Appeal Is Made Shaving How
 Miners Arj Tr5ated
FIGHTING FOR THEIR RIGHTS
Reply of Strikers Gives Detailed h. formation on Wages Which Shows How Little Some
 Miners Make.

Pittsburg, July 17-(SpeciaD - The striking employees of the Pressed Steel Car company this evening issued through William B. Remay and K. Nagy commit teemen, the following reply to the state ment made by President Frank N. Hoff- stott of the car company that there wat no strike and there was nothing to ar bitrate:
 ITO the Citizens and Workingmen of Pennsylvania: Public opinion is not sufficiently in- formed of the situation and according to the statement of the directors of the 1ressed Steel Car company no strike exists at McKees Rocks
 This statement is an untruth. We i have complained numerous timese but our complaints have never been listened to and after our final complaint last Monday we received the answer, Your services are no longer required and We have been driven out of the works.
 ITO give you an idea of the injustice done to us we hereby give you an ex- ample of the wages that have been paid to some of the workers in this plant: Check No. 723 received for 10 hours work $510.
 Check No, 74l3 received for 130 hours work $l490.
 Check No. 154 received for 120 hours work Sl3.85.
 Check No. 7212 received for 120 hours work $l7.75 Cheek No. 3125 received for 140 hours work $21.75
 Check No. 5106 received for 40 hours work $4.15. Check No. 301S received for 130 hours work $1S.40.
 Check No. 7219 received for 130 hours work $17.70.
 Check No. 64s6 received for 13o hours work $16.75.
 Check No. O,7S9 received for 1855 hours work $22. .50
 Check No. 5O64 received for 90 hours work S11. 30.
 "Check No. So14 received for 45 hours work 90c.
 'Is it possible to live on such wages in a decent manner and provide for a family?
 Under the present conditions this is impossible and if any person can show us how a man and family can exist on such wages, we are willing to obey all the rules of the company and return to work The methods of paying scandalous and every one who is familiar with the proceedings feels only contempt for the men who direct the affairs of the com pany.
 we shall fight to finish as it is our right.
 We shall not make concessions and fear no threats of the company. We promise that during this fight between labor and capital we shall conduct our selves peacefully and we beg all the work ingmen and citizens to help us in our fight for victory
 Help the workers in this struggle, for this Is not a fight only for ourselves, but also to save our wives and children from starvation. THE STRIKERS"

HOW TT CAME ABOUT.

To bring this whole matter before
the public eye at onc let it be noted
that Senator Tillman some time ago
urged that certain land grants in
Oregon had been forfeited by lack of
compliance with terms of the grant
and urge that they be sold. Before
looking into the matter he concluded
to make an investment himself. When
certain Investigations were being
made by the secret service men this
was discovered. In the late troubles
between the President and Congress
about the secret service appropria-
tions which the President wanted re-
stored to former suficiency and the
charges by Congress that the secret
service department was becoming Of
fensively active, the President used
strong language which Congress
looked upon as reflections on that
body and demanded of the President
instances to Justify his language.
While ~disavowing any intention Of
discourtesy he complied so far as to
give names that furnished the basis
Of his language. Thus the cast of
Senator Tillman became a part of
the justification of the President.
1t seems that the Senator's case
was stumbled upon while making cell
tain other Investigations. 1t is also
stated that certain parties who were
offended with Senator TiIlman's
urging the sale of this Oregon land
resorted to this method of revenge to
put the President in possession of the
facts of Senator Tillman's purpose to
acquire some Of this land.
To add to the complication Post
master Rarns has sent Senator TIE
man a bill Of $1,000 for postage for
a typewriter that the Senator had
franked from Trenton, S. c., to WASH
ington. it being claimed that he had
no right to send it under the frank
ing privilege. The Senator refuses
TO pay the bill on the ground that if
is the governments typewriter, that
he was using in the interest of the
public and that it was the custom so
to do, he having never heard of any
rule promulgated against it.
Had it been his W private affair
he would have expressed or freighted
it. Senator Tillman has been accredit-
ed with rigid honesty as is President
Roosevelt, the former fiery to the term
Of "pitchfork'' and the latter impul-
sive to an unusual degree. Withal
he public will most probably pass no
Judgment until further developments.

Speaker declared that "the noes
seemed to have it" Thereupon a
division was called and straigtway
ffty-nine members stood up as against
recall to t~hirty-nine for recall. Later
the committee reported unfayorably
upon the bill. The force of the argu-
ment was that even if it passed now
it could not be available for this term

airy, which seems to be implied by the

mate beginning of official term.
