Politicians and newspaper men gather
ed in large numbers to make plans for
their respective delegations and jour-
nails, engaging quarters, reserving seats

tertainments for all who might be

dates, and the city's business men de-
clared that not one word should go

BIG SLASH IN WAGES.
Republic Steel Company Takes
Action that May Close Mills.


Action that May Close Mills.
The Republic Iron and Steel Company
in Pittsburg has served notice on its thou
sands of Amalgamated Association en-
ployes that unless they accept cut of
great proportions-said to be 33 1-3 per
cent-the union will be thrown out Of
all the mills, beginning July 1. The work
men, who were ready to accept cut of
20 per cent, have refused to agree to so
large cut, and the announcement is made
that the mills will close June 30, the ex-
piration of the scale year, and that when
they reopen the owners will deal with the
workmen as individuals, and not as union
men. Officers of the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION admit that efforts to arrange a
schedule with the Republic interests for
the ensuing year have failed, and that
they can not accept the great cut in
wages demanded. 1t is declared by the
workmen that the Republic sought only
to drive organized labor from the mills
entirely when the cut was proposed.

CT Stars and Stripes.
Americans in Panama have had cause
for heated protests recently, not on ac-
count of the Panama elections, but be-
cause of United States flag incident,
which called into action a portion of Pan
ama's army. A foreign commercial house
in Colon insulted the American flag, US
ing it to wash the windows of the estab-
lishment. Wayne O. Adams of the canal
zone, the story goes, witnessed the desc
Grafton of the Stars and Stripes, and en-
gagged in hard-fought battle for the pos
session of one of the flags which was be-
ing used to clean windows. He was pur-
sued by section of the army of Panama,
consisting of two policemen and lieu
tenant general, in full regalia. As a re-
suit of the disrespect shown the flag by
the commercial house in question the
canal zone from one end to the other is
hung with boycott signs and the offend
ers have found less expensive wash rags.

BY this method the delegates did not
know in advance where they would be
seated, and no favoritism was shown.
However, all seats are choice in the
Denver auditorium, thaEks to the splen-
did arrangements made. Alternates
were not allotted seats in any desig-
mated part of their section. They were
permitted to take seats at will. The
section for alternates was immediate
ly behind the delegates. Each ticket
for the general public entitled the hold
er to seat ia a certain section and
admission TO the convention hall
through a designated entrance This
system precluded mad rush of spec
tators for choice seats and enabled the
ushers to do their work without confu-
sion.
