STRIKERS
GET COMPANY
ULT|MA1UM
Especial to THE TrMEs)

East Chicago, Ind, April 27.-The
Republic Iron and Steel company has
issued its ultimatum to the strikers
whose walkout two weeks ago has now
resulted in the complete shutdown of
the big plant. The main point is this,
is that work will be resumed in the
mills next week in any event
The company according to one of
the leading officials, has decided 10
stand pat on its original proposition
which 1t made to the men a week be-
fore the strike began. This was that
the laborers would be paid according
to the scale adopted by the region, in
Guiding Gary and South Chicago
The same official is authority for the
statement that the mill will resume
operations next week.
IF they men are willing to return
to work at our terms, they will be TAX
en- back without question. II they con-
tfnue to hold out for the exorbitant
figures they have made in their formal
demand. we will simply have to import
help to man the plant"
The proposition is to raise the labor
ers from sixteen cents an hour to sew
enteen, which is the scale adopted by
the United States Steel corporation tt
take effect May l. Other help will ID
paid on the same basis, and that is
positively all the mill people will do
theE say.

the report was premature. While there
is every indication that the fnal dis
position of the Seamen interests will
end in merging of the South Shore
and the proposed Gary & Southern. as
Messrs. Seamen and Bicknell have bus
mess interests that are closely allied.
still those best informed do not think
that the purchase will be made at a

in all probability complete the road,

Gary officials with regard to the grant

the Carrie Nation act with the cash
register. but was prevented from do
ing so by the bartender and Martin
Bennett, brother of the proprietor. who
was standing nearby.
The man was a big burly looking
brute whom Bennett had allowed to
stay about the saloon because OF the
cold weather. He decided that night
that his constitution needed a stimu-
liant. and he proceeded to make a de-
mand for it The bartender told him
that the place was closed down. There
upon the man picked up the bottle and
hurled 1t through the plate glass mir
ror. After he had been prevented from
smashing the cash register he hurried
out the door.
The most peculiar phase of the whole
affair. however, is the fact that the sa 1
loon wrecker could not be arrested
and prosecuted The bar fixtures had
no right to be in the place when the
saloon did not haev a license, and
there is nothing to prevent some one
from breaking all the mirrors in the
city now in saloons should some wreck
ing crew take the notion.

tional 10 per cent for each child under
16 and 3 per cent for each year of serv-
ice of the deceased above s.
For some years the subsidiary COM
panies of the United States Steel Cor
poration have been making payments
to men injured and families of men
killed in practically all cases, without
regard to legal liability. These pay
ments have amounted to more than ST.
900 a year; but it is believed that
the plan now adopted will result in
additional benefits. 1t should be un-
derstood that these payments are for
relief and not as compensation. There
can be no real compensation for perma-
nent injuries, and the notion of com
pensation is necessarily based on le-
gal liability, which is entirely disre-
garded in this plan, as all men are to
receive the relief, even though there
be no legal liability to pay them any
thing, which is the case in at least rs
per cent of all works accidents.
Experience will perhaps lead to some
notifications of this plan, but 1t will be
in operation for one year, from May 1.
1910. and If it meets with success and
approval from the men and the public
it is hoped that similar and possibly
improved plans may be adopted in sue
ceeding years
1t is the corporations purpose by this
plan to treat employees fairly and gen.
erously, even under the most enlight-
ened view of an employers RESPONSE
bility.
The corporation also announces that
for the period first above referred to
there has been under consideration a
plan for the payment of pensions to
disabled or superannuated employees
adm it is expected that this will soon
be put into practical effect.-Iron Age

RECREATIONS
EMPIRES NEW BILL.

Clara Kcating. the mighty atom, was
easily the first choice of the first
nighters who went to the Empire
Theater TO see the four new perform
ers that opened there last night. She
reminded Honoluluans nightly OF
Tobia Claude, the little vaudeville
performer who made hit here earl
Ter in the year, While her songs do
not verge so near the risque as those
of TObia Claude, at least not to Amer
lean ears, she has way of convey
ing the impression that they do Just
the same. Clever little charmer of
the masculine rs she is, she wins the
approval Of the ladies in the audience
just because she secures the mems
admiration through simple little man
nerisms. She sings Il song or two and
does II dance in fast time. Last night
she invited some of the men to fiirt
with her and finally dared a soldier to
be "a sport and come up and shake
hands. One of them did, much to
the pleasure of his comrades. Two of
the Wills sing song and another
does a turn In blackface.

Death Of Mrs. c. E. Smith.

Mrs. Jessie Smith, wife of County
Attorney c. E. Smith, died at hel
home on Frederick street, in Hartford
Sunday evening about O'Clock, after
a lingering illness of lung trouble
superinduced by typhoid fever. Mrs
Smith was born near Point Pleasant
February 18th, 1880, and was the
daughter of DR.. A. V. Tatum and
Mrs. Matte Tichenor Tatum. Her
father was a very prominent physi-
clan, who was born in Logan county,
but came to Ohio county in his youth
and was known far and wide as a
young practitioner of splendid abil-
ity, but died in early manhood. His
widow, who afterward became the
wife of Esquire w. r. Render, of
Point Pleasant, survives him. Jessie
Tatum Smith was most lovely girl
and won the hearts of all who came
in contact with her in her youth.
She was married TO attorney G. Z.
Smith, November 4, 1903. The mar
riage was most happy one; no
couple ever displayed more genuine
devotion and they were in truth
sweethearts TO the end To the union
one little girl was born, about thir-
teen months ago, Martha Mary Smith,
which was the JOY and pride of the
M hO oil IN. fa ooin
especially in order that she might
rear her little girl. Everything that
medical skill and loving hands could
do could only stay the malady and
she passed peacefully away to the
great beyond where suffering and sor-
row cannot come. She was Of a, sun
ny, sweet disposition and was held in
high esteem by all her neighbors and
associates in Hartford. She had been
a member of the West Point Baptist
Church for fifteen years. The funeral
services were conducted at the home
by Revs. ]. w. liruner, of the Hart
ford Baptist Church and Virgil Elgin,
of the Methodist church, after which
the interment took place at lakewood,
in the midst Of a large concourse of
sorrowing relatives and friends.
Among the beautiful floral offer
ings was a star design from the East
ern Star Chapterof which Mrs. Smith
was member and also a wreath pre-
scented by the members of the Mac
cabee Tent of which Mr.. Smith is a
member.
The honorary pall-bearers were:
