Pittsburg, July 15.-President Shaft
er's strike order issues Saturday night
TO tne Amaigamated Association mem
bers in the employ of the American
Steel Hoop company, the American
Sheet Steel company and the American
Tin Plate Company was generally
obeyed this morning and the great
struggle between the Amalgamated As
soeiation and the steel companies is ON
IN earnest.
In the union mills of the three COM
panies against which strike has been
declared, it is probable that not a
wheel will turn today. An effort will
be made also to close down some Of
the non-union mills of the companies
and to cripple the rest. The Amalga-
mated People are very sanguine Of
success.
The strike was not Of our seeking. ."
said President Shaffer today. 1T was
forced upon us. We were not con-
tending for wages. but for principle
for self preservation. The tin and
sheet people will not be able to turn
single wheel today. We have our
forces thoroughly organized and there
Will be some surprises in store. Orders
will be promptly obeyed by all our
men, But there will be no trouble.
Labor organizations have changed.
The Amalgamated Association is not
the association it was 20 years ago.
not even five years ago. The men arc
more readily controlled; in fact we
have our men under control"
President Shafier also announced
that today he would prepare a cir
cular letter which will be mailed this
evening TO reach every member Of the
association employed by any mill
operating a constituent plant OF the
United States Steel corporation. The
latter will state fully the present con-
ditions facing the workmen, the rea-
sons for the failure Of the confexence
last week and ordering every man to
go on strike to uphold the principle
involved. He said it would be prob
ably week before he could hear from
all lodges through the Official sources.
but whether he hears or not, he knows
that in all regularly organized mills
the men will obey at once. In some
OF the partially oSganized mills some
correspondence may follow the order.
but within a week all will be out.
Developments today indicate that
Pittsburg is going to be a pretty lively
strike center. The most interest at
taches to the Painters mill on the
south side and to that of Lindsay and
McCutcheon in Allegheny. Both mills
are controlled by the American Sheet
Hoop company and have hitherto been
aggressively non-union. and much de-
pended upon the action taken by the
men in these plants. The employees
OF both mills held open meetings yes
terday and both decided to strike to-
day. The Painter mill employs about
200 men and Lindsay & McCutcheon
mill about 800. The fight at the Paint /
er mill is to be made the fight of the
strike. The mill is not only an i'm
portant one, but the steel hoop COM
pany has for years succeeded In thwart-
ing the efforts made to unionize it.

weight of the water throughout the en-
tire downward trip of the buckets,
and empty them at the lowest point,
so as to offer the least possible resist
ance to the return to the point of fill
ing. To accomplish this result each
bucket is suspended between two pivot
pins to right itself by its own weight
whether full or empty. At the lowest
point of the revolution tripping de-
vice is fixed, which the buckets roll
across as they begin the upward jour-
ney, thus emptying out all the water.
Owing to the pivotal support of the
bucket it remains full until this point Is
reached, and after passing the tripper
readily rights itself again. 1t is be-
lieved that this invention will increase
the power obtained from the wheel
fully forty per cent.
