NOW IRON WORKERS
QUIT THEIR JOBS
A Big Fight Over Wage
Scale Is Inaugurated.
FIFTY THOUSAND WILL BE OUT
No Agreement Reached at Pitts
burg and Strike Orders Are
Issued as a Result.
The Joint conference committee of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers and the Ameri
can Sheet Steel Company, in session at
Pittsburg Saturday, was unable to
reach an agreement on the wage scale
for the ensuing year and adjourned fi
nally after a session of less tnan twen
ty minutes. ,
The Amalgamated Association offi
cials asked that the scale be signed for
all the union mills, and the manufac
turers presented a counter proposition
not only refusing to sign for all tha
union mills, but stipulating that two
plants that were included .ast year be
exempt from this scale this year. The
conference then broke up and Presi
dent Shaffer at once issued a strike
order. The strike wil! involve all the
union sheet mills in the country and
about twenty thousand skilled work-
men.
Monday morning President Shaffer
issued a second order calling out all
union employees of the various mills
Oi the American Steel Hoop Company,
known as the hoop trust. It is estima
ted that 15,000 men will be subject to
the call, which, in connection with the
big strike of the American Sheet Steel
Company, ordered by President Shaf
fer on Saturday, will affect 50,000 men.
President Shaffer said Sunday night:
“The impression that only the mills
of the American Sheet Steel Company
arc affected by the decision of Satur
day is a mistake. The workmen of all
mills in the American Steel Company
arc interested and will ue officially no
tified tomorrow morning that the scale
has not been signed and they will quit
work. To the well organized mills this
notice will not be necessary, as the
men will have watched the situation
carefully, but what is known as open
mills, where union men have been al
lowed to work side by side with the
non-union, is where we have to move.
Union men must walk out of these
open mills in the hoop trust.
“The open mills to be notified are
one at Hollidaysburg, Pa., three at
Pittsburg and one at Honessen. The
organized mills, which will close on
our call, are the upper and lower mills
at Youngstown, 0., Pomeroy, 0., Sha
ron, Pa.. Girard, Pa.. Warren,, Pa.,
Greenville, Pa. This. I believe, will
bring the number of men affected up
to 50,000.
“It is a matter of regret that the Is
sue has been forced, but it now looks
as though it will be a fight to the
death. The Amalgamated Association
is not unprepared for it. Wo have not
had a general strike for many years,
and in that time we have not been idle.
We have funds and will use them.
Right here I want to correct an im
| pression which has been given out
] tliat no benefits will be paid strikers
I until two months have elapsed. The
I Amalgamated Association will begin at
once to take care of its people.”
Mr. Shaffer concluded by saying:
“I will say now what I said to Mr.
Smith, general manager of the Sheet
Steel Company, in the conference. I
said if it is to be a strike we will make
it one to be remembered. The officials
now dealing with t:s have but little
idea of the extent to which this strike
will go once it is on.”
Mills Shutting Down.
In order to take Inventory, the mills
in Youngstown and in the Mahoning
valley of the Republic Iron and Steel
Company will close for two weeks.
The mills here and at other points in
the Mahoning and Sbennngo valleys,
which are ownea by the American
Steel Hoop Company, will remain idle
pending a settlement of the scale
question.

Party of Men and Boys at Chicago
Sought Refuge From Heat
In a Death Trap.
♦Crowded together in a little zinc
lined stanty under a north shore pier
of Lake Michigan ten boys and young
men and one old man met instant
death by lightning at Chicago Monday.
They had left their fish lines and
sought shelter from the fierce thunder
storm that deluged the northern part
of the city about 1 o’clock. Ten min
utes later their bodies lay w'ith twisted
and tangled limbs, “like a nest of
snakes,” as the men who found them
said. Twelve-year-old Willie Anderson
was uninjured, but he lay many long
minutes before he could be drawn out
from the heap of bodies.
The dead are all from the families
of comparatively poor people, and
comprised two men who wer- fishing
ami seeking relief from the heat of
the day, joined by a number of boys
who had come to wade and swim on
the beach.
There were thirteen men and boys
on the pier. They rushed for the only
available shelter and crowded them
selves in through the little trap door
in the top of the cabin until they w r ere
packed almost to a point of suffoca
tion. Then came the thunderbolt.
Percy Keane, a small boy watching
from the water station, thought he
heard a scream as the bolt struck.
Mindless of the storm, he rushed
across the beach. At the pier he
heard a cry: “Help! Get me out!”
He looked into the cabin, and in dis
may saw the twisted bodies. Young
Percy, crying, pulled at the dead men's
arms and legs to get them awav. He
saw Willie Anderson’s head and part
of his body, but he could not pull him
out, nor could he pull the heavy bodies
from on top of him. Then young Keane
telephoned to the police, who succeed
ed, after a great deal of difficulty, in
reviving young Anderson and recover
ing the dead bodies of the others.
ROADS TO CONSOLIDATE.
Newly Organized S. F. & YY. Seeks to
Increase Capital Stock.
A great consolidation of railroads
with a capital stock of $25,0ti0,000 has
been perfected of the roads in south
ern Georgia, northern Florida and
eastern Alabama.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway Company is the designation
of the new company, and the principal
stockholder in the new corporation is
said to be tne old Savannah, Florida
and Western Railway Company.
Application was filed in the secretary
of state's office at Atlanta Monday
morning to increase the capital stock
of the company .from its present capi
tal to 525,000,000. The cause assigned
in the application for this increase of
capital stock is said to be the absorb
tion of the followng roads: The
Charleston and Savannah, the Bruns
wick and Western, the Alabama Mid
land, the Silver Springs, Ocala and
Gulf and the Tampa and Thonotasosa.
It is said that this combination of
roads makes a complete link from

