waterworlxs committee in town at pres
ent, recently made visit to the plant.
He expresses the opinion that the water
furnished through the city mains is as
satisfactory as could be obtained and
that Superintendent Jesse Shaw's state

last Tuesday, was truthful account OF
the conditions at the waterworks sta

BUT TWO MILLS START
Out of Ten at Port Vue Owing
to a Strike.

Pittsburg, July IA strike at the
Port Vue Tin Plate works, which began
yesterday, is more serious than antici-
pated. Only two of the ten mills started
today. The strikers have stationed
pickets on the bridge to McKeesport and
are attempting to keep out all the men.
The trouble was precipitated by efforts
to unionize the plant. So far there has
been no serious outbreak, but, fearing
violence, Burgess William Baird, who
has been appealed to by the mill own
ers, will unless the strike is settled to-
day, ask the sheriff to send a force of
deputies to the scene.
Superintendent ]. E. Lock of the
mill, in an interview. said:
I'VE are willing to agree to the de-
mands of the men except that we will
not reinstate the two employees who
were discharged. Sunday night all of
the furnaces will be lighted and the men
invited to come back. If they do not, 1
have two crews from Cambridge, one
from Pittsburg, one from Martins Fer
~ and two from Cleveland on their way
here and we will operate this plant as

doubt the champion colored ball play
ers of Topeka. This was decided Thurs
day afternoon on the Washburn field

the third consecutive game the Bees
have taken from the Reds in the last

ter a pill for the Reds as it was on
Wednesday. They ran in two scores,
the same as on Wednesday, but the
best the Bees could do was four runs
which were two less than they made on
Wednesday.
Guinea" Robinson, the regular
catcher for the Bees, failed to appear
and Page took his place behind the
stick Anderson caught for the Bees
instead of Clark Rucker pitched for
the Reds yesterday and pitched a good
game too but to no avail. The Bees
were too much for them
