The winners. three to be chosen, are
Messrs. Bolton and Allen of the Citi-
zens' ticket, and MF. ". E. Brown, Of
the Greater Americus ticket.
The result was somewhat of q sur
prise to supporters of both clubs. the
friends of each expressing confidence
OF having elected their ticket as a
whole. Even after the polls closed
this opinion seemed unchanged, with
the supporters of the Citizens Club
decidedly the more confident.
The determined fight made by the
opposition upon Alderman Allen, the
staunch supporter of municipal own
ership, rendered his election more
gratifying to his friends.
The opinion, generally expressed,
last night was that the ticket chosen
was an excellent one and strong IA
every respect. All have seen service
i'll the council and are regarded az
strong men personally
The result was celebrated last night
by the boom of cannon crackers and
the exultant shouts of supporters of
all the successful candidates. For an
hour the din and noise was terrific as
the valiant fighters who had thronged
about the polls all day thus celebrated
the victory
That the election was an exceeding
ly close one is evidenced in the Off

Steel TRUST
ORGANIZERS ARE SENT INTO THE
PITTSBURG IRON FIELDS
WHERE STRIKE is IN
PROGRESS.

PITTSBURG, July 12.-The Ameri
can Federation of Labor has taken
up the fight against the United States
Steel Corporation and has sent organ
izers into the Pittsburg strike district
for the purpose of attacking territory
which for years has been exempt from
the work of organization officers OF
the Amalgmated Association. An
earnest effort will be made to reclaim
the territory which was lost by or.
ganized labor years ago to the steel
corporation, and if the statements of
the Amalgmated Association head are
to be believed. there is now good hope
for unionizing all the plants of the
steel corporation. Three federation
men reached Pittsburg Friday direct
from the federation of labor head
quarters at Washington and placed
themselves under President McArdie
of this district.
The expiration of the wage scale
and the refusal on the part of the
employers to resign has invalidated
this agreement and the Amalgmated
has sought and obtained assistance
from the federation of labor to union

The corporations attempt to start
at Newcastle with non-union men was
a failure.
A number of non-union men from
Baltimore were slipped through the
picket lines but the strikers got to
them before wheel was turned and
induced them to go back to Baltimore.
twenty extra policemen were sent to
Newcastle from Pittsburg and it is
thought a more determined effort to
start the mills be made.

The underpaid Factory Girl.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: A girl ar
rested by the police in raid on
bawdy house at Sioux City declared
she had been forced into life of
shame because of the pitifully small
wages she was receiving. She declared
the kind of life she was leading was
very offensive to her, but 1t had
seemed to her the only other alterna-
tive than starvation. She worked in
a factory, but declared she could not
make enough money to pay for her
board and room and washing and pro-
vide herself with decent clothes; she
claimed she was practically forced into
a life of shame. She also made the
sensational statement that nearly all
the girls from out of town who work
in that factory do as / have been
forced to do" And the sad thing is
that the police discovered no reason

Rev. Anna Howard Shaw says men
say that women must have nothing
but the home to think Of and she says
that is about all they do think of. But
when men give them milk to drink
that kills more babies than all the race
suicide imaginable. and such impure
water that there are epidemics OF ty-
phoid liver, it seems like time Tor
women to sit up and take notice. she
declares that the only reason women
want to have more to say in the man
agement of public affairs is for the
sake Of the home. They want their
babies and the babies of women poorer
than themselves to have good milk
and good food generally. and they
want civic conditions to be of the best.
Men are not so careful about these
things as women, she thinks, and the
result is that women want to vote to
help themselves.
