PITTSBURG GETTING
 THE WORST OF IT
GAZETTE EXPLAINS ALARMING SHORTAGE OF CARS BY THE FACT THAT PlTTSBURG IS BE- ING DISCRIMINATE AGAINST.

Pittsburg. August e.-The Gazette to- morrow will say:
 Discrimination against Pittsburg is a reason given by a number of coal com panies and industrial concerns for the alarming shortage of cars. This is held responsible for the enforced idleness of four thousand men employed by one company alone
 The Baltimore and Ohio seems to be the principal offender, while the Pennsylva- mia through the Southwest system or the Panhandle is using most of its surplus coal cars in West Virginia, and along the Norfolk and Western. The condi- tons in the Pittsburg district are worse than at any time last winter, and it Is prophesled that by September the short age of cars of all kinds and the conges- tion of freight will be so aggravated that most of the hard work will not relieve the situation.
 An official of the Pittsburg Coal com pany, the largest soft coal shipper in this district said that two-thirds of their miners on the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pan Handle are idle, throwing over twelve thousand men out of work.

Odessa Will Be Under Martial Law,
 However, for Ten Days.

London, August 1.-The Standards odessa correspondent. under date of Au- gust g. says that all the trades have now resumed work, that the strike is partly ended, but that the. city will be under martial law for at least another ten days,
 The strikers did not secure all they de- manded but in most cases were met with fair spirited compromises on the part of the employers
 According to the correspondent, the local Odessa papers on the day the dispatch was sent announced that the governor had issued a statement to the effect that he had summarily convicted seventy-one persons, and had sentenced them to three months imprisonment for disturbing pub lie order. The names given include many Jews and a few foreigners. The strike ended just in time to avert serious food riots. as the high price of provisions led to tominous popular threats to storm the bakeries and flour mills. There has been a few fatalities.

 A forerunner brought today the last news of the attacking squadron. they being sighted several hundred miles off shore on the evening of the fourth. At that time they were steamlng in an cas- terly direction.
