Situation at Various Points Senator lian na Not Yet .ollued tlmt 111 Mediation Is Desired. PITTSBURG. July CG. The National Tube Works Company, at McKeesport, ha a made an unexpected move, intended to Checkmate the Amalgamated Association. Their skllkd workmen have bet n asked to sign Individual contracts to practically repudiate any union labor, and they have been given but a short time to think the matter over. It id understood that should they not sign the contracts they will find their positions vacant, and the ax Is exacted to fall to-morrow. It became known to-day that on Thursday evening the GOO welders of the mills Were paid off and taken into the office of the general superintendent, where they were presented with Individual contracts to bo signed for at least a year. Some demurred while others signed the contracts. This movement, fighting Are with fire, carried consternation into the ranks of the strikers. The welders are highly skilled workmen .and with their co-operation the biff plant might be closed down. With them In line the plant probably will keep on running as though nothing had happened. It was Intimated to-night by friends of the welders that all would sign the contracts. Definite announcement that the oillcials Of the American Sheet Steel Company would start the W. De Wees Wood mill, in McKeesport, as a nonunion plant on .Monday reached the headquarters of the Amalgamated Association early to-day. The news was received In silence. That the movement would not be permitted to be made without a decided attempt to check It was subsequently shown by long and earnest conferences that took place during the afternoon. President Shaffer was closely confined to his private office, and there was a constant, stream of visitors calling on him, who were shown In as soon as possible. These visitors were mostly mill workers, and a number were recognized as McKeesport residents. The door to the conference room was kept closed, and no one was allowed to get within hearing distance of the place. While the rank and file of the strikers are not acquainted with the plans of the campaign, they now believe that there are tome Important develoi-tnents to take place which will change the aspect of affairs considerably. There is apparently less of the confidence that was nottd in the first part of the week, but there was a lot of determination expressed by the men who consented to talk at all. The report that an attempt would be made ?oon to start the Demier plant of the American Tin Plate Company was scouted by the Amalgamated officials. It is said there was little cause for worry over the tin mills situation. In addition to this denial, was one from Manager Percy Denner. who was alleged to have been attending a conference in the Dernier plant on Thursday night with mill managers and discussing the plans for getting the mill started. NOT A LONG STRIKE. Prom tho officers of the manufacturers that the situation was unchanged, that the roufacturers had made no overtures for &fettlement of the strike, and did not tend to do so. as rar as was known local ly. Manufacturers not Interested directly In the strike think the strike is not affecting the United States Steel Corporation as seriously as was expected by the Amalgamated Association. The feeling of the leading officials of the trust is that the strike will not las: long after summer ends. If the officials of the United States Steel Corporation seriously believed that the ltrlke was going to be a Ions one they would undoubtedly have made some orfanized movement for breaking the strike efore now, and this they have not done. When the season for outdoor sports and amusements Is over the steel corporation officials think they can talk to the strikers with some reasonable show of success. There are some, however, who believe the contest will be one of the longest and most bitter ever seen In this country. A telegram from Wheeling to-night pays: 'Interesting developments are nearing the'.r climax at the great Riverside tube works of the .National Tube Company, in Upper Pen wood. For several days organizers of the Amalgamated Association have been ciuletly at work there, and are said to have met with success. To-morrow evening, at their hall In South Wheeling, a meeting of the Amalgamated lodge, made up of some of the men In the Riverside plate mill, will be. held, when the men whom the organizers have Induced to Join will be taken In. As to how many recruits the organizers have secured no information can be obtained in advance of Saturday. The Amalgamated lodge at the Riverside works is made up of about half the force employed In the plate mill department. The loJge has never been strong enough to enforce the acceptance of the Amalgamated scale upon the company. "If the National Tube Company's men are called out. as it has been intimated they soon will be. the Riverside will become the storm center of the strike, for there is no doubt of the Intention of the company to combat the union here just as it has fought It at the MeKeesport plant. It Is alleged that at least one Amalgamated organizer was ejected from the mill premises this week. "Manager Wiles, it is said, has talked with some of his men and asket them to decline to Join the union. President Frank J. Ileame, of the National Tube Company, formerly manager of this plant, was here this week for the same purpose, it Is claimed." OTiinrt possibilities. Late reports from WellsviUo say there Is no change there. Up to midnUht the injunction stories from Lisbon, O., have not been confirmed. The following radical statement comes from Mingo Junction, O., to-night: "Dr. W. J. O'Connell. mayor of this town, said to-day: I am with the Amalgamated men in this fight to the end. with my head, my heart, my muscle and my money. If It ever comes to the point in this town, the municipal officers will not stop the Amalgamated men from doing picket or any other legal acts to keep Mien Irom coming in here and takln? their places.' " Monessen r-, :ts: "'To-morrow will be payday in the National tin plate mill here und the strikers are hoping that wh.-n tl.e men get their money they will listen to strike talk with a more attentive ear. When the mill closed f(,r tl.e week last Saturday the constituents .f President Shatter proclaim: d that n t enough nun would put in an appearance t man the rolls Monday rnornini:. and the Amalgamated people iral; th- same claims tonight. The tin-rr.ll! officials, however, are Jut as an::uine that tiu-y will open up With u full fo:ce. Monday morning. About 114 men will b- paid i-s-morrow. There ate rollers here who average ovt r cverv two weeks' pay. Mil that U the greatest obstacle to th strike argument." Although all the mill, save one. of the American Tin liite Company are clos'd down by the strike, and there is reported trouble at that plant the one at Moneen the company will have ready for operation within a few Jays the largest works under it control. The new plant la located at Martin Feny, (). Three or four plants of the company, several from the Pittsburg district, hav been consolidated there and nev.- buthlinsr put up and new machinery Installed. The plant will be completed bv the end rf th present month when, it I ciairr.-.!, it will b the finest tin works In the world. Betwo-n five and six thousand hands will be required to operate It. The Post to-morrow will say: "A srlou fpread of the ftfel strike Is now threatened In an unexpeetrd quarter. Prom the sheet, tteel hoop and tin mills the contt U expuud to reach out lato ths furnaces In

