PITTSBURG, Pa., July 15.—Reports
received from all points connected with
the great strike of the steel workers
today Indicate that the members of the
Amalgamated Association had matters
well In hand and that the strike order
was generally obeyed.
Reports from various points where
the American Tin Plate Company, the
American Steel Hoop Company and
American "Sheet Steel Company are lo
cated told of the shutting down of the
plants. In many cases the plants had
been shut down by the first strike or
der, which affected the sheet steel ana
the steel hoop companies only. The
last order brought out all of the union
plants of the American Tin Plate Com
pany, with the single exception of the
new mill in Monessen, which is still
running. At the Amalgamated Associ
ation headquarters it is said that the
figures given out Saturday night re
garding the number of men who would
be actually idle in the mills of tho
three companies had been proven cor
rect. This number was placed at
74,000.
The strike, although one of the great
est that has been declared in recent
years, will affect Pittsburg but slightly.
Of the 74,000 men Idle, 2,600 are In Pitts
burg, BOO in Allegheny and 1,500 in Mc
Keesport.
President Shaffer has it in his power
to close many more Pittsburg mills, but
It Is not thought that he will do any
thing of a radical nature until he is
compelled to.
The American Steel Hoop Compa
ny’s supposedly non-union mill, known
as the Painter mill, in West Carson
street, was closed this morning in all
its branches. The tie-up at this mill
was said to have been a surprise to the
mill owners and officials In charge of
It. The other plnnt, known as the Lind
say & McCutcheon mill, In Allegheny,
was Bhut down completely In the pud
dling and bar mills. All the skilled
workmen refused to enter the mill this
morning, and the company did not
even operate the five furnaces. The fin
ishing department of the mill waa
working during the day, as the men
are not in the union, but it is claimed
by the worker^ that the employes In
that department will not go to work In
tho morning.
The American Steel Hoop Company’s
mill at Monessen was not closed today.
It has been non-union since Jt was
built two years ago, and the company-
says the men there will remain loyal.
The Amalgamated people would not
discuss the situation in that mill at
present.
Whllo the mills of the United States
Steel Corporation are Included In the
general conflict, the three companies
are the first attneked. What the next
move would be, the workers would not
say. It is announced tonight that the
circular letter, which was expected to
be sent out today, calling on tho men
In the mills of the American Steel
Company, tho National Steel Company
and the National Tube Company to
come out would not be Issued at pres
ent.
The most Interesting report to the
Amalgamated men today was the dis
patch from New York, which said that
a conference of the manufacturers was
to bo held in New York tomorrow, at
which Warner Arms, vice-president of
tho American Tin Plate Company, was
to present a detailed account of the
experiences of the committee that met
the Amalgamated Association in the
city last week. It was stated that the
question of ngaln extending the olive
branch to the strikers or of crushing
tho strike would bo discussed. Re
specting the strikers, from President
Shaffer down, they seem to bo looking
for some sort of settlement.
At tho district offices of the Ameri
can Sheet Steel Company a meeting of
managers was held today. It was a
closely guarded session and informa
tion was hard to secure. It was said,
however, that the reports from the
managers referred to the condition of
affairs In the non-union plants of th<
company. It wan claimed that the mei
in the Old Meadow mill In Scottdalo
would not go out.on strike. Tho Bcott-
dale Iron and steel mill is also working
and no sign- of a strike nro visible
there. The alleged attempt on the part
of the as.* >clation to bring over the
forces In the big Vandergrlft mills in
Vender grift. Pa., was not regarded ee-
rlou«’.y. though the company is watch
ing closely all such movements.
The 4.500 employes of rhe National
Tube Company at McKeesport were no
tified today of an advance in wages of
10 per cent. The men are not organ
ized, but the Amalgamated Association
was miking efforts to Induce them to
B Join the union. Several months ago
10 per cent, ad-
bears a resemblance- to the historical
Homestead strike In 1802, in that it is
not a question of wages, but of rec
ognition of the Amalgamated Associa
tion. Tho association insists upon
izing all the plants of the three
companies in question. The manufac
turers refuse to grant this demand and
nay that the Individual contracts with
workmen which are In force at a num
ber of the plants must stand.
The Painter and Lindsay and Mc
Cutcheon plants which the Amalga
mated Association today succeeded in
closing have been looked upon by tho
officials of the United States Steel Cor
poration as the strongholds of non-
unioninm In the hoop company.
The prompt action of President Shaf
fer In thus early forcing the lighting
and carrying it Into the enemy’s camp
was looked upon as evidence that the
Htrlke will be one of the most spirited
In Pittsburg's history.
TREASURER HOLLAND SAYS FINAN

