STEEL STRIKE SITUATION.
ORGANIZING TUBE MILL WORKERS
At M'KEESPORT.
Labor Leaders Declare They Will bo
Able to Close the Plant Thereby Af-
WeIlsvillo IL Non-Union Men AFRO
Brought in to Work.

Pittsburg, July 21.-The important
event in the strike history of the day
is the organization of the tube mill
workers at McKeesport. The word
from there tonight is that after long
and arduous work Assistant Secretary
Tighe of the Amalgamated association
succeeded in organizing 125 men Of the
National Tube Works company and at
the meeting 25 men from the depart
ments were initiated and Mr.. Tighe
claims that within forty eight hours
enough more of the workmen will be Sc
cured to keep the entire plant closed
down affecting 5000 men.
From Wellsville nothing has been re-
ceived here except word that the situa-
tion is unchanged and the strikers say
everything is satisfactory to them. 1t is
believed however, that an attempt Will
be made tomorrow to put men to work
there from other points, the ten men
from Vandergrift who are said to be
at East Liverpool ready to go in early
in the day being the principal men re-
lied upon for the purpose. While the
strikers say they will not commit an
overt act, there Is an uneasy feeling
manifest throughout the entire valley,
and no one is willing to anticipate the
result of the proposed attempt to put
those men at work.
When seen tonight President Shaffer
expressed himself as being more than
satisfied with the weeks results. Mr..
Shaffer would say nothing of the plans
of his assucia ton during the coming
week further than to reiterate his for
mer statements that his programme
was perfected and would be carried out
to the letter, His people had been pre-
pairing for this conflict, which they
foresaw for years and are prepared to
carry on the fight for an almost indef1-
note period.
The 22-inch mill at the Boston Iron
and Steel works of the National Tube
company at McKeesport will resume
operations in the morning after shut
down lasting two weeks. The plant
was closed for repairs. The situation
as to the De Wees Wood plant remains
unchanged.

RIOT AT HEA7oA'S WHARF
STEAMER TOLCHESTER'S DECK
HANDS ATTACK POLICE.
Two Squads of Patrolmcn Sent to
Assist Several Officers Badly Cut
and Bruised Three Arrests Made
Captain of Steamer Remained in
Hiding Until Trouble Was Over.

| The return of the Harugari Singing
society and about thirteen hundred
friends from an excursion to North
Beach yesterday on the iron steamer
colchester was signalized by small
riot at Heaton's wharf about 1030
O'Clock last evening, in which several
policemen were badly bruised, and re-
serves from the Grand avenue precinct
and from police headquarters were
summoned on hurry call to quell the
disturbance. The policemen made three
arrests, the prisoners being William
Mcdowell John Frennon and William
Reilly. All are deckhands of the Toll
chester and it Is claimed by the police
that Mcdowell was the ringleader in
the riot For the other side, Policeman
Cohane has a badly cut head, having
been struck by a camp chair in the
hands of one of the rioters; Policeman
Trainor has a black eye and broken
finger, and several other patrolmen re-
ceived rough handling in the melee
The COLCHESTER had just docked at
Heatons wharf when the row began. 1t
is said that the trouble arose between
the deckhands and the proprietors of
the> refreshment supply of drinkables,
soft stuff" etc The deckhands claim
ed that they were hired to watch the
goods and demanded their pay when
the boat docked. This was refused and
the riot was precipitated. Camp stools,
bottles and other articles were flying
through the air a moment later and the
rumpus was general. Policemen Co
hane, Ryan, Clark and Cooney were
aboard the colchester, being supernu-
meraries and hired by the management
to preserve order They could not hold
the infurlated deckhands down, and
were themselves roughly handled The
fight became general aboard, and help
was summoned. The steamers whistle
was blown for aid, and there were many
calls for the captain to appear and put
a stop to the row, but the policemen
say that he remained in hiding until
matters uuieted down. 1t is fortunate
that the passengers had left the boat,
else a panic might have resulted, with
possible loss of life.
When news of the row reached Ser
geant Mcbride, of the Grand avenue
precinct he at once dispatched all his
spare men, half a dozen, to the dock,
and he asked for a relay from head
quarters Sergeant Cook sent a. detail
of eight men out, and the force Of po
licemen was sufficient to bring the riot
ing deckhands to terms. The prisoners
are out-of-town men and got a taste of
New Haven methods which will remain
in their memory. Several other arrests
will probably be made in adjusting all
differences.

SIMON l.. Ron G. ERS DEAD.
silver Manufacturer KILLED by Excite
ment Over Sutt.

Bristol, July 21.-Simon L. Rodgers,
of the silverware firm of S. L. & G.. H.
Rodgers, who was stricken with apo
plexy at his summer home on Lake
Compounce last night, died late this
afternoon. Excitement due to suit
now pending in the United States dis
trict court at Hartford, which was
brought by the International Silver
company, of Meriden, against the S. l..
& G. H. Rodgers company, is thought
to have been the exciting cause of the
shock. The suit was for an alleged in
fringement of trademark rights, and an
injunction was sought restraining the
defendants from dealing in goods with
the trademark mentioned. Mr.. Rodgers
was sixty years old.

Sydney, N. S. W., July 21.-The
Orient Steam Navigation company have
decided to man their steamers with Las
cars, which means that the mail lines
between Australia and Great Britain

The labor organizations have started
an agitation in favor of inserting a
clause in the pending postal bill that
only white persons should be employed
on mail steamers.
The Australian manager of the Ori-

is necessary to employ Lascars be-

Constitution and Columbia to Meet In
Specially Arranged Events.

Glen Cove, N. Y, July I.-It is now
understood that some special races are
to be arranged between the Columbia
and Constitution in the sound about the
middle of August. After the first series
at Newport early this month it was
thought that formal trial contests for
the selection of the cup defender might
be dispensed with, the committee hav
ing a sufficient basis for judgment
without them. 1t is now apparent,
however, that the trials will be held.
The dates have not yet been set, but
the races will probably take place off
Newport early in September.

for relief. This call was also generally
observed.
