These Who Represented steel.
sHAFFER PRESENTS THE CASE.
why He InsIsts on the Non-UnIon Mills
Being Made Union.

At the afternoon session President
Shaffer. In behalf of the amalgamated
Association. formally presented the
case for the organized workers and
the strikers He laid stress upon the
fact that until this year the union had
made no effort directly to force a union
in all the plants of the combine. for the
reason that it was thought best to
have that movement originate and be
carried on among the workmen in the
mills. Since last year, however, n new
condition confronted the union men.
The officials of the various companies
had plainly indicated, he said. that
they are working on policy for oper-
ating their non-union plants in prefer
ence to the union mills. and only work
ing the latter when it is absolutely
necessary.
This plan. he declared. is forcing the
union men to desert the organization
I'm order TO get work. The idle mills.
being union. and the union men being
rendered poverty-stricken as the price
for being members of the organization,
means either that the Amalgamated
Association is going to be disbanded
soon. or else the non-uniOn mills Will
have to be made union, so that equal
Justice will he given to all. 1t was
vi llle anu AOA thN
gamated Association that the non
union mills he done away with. as
Shaffer put the situation.
In reply to the statements of Shafrer
the officers of the various companies
present gave on outline of their posi-
ton They denied any intention 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 trouble among
them. The plea on both sides was list
ened to with the closest attention by
all of the members of the conference.
The tone on each side was amicable.
and il was apparent that the manufac-
turers' representatives were prepared
TO go long way to gain a peaceful
solution of the existing difficulties.

SERIOUS FOR FRANCE.
How To Keep Up with the Procession with
n Waning Population.


Paris. July 12.-The naval expendi-
ture OF France for 1902 is officially
proposed to be $62, 400. 900. which at
first sight seems to be So, 100000 less
than in 1901, but II II Is taken into ac-
count that the cost of maintaining the
marine Infantry and artillery. amount
ing 10 about $5.4OO, 900, has been trans
ferred from the navy to the ministries
OF war and THE colonies. IL is found
that the money that France intends
TO spend upon the navy during 1902
Is i'm reality s., 100000 in excess of the
naval expenses OF the current year
1t is matter of serious considera-
ton for the French whether they are
not spending upon their navy more
than their national resources warrant
France has now piled up a debt in
Volving an annual charge eforinterest of
nearly 10000. 900, or, in other words
every man. woman and child in
France has now to pay So per annum
for interest on the national debt. The
army costs the country $132 100000 a
year. and the total expenditure for
1902 is officially proposed to be $I20,-
100000.
Moreover. reflections upon the
French census cause renewed uneasi-
ness. Last March the population In
round numbers was 3S,GO0.OOO, being
an Increase of only $50, 1000 since 1896,
and even this meager result is mostly
accounted for by Paris and its sub
burbs, where the increase has been
$4,000. due principally to foreign inn
migration. so that i'm the rest of France
the population has been augmented by
only $4,000 during the last five years.
That is to say, for military and naval
purposes the population is almost sta
tionary, and in this respect France
stands alone among the great nations
Of Europe.
Under these conditions VI. Jaures.

yanced thinkers among the radicals