the Mahonlr.g and Shenango valleys and caus a complete shut down of tho?e plants. It would throw many hundreds of men out cf employment and curtail the production of raw material as well as the finished lirv.s. Prom thee furnaces it i. be'.itvfd the ar.;er will threaten with greater frce than ever the union mills of the Nat'onal Slerl Iioop Company through

out Ohio. If it i j not checked at that point the same fplrit of unionism is fecred to be strong enough to reach once more Into Homestead and Du juesne. "When It vas announced yesterday fr m Cleveland and Youngstown that the Bessemer Furnace A .oblation had soli all of Its produc-t for August to the United States fcitel Corporation the fact was a? once taken up by the Amalgamated otSc'.-xls. During the eariy portion of the present year the American Federation of Labor has had organizer: at work anions the furr.ar,"n:en In th two val!-y. They have succeeded in erettinr together nil of the fur-nacer-un In th'j various plants of the association nnd forming lodge? of the Federation with larso memberships. Under an agreement with President Shaffer, cf the Amalgamated Association, this work of organization was arranged in such a. way that whenever it bcaiu necessary. In case of a strike, the Federation of Iibor was to be prepared to turn over all of these furr.ace lodges, cs well as all other ldg-s It had In the iron an 1 steel trades, to the Amalgamated Association. To take in these lodges and obtain their support for the strike will be the work of a few days. Mr. Hanna Deplores the Strike. C LUV K LA N D, O., July 26. Referring to the statement that he would be asked to act as mediator between the Amalgamated Association and the United States Steel Corporation, with a view to reaching a settlement of the strike. Senator Hanna said to-day: "I know nothing about the matter aside from what hat been published in the newspapers. T nether I would b willing to act as a mediator I don't care now to say. The strike, has been most unfortunate, not only for those directly affected, but for the country at large. 1 sincerely trust that the trouble will soon be amicably adjusted." General Labor Nevm. Business Agent A. W. Holmes, of the striking machinists at Milwaukee, said yesterday that lack of funds makes a continuation of the struggle impossible. The various plants will soon be running to lud capacity. The Marble Cutters and Setters of America, at a meeting in New York but nltht, decided, according to the statement of Secretaries John J. Plynn and John Fitzgerald, to offer moral and financial support to the striking steel workers. Five of the principal box makers of San Francisco suspended operations as the result of the teamsters' strike. Twenty-two of the Standard OH Company's drivers left their wagons, and the bosses ordered porters and packers to drive the teams. The men refused and were discharged. The strike of the union ice handlers at Columbus, O., for a ten-hour workliy and pay for overtime, ended yesrday in a victory for the strikers. The strike, which had been on Tor tour nays, was at once declared off and the men resumed truir wont before noon. Py the terms of settlement the drivers get $1.55 and helpers il.50 for a ten-hour day, with pay at the same rate for overtime. Permanent injunction papers restraining the striking weavers of Frank & Dugan's silk mill, in Paterson, N. J., from "serenading" or otherwise annoying- nonunion workers, were received in Paterson yesterday. The papers permit the strikers to post pickets and to urge workers to leave their places, but all this mu.n be done In peaceable and orderly manner. The temporary injunction forbade the picketing. General" Secretary White, of the United Garment Workers of America, announced