THE STEEL CAR STRIKE.
President Taft Takes a Hand i'm the
Pittsburg Trouble.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 6.-President
Taft has taken a hand in the strike
of the Pressed Steel Car Company's
employees at Schoenville. Through
District Attorney John Jordan he has
served motive upon the officials of the
company that they must either arbi-
trate with the striking workmen or
close the works.
This news became public today
through one of the officials of the car
company, who seemed much incensed
that the President should take such
a stand. After a conference it was
decided that the works will be closed
rather than take dictation from the
chief executive of the United States
In taking this stand President Taft
is following precedent established
by his predecessor, Mr.. Roosevelt,
during the memorable strike Of an
thracite coal miners.
Since Special Agent H. w. Hoag-
land was sent here to investigate the
strike conditions and incidentally to
look into the peonage charges. it has
been matter of much comment that
Attorney General George w. Wicker
sham seemed to be cognizant of very
little that was going on during the
examination of witnesses. 1t now
transpires that the reports of Agent
Hoagland have been sent direct to the
secretary to the President and thai
| Mr.. Taft has the directing power in
| the entire probe.
Not only has the President beer
kept informed as to the evidence pro
duced at the open examination, bu
he has had his own secret agent upo1
the ground, who has made confiden
tial reports to him. These reports ar
4 said to have not only upheld the peon
age charges, but have gone deeper in
to the matter, and when made publ
!, will prove beyond all doubt that tn
| imported workmen were urder-fed
: that they were hired under false pre-
lenses and that they were brow-beat
) en- by special policemen who had bee
l imported from Canada, and who, un
der the law of the United States, ha
absolutely no right to be sworn in a
special policemen.

'UPsETs PELLAGRA THEORY.
J. e. Heath Dies-Had Never Used
Corn Breadstuffs in Amy Form.

Wilmington, N. c., Sept. 81. E.
Heath, twenty-seven years old, a lead
ing young business man of Waxhaw
Union county, died in a hospital here
tonight of pellagra. Mr. Heath had
been i'll for a year or more and had
consulted eminent specialists num-
Ter Of times, travelling extensively for
the benefit of his health without i'm
provement.
Recently his case was diagnosed as
that of peIlagra and he was brought
to the hospital here for treatment by
DR.. Edward Jenner Wood, who has
made an exhaustive study if the dis
ease which manifested itself in the
case of the young man by discolora-
tions of the skin, soreness of the
mouth and accompanying nervous
arrangements. He was in the ad-
vanced stages of the disease upon his
arrival here and little hope was held
out from the first.
Mr.. Heath had never used corn
breadstuffs in any form and it is
claimed that the case strengthens the
theory that the disease is not tracea-
bic to that source unless corn is
used as an adulterant of wheat flour.
Young Mr.. Heath is survived by
three brothers, w. G. Heath, of Mon
roe, who was with him when he died !;

..He did with energy and enthusi-

real quality and secret of his life:
I live for those who love me

For the Heaven that smiles above me

For the wrongs that need resistance
For the future in the distance
