Ranger is Not Enough.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. ia
telegram has been prepared at the
navy department to go forward to the
Iowa Immediately upon her arrival at
San Francisco, ordering her to prepare
at once to go to sea-. When she ad-
vises the department that she is ready
an order will follow for her to pro-
ceed at once to Panama.
The little cruiser l.anger, which is
at San Diego, was ordered to sail to-
day. 1t is not believed that there
will be any delay in her departure, as
she has had several days notice in
which to prepare for sea. She is very
slow, however, making not more than
six knots, and as the distance to Pan
anna is about 2,7OO miles, it would re-
quire almost fifteen days for her to
reach her destination. The depart
ment therefore decided to dispatch the
Iowa as soon as the battleship arrives
at San Francisco and can prepare for
the trip.

ture has annually presented to the

sources and possibilities of this won
derful young state. the flower of the

tien, without superiors anywhere, both
as to quality and yield. This year
corn and vegetables have been badly
scorched in some parts of the state, 1t
is true, and yet in many other parts
they are good Small grain was never
better.

TO BREAK THE STRIKE
Steel Corporation Brings Number of Non
union Men from South.
USE THEM AT MOsfssEN PLANT
Expects to Add 1t to the List of Mills
Already In Operation-Union Members
Say 1t Is ImpossibIe-A maigamated
Leaders Claim Hidden Strength.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. ia party
of strikebreakers brought up from the
south by special train were safely de-
| llvered in the steel steel mills at
Monessen early yesterday morning and
the United States Steel corporation ex-
| poets to add that plant to the number
running partly or in full with nom
union men within the next twenty
four hours. The Carnegie properties
also resumed last night without a
break in the forces operating them,
and that fact, joined with the prom
ise Of an early start at Monassen, leads
the steel officials here to take very
hopeful view of the situation. The
strikers claim that men enough to start
the Monessen mills cannot be obtained
and that they have not yet shown
their hand. At Duquesne and other
Carnegie plants they promise that de-
velopments will indicate their strength
to better advantage.
1t was anticipated that there would
be trouble when the non-union men
reached Monessen, for the striker;
were watching the railroads and riv-
ers and had expressed a determina-
tion to prevent the entrance of the
strikebreakers. The men who were
handling the movement for the steel
corporation successfully veiled their
action, however, and had their charges
safely within the plants hours before
it was known definitely by anyone
on the outside that the men had ar
rived. They were brought to Mones-
sen by special train and were landed
at o'clock in the morning. 1t is
not known how many men were in the
party or where they were obtained.
The mills are guarded and the men
will be kept on the premises until all
danger of trouble ceases. Bunks for
about fifty men have been erected and
large quantities of food have been pur-
chased for them. A fence has been
thrown around the property and
guards posted to keep out ali intruders.
The strikers will undoubtedly make an
effort to induce the strikebreakers to
quit and the fear is expressed that
there will be trouble if any demonstra-
tion is made against the men or prop
erty The situation there is regarded
as very delicate.
The steel managers may succeed i'll
getting another mill on tomorrow at
the Painter plant. Two mills were
operated there last week with non
union men and part of another crew
was gotten together last week. Just
as soon as enough men are available
the third mill will be started.
