1 GIGANTIC STRIKE ON
Confererc; cf Steal Trust People
and Iron Workers Fails.
i ORDER IS GIVEN TO WALK GUI
Doth Sides to the Controversy Issue
Statements—At Least 150,C00
Workers Will Bo Effected
By the Order
After a three days’ session in Pitta
burg, Pa., the conference between rep
resentatives of the American Sheet
Steel, American Steel Hoop Company
and American Tin Plate Company, sub
sldary companies of the United States
Steel Corporation, and the general ex
ecutive board of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
era, adjourned finally at 6 o’clock Sat
urday evening without reaching an
agreement. In less than an hour later
President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated
Association, had wired the following
order to all the Amalgamated lodges
in the tin plate, steel and hoop and
sheer steel mills of tho country:
“Notify your men that the mill is
on a strike and will not work on Mon
day, July 15th.”
For the present President Shaffer
says that nvly the three companies
named will be affected, but later all
the union men in the' Federal Steel
Company. National Steel Company and
the National Tube Company may bo
called out, if it shall be found ncces
cary to resort to extreme measures to
win the fight. At tho start, it is
claimed 45,000 skilled workmen, 30,000
unskilled men, and directly many thou
sand more will be affected.
Statement by Steel Trust.
After the adjournment of the con
ference the following statement was
given out by tho officials of the com
panies interested:
"The conferences between the Amal
gamated Association and Sheet, Koop
and Tin Plate Companies failed to
come to an agreement, because the
Amalgamated Association did not re
cede from its original position. The
manufacturers did not refuse their
rights to organize, but have got many
men in their mills not In the Amalga
mated Association who do not wish to
become association men and claimed
they must respect these men in then
wishes, as well as those who are mem
bers of the association. In order to
effect a compromise, the manufactur
ers offered lo sign for several mills
which have always in tne past been
out of the association. No compromise
was offered by the Amalgamated As
sociation. The American Tin Plate
Company has only one non-union mill.
The company required the privilege to
make a special scale for this mill and
sign the same. This was refused and
the company was given to understand
that men In all the tin mills would he
called out, even though the scale has
been signed for all the tin mills. The
privilege requested above would settle
all differences between the tin plate
company and the Amalgamated Asso
ciation.”
President Shaffer Talks.
The Amalgamated people are very
sanguine of success.
"The strike was not of our own seek
ing," said President Shaffer. “It was
forced upon us. We were not contend
ing for wages, but for principle, for
self-preservation. The tin and sheet
people will not he able to turn a single
wheel tomorrow'. We have onr forces
thoroughly organized and there will be
some surprises in store. I have not
heard today from a single lodge in an
swer to my strike order, but an answer
is not necessary. The order will he
promptly obeyeu by all our men. But
there will be no trouble. Labor organ
izations have changed. The Amalga
mated Association is not the associa
tion it was twenty years ago. not even
five years ago. The men are more
readily controlled; in fact, we have
our men under control."
President Shaffer could not give the
^ a ' ot f rn that ' vo,, ' d
,,Ue ’ h,lt e8timatfl1 ,r “' m from lh " le '
l ,ur,K f,om th * oth ‘ K enf ' raI offlcers
of t.he organization aa at h ast 150,000.
H was his intention to have the strike
as general as possible at the earliest
possible moment, so as to force a set
tlement of the dispute quickest.
A week will be required to reach all
the men that are to be ordered out. and
it will only he then that it would be
possible to tell how effective the strike
wou ] ( i |„. an ,j how complete its effect
rjn ,h e business of the country. As
soon as the mills shut down the ship
ment of raw material, of coal and coke
for the variouR planU wll j oeas( , )t ig
said. The depression in this respect is

rious results than the simple closing

Corporation,

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF PIERCE COUNTY.
BLACKSHEAR. GA., THURSDAY. JULY IS. H>01.
TUMBLED THROUGH A BRIDGE.
Loaded Freight Train Caused Collapse
of Structure and Ten Men Are
Killed Outright.
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock three
i cars of the east and local freight went
j through the Nickel Plate bridge at
Springfield, Pa. The train left Con
neaut, O., only a few minutes before
j j the accident in charge of Engineer
William Griffith, of Buffalo. The bridge
gang was at work on the bridge, and
I the ten men killed are mostly work
j men. A fill was being made at the
bridge and about twenty-five workmen
were about the structure.
The horrible affair occurred just af
ter passenger train No. 3 pulled
through. The local, after the passing
of tho passenger train pushed three
cars, heavily loaded, out on to the
structure to unload stone for the ma
sons working beneath on the large
stone foundations. The work of un
loading had barmy begun when, with
out any warning, the whole structure
bearing the three cars, filled with la
borers. fell with an awfui crash Into
the valley. Bo sudden was the affair
that only one man had a cffiance to
leap in time to save himself from in
jury.
The list of the dead includes Con
ductor Phil A. Moore, Buffalo; J. Sea
boss, workman, Cleveland; George
Swartz, workman, Springfield; Homer
Beckwith, foreman, Conneaut. Five
Italians, names unknown.
HARVEY SHORTAGE GROWS.
City cf Brunswick Now Claims Sum of
$43,000 t-rem Ex-Treasurer.
A big surprise has been sprung at
Brunswick, Ga., in the civil suit now
pending against former City Treasurer
Harvey, his property now being held
in trust by order of the court, and the
Fidelity and Casualty Company of Bal
timore, which was on his bond for sev
eral years.
Briefly stated, the city 1ms filed an
amendment to the original petition, in
which it is now alleged that the for
mer treasurer is short over $43,900 in
his accounts instead of twenty odd
thousand as the original petition
shows. Coming just at this juncture,
and in view of the many peculiar
phases connected with both the crimi
nal as well as the civil suits, the
amendment is destined to be produc
tive of more interest than the original
petition. Legal fighting over the
amendment will bring out some fine
points of law, as in it the city’* attor
neys seek to hold the bond company
for the entire shortage of $43,000 now
claimed, this responsibility being in
stated amounts of $15,000 per annum,
which was the amount of the treasur
er’s bond. The bond company claims
that their contracts read that they
must be notified six months after the
expiration of the year in which ar, al
leged shortage occurs, or in lieu of
such notice they are released from re
sponsibility for that year, and In this
particular suit they deny all liability
on the grounds that no such notice was
ever given.

