WILL PUSH HIS DEMANDS.
etermined That Agents for Foreign
Corporations Must Pay Fets

Ii is the intention of Secretary of State
Layton to push his demands upon repre-
rntativ.s OF foreign corporations for Il
$50 tax into the courts unless the repre-
rEtatiyes comply with the law.
The secretary is much concerned Owe"
4 .niSintcrprctation of his recent mani
festo issued to varions representatives,
making The demand upon them, as relnir
I'd by law. II has been published that
this demand WAS upon the lawyers who
represent companies chartered il this
State. and that it would be a Knockout
blow to the corporation business at
Dover.
The fact is, however, thar not one of
the concerns chartered at Dover will bc
allied upon To pay one penny iii addition
to their franchise and annual State taNrs
demanded. These are not foreign corl"r-
,,tions, but most decidedly are domestic.
nr home corporations.
AS not more, than so corporations
which came into this State to do business
had paid the $50 fec and filed ut tho
State House Il statement of their affairs
Secretary Layton begln his investigation
and now has ii certified list, showing $50
foreign corporations doing business in
New Castle county, and nearly 200 cor
poIations at work in SUSSEX. Ken;
county's foreign list includes over so.
Thus the State is losing the license cf
300 concerns in New Castle county. and
possibly 100 in Sussex, which. if the
law was complied with. would give the
State an additional revenue of 100000.

TIGHE IN CHICAGO.
Representative Call,
Meeting of the Dissenting Unions.

Ann lsnniated's Representative Calls
Meeting Of the Dissenting Unions.
Chicago, Aug. H.. Without notfica-
tion to the officers or members of the
Amalgamated association in South Chi
cago. Michael II. Tighe, assistant secfe-
tary of the national body, has arrived
in Chicago. He at once set out for the
scene Of the meeting of last Sunday,
which has stirred the national officers
of the union.
Secretary Tighe comes clothed with
all the powers and prerogatives of
President Theodore Shatfer, whose
deputy he is, and his first official act
was TO call together the leading mem
bers of the dissenting unions and order
a special joint meeting of the two
lodges of the association.
Although the SECRETARY denies that
the question of financial aid will be
considered, 1t Is understood that, fail
ing substantial increase in the pres
ent strike benefit fund, the lodges may
suffer expulsion from the national
body.
While the visit of Mr.. Tighe aroused
considerable interest among the steel
workers, the sentiment generally was
that his Journey was useless, save per
haps to secure an increase In the
amount contributed to the eastern
strikers. Tighe will visit Joliet and
Milwaukee after the meeting here.

STEEL STRIKE CHANGES
Both Sides Make Gains In the Great
Labor Conflict.

Pittsburg, Ang. 14.-Iioth sides nave
made material gains in the strike
against the United States Steel corpor-
alton by the Amalgamated association
The remaining force at the plant OF
the National Tube works at Mckees-
port joined the strikers, and that great
plant is now practically silent. The
strikers also made some gains among
the men Mt the Lower Union mill of the
Carnegie company in Pittsburg, but
there Is conflict in the claims made
by each side as to the exact condition
of that plant. The strikers say that
they will force il to close down, while
the managers insist that they have not
been hurt and that the plant will be
kept moving.
The material gains of the manufac-
turers were at the Painters mill in this
city and the Crescent mill of the Amer
lean Tin Plate company in Cleveland.
At the former surprise was sprung on
the strikers, and two mills, one with
crew of old employees who struck on
the first order, We're going before II
was known that any such move was
contemplated. 1t is said that another
crew will be put on soon, and the man
ayers assert that many Of their Old
men will come back. There was no
disorder at the mill, and ii is said that
the old employees will not do picket
duty for fear of being blacklisted In
tile future
The American Tin Plate officials say
huIf hn mills in fhn

the following official statements:
..As the result of the attempt by the
American Tin Plate company to start
its Crescent works Mt Cleveland, IN ~

They claim to have further extended

ment as to the situation or about his

headquarters in charge of Secretary
John Williams. who IL engaged In
pushing the scheme for financial aid.
He said that the strikers were getting
liberal contributions.
No plan of individual relief for the
men on strike has vet been announced
Apparently no action has been taken
with respect to the western lodges that
refused to go out
Rumors Of n settlement of the strike
are again being revived, but confirma-
tion of them from any source Is i'm
possible. 1t is related circumstantially
that the Amalgamated knows it cannot
win; that the United States Steel cor.
poration fears the loss of both skilled
