Men Refused to Abandoa
Their Work.

Iistsnurg, Pa. Aug. 1.-The IRON
masters are tonight claiming victory
in the { -cat :, EEL strike. They taso
their claim upon the refusal OF the
Amalgamated association at south
Chicago. Joliet and Bay View 10 obey
The general strike order Of President
Shaffer, and their success in maintain
irg operations in other plants where
il was anticipated that here would
be serious trouble. The strike lea'.-
crs meet the claims of victory with
the assertion that their cause is MAX
ing satisfactory progress, and that
they will show themselves masters OF
the situa ton before the contest has
progressed much further. They do not
conceal their disappointment at the
refusal of their western brethren 70
ioin with them in the strike; but none
OF the leaders would discuss the de-
fecticn.
President Sha fer refused TO meet
the newspaper man who sought hlr,.
and kept within the seclusion OF ms
home. The other leaders who were
seen intimatea that there would be
DEVELOPMENTS o. morrow and through
out the week that would materially
change the situation. They wonld
not say, however, what they had IN
mind or how their cause was TO gain
in strength. 1t was said that they
we're counting upon strong aid from
the American Federation ofLabor and
other orsanizaticrs of union latcr.
but those bodies have not yet given
any public indication of what they

The Amalgamated association has
developed great strength in the
Wheeling district, and has made gains
in some of the Pennsylvania districts;
iut il will be tomorrow before the
lines of cleavage are marked with
sufficient clearness for the count OF
the men.
The strike headquarters were
closed to-day and tonight, and it was
claimed that no reports were being
received from the outlying districts
as to the progress of the strike ex-
cept in a general way.

STEEL TRUST STRIKES HARD.
Mex ssspors Z. Pa, to suffer for iss sympathy
with the AmalgA mstsd As
ISOLATION.

Ffttsburg, Pa, Aug. e.-Therc were
grAyely important Developments in
the strike situation to-day. The Unit
ed States Steel corporation moved de-
cisively in its strike campaign with .
percmptory order directing that the
great Devices Wood plant at Mckees-
port be dismantled and removed 10
the Kiskimenetas valley.
The oiiis ial announcement 81 the
order to dismantlc the Devices Wood
plant came this afternoon toward ,hs
close of an otherwise uneventful day.
and its .mpC rtance was such Mat u
,laimcd the serious consideration on
either side of the great Industrial
conflict now Icing waged here. Fer
sifer L. Smith, district manager for
the American Sheet Steel CO., made
the formal announcement in the fol-
lowing statement:
II have orders from President Nc
Murty Of the American Sheet Steel
Co. TO at once tear down the Devices
Wood plant at Mckcesport and re-
move same to Kiskimenetas valley.
This | shall proceed TO do immediata
ly."
The publication Of the order wac
. great surprise, and Mckcesport re-
cei,ed il at first with doubt. Actual
preparations were made later in the
day for the dismantling of the mill,
and there is little room for doubt
that it will be torn down and taken
apart, piece by piece.
The strikers heard the order in a
spirit of defiance. They simply said
that it showed the steel corporation
was convinced that it could not re-
open the plant in the face of the OPP
position of the Amalgamated asso-
citation. Strike leaders here said that
the order was a bluff that had been
worked unsuccessfully before, and
declined to take it seriously. A rep
resentative of the press showed Dis
trict Manager Smiths statement 10
President Shaffer. but after reading
il he declined to talk about it.
II have nothing to say about this
order to dismantle the Devices Wood
plant" was all that he would say.
The steel officials declined to give
any reason for the order, but it is
openly stated here that the pro-
nounced sympathy of citizens and
city officials AT McKeesport with the
strikers is responsible for it.
The Devices Wood plant was found
ed about forty years ago, and is one
of the best-known plants in Pennsyl-
vania. Its yards and mills cover be-
tween IL and IA acres; it has EN-.
ployed 1900 men at its busiest times
and its cost is placed at S5,ooo,0o0 by
officials of the steel corporation.
Many of the company officials here
are inclined to believe that Mayor
Blacks utterances are responsible for
the move made by the head of the

CONFESSED HE STOLE THE GOLD
lack Wsnsers Proved 90 be the Nan
Wanted-showed where lie
Had Concealed IL.

