theatrical Organization Well Known
to Ken0sha Theatre GOers Will
Not Appear Again.
OWEN SIGNS WITH OTIS SKINNER.
Leading Actor Will Take an Important
Part in a New Play.-Miss REYNOLDS
Has Not as Yet Signed.

The mem bers of the William Owen
company who were hurrying to Kenos-
ha to begin the rehearsals for the new
play which was to have been put on IN
the early fall were notified yesterday
that they need not come to Kenosha as
the company has been disbanded and
the members will be forced to seek
engagements with other companies.
The disbandment of the company was
brought about by the fact that Mr..
Owen, who was the leading man in the
company, has signed with Otis Skinner
and during the coming season he will
have leading role in Mr.. SINNERS
new play, Francesca DaRimml, which
will be given it's first production at
McVicker's theatre in Chicago during
the early part of August. Mr.. Owen
will pay the part of Paola and it is the
second star..ro1e in the new comedy.
With the signing of Mr.. Owen his
company was practically robbed or its
life and the manager at once wired the
members of the company that he
would not take a company on the road
during the coming season. Miss Key
no1ds, of this city, who shas played
leading roles with the company for
the past three seasons, is at her home
in this city and has not as yet signed
for next season. The changes in the
plans of the company will have little
effect on the Kenosha actress, as it was
very probable that she would not have
been with the Owen company should
they have continued on the road. She
has an offer of a number Of engage
ments and she will undoubtedly be
with a leading company during the
coming season.
The announcement that the Owen
company has disbanded will cause re-
gret in Kenosha. Mr.. Owen and his
company were always favorites here.
The first big hit the company made
was made in Kenosha and every ap-
pearance of the company here has
been greeted with crowded houses.
Mr.. Owen is we'll known to Kenosha
society and several times he has given
his services for the benefit of Kenosha
charities. Mr.. Mcconnell, for some
time manager Of the company, will
also 90 to the Skinner company to con-
tinue to divide laurels with Mr.. Owen.
Other memb ers Of the company who
were in Kenosha awaiting the re-
hearsa1s, left this afternoon for their

Clerk of the Court Ma1oney today re-

SEEKING NEW QUARTERS.
The Woman's Club May Find It Necessary
to Change Their Place of Meeting.

The Woman's club is in a quandry as
to what theysha1l do regarding meeting
quarters. For the past season the club
has been holding its regular fortnight
ly meetings. in the basement of the
library building. The room has proved
quite acceptable, but as the board of
directors of the library are entertain
ing the idea of using the room for the
purpose of a chi1dren's department. it
is not unlikely that the women will
find other rooms.
The work of the club had been out
lined for the season and the booklets
containing the program of work are
Just about to be issue from the press.
The work will GO on with English
history, taking up the Stuart line.
The women are debating whether or
not they will introduce lecture course
the coming season. Recent expert
ences have not been particularly
encouraging, but there is some thought
of making another effort

New York, July 17.-At the close Of

est interests in the United States Steel
Corporation authorized the statement
that no conference concerning the steel
strike had taken place during the day,
and that none is likely to take place
until the Amalgamated Association re-

additional statement is made that on
this point there can be no compromise,
and that the heads of the constituent
companies will not unionize such mills
as have up to this time employed non-
union men.

quoted at all about the strike, nor

as vslops and sweets" And after all
there's more truth than poetry in the
definition. Ice cream and cake may
satisfy the palate, but they are far from
satisfying to the stomach, which requires
that food be nutritious first and nice

PE2Hhrs THERE rs A Mr~TAxE
Dispute as to What the Issue Really Is
Has Been Developed.

