STRIKE OF BLAST FURNACE WORK
ERs is PRACTICALLY CONFINED
TO MERCHANT FURNACES.
ANTHRACITE STRIKE is
NOT AFFECTING TRADE
No Steps Have Been Taken by the Mill
Owners to Settle the Trouble and It
viii Not Be Handled Collectively
Expected That Work Will Soon
Resume at Some Of the Furnaces.
lBY ASSOCIATED PRESS,

Cleveland, Ohio, June s.--The Iron
Trade Review says:
The strike of blast furnace workers in
the Mahoning and Chcnango valleys came
on June /. according to promise and is
practically confined to the merchant fur
naces. Sixteen furnaces are banked and
two others have taken this opportunity
to make repairs. The daily capacity Of
the ~ furnaces is about 1,ioo tons, or
eight per cent Of the total pig iron pro-
duction shown in the May statistics.
Two merchant furnaces in the Mahon-
ing valley are still in operation. As yet
the steel corporation furnaces in the val
leys are active, as is the Sharon Steel
companys stack at South Sharon, Pa
The strike has not affected the Pitts
burg district. The companies whose men
have gone out have taken no steps in the
matter, and there will be no collective
handling of the trouble. In few cases
10 per cent increase has been offered,
but not accepted.
The demand for eight hoir shifts can
not be met since the supply OF men is not
more than adequate under the ra-hour
regime. 1t is not likely that work will be
resumed at some Of the furnaces within
week at some advance.
In the Buffalo district 10 per cent adj
vance was given voluntarily last month,
and this may be the basis OF adjustment
i'll the valleys.
Shortens Output
The United States Steel corporation.
which has been receiving iron from more
than half the idle furnaces. will have ts
steel works output curtalcd by SO much,
and the strike will have its effect also in
shortenin gthe raw material supply of
other steel works as well as of mills and
foundres. Inc anthracite strike has had
10 serious effect upon the iron industry as
yet, though several Pennsylvania furnaces
have had to bank from time TO time be
cause coke shipments were not sufficient.
The pig iron sales of the week have
included 275,ooo tons OF Bessemer to va
rious independent steel companies. deliy-
cries running from OCTOBER 70 April /.
For the most part $40 at furnaces was
paid, but for some OF the iron $eo.so, and
as high as S4I.
The steel corporation is expected to buy
$1,000 tons Tor delivery in the second
quarter Of 1903, but the negotiations will
not be put through until the furnace strike
is over. Purchases OF Basic iron have
been made, Virginia basic being sold at
Sails. delivered in Pittsburg
The freight is $3.50.

London's Clocks.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


The people of London have been moved by
the lack Of uniformity in their public clocks
to ask for legislation on the subject. One
member of the county council. In bringing
the subject before that body. went so far as
to make test of thirty-five clocks which
are visible to the pedestrian between the
Mansion House and Victoria station
with the exception Of Big Ben and one
synchronized clock" he reports, "only one
clock-that Of the law courts-showed the
correct time during seven days obser-
vation; and Of the remaining thirty-two
some were wrong to the extent of as much
six minutes"
1t is argued that there Is no reason why
London. like all the chief American cities,
should not have synchroniZed clocks show
ing uniform time The value of the odd
minutes which are lost through Inaccurate
timepieces has been brought to notice by a
story in a little volume recently published,
A large firm required manager for one
of Its departments and appointed l. OF clock
for arrangement of terms with the selected
applicant. He arrived at 1905, to find a
dozen directors waiting. the chairman
watch in hand The chairman announced
that they could not engage subordinate
who had wasted an hour of his employers
time. And on the applicants deprecating
such eXaggeration, the chairman explained
that each director had wasted five minutes,
and that made an hour in ALL Multiplying
the mistaken minutes of London clocks by
the people who are deceived, some London
writers have figured out that something
like century Is wasted every week.