TO WATERY GRAVES
Six Members of Happy Fxcursion
Party Swept Dow n by Waves.
BATHERS WASHED OUT TO SEA
Five Women and Girls and One Man
Were the Unfortunate Victims.
Trapped By the Incom
ing Tide.
A Savannah, Ga., special says: The
twelfth annual excursion of the He<
brew Gaemahl Hasad, commonly
known as the H. G. H„ had a tragic
ending Sunday, six members of the
party being drowned. The H. G. H. is
a popular society with the orthodox
Jews, chiefly from Russia and Poland,
being of a benevolent character. One
of Its features is au annual excursion
for the members and their families.
The excursion was to Daufuskle Is
land, twenty miles down the Savannah
river on the South Carolina side. The
beach at Daufuskle is a poor one, and
it has been largely given up as a re
sort. This accounts in part for the ac
cident.
’1 he day passed pleasantly enough
until between 3 and 4 o clock In the
afternoon, by which time tho excur
sionists were scattered all about the
island. A party of twelve or fourteen,
mostly women and children, decided
to go In bathing on the sea side of the
island. Between the shore and tho
deep water there is a wash or sluice,
then a shoal and then a fairly good
shelving beach. The tide was out when
the party noticed that the incoming
tide had covered the shoal and decid
ed to return. They were all right until
they reached the sluice, where the wa
ter was running like a mill race. Al
most the entire party was caught and
a struggle for life began. Some man
aged to get back on the shoal and a
few got across the danger spot, but
six—live women and girls and one
man—were caught by the tide and car
ried down. Their screams attracted
those on shore and the alarm was giv
en. There were no boats on that side,
and by the time word reached the oth
er side of u.e Islands and the boats
were gotten out It was too late.

THE “ONLY WISE SOLUTION”
Noted Mississippi Ex-Chief Justice De
livers Sensational Address en
the Race Problem.
At the Mtllsapa Normal school In
Jackson. Miss., ex-Chlef Justlco J. A.
P. Campbell, of the state supreme
court, anti one of Mississippi's most
distinguished citizens, delivered an ad
dress on the “Only Wise Solution of
the Race Problem," which has created
a tremendous sensation.
Judge Campbell in his address took
ultra ground. In the first, place he
boldly advocated the abolition of the
common school education for the ne
gro rate, ulalming toat It had done no
good whatever, and bad been produc
tive of much evil. The younger gener
ation had Imbibed just enough smat
tering of learning to render them ab
solutely worthless and to attract them
to the towns, where they became lost’
ers and criminal characters, danger
0118 to the community. The Immense
appropriations which are being spent
every year In the southern states for
the common school education of the
negro, lie says, are worse than wasted,
and are making more dangerous a
problem already complicated In Hie ex
treme.
"There can never he harmony be
tween the races In the south," declared
Judge Campbell emphatically, "until
there Is a universal recognition of the
known fact In nature that the Caucas
ian Is the superior of the negro race,
and will Insist on Its natural prece
dence and the authority which such su
periority gives within reasonable
bounds. Common school education for
the negro causes him to forget tills
fact, and leads to dangerous desires
and aspirations for social equality on
his part which c an never possibly be
realized. He becomes discontented,
dangerous, sullen and Intractable, lose
ing his sole claim to consideration,
which Ih that ordinarily he Is a good
worker.
"To refuse to make this common
school appropriation for negro educa
tion would require a change in our
state constitution, but., I am convinced,
would not ho obnoxious to any provls
loll of the federal constitution 111 fact,
the United States supreme court has
expressly decided that education Is a
gratuity and not a matter of right to
he demanded equally by the races.
"But, since there seems to he an
opinion In many quarters that wo owe
the negroes education, 1 would he In
favor of selecting a number of the best
specimens of the race and educating
them well at the expense of the slale,
as the government educates at West
Point. Theso could then be turned
loose as missionaries among the race.
They would he proud of their superior
position, superior education and grate
ful to the state which thus set them
shove their race, and would therefore
be (It, leaders and advisers for the race.
The same principle of fealty which
causes a West Pointer to adhere to
tho government would cause these
men set apart for this special purpose
to stand for the best, interests of the
state, and to give their race the wise
counsel which their superior education
and position would make fitting."
