HE DEFENDS his POSITION
MAYOR OF M'KEEsPoRT is WITH
THE STRIKERS.
He Believes that the Trust Would Gain
Little by the Removal OF the
DeWees-Wood Mill.

Pittsburg. Pa, August 10.-President
shafrcr went TO McKeesport from Newcas-
tie and tonight addressed a big mass meet
ing.
Mayor Black Of McKeesport Issued
formal statement tonight defending his at
tItude toward the United States Steel cor
poratiou He said The assertion OF the
United states Steel corporation that IL viii

or may not mean what appears on the sur
face In the twenty years or more that
have been resident of this city ] have
heard similar threats, the motive Of which
we have no further desire TO seek than
those which actunte the present situation.
The reason the trust gives for the removal
Is that the mayor and people Of McKees-
mort are hostile to the trust; in other
words, because the people Of the city and
the chief executive favor the oppressed
against the oppressor. Because their sym
pathles are with the downtrodden and
against these who seek 10 enrich them
selves by iil.requited toll the trust will
seek some other fields Where in all the
broad expanse OF the great Union can the
United States Steel corporation find the
place where the sympathies of the people
Will not ever be with those who groan IN
der the oppressor2 Where In all the wide
world can they go where they can escape
the memorable punishment Of infnltude
melted out TO injustice? What boots 1t
that the place of oppression means DIFF
ferent name II the oppression goes on?
ut was said many centuries ago that he
who wishes justice must do justice, and
the same is now an axiom Of equity, az
surely and forcihly as when nrst enunci-
ated. Let the trust treat It's men as they
should DE treated and II viii not be neces-

Talk OF the removal OF the mill Is an old
story, stale and embarrassing because OF
too frequent repetition.
Where In all the land can the trust get
better treatment than Ia the municipality
OF McKeesport9 Take, for instance, the
matter OF taxes. THE trust mills here to
day pay taxes on assessment valuations OF
a tribe over per cent Of their real value
ON the other hand, the Iaborilg man who
owns his home is taxed TO three-quarterl
OF the real value Of his home. Were the

1t is Asserted that it Never Stops

The systematic examination Of more
than 10000 pairs Of human ears in Eng

teresting conclusions. For one thing, it
is ascertained that the ear continues to

points about them that are instructive,
their shapes being markedly persistent
through heredity. An ear will be hand

ways, but these telltale features will
