sp.ctal to the EVENING NEWS.

Roosevelt, June 22.-With one
man shot in the right arm and two
others confined to their homes with
scalp wounds, is the toll of the strike
for the first day. Three hundred
employees of the William and Clark
factory, 500 from the Liebeg Works,
200 from the Benjamin Moore Whit
ing Company, and 200 from the Gold
schmidt Factory, making a total of
1900 on strike here today tying
up work and causing fear to tho
nearby residents. From all indica-
tions the employers will not give In
and long siege with trouble faces
the strikers.
Rioung This Morning.
This morning several riots were in
progress and Robert Hyer and John
Garbo, were hit over the head with
shoVels and rendered unconscious by
the blows. Last night a watchman
at the Goldschmidt Detinning Works
spied a foreigner climbing over the
fence at the works. After ordering
him to retreat the watchman opened
fire and a bullet wound in thes trk-
ers right aram. loosened his hold on
the fence and he fell backwards.
Other strikers ran to his assistance
and carried the wounded man back
into their ranks.
The worst demonstration on the
part of the strikers occurred this
morning, when large gang from the
Liebeg Works, armed with sticks,
rushed the plant of Williams and
Clark and forced about thirty labor
ers to quit. At first they objected
but when threats were made they
gave in and walked out.
Attack on Gate House.
At 10 o'clock this morning ten
men employed at Williams and
Clark's started to enter the gate
house. As the strikers spied them
they made a wild rush for the party
and brought them back into their

ROOSEVELT |NSTRUCTS FRIENDS
THAT HIS NAME MUST NOT Be
PRESENTED TO THE CONVENTION
Hat is Still in the RING Only Ii Is
Larger Ring, He Says--Is Sill
a Presidential Candidate.
EXPECT FIRST BALLOT FOR TAFT

anti-Roosevelt strength will be de-
livered solidly for Taft today.
Expect denomination of Taft.
That President Taft would be re-
nominated, his running mate elect
ed, following adoption of a compro-
mise platform in which concessions
would be made to the Progressives
and that the convention would ad-
iourn before midnight was the gen.
eral opinion of party leaders today.
To do this, however, the greatest
one-day program that has ever con-
fronted a national convention Will
have to be settled. The big party
leaders, Barnes, Root, Crane, Nc
Kinley and associates insisted that
the presidents strength through
the country has been gaining by
leaps and bounds during the last
forty-eight hours. They insist that
before November the party will be
united and claimed that Roosevelt's
new progressive party would win
away only a minority and that in
the progressive states the Democrats
would lose more to this new party
of Roosevelt's than they would.
They expressed the belief that the
cards have been stacked for either
Clark, Harmon or Underwood at
Baltimore, and that they would be
able to face the November struggle
with hopes of victory. The Taft
men have not deceived themselves
regarding the colonels ability and
the things they fear most Is visit
+ to the coliseum in person and stir
ring denunciation of their methods
| from the floor But the police ar
rangement will probably offset the
taking of possession of the coliseum
by the Roosevelt forces.
Resume Contested Cases.
When the convention met at 10
O'Clock the contested cases were re-
sumed, but there is little doubt but
that the few remaining contests will
be decided in Taft's favor. AS soon
as the credential report was COM
pleted and the final roll of the dele
gates made up the report of the
teommittee on temporary organiza-
ton was to be in order, recommend
ing that temporary organization be
made permanent. There was expect
ed to be a brief fight over the report
of the rules committee. With the
rules out of the way the platform
was expected to be taken up late
this afternoon. There was to be
minority as we'll as majority report
on this, but the minority report was
coming from the LaFollette men
and the Taft leaders expected to
limit the debate to twenty minutes
on a side.
After the platform the nomina-
tions were In order. President
Taft's name was to be presented by
Warren G. Harding, of Ohio. The
Roosevelt candidacy was not to be
brought before the convention, ac-

oUeCluf OU UHtteu fTeSS WVo.
Chicago, June 22:-At the final
conference Roosevelt instructed his
friends that his name must not be
presented to the convention. The
program was arranged, the carrying
out of which would, in the opinion
of the colonel's support, make clear
to the country the following facts:
That Roosevelt majority Great
ed by popular primaries had been
turned into Taft majority by
fraud.
That no man recognizing this
nomination at the hands of con-
yention thus controlled.
That Col. Roosevelt will serve
notice on the convention that he
will not accept nomination in
which the so-called tainted roll has
any part.
That Colonel Roosevelt is still a
candidate and will continue his
campaign from today to November
This outline was given to the Unit
ed Press by the cOlonePs chief ad
visors at the close of the ninth sec
ret conference of the chiefs.
"Hat Still in Ring
Roosevelt addressing a crowd at
the front of the Congress hotel,
said:
my hat is still in the ring, only
1t is a larger ring"
This is und derstood to refer to his
Independent candidacy. Two other
features of the Roosevelt program
for nominating today were that no
Roosevelt progressives will be q
candidate or accept a nomination of
vice president on the Taft ticket and
that no Roosevelt progressive will
vote or take part in the convention.
. An incident in the breaking up of
the regular party organization is the
announced resignation of national
committee members who are favor
able to Roosevelt. Senator Borah,
said he would no longer serve and
kellogg and Finn have both resign
ed. James r. Garfield denied the
report that the Taft people were
considering the dropping Of Taft
and nominating some progressive
satisfactory to the Taft forces, add
ing "The President heard what was
doing and cracked the whip over
the heads of his postmasters and
they got back into the road. The

elusive. This Is to be known as a
"One-Third of Century Sale" and
during this week this firm purposes
to offer to their friends and custo-
mers an array of special values in
every department that will COM
pletely eclipse all previous efforts.

gan with a few hundred dollars

ness.
These firms always maintained a
friendly relation TO each other,
their proprietors being Intimate

the original plan of adhCring strict
ly to the popular prices OF and

sibIe by the enormous purchasing
mower of this firm. Every new store
.opened meant increased purchasing

And, by the way il you've never seen a modern newspaper plant

The Stars new home in Bradford place. It's just one block south
of Market street and a half block west of Broad street. Don't be
bashful about walking right in. We're expecting visitors and our
guides will take you all ever the shop and explain every mystery
connected with the publishing of a live newspaper.
There's nothing hidden in the whole Star plant. Even If you
come only to the outside CT our building you'll be able to get a little
mixing into how things are done, for everything that happens in our
editorial room, composing room, press room and business Office can
be seen from the street. The Star is literally "Printed For and Before