STATES—SOURCES FROM YVHICII

NEW YORK, July 15.—Among the
passengers who arrived on board to
day's steamer from San Juan, Porto
Rico, was Jacob H. Hollander, treas
urer of the Island of Porto Rico. Mr.
'Hollander gave out the following state
ment concerning his work in Porto
Rico:
“The present financial condition of
Porto Rico compares favorably, I
think, with that of any state or terri
tory In the Union. The inland Is free
from all funded or floating indebted
ness, the burden of taxation upon lta
people Is los»s than upon the residents
•if any part of the United States, and
the insular treasury begins a new 11*-

SJ!^ r J- he J aml seen contingency. These are the con-
McCutcheon mills until the strike w
settled. He said that the Painter plant
wna pivotal with respect to the other
non-union plants of the steel hoop
company, and that the men elsewhero
had promised If the Painter plant would
Join the strike movement there would
be no trouble In organizing the remain
ing plants. He said there wa* no ques
tion that the men would respond, as
they have been anxious to join the gen
eral movement and were held In check
and kept at work by the direction of
the Amalgamated officials. *
President Shaffer said that the move
ment would be carried to other plants
not now . recognized by the combined
as under the wing of the association.
Mr. Shaffer said today that things
thus far bad gone Just about as he had
expected. The men he had found were
not only willing hut eager to go out.
He added: “In the rush we overlooked
one place and an Important place, too,
and this morning I got a telegram ask
ing what’s the matter with us? It’s a
tin mill,** said ho, but he refused to stay
where it was located.
In addition to the vory general and
in some Instances rather unexpected
compliances with the strike order, the
Amalgamated tonight has added two
more mills to its l!et, both of which
were el,aimed today by the companies
to be beyond the reach of organization.
When the William Clark Sons Co. mill
at Thirty-fifth street, which was op
erated all day by non-union men, came
to shift tonight none of the rkillcd
men reported for duty and the plant
had to close down.
Later the following was received con
cerning the mill considered by the
manufacturers unexceptlonally loyal:
“MONESSEN. Pa.—Tile Monessen

tho Amalgamated osaociaton. The del

o’clock this afternoon they had all tho
local men in the association, and left
this evening for Pittsburg, after ad*
vising the men to stnnd firm. The men
held a meeting tonight to elect officers
and name their lodge.
Tho conquest of these two plants is
considered by the association people
“l an instance of their strength.
YOUNGSTOWN, O., July 15.—The

