Plttsburg, Pa. august 3l-The first
break in the strike at McKeesport
was made yesterday evening when
about forty men went to work in the
seamless tube department of the Ma
tonal Tube works. Late last night,
when pressed for some. expression on
the Labor Worlds impeachment edi-
torial, President Shaffer said: "The
paper has mo Standing in the labor
] world and is owned and edited by
men bitterly opposed to me from the
start. My course is above impeach--
ment and the only damage the in
spired articles can do is to create n.
bad Impression temporarily, but Will
not influence thinking people. The
editorial is entitled Sacrifice Shat
fer Save the Amalgamated" The
World editorial, which is a long one.
follows in part:
rs the Amalgamsted Association Of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers to be sent
to slaughter in lost fight and sacri-
feed on the altar of the mad and sell
fish ambition of this creature Shat
fer? This is no time for sentiment.
1t is a time for facts and plain speak
ing. The fight against the steel trust
is lost, but no order comes from Anal
gamated headquarters where Shaffer
covers to spare the brave men at the
front, Leaders of organized labor,
forbid 1t in the name of the cause you
hold dear, but* which is menaeed as
long as Shaffer is allowed to live. For
bid it in the name Of labors honor
and honesty which Skaters acts have
impugned.'
Then follows an limitations of an
accusation of stock dealing that Mr..
Shaffer has repeatedly denied. Seven
teen other reasons are given why
Shaffer should be. impeached, and the
editorial closes as follows:
"Since Shaffer will not sacrifice him
self, lie must be sacrificed. The Anal
gamated must be saved and ShaRer
sacrificed. Sacrifice Shaffer and save
the Amalgamated."

Perrin. September 2-It is very
doubtful according to a dispatch 20
the Lokal Anziegsr from liasle. switz-
erland. whether Prince chuan will
come to Berlin to make formal almogy
for the murder OF Baron Won Ketteler.
Members of the expiatory mission say;
Under present conditions we can never
go to Berlin. We would rather die
1t appears that they object particu-
larly to Prince Chuan's attendants
prostrating themselves before Emperor
William inasmuch as this is special
honor reserved for the emperor of
China and would involve a recognition
of the kaiser's equality. The following
information is given regarding Prince
Chuan's speech to the kaiser: ff
Prince Chuan intended to say: THE
Chinese government regrets that Baron
Won Ketteler was killed. But the
German government dicated the fol-
lowing form: The Chinese govern
ment begs pardon for the murder of
the German minister, Baron Won Ket
teller" fse A.
The Chinese in Basic are trying to
give the case international importance
by emphasizing the fact that one of the
dignitaries selected for prostration was
made sbaronet by Queen, Victoria,

THE cUDAHY ABDUCTION.
tain Information Regarding the
kidnaiDers Of Eddie.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. IA letter has
been turned over to Chief Donahue,
Of the Omaha police department, in
which an offer is made to deliver GER
tain information to him regarding
the abductors of Eddie Cudahy upon
his compliance with certain condi-
tons. The chief and Mr.. Cudahy
evidently considered the letter au-
thentic and Of enough Importance to
justify a reply, because the follow
ing advertisement appeared in the
columns of local paper yesterday
morning: "Your request, asked for
in letter mailed at Lincoln on Janu-
airy 4, to be answered before January
Z, will be granted.-E. A. Cudahy, ].
A. Donahue." Both Mr.. Cudahy and
Chief Donahue declined to say what
the contents of the Lincoln letter
were or to refer to the conditions
prescribed therein. 1t is stated that
the letter is from n man who knows
every member of the gang which kid
naped Eddie Cudahy on December Is.
Further, 1t is stated positively that
the revelations to be made by the
writer of the letter will involve n well
known man in this city who has been
suspected but against whom no
positive evidence could be obtained.
The acceptance of the offer of the un-
known writer leads to the belief
that he has placed price on his
knowledge Of the crime and has
taken this means to protect himself
from discovery, as he gave no adj
dress in his letter, advising an ad-
vertisement be inserted II his propo-
sition were considered favorably.
