The faded sunfiower droops her faded

mise Agreement.

Butler, Pa, July 22.-Notwithstand-

more than one-fourth of the foreigners
employed at the Standard Steel Car
company's plant returned to work.
The men declared they had no definite
assurance of increased wages within
sixty or ninety days and gave as an
other reason the continued presence
of the state constabulary. They said
also that they did not understand the
agreement as ratified.
Rev. Father Beczewski OF the Polish
Catholic church, who was instrument
tai In persuading the strikers to agree
to the term of the company, is using
his influence to have the men return
20 work and says that he believes all
will be at their places within a day

WOOL DEALERS ARE BLAMED
Clothing Manufacturers Explain In
crease in Prices.

Washington, July 22.-Stung by the
upon them for announcing a 25 per
cent increase in the price of wooden
cloths, although the new tariff bill
does not increase the Dingley rates
on wool in any particular, delega-
tion representing 90 per cent of the
ready made clothing manufacturers of
the country called upon President
Taft at the White House to explain
their position. They declared that
the wool dealers have been forming a
combination during the past few years
and are now ready to advance the
price on that quality of wool used in
the cheaper grades of clothes. In
order to prevent this increase it was
asserted that reductions in the Ding
ley bill rates were necessary.
The trouble with the Dingley rates,
which are repeated in the present bill,
the manufacturers said, is that the
duties levied on the grade of wool
from which the poor mans clothes are
made are comparatively so much
greater than the duties upon the wool
used In the higher class of clothes as
to amount to a serious discrimination.
The delegation told the president that
unless a change could be made In the
wooden schedule, even at this late
day, a great storm of protest would
sweep the country as result of the

HOSTILITIES MAY

Relations Between Argentina
and Bolivia Severed.
SPIRIT OF WAR PREVAILS

Bolivians Present Monster Petition to
Government Declaring Unqualified
Support and Asking to Be Enrolled
In the Army-Argentina Angered
by Intentional Sights on Part of
Sister Republic.
La Paz, Bolivia, July 22.-Offic cial
circles now admit that a complete
rupture has occurred between Bolivia
and the Argentine Republic and that
cred between the two countries. The
recall of the Argentine minister, Se-
nor Fonseca, who has been stationed
here throughout the disorderly events
leading up to the present crisis, was
followed Immediately and Sdmost ST.
multaneously with the recall of the
Bolivian minister stationed at Buenos
Ayres. On the departure of the Bo-
livian minister from Argentine he has
been ordered 10 turn over the archives
to the American, Chilean or Brazilian
legation.
The rupture of diplomatic relations
was announced after extended official
conferences, at which efforts were
made to meet the aggressive attitude
assumed by Argentina and at the
same time allay the growing popular
agitation In Bolivia. The spirit of the
people was shown in monster peti.
tions asking to be enrolled in the
army, the petitioners asserting uncon-
ditional support to the government
cause In case of an armed conflict.
The feeling that hostilities may occur
is shown by the continued departure
of many Argentine and Bolivian resi-
dents.
The cause of Argentina breaking off
diplomatic relations, as stated here, Is
a circular issued by President Monies
to the provincial governors of Bolivia
referring in sighting and offensive
terms to the arbitration award recent
