wages or hours. The strike arises out
Of factional fight between the two or.

decided to notify all builders that unless
the members of the amalgamated society
we're dismissed forthwith they would re-

time consented to dismiss the members
of the amalgamated society, 50 that unless

SATURDAY EVENING, SEPT. 10, 1908

A POLITICAL party, like an army, Is
often influenced by the actions of its
opponent and a wise course for either to
pursue is to do exactly what its opPon-
ent does not want it to do. 1t is as
plain as the mid day sun that the repub-
licans do not wish the democrats to NOM
mate Senator German for the presidency.
He is the man they most fear and for
good reasons, for they remember that he
was at the head Of the democratic party
when that party elected president
and that but for him, Mr.. Cleveland, al
though elected, would never have taken
his seat in the White House. They also
know Senator German to be an astute
politician, an able legislator, a wise
statesman and a born leader of men, and
that having the confidence of the people
in every walk Of life he would be the
most formidable candidate the democrats
could present. The republicans are
therefore using their utmost endeavor to
undermine Senator German and their
newspapers are constantly presenting
other names for democratic consideration,
but so far their efforts in this direction
have been in vain. The republicans
have given the democrats a cue and the
latter will take advantage Of the situa-
ton. Senator German is really the
only man in the race for the democratic
nomination and his strength is increas-
ing with the democratic party in the
same proportion as Mr.. Roosevelfs is
waning with the republicans.

A PANIC AT PITTSBURGH panic
occurred in the closing hours of
the Pittsburg Stock Exchange yes
terday, stocks having been offer
ed at any price that could be secured.
Not since the Pittsburg Exchange has
been in existence in its present form
mas there been such a large volume Of
business. In the five hours session al
most 20, 900 shares were sold at losses to
holders. Low records were established for
many stocks The stampede was caused
by continued liquidation of the past
lew days, brought about by urgent
call loans by the banks. During the day
an offer was made for the dividend on
10. 600 shares Of United States Steel COM.
mon at 20 cents. The inference was that
the buyer is confident the dividend on
common will not be passed on the next
quarter. The demand for steel has fallen
off to such an extent that prices have
been shaded in almost all steel products
except those protected by pools. 1t is
expected that billets will be reduced in
price The Steel Corporation is in favor
Ofclosing down plants rather than reduce

formal reply, which is merely to the
effect that ne got the communication.
1t is not probable that he will vouchsafe

Roosevelt will not accede to the demand
of the union by ordering the dismissal
