The musical comedy THE Sparkler"
is proving very successful al the new
Davis Theater, McAllister street, near

and full of bright sayings giving the

act entitled Cheyenne" This Is given
with elaborate scenic effects, coupled
with songs and tableaux.

All the other defendants, including
Captain Decolongue, chief of Admiral
Rojestvensky's staff, and Captain Bar
anoff, commandant of the Bedovi, plead
ed not guilty.

There was sufficient money avail

LACK Of LABOR
IN IRON PLANTS
Men Inclined to Take
Life Easy During
Hot Months.
Frick Coke Company Is
Unable to Operate All
of Its Ovens.

NEW YORK, July 4.-The Iron Age
tomorrow will say:
with the coming of the dog days
a new element is perplexing the iron
and allied industries in their efforts
to meet the extraordinary demands of
consumers-and that is the scarcity of
labor. 1t seems TO be case of too
much holiday, the men being inclined
to insist on a period of rest and recre-
alton. In the Connellsville coke region
the lack of hands has made Ii impOs-
sible for the II. C. Frick Coke Com
pany TO operate more than 80 per cent
of its ovens and the leading interest is
now forced TO purchase coke in the
open market.
The rail makers have had another
busy week, the aggregate, nearly all
for 1907 delivery, amounting to close
to 10000 tons. The largest blocks are
for $1,000 tons to the Hartman lines,
of which close TO $4,000 tons go to the
Tennessee Company and about $1,000
tons to the Illinois Steel Company. 1t
is possible that Pueblo will receive ad-
ditional tonnage.
American rail makers are fgurin &
on 100000 tons of steel rails for ex-
port. contracts for the greater part of
which probably will have closed as soon
as delivery can be arrnng ged. In the
congested condition of the American
mills this is serious consideration.
Orders for the heavier classes of
finished material continue to roll in.
Among them we note $4,000 tons of
bridge work placed in Pittsburg, Chi
cago figuring on 5000 tons for a West
ern line for next year.
The failure of the independent sheet
and tin makers to arrange a scale with
the amalgamated association for the
coming year has caused the closing &
down of mills affected.
In the Eastern bar trade a strike
lafor an advance in wages has caused the
stoppage of work at six mills and af-
fects about 1900 men"

unless they can be pacified within the

that not a single vessel will be able