Has Been Developed.
According to the official statement
made by the manufa cturers' conferrees
who met the Amalgamated Association
representatives and failed to agree on
a settlement of the strike the manu-
facturers did not refuse the Amalgam-
ated Association the right to organize
the nOn-un1on mills. According to the
declaration of President Shaffer, of the
Association, all that was asked of the
officers was the right to organize the
non union plants Of the companies in
terested. The strike, therefore, has
not been clearly explained.
Last night President Shaffer, when
questioned regarding the position of
the manufacturers on this point, said:
"No matter what they now say, the
fact remains that they refused the
Amalgamated men the right to organ
lie their non-union plants" He did
not believe that the accredited state
ments on this point from Vice Presi-
dent Warner Arms were correct. eff
they are. and the manufacturers are
willing to allow the Ama1gamated AS
ISOLATION to organize the non-union
plants, then" and the leader of the iron
workers grew intensely in earnest Il
say the strike is all off.
"We have never once asked the
manufa cturers to compel the men in
their non-union plants to join our or
ganizatiOn. We do not want cOercCd
men in the Amalgamated Association
If the manufacturers will abrogate that
part of the contract with non-uniOn
men in their mills that makes them
agree to keep from joining our organ
ization, or any other-remOve the re-
strictions that are now on those men
and allow us to quietly work, unmo-
Tested, among them and seek to induce
them to come to us, we will not ask
anything further. Our demand was
that they should do this. We asked
that they sign the union scale so the
men could become union"

Nine Hundred Men Quit Work on Receipt
of the Strike Order.
Wilkesbarre Pa, July 1.-THE
strike order of President Mullahy, e
the stationary firemen's association CT
Pennsylvania, was promptly obeyed az
Z a. m. yesterday when 900 members
of the organization in this section of
the state refused to go to work. Most
of the strikers are employed IS FIRE
men at the coal mines, and their fail
ure to report for duty caused nearly al
the collieries in the northern anthra
cite region to suspend operations
throwing out of work, it is estimated,
10000 men and boys.
Some of the individual coal Cper-
atorS conceded the demands Of their
employees on condition that the short
hour day was not to hold if the men
employed by the big companies did not
get the same concessions. The bis
coal companies, however, refused to
make any concessions. The officials
claimed that the demands Of the fire
men were unreasonable; that they had
received a 10 per cent. increase when
the wages of the miners were raised
last fall, and that the demands now
made upon the companies are equal to
a 20 per cent. advance.

Pttsburg, July 17-The second
strike-day closed with the Amalgam-
ated officials in a satisfied mood, and
claiming to have made good every
promise as to results. On the other
hand, the manufacturers will not say
a word concerning the strike, ana re-
fuse to be quoted in any way. Re
peated efforts to secure statements
from President Corey, of the American
Sheet Steel company, and General
Manager L. W. jerks, Of the Hoop
company, have been met with the re-
Spouse that there was no change and
nothing to be given out. The Anal
gamated people say that nothing has
been said to them of any plan for
mediation CT arbitration, and they will
continue to carry out their programme
as originally announced.
Decisive Victory of the Union.
The closing down of the Clark mill
and of the MOneSsen sheet mill IS
looked upon as a telling victory and
an almost complete tie-up OF the three
companies in the district. But one tin
mill, that at Monessen, and one sheet
mill, at Duncanville, remain at work.
The fact that the National Tube mill
men (non-uniOn) received a substantial
advance in wages Monday has caused
discomfort among the nOn-uniOn men
employed by the National Tube COM
pany at their Second avenue plant, and
the Republic mill on the south side.
The men there think they are entitled
to a similar increase To consider the
matter meetings were held last night
on the south side, and it is said a de-
mand will be made

last night: "Wellsville, July 16.-The
TVellsville Rolling mill will be run,
and it will be run non-uniOn. 1t will
start tomorrow. If it could not be run
non-union it never would be run at
all"
This statement was made by Persi-
fer +. Smith, Of Pittsburg, district
manager for the American Sheet Steel
company. He was at Wellsyille yes
terday morning and made an address
to the striking mill men. He told
them they had no grievance; they had
been we'll cared for in the past and
would be in the future This an
nouncement is the first Indication as
yet given by the manufacturers that
they were other than passive partiCi-
pants in the big strike What the re-
suit may be of an attempt to operate
the Wellsville plant none of the local
Amalgamated people will predict. All
they will say is: at cannot be accom-
plished"
