WOULD 1MPEACH sHAFFER
Labor World Demands It in n Long and
Bitter Attack.

The editorial in the current issue Of
The Labor World. the organ of the
International Tin Workers Protective
Association. and the mouthpiece of the
Pittsburg district of the United Mine
Workers. and the Patternmakers' As
sociation. is a long and bitter attack
on President Shaffer. and demands his
impeachment for calling the present
strike. The demand for the impeach-
ment is made because. il is charged.
Shaffer compelled the steel workers TO
violate contracts; because he expelled
the Chicago men and revoked their
charter without constitutional hearing.
and because the whole strike is uncon-
stitutional and has brought ruin and
wreck to men who have made the
Amalgamated Association. The edi-
torial gives twenty-four reasons why
President Shaffer should be impeached.
The fact that George Powell, presi-
dent of the Tin Workers Protective
Association; l.. r. Thomas, president
OF the Patternmakers' National
League, and Patrick Dolan. president
of the United Mine Workers of the
PittSburg district. constitute the board
of control of the publication, and that
President Shaffer himself. up to with
in a year ago. was n member of the
board. would seem to lend consider
able weight to the utterances of the
paper.
When shown the editorial President
Shaffer said: Mr.. Powell. of the Tin
Workers association, was at headquar-
ters today. and I have understood that
the paper mentioned does not repre-
sent his association. The article is be-
meath my notice. and i shall not adver-
tise the paper by commenting on it"

IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.
August Opened with q Dark Outlook. but

Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Even i'm cotton goods. which have been
the slowest TO respond to the vigorous
tone Of domestic trade. the past week
has brought distinct Improvement.
Somewhat lower quotations for wheat
are not surprising. in view of the gen.
eral tendency to increase estimates of
the crop far beyond the quantity indi-
Gated by official figures of condition.
August opened with tne commercial
sky overcast by storm clouds that
threatened serious injury to the steel
industry. while drought in the south
west aroused pesSimistic predictions
that business was on the verge of n Sc
we're setback. The month ends with a
horizon that is almost clear.
After many years of steadily-in-
crrasing prosperity the farming pOpu-
lation can face moderate losses with
equanimity. JObbers and manufac-
turers repor. that orders for fall goods
have exceeded any previous year. with
demand for the better
grades. Footwear shops continue in
splendid position. and the demand for
leather is large at well-maintained
prices. Hides are sharing the i'm
provement. with higher prices and ac-
tivity at the west. Woolen mills are
crowded with orders. even the smaller

market is steady despite weakness

He charges that the business conduct
ed in this state by said corporation is
n scheme to defraud the public and
that the contracts are obtained by

charges that the contracts are in the
nature of a lottery and that both
schemes and contracts are in direct
violation of the state law.
Quo warranto proceedings have been
served on State Deputy Elmer c.
Barnes, OF this city, and officers of the
league must answer the charge pre-

Things He Couldn't Have Said.
"This newspaper cutting in question
contains a statement in which it is
said that made comparison between
Schley and Sampson. unfavorable to
Schley. The word respected as used
by the reporter is seldom or never en-
ployed by navy officers. and / am sure
l could never have said this, as he
reports. nor said that Schley had the
reputation of being nervous and hot

Farther on the admiral says: 81
have no recollection of the gentleman
representing the Boston Record, and
l. do not approve of his public state
ment as mine. | can not say that l
have not discussed with acquaintances
matters published in the newspapers
relating to our navy's success, as well
as the unfortunate disputes so widely
commented on. There are few or no
persons in the navy or in our country
who have not daily discussed these
newspaper articles. From the papers
it appears that Admiral. Schley has
strong doubts as to my fitness to fairly
judge this case with AdmiralS Dewey
and Benham
While ] feel highly honored by the

this duty. it is anything but Il pleasant
task to sit in judgment on brother Off
GERS. However, the honor of the Sc
lection nor the uupleasantness of court
duties do not enter into the reasons
for my now writing TO say to you, per-

not responsible for and did not give

ment feels that the cause of the navy
