on.
OF the monarchs who have reigned
over England since the days Of the
Norman conquest nearly one-quarter of
the number have met violent death.
William l was killed by a fall from
his horse, William II was shot while
hunting, whether by accident or de-
sign is still one of the unsolved prob
lens of history; Richard was killed
by shaft from a crossbew while
besieging the city Of Chaluz, in France;
Richard II was murdered in Pontefract
castle, Edward II was murdered in
Berkeley castle, and Edward " in the
Tower of London, Richard III was
killed on the battlefield Of Bosworth
and Charles had his head cut of in
London.
Elizabeth's death was fastened by
remorse that she had ordered the ex-
ecution Of Essex, and her sister Mary
sickened and died soon after the loss
Of Calais, declaring that the name of
the city would be found after death
written on her heart. The death Of
Edward HIS son, the Black Prince,
caused the aged monarch to die of
grief. So, after the loss of his son
in the White Ship, Henry was never
seen to smile again and lived only a
short time. Henry vi and George III
were insane during the latter years
Of their reigns and finally died from
what in these days would be called
paresis. Charles II, Henry VIII, Ed
ward Nv and George ~ fastened their
deaths by the dissipated and sensual
lives they lived. Only two monarchs
died Of that great national scourge,
consumption; they were Edward vi
and Henry VII. Queen Anne's death
was due as much as anything else
to overfeeding. Only two monarchs,
Henry vi and George III, died sitter
long illnesses.
