QUIET NOW REIGNs.
steed Trust Continues to Equip sIills
With Non-Unfon Men


With NOn-UniOn Men.
Pittsburg, Aug. 24.-Aside from the
partial equipment of the Star plant Of
the American Tin Plate company and
the preparation for it's immediate re-
sumption of business there were no
special developments in the strike sit
uation in this city yesterday. No
further trouble occurred at the Penn
sylvania Tube works and at all other
strike points quiet reigns. The Anal
gainated people point with pride to the
conduct of their members in restrain
they see non-unionists being marched
into the mills to take their places.
The incident at the Star plant yester-
day morning is given as an example of
especial significance, and to use an
Amalgamated officials expression,
shows the men have been educated 20
the knowledge that their strongest
weapon in such cases is silence and
submission until it is demonstrated
that the mills cannot be operated sue
cessfully without the aid of the skilled
men now on strike.
The steel men. on the other hand;
are highly pleased with their success
in manning the Star plant, and say
that If the men they secure are not mo-
Tested it will be but short time until
all of their mills will be in full opera
ton and doing good work. While
The Strikers Claim
that four of the new men at the Star
plant have deserted the company and
say that others would leave If they
could get out Of the mill, Supt. Harper
maintains that he has 100 men at work;
that none have deserted and that the
men can go and come from the mill as
they please. Mr.. Harper says the plant
will be in smooth running order to-
night and he apprebeLds no further
difficulty in its operation. The Painter
mill has $50 men at work and the man
agement expects to be running full
handed by next week. Two mills are
being operated at the Lindsay & Nc
Cutcheon plant. one of them the ten
inch mill. No sign of break in the
Carnegie upper and lower Union
plants made its appearance yesterday.

secured from outside points. The
strikers are still vigilant as pickets,
but are keeping quiet and making no
threats. At Irondale the tin plate
company gained another victory yes
terday by the successful start Of one
set of rolls. There are said to be
enough men in the plant to man one
mill one turn and the company officials
say now that the break has been made
they will get the men back. M

A rare phenomenon attended an
earthquake that visited a little town
in Mexico recently. Having wrecked
several houses in the town the tremor
passed on to a lake in the neighbor-
hood, the waters of which it put into
violent agitation. The agitation ceased
after few minutes, and then the
water gradually disappeared, leaving
the bottom of the lake exposed, wien
1t was seen that the earthquake had
opened a fisslre in the bottom and
thus drained it.

and Financial Aid From other
Labor Organizations.
Pittsburg. Aug. Is. The conferences
of the labor leaders at the offices OF the
Amalgamated association yesterday
was the leading feature of the strike
during the day. The officials of the Or
ganization all seemed pleased with the.
way things We're moving, and one Of
them said somewhat mysteriously:,
I'm another six days you will see a
decided change in the strike that will
tell with greater effect on the trust
and aid in hurrying the final outcome
Of this struggle . III
Just what this change is to be was ,
not said, but it was inferred strongly
that the coming event hinged upon the
conference that was taking place. Two
sessions We're held by the conferees be.
hind closed doors. After the adjourn
ment Of the first session none Of the
participants would give out any in
formation of the proceedings further
than to say that the leaders had been
called together for the purpose of hav-
ing the situation thoroughly explained
to them and to have some action
taken looking to the aid of the strikers
morally and financiallN by all Of the
organizations represented. There were
present at, the conference beside the
Amalgamated officials, John Mitchell,
president Of the Mineworkers of Amer
lea; j. w. jerks, member of the in.
dustr1al commission; Ralph M. Easley,
secretary of the National Civic Fedora
ton, and Henry M. White, general Sec
rotary of the United Garmentworkers.. !
Whole Situation Discussed.
When President Shaffer was seen at
his home last night he said in reference
to the days meeting that it was not
preconcerted one, but just happened.
During the meeting, however, the
whole strike situation was discussed.
There was nothing Of Importance ac-.i
complished. Mr.. Shaffer said no ar
rangement had been made to submit .
new peace proposition to the corpora
ton or a further proposition for arbi-
tration, providing, however, that he
did not know what individual act the
conferees might take in the future. No.
mention was made of the miners or
other trades taking sympathetic ac-
ton. 1t is believed that as result of
the meeting another effort. will be
made to induce the United States Steel
corporation to enter another confer
ence.
The strikers make the claim that
very little actual work has been done
by the combine in any of it's plants
since the strike began and that what
product has been turned out has been
of inferior character. Notwithstand-
ing this the steel officials declare them
selves well pleased with the condition
Of affairs and say all the mills started
are working satisfactorily and turning
out good product.

A Dream of coppcr.

The dream that is SAID to have re-
vealed to u young chemist in Pennsyl-
vania the secret of tempering copper
canl.ot be accounted among the idle
fancies of the brain should his expert
ments prove as successful us they
promise. 1t Is a practical vision that
supplies formula to experiment upon
that may result in restoring what has
for centuries been considered lost
art.
The psychological part of the Penn
sylvania incident does not show. how
ever, that the dreamer was blessed
with an outright revelation. He had
long been experimenting with copper
in an effort to obtain the required
hardness that would make it cut steel.
and, like shrewd American, he had
in view the large reward said to have
been offered by the government for the
discovery of such 2 formula. This
task naturally affected his sleeping as
well as his waking hours, and it was
subconscious suggestion that at last
gave him a clew to what he sought. A
sample of tempered copper, sent to
Washington, is claimed to have with
stood every test.

Pine Need{es.

1t having been announced some time
since that oil of pine was beneficial in
relieving pulmonary complaints it
seems that since then quite an indus
try has sprung up in Oregon in its
manufacture. The oil is made from
pine needles. which are stripped from
the trees twice a year. Some of the
trees, 1t is said, yield from 600 to 800
pounds OF leaves at each picking, a
good hand being able to pick about
500 pounds day. AS soon as picked
the leaves are sent to the factory,
where the oil is extracted by distilla-
tion, ten pounds Of oil being produc-
ed from two thousand pounds of
leaves. The fibre that remains is wo-
ven into fabrics and mixed with hair
for mattresses. 1t is also used as
filling for cigars, to which It imparts
a pleasant quality. A notable fact
connected with the process is that 1t is
considered benefit to the trees to
strip them twice year. Those engag-
ed in the industry are mostly Ger
mans.