San Francisco. Aug. il.-Jack Win
tiers. who was arrested for the Sclby
smelling robbery. has confessed the
crime, and so far $4,000 worth Of
bullion has been recovered from the
bay where he had sunk il. For three
days the detectives tried all sorts Of
intimidation TO make Winters con
fess, but their threats apparently had
no effect upon him. Finally he asked
TO see Supt. Ropp, of the works. who.
he said, was the only friend he had. In
his conversation with Ropp. Winters
manner indicated that he knew where
the gold had been hidden. Ropp tald
him that they had a strong case
against him, ana that he would be
sent 10 prison for 80 years. He said:
"You will bc an old man when you
get out. and il will do you no good TO
hide the gold. We know it is hidden
in the water near the works, and we
will search every inch. You may be
sure that the gold will be found before
you get out of prison.
Winters finally weakened, and told
Ropp that he had taken the gold. and
would take him to the spot where 1t
was hidden. The criminal, in
company with Supt. Ropp and
force or detectives, left
on a tug for Crockett. There they
waited all night for low tide. Win
tiers pointed out the place. at the end
Of the railroad wharf, be-
hind the coal bunkers. at the
beginning of the Vallejo ferry
slip. At that point at low tide the
mud is about four feet deep. covered
bv a foot of water. When the tug
| first reached Crockett. Winters point
ed out the spot in the water where
he said he had thrown the gold.
Winters himself got into the mud
and water up to his neck. and for an
hour and half CROPPED for the
missing bullion. Up to two
o'clock $4,000 worth had been
recovered. This includes the four
bars of fine gold. Winters had pu,
some Of the bars in bags. He said that
one of the bars had broken. and some
small bars had dropped out. 1t is
now only question OF careful search
to find the rest of the S2s0.o00. Win.
tiers claims that he did the job all
: alone. He says that he made IA trips
from the vault to the wharf from
which he dropped the gold. The
smelter officials. however, are posi-
tive that he received assistance from
someone.

ny A UNANIMOUS VOTE.


Milwaukee, Aug. l2.-The Bay View
lodge OF the Amalgamated Associa-
ticn of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
at its meeting yesterday decided. by
unanimous vote. not to obey the
strike order of President L. j. SHAFT
fer, and in consequence the plant Of
Size Illinois Steel Co. in this city viii
be running as usual to-day.
According to the officers Of the
ledge. the decision was final. and a
dispatch was Immediately sent 10
Vicc-rresident W. c. Davis. Of the
Fourth district. in South Chicago, no
tifying him of the action and request
ing that President Shaffer and the
executive board in Pittsburg be inn
Iaediately informed.
The sentiment was overwhelming
against striking, and the only doubt
i'm the minds of the men was a. ID
whether they owed their allegiance
10 The association or TO the company.
Several of the speakers pointed out
That q strike at this time would he of
no advantage TO the Amalgamatel as
citation, and would do no hari.l TO the
United States Steel corporation, mas
much as the trust is prepared at
short notice to transfer all the work
of South Chicago, Bay View and Joliet
mills to its plant at Duquesne, which
can be converted into a plant tor the
making of bar steel.
Allusion was made to the friendly
relations existing between the Illinois
Steel Co. and its employees and strong
emphasis was laid upon the wage
scale just agreed to by the company,
which rrovides for an increase Of 1.-Two
per cent. in wages dating back TO
July I.
| 1t was shown that IL they decided
not TO GO to work the company would
be justified in Withholding this extra
riontv on the ground that the prnvi.
sions of the contract under which it
became due had been broken.