really left the question open. A little
thought, Influenced by the desperate condi-
ton of Porter's fortunes, might make Allis
amenable to what was evidently her best
interests, should she be approached from a
different quarter.
Crane had made the first move and met
checkmate. The second move would be
through AlliS' mother. He determined upon
that course. All his old cunning must nave
surely departed from him if he could not
win this girl. Fate was pa ckiag him up
most strenuously. Diablo had been cast
into his hands-thrust upon him by the
good fortune that so steadily befriended
him. He was not in the habit of attribut-
ing uniooked-for success to Providence, he
rarely went beyond fate for deity. In
mistakably. then, it was fate that had cast
the horoscope of his and Alis life together.
Never mind what means he nigh. use to
carry out this decree; once accomplished
he would more than make amends to the
girl.
utopian existence his wealth would make
possible for Allis. For the father he would
provide a racing stable that would bring
profit In place of disaster. Crane smiled
somewhat grimly as he thought that under
those changed circumstances even Allis
mother might be brought to condone her
husbands continuance in the nefarious pro-
fession.
If for no other reason than the great sue
cess he had made in the Brooklyn handicap
with Dablo his spirits were that evening
impossible of the reception of even a fore
snadowing of failure. A suppressed exhila-
ration rose tinted every projected scheme
He would win Allis and he would win the
Brooklyn Derby with his good colt, the
Dutchman
He went to sleep in this happy glamor of
assured success. and, by the inevitable con-
trariness of things. dreamed that he was
falling over steep precipice on the Dutch
mans back. and tint a the bottom Morti-

earrestness. that il Lucretia could have
beat all the others but Diablo, she has a
rosy chance for the Derby; that's what 1t
means. The Black got away with flynn
start and she wore him down, almost peat
him; l doubt If the Dutchman could do that
much. She was giyin' him a little weight,
too.
Well, we CAM help it. I've backed the
Dutchman to win a small fortune, and I'm
going to stand by it. You're in it to the
extent of ten thousand, as you know, and
We've just got to try and beat her with our
colt, that's all there is to it,
Il don't like it," muttered Iangdon, sur
lily. She's mighty good three-year-old
to put up race like that"
She may go off before Derby day., sug-
gested Crane Mares are uncertain at this
time of year.
That's just tiff she would go off we'd
feel pretty sure then. I think the race Is
between them"
l. well, We'll know race day. If she goes
to the post, judging from what you say.
it'll be pretty tight fit"
She didn't cut much figure last year
when Lausanne beat her" Langdon said
this with drawing significance; it was a
direct intimation that if Lucretia's present
jockey could be got at, as her last year 8
rider had been, well, an important rival
would be removed.
Crane had not been responsible for the
prlnlns OF I-ucretla' s jockey, though ne was
well aware what had occurred. had even
profited by it.
''There'll be no crooked work this time"
he said. Nobody will interfere with the
mares rider, 1 hope" and he looked sig
nificantly at Langdon
Il don't think they WILL" and the trainer
gave a disagreeable laugh. From what

Right you are. Dick But you could

Il was thinkin' Of that" said Langdon, re-
nectively; Il was wonderin' If that's what
the boss meant .
Sure thing-that's his way: he never
wants to stand in for none of the blame
but he likes to feel sure that he's going to

Crane drew from the inner pocket of his
coat leather case, and after a search
found Shandy's unsigned letter and passed
1t over to the trainer.
It's dollars to doughnuts Shandy wrote
1t. Let me keep this, SIR
You're welcome to it, answered Crane.
You can settle with him. But about the
Derby. l have reasons for wishing to win
that race, reasons other than the money.
l want to win 1t, bad. Do you understand"
II think l do. When you say you want
to win race, you generally want to win
it."
Yes, I do. But see here, Langdon just
leave their jockey to take orders from his
own master, see?"
II wasn't goin' to put up no game with
him, SIR
"Of course not, of course not It wouldn't

leave him to ride the best he knows how
We've got better jockey in Wesley. Be-

ripe for any deviltry You can't tell but
what he might get at the Dutchman If
somebody paid him. If I'm any judge Of
outlawed human nature he'd do it. I've

Of business, but shall be back again in a

man-but I needn't tell you that, of course"
