CONFER OVER STRIKE
Leaders Meet In Pittsburg But
Object Is Kept a Secret.
STATUS OF THE FIGHT TO DATE
Both Sides Claim to Be Satisfied over
the Outlook-Overtures, How
ever, Are Expected to
Be Made Soon.

A Pittsburg special says: A sum-
mary of the steel strike situation up to
Friday night shows about the follow
ing conditions:
In Pitsburg-Star mill: Two mills
running; strikers say five more men
left the plant and Joined their ranks,
but management positively deny the
statement.
Painter mill-Four mills running;
fires lighted in bar mill furnaces, but
failed to start as expected.
Pennsylvania tube works-Mill idle,
machinlsts say they will quit.
All Carnegie mills running full.
McKeesport- plant idle
and no attempt will be made to start
it before next week. Everything is
closed down.
Irondale-Mill running with same
force, making two turns and assur-
ance from the manager that more
men will be added at once.
Observation-Disclosures unchanged,
twelve mills running.
Lisbon-Fires started in tin plate
plant. Manager Evans says every
thing in readiness for start soon with
plenty of men. Strikers voted to re-
main out and mill is strongly picketed.
Wheeling-Everyth tied up and
no apparent indication of an attempt
to start any of the mills.
Bellair-The National Steel Compa-
ny's idle plant will, it is said, be start
ed early next week by full force of
men.
Labor Leaders Confer.
The conference of the labor leaders
at the office of the Amalgamated asso-
citation in Pittsburg Friday was the
leading feature of the strike during
the day. The officials of the organiza.
ton seemed pleased with the way
things were moving and one Of them
said somewhat mysteriously:
I'm another six days wou will see a
decided change in the strike that will
tell with great effect on the trust and
aid in hurrying the final outcome Of
this struggle"
Just what this change Is to be was
not said, but it was inferred strongly
that the coming event hinged upon
the conference that was taking place.
President Snaffer SAID in reference
to the meeting that 1t was not pre-
concerted one, but 'just happened"
Nothing Of Importance was accom-.
pllshed. Mr.. Snaffer said no arrange.
ment had been made to submit new
peace proposition to the corporation
or further proposal for arbitration,
adding, however, that he did not know
what individual action the conferences
might take in the future. No men,
tion was made Of the miners or other
trades taking sympathetic action. 1t
is believed that as result of the
meeting another effort will be made to
induce the United States Steel Corpo-
ration to tender another conference.
The strikers make the claim that
very little actual work has been done
by the combine in any Of its plants
since the strike began, and that what
product has been turned out has been
of an inferior character. Notwith.
standing this the steel officials declare
themselves well pleased with the con-
dition of affairs and say all the mills
started are working satisfactorily and
turning out good product.

Warren Still In Evidence.


News of shooting affray at

mortally wounded by Barlow Warren,
the young white man who was tried

court for train robbery. Watson was
a witness for the prosecution. It was
stated that Watson said that some Of
the boys had been lying on him and
that he meant to get even.
There was mistrial at the last
court, but Watson's evidence was par
ticularly strong against Warren. This
led to much bitter feeling.
The shooting occurred in front OF
a drug store. A telephone message

not live. Warren was charged with
having held up an express messenger
on the Southern railway train, from
whom he is alleged to have secured

1t Happened in a Drug Store.

"One day last winter a lady
came to my drug store and asked
for a brand of cough medicine
that I did not have in stock" says
MI. G. R. Grandin, the popular
druggist of Ontario, n. Y. "She
was disappointed and wanted to
know what cough preparation I
could recommend. [ said to her
that I could freely recommend
Chamberlain Cough Remedy and
that she could take a bottle of the
remedy and after giving it a fair
trial if she did not find it worth the
money to bring back the bottle
and I would refund the price paid.
In the curse of a day or two the
lady came back in company with
a friend in need of a cough medi-
cine and advised her to buy a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. I consider that a very
good recommendation for the
remedy" 1t is for sale at Greene's

Investigating before investing
their money in any such enterprise.
The Inter- Ocean has it on reliable
authority that the cost of labor in
producing a ton of low grade tow
is about So. Two tons of straw
are required and this costs not less
than 81 delivered at the mills.
Then the freight on a ton of the
stuff from this section of the
country to Chicago, the nearest
market, is $500, making theaggre-
gate cost of producing and ship
ping a ton of tow $11.20. It brings
in Chicago $11 a ton, leaving a
deficit of 20 cents. The reader
can readily see that there is no
profit in such an enterprise.
The only way in which any
money could be made out of the
business, at least while freight
remains at present rates, would be
to ship the tow to Duluth and
there store it until navigation
opened, and then ship by boat to
Buffalo where at the present time
tow is selling for $l8 a ton, but
even this would be a doubtful OK.

A PEOPLE

Prosperity has come to North
Dakota. No one will deny this.
All realize that good times are
here. The mouth of the calamity
howter is stopped. His voice is
silenced for the once. He can
find nothing in the present condi-
ton of affairs to bewail, unless it
be that he is out of a job.
The country generally is pros
porous, but not all sections in the
same degree as our own state.
There are good reasons for this.
In the first place North
Dakotans as a rule are a thrifty
people. They possess energy and
go about it to achieve success
This always helps to bring good
times.
In the second place we have

crops have been raised.
Thirdly, good government
national and state, has had
favorable influence, The peopl