yesterday that the strike of his fellowcraftsman in the East wast practically ended, except in the cases of several firms against ' whom the workers hive grievances. White said the strikers would refuse to deal with some of the smaller firms tintil they comply with the dcmanJs for improved sanitary conditions. The strike affected about 70,000 workers. TICKETBROKERARRESTED ALLEGED CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD WESTERN RAILWAYS. LehlKh Vnllcy and Monon Mileage Ticket Snlil to Have? Ree Forced Mauy .Men to Lowe Positions. CHICAGO, July 26. In the arrest of Frank E. Rice, a local ticket broker, detectives of the Western Passenger Association believe they have unearthed a conspiracy to defraud Western railroads out of large stims of money and that the operations of a band of ticket f rgcrs, of whom they say Rice was the leader and instigator, have been effectually checked. Rice was arrested on a charge of forgery and conspiracy. He gave bonds of $1,300. The trial was set for Aug. 5. The case will probably be made the subject of a grand jury investigation. According to the detectives of the Western Passenger Association, Rice sold mileage tickets to various Western points which were supposed to have ben issued by the Lehigh Valley and Monon roads. They accused Rice of turning out railroad tickets from a private stamping mill located outside of Chicago. 3IANY' HEADS TO PAL Ii. Union nml Southern Puciflo Local Agenden to Re Consolidated.

Is that the American schedules are monstrous, involving a great burden for Germany's Industrial an comrnerchl classes, toc-ethr with a nerinu Injury to foreign trade, tariff wars and hindrances to commercial featles. Americans In business in Berlin regard the trouble as exceedingly bad foi both Germany ar.d the United States, pointing out that the sharp agitation during the last few years against certain American rroducts has borne fruit In the presnt bill. Besides the agricultural schedules the Americans express keen dUaopolntment at the heavy increases In machinery. The present duties, ranging from to j marks per hundred weight, are In mmy eise more than doubled. In the case of saws thy are nuadr-.iplert. American rood's are also hard hit. The measure shows a reclngflflcatlon of articles ard a much- more minute division. Comparisons, therefore, are often dlfilcult. Strike of C'Iffar Makers. TAMPA. FIa..

S111.C70.O04; in l&ol. fl20.ICS.095. The reduction Jn value of imports occun chiefly in raw silk, hides and skins, wool and India rubber, and In most of these the reduced value is partly due tj reduction of price rather than quantity. Raw illc hows a reduction from 41,549,67: in to i29.S53.777 in 1301. a decrease in value of 34.1 per cent.; while the number of jounds shows ii decrease from 11.259,240 pounds in 1900 to. 9.139.617 pounds in 19tl. a decrease of only 13. per cent.

This decreas was chiefly due to a reduction In demand for copper in Europe. In cotton cloths there was a reduction due to tha temporary suspension of exports to China, to which the exportatlons of cotton cloths fell from 1S2.G23.6S1 yards, valued at $.733.134 In 1903 to Jk3.S53.W2 yards, valued at $4.552.531 In IM.

The apparent decrease of W.014.C39 exports to Oceanlca is entirely due to the absence of the Hawaiian figures from the export statement of 199L The reduction of $15.510.993 in exports , to Asda is due In part to the temporary rtispenidon of exports to China during the recent period of hostilities, and In part to tha reduction In exports of cotton to Japan, as compared with abnormal exports In 1900. The principal changes in the exports by countries are a decrease of ten millions to Japan and five millions to China, whlcU are due to the causes above mentioned.