LONDON, July 15.—There was con
siderable gossip In the city today con
cerning United States steel stocks and
rumors that London bankers had ta
ken a stnnd against them and wero
refusing loans on them. Denials of
the reports were made In some quar
ters, Including J. P. Morgan’s banking
houpe, but others said loans on these
stocks could be had only with great
difficulty and where the Individual
seeking tho loan had good personal
credit.
Lord Rothschild said to a representa
tive of tho Associated Press:
“There is no discrimination against
United States Steel Corporation or
other American stocks; it Is simply a
business matter that bankers do not
advance large amounts on any clans of
stocks alone. If a man cam© to me
and asked for 50,000 pounds on one lot
of stocks 1 would not give It to him.
I should require severul different lots
of yocurltles. The financial situation
icre, not excluding consols, depends
ntlrely upon the United States. If
you send'over good prices we will keep
vip, but if you are as persistent
sellers as you huve been today you
cannot expect London* to go on buying.
“The financial situation In Germany
is all right; everything, as I have said,
depends upon the United States. J. P.
Morgan ph.ced fifteen millions of steel
here; they have gone down considera
bly, and, therefore. It cannot be called
Mirpr'-sing it' the l,un.l<m market is
despondent, but there is no real anx
iety, hor likelihood of panic or things
of that sort.
“I expect the situation In the United
State**— tho drouth, bad crops nnd the
possible results of the strike—to be ex
aggerated. Settle year strike nnd nr-
rango your railroad difficulties and you
will find London as willing as ever to
support American securities.”
GOT THE NEWS IN GOTH AW.
NEW YORK. July 33.—'The Evening
Post says: Cables received by foreign
hanking houses in this city today said
that In London there was great diffi
culty In obtaining 1 loans on United
States Steel Corporation shares. One
of the' beat known foreign bankers in
the city sad:
"LofodOji banker** have never done
qulte-the name thing before. Their at
titude Is wholly new, I think, ho far as
American stocks are concerned. 8omo
time ago they declined to loan on min
ing shares, but under tho circumstances
that refusal did not amount to much.
It must he remembered, however, that
I^ondon has not the facility of New
York’s call loan system, and that
whatever funds are tied up at this set
tlement day must hold over tin- fort
night. For this reason they ure nat
urally disturbed at the strike news and
the apparent uncertainty of the situa
tion.
“Hut the discrimination—whatever it
la—may not last long. After the flurry
Is over and tho heavy drop in tho price
of steel pharos (part of which has been
already made go-id) Is over, affairs will
be adjusted. Again, London has had
her hands full all along without pro
viding a market for those foreign se
curities, ro that the hitch \h not un
natural. Then, too, London bonkers
never require a margin on loans, letting
the brokers hnve full vnlue of the col
lateral offered, so that when a ‘drop*
occurs around settlement day conse
quence* are always apt to be embar-
raaslng."

by the Ohio Democratic convention, W.'
Bryan criticises tho convention for
failure to reaffirm the Kansas City
platform and for what ho regards us
tho weakness of some of the planks It
did adopt. Mr. Bryan Insists that the
convention mode a mistake In muking
ulmBOlf an Issue, and says:
“Mr. Bryan Is not a candidate for
any office, and a mention ot him might
have been construed by some as an
indorsement of him for office. The vote
should have been upon the naked prop
osition to Indorso tho platform of last
year, nnd then no one could have ex
cused his abandonment of Democratic
principles by pleading his dislike for*
Mr. Bryan.”
Referring to tho platform, he con
tinues:
“The convention not only failed, but
refused, to Indorso or reaffirm tho
Kansas City platform, and from tho
niunner In which the gold element hna
rejoiced over tills feature of th« con-
entlon, one would suppose that the
inln object of tho convention wus not
o write a new platform, but to repu-
lato the one upon which tho last na-
lonal campaign was fought.
"The gold papers assume that the

This morning a committee waited on

an immediate answer, but a short time
later the officials gave out a statement
granting the advance.
When Precedent Shaffer was informed
of the granting of the advance to the
McKeesport tube workers he said:
“I anticipated such action on the part
of the manufacturers and have warned
our men to guard against being blind*-1
by Ruo-h dust-throwing methods. Tho
lube men in McKeesport are unorgan

“Is there likely to be a sympathetic

was asked.
“I don’t care to say anything about
that,” replied Mr. Mitchell. “The strike
of the steel workers has not yet as
sumed definite proportions. It cannot
be told how far-reaching It will be,
even within the order immediately af
fected. I would not care to say
whether or not the coal miner* will bo

thing has been considered.”
