Manila, Aug. IA pamphlet was

leaders say that nobody was more

said they promised that their men
would go on strike if permitted to give
three months notice provided for in
their contracts. None of the partici.
pants in the discussion would talk
when the meeting ended for the day.
The local strike leaders are very anx-
ious to secure a reversal of the vote
by which the western men remained
at work and some of them are conf.
dent that something will be accom-
plished.
1t is reported that the United States
Steel corporation is negotiating for
an option on the Republic Iron and
Steel company. There has, it is said,
been a number of conferences be-
tween the stockholders in the two
companies and it is said that the
terms of purchase have been practi-
cally settled. The Republic plant is
a large one and it's purchase would
add greatly to the commercial strength
Of the Steel corporation. No state
ment as to terms is obtainable.
Youngstown advices say that the Of
icials of the American Steel Hoop
company have asked the strikers to
attend a meeting tomorrow at which
they propose to lay before them the
terms made at the manufacturers and
strike leaders conference. The Anal
gamated officials are opposed to the
meeting and will forbid the men to
attend.

JOLIET MILL JOINS STRIKE.
Fires Will Be Drawn and 5000 Men
Quit Work.

Joliet, Ills, Aug. 15-The four
lodges Of the Amalgamated associa-
ton, employees of the Illinois Steel
works at Joliet mills, by unanimous
vote decided tonight to obey the
strike order of President Shaffer.
The conference was in session from 8
o'clock to 8 p. m.
The steel mills were closed at noon
to enable sthe members of the associa-
ton to attend the meeting which was
called by National Secretary Tighe
after his arrival here this morning.
He was accompanied by Vice Presi-
dent Davis of the fourth district.
Both men presented the side of the
association to the local members. 1t
was argued that in order to secure
organization of non-union workers in
the east, it was essential that the
western men would have to join the
strike movement. Mr.. Tighe also ap-
pealed to the fealty of the men to the
association; he urged them to be men
and stand by their union. His re-
marks were received with enthusiasm
and pressaged vote that followed.
This action will close the steel plant
here throwing out of employment
nearly 5000 men.
Fires will be drawn tonight.

TO MAKE PREDICTIONS.
REPLIES TO CRITICISMS
Defends Policy OF Goverpmen and

London, Aug. 15.-The waning SEES.
sion of the house of commons was en-
livened today by a vigorous tilt be-
tween Sir VIM. Vernon Harcourt and
Mr.. Chamberlain, the colonial secre.
tary. over Lord Kitchener's proclama-
ton. Sir VIM. characterized it as a
mischievous document, the inspiration
of neither Lord Kitchener nor Lore
Minor, "but Of the ministry of Natal
He declared the government, in arm
ing the natives was %reverting to a
practice which lent the darkest stain
on the history of the war between
England and America. The new pol
icy of the government promised to be
neither creditable nor effective, and
was in contravention of all the funde-
mental principals of the St. Peters
burg convention.
The country woulud welcome an
ante-adjournment statement on the
status of the war in which they were
still spending e15,00O, 900 a month al
though it was declared ended at the
close of the last session.
Mr.. Chamberlain said the war lstat-
us was clearly indicated by Lord Kit
chener's weekly reports. He himself,

ness, but he assured the speaker that
the governments attitude was the only
method of ending the war. The colon
ial secretary declared that the use of
native troops was no new policy. 1t
had been pursued without adverse
criticism. The Indian troops in China
had been cooperating with the troops
of five of the highest civilized powers.
Regarding the Punishment of burgh-
ers, Mr.. Chamberlain said Great Brit
ain had a perfect right to enact what
laws she may choose for the govern
ment Of a country acquired by con-
quest. The Beers must be taught that
they can no longer carry on a guer-
lila war at no personal risk while
Great Britain fed their women and
children.
He compared the conditions in South
Africa, and the Philippines and said
the policy of America, as declared by
General MacArthur's proclamation
would certainly be the policy of Great
Britain if the campaign degenerated
into a war of bandits.
Regarding the devastation policy,
Mr.. Chamberlain said it was nothing
compared with General Sherman's
campaign. He had talked with Cen
eral Sherman himself and Sherman
justified his action on the ground of
humanity. Mr.. Chamberlain also said
there was no foundation for the report
that Lord Kitchener was coming home.
In the course of the debate Mr..
Chamberlain denied that negotiations
of any sort, in the interest of
peace, were proceeding. The house
sat until 5 o'clock a. m. clearing up
final stages of various bills in order
to enable propagation Saturday.

Stand BY Contracts,


Chicargo, Aug. 14-There will be no
strike of the employees at the steel
mills in South Chicago. This point
was settled tonight when the men re-
fused to reconsider the action taken
Saturday night at which time they de-
cided to stand by their contracts with
the mills and refused to join the
strikers. After they had declined to
reconsider tonight Assistant Secre-
tary M. F.. Tighe of the Amalgamated
association, who came to Chicago
with the intention of securing a revo-
cation of the action of Saturday night,
if possible, declared that he revoked
the charters of both lodges of the
Amalgamated association in South
Chicago mills and declared the men
outside of the organization. The men
greeted his announcement with laugh
ter and cheers.

M HALL USED AS COM
PARIsON.
LONDON GLOBE EDITORIAL
For Which the Editor and Pub
Usher Must Answer to
House Of Commons.

mons today, on the motion Of John
Redmond, the Irish nationalist leader,
ordered the editor and publisher of the
London Globe, a conservative-evening
paper, to appear at the bar of the
house tomorrow afternoon for a grave
breach of privilege of the house in
accusing the nationalist members of
corruption in connection with private
bill legislation.
The Globe editorial to which keep
ton is taken, said: "The same spirit
and the same motives which have
made Tammany a synonym for
litical obliqoy have made the national
list party what it is. Many connected
with it are the very ruck of the popu-
%lation, whose sole object is to make
as much money by political jobbery
and corruption as they an. Any one
who has had any connection with Irish
private bills, corporation contracts and
franchises across the water can bear
ample testimony to this"
The Globe hearing of Mr.. Redmond's
proposed action attempted to explain
that it had not meant any imputation
on members of the house of commons,
"but upon the wire pullers and para
sites who have made politics in Ireland
a profession, as their kinsmen have
done in New York"
Mr.. Redmond in calling attention to
this Every degrading and scandalous
libel" said the libel concerned the
house of commons as a whole far more
than the Irish members. The latter
had not complained of the violent,
%rancorous attack Of Mr.. Chamberlain
at Blenheim because they knew him
of old in connection with Irish poll
tics, and his opinion was valueless.
But, the charge of personal corrup-
ton was a different matter and the
honor. He moved that the house de-
clare the Globes article to be a gross
breach of the privileges of the house.
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader,
| %concurred. He said there could not
be the smallest doubt that a breach of
privilege of the gravest character had
been committed. He could not imag-
inc an accusation more unjustifiable.
At the same time, in regard to the
course to be taken, he had always
held that the house could not commit
greater folly than to enter into con-
~troversy with the press.
Mr.. Asquith, liberal, and Mr.. Healy,
nationalist, supported Mr.. Redmond.
whose motion was adopted unanimous
ly.
MI. Redmond next proposed the mo-
ton that the editor and publisher Of
the Globe be ordered to appear at the
bar of the house tomorrow afternoon.
The motion was carried unanimously.

to choose between the two yachts. So
