STRIKE SEVENTH WEEK.
Both Sides Still Claiming That
They Have the Best of
the Argument.
THE FACTS FAVOR THE CORPORATION.
At McKecsport and wheeling, How
ever, the Strikers Continue to
Have Things Their own Way
DISQUALIFICATION Becoming Mani
fest mt McKeesport.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 31.-The steel
strike has now been in progress for
seven weeks, and both sides to the
controversy are still claiming that
they have the best of the argument.
The facts, however, seem to favor the
corporation, inasmuch as in almost
every instance they have succeeded in
starting those mills which they said
they would operate. Additional men
have been secured during the past
week at the various plants running in
this city, and the managers say they
will have at least one more plant
the Painter's-in full operation,
double-turn, within the next week.
The works at Welssville and Clark's
mill, in this city, are both in full OPP
Grafton and the strike at these plants
is considered thing of the past.
At McKeesport and Wheeling.
At McKeesport and Wheeling the
strikers continue to have matters
their own way. All combine plants at
these places are practically tied up,
and no efforts have been made on
the part of the combine to resume at
eny of them. More or less dissatis-
faction exists among the strikers at
McKeesport, however, and the steel
managers expect break at any time.
1t was reported, Friday night, that
40 men had returned to work in the
seamless tube department of the Ma
tional tube works, but this story
was promptly denied. The scene of
action has been switched to Du-
quesne, from where an early report
came in that the men had gone on a
strike at seven o'clock. This proved
untrue, although the strike leaders
claimed that a partial tie-up might
occur some time during the day.
Rumor Anent John Jarrett.
Rumor has it that John Jarrett,
secretary of the labor bureau of the
American Sheet Steel Co., has gone to
Europe to secure skilled labor to re-
place the strikers, but the report is
discredited in labor circles. 1t is
known that Mr.. Jarrett has not been
well man for some time, and it is
said that his mission to Europe is in
search of health.
Miners Demo stration Probably on
The proposed miners demonstra-
ton at Monessen. Pa, on Labor day,
it is said, has fallen through. The
leaders fear a clash between the min
ers and town authorities, and have
about decided to call it off. The labor
demonstration in Pittsburg promises
to be the greatest ever seen here.
Those having the affair in charge
claim that $4,000 men will take part
in the morning parade.
Grand Labor Day Rally.
Following the parade, the allied
trades and labor unions of western
Pennsylvania will hold a grand rally
at Ross grove, a few miles north of
this city.
The tube works at Beaver Falls, en-
ploying 300 hands, which was shut
down June Is and shortly afterward
sold at receivers sale, will resume op-
Grafton on next Monday under the
management of the Pittsburg Seam
less Tube Co.
All the plants started in this city
since the strike began are operating
with increased forces.

SOUTHERN GLEANINGS,
Prohibition in the south.

Kentucky has long been the target
for jokes about liquor drinking be-
cause of the immense production of
whisky; but, according to the Cleve-
land Plain Dealer, these Jokes are en-
tirely unwarranted. 1T is n fact"
states the Plain Dealer, that of "a
counties of Kentucky only permit
the sale of liquor except on physi-
clans prescriptions. The big state of
Texas, which has a wide open repu-
tation in the north, has 100 prohibit
ton counties; Georgia leads all of her
sister states of the south with 1872;
Mississippi has "a, Tennessee 20, North
Carolina 60, Virginia SIS, Alabama so,
Arkansas so, West Virginia 40 and
Florida 80"

HIS BIRTHDAY.

strom's birthday. Mr. Lindstrom
thinks great deal about his birthdays,
principally because they belong to
him. He is of the opinion that such
occasions should be celebrated in a
proper fashion, and for that reason in
vited some of his friends to help him
do good job.
About o'clock p. m. the clans be-
gan to gather and 2 or 3 hours were
passed at whist. Then it was that
Lindstrom began i'll earnest with his
part of the celebration. With great
dignity he escorted his guests to the
Royal Cafe, where the amiable hostess,
Mrs. Poignant, had prepared feast Of
such magnitude that the effort to con
sumo it cost many button that had
heretofore been considered safe and
solid. We forgot to mention that it was
"stag" party.
When hungry men eat they are not
talkative and the first course was con-
sumed in comparative silence, but
liorids loosen their tongues. When
Mike O'Connor found after the second
course that there was more to follow,
he arose and danced horn pipe to
settle what he had already consumed.
Mike is not large man and what he
eats has to be we'll packed. About this
time the mayor began telling a story,
but was interrupted by Shep. calling
for European plums.
As an antidote, the Judge and Haman'
who were the only ones in the crowd
who could really sing, started up the
beautiful and comprehensive melody,
entitled "There's hole in the bottom
of the sea-" All joined in the chorus,
which so alarmed mine hostess that
she hurriedly appeared with an inn
mense plate of chicken.
Stubbins, who has been bachelor
for so long, took no part in the CONVEX
sation but stuck to his eating with such
persistency that his friends began to
fear for his capacity. When all was
over and Lindstrom had knocked the
cork out of the last bottle of Mumm's
extra dry, and the cigars had been pass
ed, everybody went home full of good
cheer and the best the land affords,
and ready to vote Mr.. G. A. Lindstrom
a prince among entertainers.
The following beautiful ballad was
written by Poet O'Connor in honor of
the occasion:
When old bachelors assemble, they have
They Dance and sing and eat and drink the
good old wine. :.
Nor care or sorrow fills their cup of joy-it
is o'erhowing;
They're happy lot, you can Det When once
you get them going.
They pass around some matchless tales, one
outdoing the other
You'd burst your sides to see the prankS
when they all get together.
All can sing, aud all can dance, for they are
birds of feather;
the better.
They depart sometimes from custom, and adj
nit some married men.
Who imagine they are single when once they
get within;
They feel so gay, but that's their way, they're
used TO hot time"
When they get home they change their tome
they have to toe the line.
Here's health to the old bachelors: may
they be always single;
May their birthdays come often and their
pockets ever jingle.
Well whoop her up and drink our cup, as we
did in days gone by;
Well dance and sing and make things ring,
or know the reason why.
