American trade relations, he asserts, have

in the Orient by which the Great Northern

one of the favorite enterprises of the rail-
way in question through its Japanese
steamship connections. Mr. Hill asserts
that there is an ever-growing and thriving

THE STEEL WORKERS. STRIKE.

President Shafer, OF the Amalgamated
Association, said on Wednesday: I'VE have
not heard from the other side at any time.
in any way or on any subject since the
close OF our conference last Saturday"
This disposes of the report that the steel
association had made overtures for arbi-
tration. A later dispatch quotes Mr..
saying that it did not desire arbitration;
that the association stood ready to grant
the demands of the men as TO hours and
wages, but as the men were striking for a
sentiment" there was nothing TO arbitrate.
The secretary of the Ohio State Board Of
Arbitration says he has made several ap-
peaIs to President Shafrer to have the whole
question submitted to arbitration. but has
had no definite answer from Mr.. Shaffer.
Thus the situation seems TO be a decided
deadlock. in which one side the other
will have TO surrender its contention. 1t
appears also that the strikers are expect
ing overtures for arbitration to come from
the association, while the latter has no
idea OF either making accepting such
overtures. The sentiment referred TO by
Mr.. Schwab as furnishing the basis of the
strike is a demand that certain mills now
nonunion shall be unionized. This is cor
rectly characterized as a sentiment. II
does not relate to any alleged grievance
of the strikers nor involve a question of
hours or wages. Compliance with the de-
mand would not better their condition I'm
any respect whatever. The most that could
be claimed is that ii would strengthen the
union and improve its chances of enforcing
compliance with future demands. The atti-
tude of the strikers is an aggressive one
against the employers. The latter not
making any war on the union. They do not
propose TO convert union mills into non
against the union. All they ask is that the
present status be continued, under which
in certain mills nonunion men are employed
| and treated on an equality with union men,

poration officers have taken their position
in fiat opposition TO that demand and dc
not propose to change it. For the stee
corporation TO have made any other de-
cision would have meant that 1t had nc
future.
For our own sakes we were compelled &c
fight this movement. Should the demands
of the association at any time become &c,
exorbtant we should have to rely upoT
the nonunionists for protection. Without
that protection should be constantly
subjected TO tyranny.
This indicates the sentiment which Mr.
Schwab says is the basis of the strike
From a disinterested point of view the
sentiment does net seem to have any gooC

cause for a strike so injurious to business
interests as the present one.

The communication of Councilman Dali
Ter. printed yesterday. painfully lays bare
the defect which has made so many Coun-
ellis unsatisfactory. 1t is that they contain
SO many members who cannot grasp fair
proposition. They cannot see that the i'm
terurban lines will bring TO the city from
other cities thousands of people who Will
spend their money in the stores and places
of business of indianapolis. Except the
wholesale trade, there is not line of trade,
from the large retail stores TO the restau-
rants, which will not be benefited by the
people which these lines would bring. All
these places OF business employ hundreds
OF men and women who will be indirectly
benefited by the visitors from other cities.
Now, all that is asked is that. TO keep
the outgoing cars on the interurban lines
from being crowded at the hour when
many people going home, so that
people desiring to go to Anderson,
Muncie and a score of towns may not be
crowded out, is to charge scent fare.
A resident of the city can get another car
in few minutes, out those who live along
the interurban lines must wait an hour
before they get one. For city people a
short wait is no hardship, but for those
who must wait an hour il is. This is all
the question that is involved. There is
good reason to believe that the intelligent
people of Indianapolis, who will be gener-
ally benefited, will not be blinded by the
demand that all cars carry passengers
at the same rate, when the interurban
cars are intended for people outside the
