THE STRIKE ENDED
Newport News Mach1nists to Return
to W ork at Old Scale

Newport News, Va, July 1.-THE
strike of the Newport News machinists
is at an end. The climax came sud
denly tonight at a meeting attended
by practically all Of the machinists
from the s~hipyards. when a vote was
taken, and by unanimous consent the
men decided to return to work Monday
at the old scale.
The fact that the m%achinists could not
obtain funds with which to support the
die men, and the further fact that the
shlpyard management demonstrated it's
ability to fill the vacant places, are re-
sponsible for the defeat of the strikers.
After The meeting this morning a
committee waited on Acting Superin-
tendent Hopkins. of the yards, General
Superintendent Post being out Of the
city, and asked that the men be al
lowed to return to work Monday al
the old wages. This request was &C
ceded to, Mr.. Hopkins informing the
committee that the men, many OF
whom have LEFT the city, would b.
given their old places back and would
De allowed ten days in which to return
TO work. He told h committee that
immediate action was necessary on
the part Of the machinists II they
would head of the new men destined
for this place. This immediate action
was taken tonight, and kilograms were
sent stopping the shipment OF outside
machinists to the city.
The end Of the strike is hailed with
ioy here, for business a suffered, as
we'll as individuals.

MANY CHRISTIANS KILLED
Conflicts with the Populace on
Corean Island OF Quelpart

Berlin, July 1.-THE Cologne Gazette
publishes a dispatch from Seoul, Corea,
dated July 9Th, saying that bloody con-
f1icts extending over "a period of ten
days. have occurred on the island Of
Quelpart between the Roman Catholic
missionaries and their pupils and the
populace of the island. Fifteen of the
natives and about 300 of the mission
pupils are reported to have been killed
during the encounters.
The governor Of Quelpart, according
to the dispatch, says the trouble was
the fault of the pupils and arose from
their support of the tax collectors in
levying illegal taxes upon the natives.
Upon hearing hat two French mis-
s~ionarieS had been killed in the island,
aFrench warship proceeded to Quelpart,
but upon finding the missionaries in
question alive the warship returned.
The Corean government has commits
stoned Huan Khan and an American
court official to investigate the matter
and is sending a company of Corean
infantry with them to Quelpart-
Quelpart is in the yellow sea, sixty
miles south of Corea, 10 which country
it is subordinate. 1t is a penal settle
ment.

Of Mr.. Pages article: I'VE hope the

This is equivalent to Editor Bailey's

Think of a religious newspaper giving
the ministry such advicei Was any

This is the gentleman (Walter H.
Page who has grown so great that
he pities the poor people among whom
he had the misfortune to be born. We
are mazed that a southern man could
fall sc low as to write that Islander
upon the best and bravest and most
enlightened. class Of men in all the
south-the preachers of the gospel.
But we are still more amazed that so
many of our people swallow every
thing he says as if they were words of
Holy Writ. Suppose the New York
u or the Chicago Inter-Ocean had
written this diatribe against u south
ern ministry? From every section of
the ountr hot lead would have been
poured into the offender. Is is any
better or more tolerable because it
comes from a man born in North Car
DINA? Shall we meekly bow our heads
ard allow the lash laid on our backs
because the whip is in the hands of
one of our own household? But the
very paper from which we copy this
scurrillous screed (the Charlotte OBJ
server) gives it editorially endorsement
and has not a word to say in defense
of the men who ave borne a glorious
part in casting up the highway for
southern progress. AS for Mr.. Page,
he knows better. He is obliged to
know better. for he is an intelligent
man, and comes OF q family, some of
whose members were devoted and dis
tinguished ministers. Have they sup
pressed thought and prevented growth?
Is their chief business the herding Of

for the preachers. They need none.
Some things are too clear to waste

however, the easiest part of the day.

before. So hot did it become during the
afternoon as the wind drove the hot air
into windows and doorways hat all
through the business section of the city
tenants of offices slammed down their
windows to keep out the air. AT the
theatres where matinees were in pro-

doors to keep them closed as much as
possible. The air was so dry, however,
that it's effects were not a. disastrous as
would have been the case a greater
humidity prevailed.
Tonight the wind changed to the
northeast and the mercury went down

THE GREAT LABOR CONFERENCE
In Pittsburg Devoid of Results - To
Meet Again Today

Pittsburg, July 1.-THE great labor
conference at the Hotel Lincoln today
failed to come to any agreement. An
other conference will be held tomorrow.
The object of the conference was the
settlement of the strike ordered by the
Amalgamated Association Of iron, steel
and tin workers in the mills of the
American Sheet Steel Company and in
those of the American Steel Hoop Com
pany. The conference also had anOth-
er purpose in view, the prevention of a
general strike in all the mills contrOll-
ed by the United States Corporation,
the two companies in whose mills the
strike had been ordered being %consitu-
ent companies of the great steel COM
bine.
Two sessions of the conference were
held today. The first convened shortly
after 10 o'clock in the morning. AT
noon the meeting adjourned for dinner.
At , o'clock in the afternoon the Sec
Ond session was and was con-
tinued unit 5 o'clock. AS a settlement
within a reasonable time was seen to
be out of the question the conference
adjourned to meet at 10 O'Clock tomor-
row
The Amalgamated Association was
represented at the conference by Pres
ident Shaffer n other officers. The
steel interests at the conference were
represented by several officials Of the
companies interested.
AT the afternoon session, President
Shaffer. in behalf of the Amalgamated
Association, formally presented the case
for the organized workmen and the
strikers.
In reply to the statements of Presi-
dent Shaffer, the officers of the various
companies present gave an outline of
their position. They denied any inten-
ton of working an injustice toward
union workmen in their mills. The
feeling for the Amalgamated men had
always been friendly, they said, and
they had no desire to force any trou-
BILE among them.
The pleas on both sides were listened
to with the closest attention by all of
the members of the conference. The
o on each side was amicable n il
was apparent that the manufacturers
representatives were prepared to go a
long way to gain a peaceful solution
Of the existing difficulties. Both sides
have more arguments to present before
the issue is taken up for arbitration.
