MORE TROUBLE
AT CAR PLANT
Strike Of Foreigners Re-
snned at McKees Rocks.
THREE THOUSAND ARE OUT

Declare Many Men Imported During
Recent Dispute Have Been Retained
as Bosses and the Company Is
Asked to Discharge Them-Much
Excitement Follows Walkout, but
No Demonstration Is Made.
! P1ttsburg, Sept Il A new strike
has been inaugurated at the Pressed
Steel Car company works at McKees
! Rocks by 5000 foreigners, who re-
FUSED to work unless the bosses and
sub-bosses of the plant were dis
charged. The American workers at
the plant are said not to be in sym
pathy with the movement. --.
Chairman G. A. Wise of the strikers
executive committee expressed the
belief that he would soon have the
situation we'll in hand. He is now at
work among the foreigners End ex-
poets an early adjustment of the trou-
BILE.
At the offices of the company it was
stated that no grievances had been
presented and nothing official was
known of the new movement.
The strike caused much excitement
In and about Schoenvi1le, but there
was no demonstration, aside from the
foreigners assembling about the gate.
Most of the American workmen
went to work as usual and no effort
was made to Interfere with them.
About forty deputy sheriffs are still
on duty at the works.
, Later several hundred Americans
quit. The absence of the foreigners,
they said, necessitated their coming
out. The main grievance, it is said,
is the employment of large number
of men imported during the late strike
In the capacity of bosses and sub
bosses. The men say that one of the
agreements by which the last trouble
was settled was that all of the i'm
ported men should be discharged.

RUDOLPH SPRECKELS QUITS

No Longer a Member of Frisco's Good
Government League.
San Francisco, Sept. i Rudolph
Spreckels has withdrawn from the
Good Government league, which was
formed for the purpose of elect1ng re-
formers to municipal offices. It was
organized as part Of the campaign
against graft. The withdrawal of
Spreckels was due to the action of
the league, which recently endorsed
DR.. T. B. Leland, the Democratic can
didate for mayor, and several others
on the Democratic ticket. Spreckels
thinks he sees in this action evidence
that Gavin McNab, the Democratic
boss, has secured control of the
league.

When he applied for the Swamp
Hollow school Nathan Thorpe was
barely seventeen years Old, but he
was large and strong for his age.
and having attended the academy for
nearly two terms, he considered him
