STEEL TRUST TO MA (
T. CUT>IN LAB0R,S WAGES

dofed, because last summer when the
trust appeared to have every available
plant running, it was idle: In October,
when the demand was all over, this
Cleveland mill was startled for the
first time in years. It il 11on-untion,
and there Is special wage scale, lower

Another little trick ofsthe trust: It
entered into little partnership with
its men. It said
I'VE are paying you big wages on
account OF the tariff, You know what
good thing the tariff is; it is giving
few OF you good wages when there
are millions of other men, just as good
as you, getting as much a day as you
set an hour. Now there isn't enough
work to keep you going; there is lot

oil packers for export, and they use
Welsh tin plate because the Govern
ment pays them back the duty when
they export the stuf.> Give US wage
concession of rs per cent and we will
capture this trade; we will put steel
into it at export prices, away below
What we would charge for the same
steel to a domestic consumer, and you
will be that much ahead.''
so the Workmen agreed. The trust
TOOK orders for ''rebate plate" as this
class or material lis called; and for a
Whl1e hlled them, in it's own mills. But
as soon as this grand plan Of making
big slash in wages this spring was
adopted and it became necessary to &C.
cumulate stocks, the trust had no time
tn fill these orders, and it has actually
turned around and bought tin plate
from Welsh mills to fill orders. Incl
dentally. the trust dumped lot Of
cheap steel in Wales, and depressed the
price of tin plate at Swansea, until II
had placed it's orders. Consequently
1t will make nice middleman's profit

Special to The Journal.
Madison Wis, May 10.-It looks now as
tho Governor La Toilette. will be renom-
mated, or that some one of his lieutenants
will be given the nomination. The gov
ernor will have a majority in the conven-
ton, but the opposition will have the
majority in the congressional representa-
tiore thus giving it the power to make the
platform and control the representation
to the national convention. The indi-
cations are that the governor will have
about 565 delegates to the oppositions 500,
There has been some talk of the oppo-
sition boiling the convention but it is
said there Is nothing to it. It has been
said too, that the governor would lead his
followers out. of the convention if he could
not control it, but that report has also
been discredited.
There will be several, contests If the
convention is close. which it is likely to
be, and both sides are prepared to put up
1 a vigorous fight along that line. Contests
will probably be made from Dane, Milwau-
kee. Dodge, Eau Claire and Ashland coun-
ties-the aggregate delegates from the
contesting, districts being enough to con-
troll the convention.
| Both sides are working the finest kind OF
politics, and the result is likely to be in
doubt until the nominations are made
IF the opposition frames a platform that
is Objectionable to the governor, the lat
ter may, and probably will, refuse to ac-
cept it and then a prolonged deadlock
may follow.

1t is the tendency of middle-aged and elderly

Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm

live to a ripe old age If the stomach liver,
kidneys and bowels are in good condition, you are

DIEIH DEFIES COURT AND
SHOOTS A POSSEMAN.
Tragedy in wisconsin Moods Over a
Dam and the Right to Collect Toll
on Logs--When Enjoined from In
terfering with the Drives, Dietz
Armed Himself and Defied the Law.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, May 10.-William
Elliott was fatally shot on the Thorn
apple river dam yesterday by j. F. DietZ,
who, heavily armed, has been guarding
the Chippewa Lumber companY's drive
the last two weeks against the encroach-
ment OF the company's representatives,
and in spite of an injunction issued by
the court against him.
Elliott accompanied Deputy Giblin to
the dam with a warrant for Dietz'S ar
rest, When they approached Dietz S
home, he rushed from ambush, ordered
the men to throw up their hands, and
then fired, wounding Elliott.
The news of the shooting was taken to
Sheriff Peterson, who organized posse
and directed it's members to take rDietz,
dead or alive. The posse is now securing
the woods.
Origin of the Trouble.
The dam in dispute was built in 1877
for the Daniel Shaw company, was sold
to the Chippewa Logging company in
1882, and was purchased by the Chippewa
Lumber company in 1901. Three special
charters have been issued licensing It's
operation. The Chippewa Lumber com
pany owns land on the south side OF the
dam, while Dietz owns land on the north
side. Two weeks ago the company sent
Thomas Sargent to interview DieCz re-
garding the drive. Dietz demanded ia
thru the dam in the last four years, and
fixed his price at between $4,000 and
$4,000. Refusing to be satisfied with a
smaller amount, he began to guard the
drive, and is charged with having fire.
quently shot at employees Of the company
who approached the dam.
Judge Parrish last week issued an in
junction restraining Dietz from interior
ing with the drive, Dietz refused to obey
Il do not care if President Roosevelt
issued the Injunction he said. and then
