South Chicago Steel Workers Vote To
Not Strike, Also To Extend Financial
Aid To Their Brothers.

Chicago mills refused to join in the
great steel strike. BY vote of 15S

to the Federal Steel Company, in ac-
cordance with their wage contracts,
was higher than their duty 10 the
union. At the same time the South
Chicago steel men expressed their full
sympathy with the strike. and In the
formal statement by which they an
nounced their decision they offered
financial aid to the strikers In the
East. The South Chicago men an
nounccd their decision to General STU
perintendent L. II. Mccullough, Jr,

of the resolutions Is as follows. 1t IL
the spirit of Lakeside Lodge No. %
ard commercial Lodge No. II of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel and Tin Workers, that. owing to
the existing contract between said
lodges and the Illinois Steel Company,
we are justified In standing by our
contracts, and, owing to n ruling OF
President Mahlon NJ. Garland in 1897
that The association never broke nm
ngrecmcnt-we do not wish to bring
the Amalgamated Association into dis
repute with out employers, all labor
organizations or the general public by
breaking n contract nj this time. We
extend our financial aid to our broth
crs In their struggle for the building
up and maintenance of the Amalga-
mated Association In the East and
pray that their efforts may be crown
ed with success.
All that the South Chicago steel
men have to worry them is whether
they will he allowed to remain in good
standing as members of the Amalga-
mated Association. 1t was said that
they had received assurance that their
reasons for dlsobeylng the strike order

bers Borcd Holes Under vaultLLost
$4,000 In Their Haste.

The Selby Smelling and Lead Com
pany, of San Francisco. was robbed of
S2SO,000 worth of gold bullion Monday
night The thieves tunneled from out
side the building under the vault at
the works, which are located on the
bay shore, about 80 miles from San
Francisco. They secured nearly 1,200
pounds of fine gold, worth $40 an
ounce. and escaped without leaving n
trace of their identity behind. 1t is
supposed that when the robbers Sc
cured their loot they loaded It into a
boat that was waiting and disappear
cd In the fog that had arisen over San
Francisco bay. In their haste to get
away they left two bars worth nearly
100000 lying on the bank mt the wa
ter's edge. The robbers took the pre-
caution to sprinkle red pepper In the
tunnel In order to make things as un.
comfortable as possible for anyone
who might attempt to pursue them.
The robbery was not discovered until
the employees started to work Tues.
day morning. This gave the burglars
some hours start. All the sherffs In
California were Immediately notified

Boer Symp aihlzers al New Orleans Credited
with Attempt TO Destroy Transport
Ready 10 Sail for Africa.

What Is regarded ms an attempt of
Bocr iympatllzer to blow up Brl.
ish transport occurred shortly after
midnight, at New Orleans Saturday
morning. when there was terrific ex-
plosion Mt the stock landing. where
the Mechaniclan Is loading with mules
for South Africa. The explosion shook
houses, ratified dishes anu awakened
people for some distance around.
Most OF the crew of the ship were
asleep. but the shock brought them
quickly on deck. An examination
showed n large dent on the starbonrd
side. Three large plates Mt the wa
ter's edge had been stove In and con-
siderable water was flowing into the
ship. Pumps were Immediately put
to work and when daylight came II
was found the vessel was In no danger
of sinking. The crew denigd that
there were any explosives on board,
and those who examined the ship
state that the explosion was from the
outside, and that some sort of bomb
or torpedo had been used. Alfred be-
blanc. general officer of the Harrison
line, said the damage would be re-
paired ut New Orleans and the vessel
will get away for South Africa as soon
as possible with her cargo of mules.
A British officer who was on the ship
last night, said the explosion was ter
rife, and that column of water went
high up in the air and came down on
deck. 1t was suggested in some quar-
ters that 1t might have been the act
of some disgruntled mulctccrs, ns
some who have left the city on the
British transports have returned with
complaints of Ill treatment.

PROSPERITY is UNINTERRUPTED.
No Complaint About Uncertainty Has
Been EIlmin atcd-Pcssble Results Of
the Steel Strike Discounted.

II. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly review
of trade says:
There is no complaint from any
part of the country over the volume
of current distribution of merchan-
disc, and what hesitation Is observ-
ed in general trade is chiefly due to
the uncertainty as to the duration
of the labor troubles in the steel man
ufacture. Collections continue good,
better weather has helped the agri-
cultural classes, money Is easy, and
stocks OF merchandise carried are not
above the average for this season OF
the year, particularly in the west and
southwest.
Relief is felt in all departments of
the iron and steel industry now that
uncertainty is ended and the posi-
ton of the contestants made clear.
Structural, wire and plate mills are
not affected and the production of
rails will not be materially curtailed.
Supplies of bars and tubes will be re-
stricted, and quotations in these lines
tend to follow the advance already
secured for hoops and sheets. A bad
feature Is the increased importation
of tin plates. which had been manu-
factured in sufficient quantity to about
meet the domestic demand, imports
in the last fiscal year being valued at
only $3,770,062, agninst $50, 746,920 10
years ago. Purchasers of many
forms of finished steel are showing
much eagerness to place contracts,
while on the other hand pig iron is
in less urgent reuqest. Having no
further ammunition and drought re-
ports for holsting prices, spectators
have turned suddenly to the other ex-
treme and demonstrate that early
frosts threaten all the late planted
corn. The result has been spot quo
tation at this city of more than 90
cents all the week, and the practic-
al elimination of exporters from do
mestic markets.
a healthy demand from domestic
millers and phenomenal Atlantic ex-
ports give strength to prices of
wheat. AS the season advances 1t be-
comes more apparent that foreign
crop losses will necesstate unprece-
dented shipments from the United
States, and with the settlement of
the strike on the Pacific coast, there
VIII be movement of great magni-
tude.
Eastern shoe manufacturers find
conditions as favorable as last week,
while reports from the west are more
encouraging. Orders from the drought
affected regions are no longer coun-
termanded. and earlier cancellations
are being restored. Leather is steady
and no alteration in prices is anti
cipated.
