THEIR IDENTITY UNKNOWN
Two Sailing Vessels Lost of clsvs-

Cleveland. July 25.-Two small sail
ing vessels laden with oil were COM

squall. 1t is believed all on board
went down. The identity OF the boats
is not known. The boats were about
three miles out when they went down.
AS the wind swept on them both yes.
sells keeled over, their sails disappear
ing under the water. Only one boat
came up. 1t wallowed around for q
few minutes and then sank from sight
again In the heavy sea.
Lives were imperiled and thousands
OF dollars damage done by the storm
In Cleveland. While the city was en-
veloped in almost total darkness for
fifteen minutes trees wNe uprooted,
small buildings blown dom and all
the loose and lighter structures along
the lake front and at the amusement
parks were blown from their places
and smashed to pieces. Lightning
struck numerous buildings.

WAR TO THE BITTER END
Steel Trust Will Not Compromise
Trouble on Iron Range.

New York, July 25.-The strike of
the workmen in the ore mines in the
Lake Superior fields is receiving the
serious attention of the officials OF
the United States Steel corporation.
William f. Corey, the president, has
the handling of the strike under his
supervision and his lieutenant, Thomas
r. Cole, president Of the Oliver Iron
Mining company, is on the lookout at
Duluth and Two Harbors. Announce
ment is made that the corporation will
stand out for what the officials con-
slider common justice in its fight with
the Western Federation of Miners.
The organization has outlawed itself,
the officers Of the corporation hold, in
disregarding the terms Of it's own res
olutions before they had been in the
hands of President Cole thirty-six
hours.
1t is stated that the programme
adopted is to fight without compro-
mise what Is termed the small per-
centage of men In the ore fields who
are actually members of the Western
fGQcrdIlOu. lie bleGl COTpOIdtioh
does not believe that the men have
any grievance and point to the fact
that only last January an increase OF
wages was voluntarily granted to the
men. Since then, 1t Is stated, there
has been no complaint from the men
and no trouble was anticipated until
the demands OF the committee were
received. The whole trouble has been
stirred up from the outside by pro-
fessional organizers, according to the
steel officials, who also say that less
than 10 per cent Of the men became
members OF the union.
Just what effect the strike will have
on the iron and steel situation the
trade has not yet figured out. The
company has large ore supplies for Its
present needs, but If the strike were
prolonged much embarrassment might
be caused after the closing down OF
navigation.

FAVORABLE TO MINERS.
Long Drawn Out Dispute Settled BY
Arbitration.

Pittsburg, July 25.-A long drawn
out dispute between the coal oper-
ators and the miners over the use OF
the Pate steam dump, labor saving
device, which threatened to close the
mines of the Pittsburg district with
general strike, has been settled favor
ably to the miners. Judge Jay J. Mil
Ter was selected as arbitrator and has
decided that the introduction Of the
Pate machine with the ratchet attach
ment Is violation Of the present
scale agreements, district and ma
tional.
The decision Of Judge Miller caused
rejoicing among the thousands OF
miners in the district. Operators de-
clare that the ratchet attachment
shall not be used during the existence
of the present scale.