SCORES DROP DEAD
FROM TORRID RAYS
Fearful Fatality of Record
Smashing Heat Wave.
CROWDED CITIES LIKE FURNACE
Mortality List at New York Goes
Into the Hundreds—Other
Large Cities Suffer.
Monday was the hottest July Ist on
record at New York, at 3:10
p. m. the thermometer at the
weather office reached 98 degrees,
one degree hotter than Sunday.
The records show that on only
two days in the last thirty years has a
higher temperature been reached.
These were July 9, 1876, and July 3,
1898. On these days the thermometer
reached 99 degrees.
The suffering in the city, particu
larly in the crowded tenement house
district, was most intense. As the day
grew the deaths and prostrations in
creased, and, although provision was
made in all the hospitals for this
emergency, the authorities were
scarcely able to cope with the great
tax made on their resources.
Between 2 a. m. and midnight there
we re reported fifty-seven deaths and
141 prostrations in the boroughs of
Manhattan and Bronx. For the pre
vious twenty-four hours twenty-one
deaths and thirty-six prostrations had
been reported in Brooklyn.
If the heat was killing to mankind,
it was worse on the horses. They drop
ped right and left. At one time there
were eight dead horses lying on Broad
way between Twenty-third and Forty
second streets. There were fourteen
horses prostrated in the vicinity of
Madison Square alone.
The rush of the crowds to the parks
and to the nearby seashore resorts
Monday night was unprecedented in
the history of the city.
At 2 o’clock Tuesday morning the
death record for the twenty-four hours
ending at that time in Greater New
York was eighty-seven; the prostra
tions 183. For the previous five days,
covering the heated term, the total
deaths in the same territory were 136.
At Newark the mercury touched 100
at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon. This
was the maximum. The reported
deaths were fourteen in and about
Newark.
At Philadelphia.
Philadelphia and vicinity experienced
the highest temperature recorded in
that city Monday, the government
thermometer on the top of the post
office building, 170 feet from the street,
registering 102 degrees even. At
Cramp’s shipyard the prostrations
were so numerous that the 5,000 men
employed there were relieved from
further duty at noon. At Baldwin’s lo
comotive works, the Midvale Steel
Works and numerous other places,
scores of heat sufferers had to quit.
Reports from all sections of the state
show that the temperature was exceed
ingly high; in some places the record
w r as broken and in other places it was
equaled. Up to midnight fourteen
deaths were reported and upwards of
100 persons were treated at hospitals
for heat exhaustion.
Spell Broken at Cincinnati.
The spell of torrid heat which had
been in sway at Cincinnati during the
past week and which left death and
prostration in its wake was broken
Monday evening by a squall. The
storm came suddenly from the south
east. and for a time the wind blew at
a, rate of sixty miles an hour. This
was followed by a thunder shower, and
the thermometer dropped to 75. The
maximum temperature during the day
was 96 at the government station and
99 on the street. There were five
deaths from heat. This makes seven
teen deaths since the not spell began.
There were numerous prostrations
during the day and about twelve are
now at the city hospital in a serious
condition.
•
Fourteen Dead at Baltimore.
According to weather bureau re
ports Baltimore was the hottest city
in the United States Monday. The
weather bureau thermometer recorded
*0 degrees at 5 a. m., and from that
hour the mercury steadily mounted
upward until 102 was reached at noon.
Up to midnight fourteen deaths and
twenty-eight prostrations had been re
ported.
Five at Chicago.
Five persons dropped dead on the
streets in Chicago Monday from heat,
and fifteen others w T ere so badly over
come that they had to be removed to
hospitals. A number of prostrated are
in a serious condition and may die. At
noon the temperature in the w-eather
bureau in the Auditorium tower was 93
and on the streets over 100. A severe
thunder storm at 1 o’clock brought
relief and the mercury dropped 20 de
grees.

A GIGANTIC SURPLUS
Is Shown In Revenue Receipts F 0
i the Fiscal Year Ended
June 29th.
The comparative statement of th
government receipts and expenditure, .
for the fiscal year ended last Satur
oay wi;l show an excess of receip*.
over disbursements of approximate
S?C.Ot 0,000.
This is ~ !y r.bout $4,000,000 below
the estimate made by congress at the
beginning of the last session in n,
cember, 1900, at which time the seer! ’
tary estimated the receipts from cm
toms would be about $245,000,000 The"
receipts from internal revenue
were estimated last December at S3OO. ’
000,000, while the final figures will
show over $307,000,000. The receipts
from miscellaneous sources were esU
mated at §34,000,000. These will a i so
show a considerable increase.
The expenditures for the year will
be $7,000,000 in excess of the esti
mates. - During the fiscal year 1900 the
surplus revenues amounted to nearly
$24,000,000, while the surplus for the
present year will reach $76,000,000, and
possibly a still higher figure.
In view of the fact that the revenue
reduction bill passed at the last ses
solon of congress went into operation
Monday, treasury officials estimate
that the loss from this source will be
about $40,000,000. It is not expected,
however, that the net reduction from
this source will reach that amount, as
the officials look torward to a year of
even greater prosperity than the one
just closing. If this expectation is
realized the officials believe that the
revenues from internal sources alone
will be greater than $30,000,000 below
the figures of the present year. It is
also confidently expected that the re
ceipts from customs will materially
increase during the coming twelve
months, so that, notwithstanding the
reduction made in the last revenue
bill, the total receipts from all sources
may even reach or exceed those of
the fiscal year 1901.
