[RON WORKERS OUT
!
No Agreement Reached on Wage
Scale For Ensuing Year.
FIFTY THOUSAND ARE AFFECTED
President of Amalgamated Association
Warns Companies That Con
flict Will Be Memora
ble One.
The Joint conference committee of
tho 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
tor the ensuing year and adjourned fi
nally after a session of less tnaa twen
ty minutes.
The Amalgamated Association offl
'dals 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 the
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
nrder. The strike will 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
.ii 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
are affected by the decision of Satur
day Is a mistake. The workmen of all
mills in the American Steel Company
are interested and will oe 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 he necessary, as the
men will have watched the situation
carefully, hut 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, O., Pomeroy, O., 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. We 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
that no benefits will be paid strikers
until two months have elapsed. The
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 tho conference. I
said if it is to be a strike we will make
it one to he remembered. The officials
now dealing with us 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 Shenango valleys,
which are owned by the American i
Steel Hoop Company, will remain Idle
pending a settlement of the seals
question.

LONG STRUGGLE PROBABLE.
Though Quiet Reigna In Coal Fields,
Both Sides Are Determined.
Quiet prevailed Friday In the Thaek
er-Matewan coal fields, where 2,000
miners are on strike for recognition of I
the union. Though there has been con
stant dread of hostilities between the
vtrlkers and the guards on duty at the
collieries, nothing of the sort appears
probable, as both sides have apparent

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF PIERCE COUNTY.
GA., THURSDAY. JULY 4. 1901.
JUDGE DECLARES A DIVIDEND.
Shareholders of Southern Mutual to
Receive Ten Per Cent on Stock
August 1st.
In an order Issued at Atlanta. Ga.,
Friday morning Judge J. H. Lumpkin
declared a 10 per cent dividend to be
paid to the stockholders of tho South
ern Mutual Building and Loan Assocla
tion. The payment Is to begin August
1st of th# present year, and the
amount in the hands of the receivers,
including the assets, and the amounts
afterwards received, are to he distrib
uted pro rata among the stockholders
according to the amounts standing to
their credit.
The order specifies that the non-bor
rowing shareholders are to receive
payment in cash and the borrowing
stockholders are to receive a credit
of 10 per cent upon such part of the
stock as is still neld by them.
The order states that the receivers.
Judge James A. Anderson ana M. A.
O’Byrne, now have sufficient funds on
hand to declare a 10 per cent dividend.
The payment is to be made on presen
tation of the certificate of stock. The
receivers are authorized to make pay
ment or to credit the dividend in cases
of the loss or destruction of the certifi
cates, provided satisfactory proof is
presented.
Judge Lumpkin also overruled all of
the exceptions to the auditor's report
made by the advanoed or borrowing
members. He rendered judgment, in fa
vor of the receivers against all ad
vanced borrowing or stockholders or
members of the association for the
amounts found due by eRch liy the au
ditor; not only a general hut special
judgment in each instance. The equi
ty of redemption of each of the borrow
ers In and to the property deed, mold
gaged or transferred to secure an ad
vanoe is foreclosed and forever barred.
Judgment is also rendered against
the advanced or borrowing members
for $20, the equitable taxation of cost
against them to date. The exceptions
filed by the stockholders, claiming
to have given notice of withdrawal, are
ovorruled. Under the order they rank
with the other stockholders and do
not become creditors. It is adjudged
that each party pay the cost of his ow-n
Intervention.
Judge Lumpkin sustained the excep
tions filed by the stockholders holding
certificates, whether paid up or not.
guaranteeing dividends, to the effect
that they were in the nature of credi

distribution of the assets.

OUR PLETHORIC TREASURY.
Qovernment Surplus For Past Fiscal

of Seventy-six Millions.
The comparative statement of the

*TC.c»y,oo.>.
Tl.is is ( 1 iy about $4,000,000 below
the estimate made by congress at the
beginnlug of the last session In De

tary estimated the receipts from cus
toms would bo about $245,000,000. Tho
receipts from internal revenue sources
were estimated last December at $300.
000.000, while the final figures will
show over $307,000,000. The receipts
from miscellaneous sources were esti
mated at $34,000,000. These will also
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 tho
surplus revenues amounted to nearly
$24,000,000, while the surplus for tho
present year will reach $7G,000,000, and
possibly a still higher figure.
view of the fact that the revenue
reduction bill passed at the last ses
soion 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, tho net reduction from
this source will reach that amount, as
the officials look forward to a yenr 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
eelpts from customs will materially
Increase during the coming twelve
months, so that, notwithstanding the
redurtlon made In the last revenue
bill, the total receipts front all sources
may even reach or exceed those of
the fiscal yoar 1901.

Fearful Work of Heat Wave In
Crowded Cities of the North.
VICTIMS DROP ON EVERY HAND

Wiped Out.
Monday was the hottest July 1st on

These were July 9, 1870, and July 3,
1898. On these days the thermometer
reached 99 degrees.
Tho suffering in the city, particu
larly in tho 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
were reported fifty-seven deaths and
14] prostrations in the boroughs of
Manhattan and Bronx, l-’or 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 Sipiarc 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 live days,
covering the heated term, the total

At Newark tile 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.
(■rump’s shipyard the prostrations
were so mum rolls Hint the 5,000 men
employed there were relieved from
further duty at noon. At Baldwin’s lo
comotive works, Ike Midvale Steel
Works and numorous other places,
scores of heat sufferers had to quit,
lteports from all rectlons of the state
show that the temperature was exceed
ingly high; In some places the record
was broken and In other places II wiih
equaled. Up to midnight fourteen
deaths were reported and upwards of
100 persons were tn-ateo 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 <ame 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 lo 75. The
maximum temperature during the day
was 96 at. the government station and
99 on the street. There were live
deaths from heat. This makes seven
teen dialhs since the Hot spell began.
