The local furnacemen have never be-

WILL STAY AT WORK.

Men of the Bayvfew Plant Will Dis
regard strike Order.
MILWAUKEE,. August 1.-THE men
of the Bayview plant of the Illinois
Steel Company, n of the Federal
Steel properties. to-day decided to stay
at work, and to disregard the order Of
President Shaffer.
A Later Report.
The Bay View lodge of the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
TIN Workers, at its meeting to-day de-
cided by a unanimous vote not to obey
the strike order of President T. j..
Shaffer and in consequence, the plant
of the Illinois Steel Company, in this
city, will be running as usual, to-mor-
row. According to the officers of the
lodge, the decision was final and a
despatch was Immediately sem to Vice
President w. G. Davis. of the Fourth
district, at South Chicago, notifying
him of the action and requesting that
President Shaffer and the executive
board in Pittsburg be Immediately in
formed.
The meeting was largely attended,
the question being the most important
that has arisen in the lodge for years.
President Joseph Redfern at once tool
up the subject at hand. Mr.. Redfern
briefly informed the lodge that. SO far
as he could learn, there was absolutely
no chance for the other employees OF
the Illinois Steel Company obeying the
strike order and that there would be
no stoppage of work in the Chicago and
Joliet mills tomorrow. He said the
sentiment there was practically the
same as hat here; that a strike on the
part of the Illinois Steel Company en-
ployes would be a violation of the con-
tract existing between the men and the
company, and that the men had abso-
lutely no grievance against their pres
ent employers. Mr.. Redfern simply
stated the result of his mission to South
Chicago and Joliet. At the conclusion
of his remarks the call Of President
Shaffer was read. 1t was apparent
from the first that the sentiment was
overwhelmingly against striking and
the only doubt in the minds of the men
was whether they owed their allie
glance to the Association or to tho
company.
Several of the speakers pointed out
that a strike at this time would be of
no advantage to the ~Amalgamated Az
ISOLATION and would do no harm to the
United States Steel Corporation, mas
much as the trust is prepared at short
notice to transfer all the work Of tie
South Chicago, Bay View and Joliet
mills to its plant at Duquesne. which
can be converted into a plant for the
making of bar steel.
Allusion was made to the friendly
relations existing between the Illinois
Steel Company and its employees and
strong emphasis was laid upon the
wage scale that has just been agreed to
by the company, which provides for en-
increase of five per cent. in wages dat
ing back to July I.
It was shown that II they decided not
to 60 to work tomorrow, the company
would be justified in Withholding this
extra money. on the ground that the

Thursday until Sunday Miss Lille

day there was change for the better
and when Uncle George left her bed

A PET FLAMINGO,
Queer Favorite Of an Army Omcer
That Resented All At
tentiOnA.

"When was down in Cuba" said Del
egate Flynn, of Oklahoma, to writer
in the Washington Post, II heard a
good story about an army officer and a
flamingo. A famingo? Why, it is a
bird of beautiful red plumage which
abounds in the tropics. Well to con-
tinue, heard of a post commandant
who, like all other post commandments,
was not popular. He had two fads.
First, he believed in whitewash and
plenty of it, asserting it to be the most
effective preventive of tropical diseases
ever discovered.2 His second fad was
an apparently unreciprocated attach
ment to pet f1amingo. who resented
being kept in captivity and who showed
his resentment by nipping a every SOL
der who passed his way. On the part
of the soldier there was nothing to do
but swear under his breath and wait
for revenge. On a certain Monday
morning an order was issued from
headquarters that all articles pertain
ing to the camp which were not shell
tered from the weather should be
whitewashed. No one who knows the
American soldier" added Mr. Flynn,
needs further information When 1
saw the flamingo he was as white as the
driven snow. The chances are that tho
bird will survive the operation. but he
Will hardly outlive the post command
