The men who are directing; the right In the fl'-M for the Steel Corporation and its constituent companies would to-d:iy give no indication of their plans for the future and would only discuss the situation generally. A statement alleged to have been given out officially by them at noon was repudiated later in the day. Thdr reports showed that the Carnegie group. South Chicago, Bay View, Jolkt, Yourgstown, Columbus, the Kiakimlnetas valley group, Wellsville and ?.Ionessen were moving along full-handed, liellaire, their advices showed, was badly crippled, but hid held on until 5 o'clock la the afternoon and would be started up again later. They admitted the los today of the National rolling mill at McKesport, which they had expected to hold, and that the Horton mill and Monongahela steel works at McKeesport and the Hepublic und Elba were tbd up. Their tub workers at McKcesport and here were Uli at work, but menaced by a possible shortage of material. Their tube men at "Wheeling were out, but the furnace and coke men there were at work and their steel men there .howed an inclination to stay on tinless Intimidated. They also claimed that many of their men ul McKeesport desired to work, but were being terrorized by the disorderly element. They also charged that man)' of th'tr men were being frightened from their places at Wheeling and insisted that adequate protection for the men there would insure continued operations. It wa also stated y the steel otficUls that Clark's mill here was moving along with its nonunion crews engaged last week and that another mill manned by old Amalgamated men had started up at Wellsville, representing h gain of one there since Saturday. (Jtlielals of the National Tube Company and Mayor Chick clashed to-day over the tuestlon of protection for nonstrikers and prope rty. A Iaig- crowd of strikers assembled around the works this morning, and their pickets intercepted tub workers on their way to the mills. There was some excitt merit and the rr. ill officers, claiming that their men .erc being threatened and In danger of violence, called on Mayor I'dnck to clear the streets and protect tiiem. Tiie maycr said that he would only interfere to stop actual rioting and asgault. Two other appeals were made to him later In thy irernii.g. but he insisted that there was no clanger bf an outbreak. Another crowd gathered at noon when the tube rr.en were leaving the plant and, while the v. orkers were .Wied, no violence was ottered. The .strikers say that it Is only a question of turn- when material will give out and the tube men must quit. Otherwise. 1i is bcH-ved that there would be serious trouble in Mr Keesport. Iic-ports from Wheeling- and TJellaire indicate that there tray bt trouble there. At tee latter place an attempt Is to be made to k ej the plant in operation and the mill. rrU.'lal.i siy that if thev or the men who tlid not go out an- interfered with they will ask for State militia to protect them. At . heeling, report that men wer being imported have r.roi.ght out crowds bent on preventing tin ir admition, and it ii predicted that then will be serious clashes there before the strike is fettled. Most of the. strlk; centers, and Tittyburg in particular, ure very orderly, however. The strikers at (.anal Hover, )., have had nun watching the mills since 2 o'clock this nornlng on the strength of a report that nonunion wor'te; arc to b brought there. Superintendent Harris, oT the tin mill, has rotiiled the men that unless the plant I reopened within a reasonable time he has sger Warner, of the sheet mill, has made the same announcement to the men who went out of his service. The executive ccrrmittee of the Amalgamated Association, probably will make an exhaustive investigation of the action t?ken by the lodge.; at South Chicago. Hay View and Jo'in in refusing to make the strike. President Shaffer has been urged to go Wt.-t and personally investigate the matter, but It I unlikely that ho will be filrt.ti--4re tb" time for the present. A radical element in the local lodges bitterly mnounee the Western members and insist that there was n methlng Irregular about the matter. Others intimate that influences that wou'u not bear Investigation were used on the men. It Is claimed that a canvass made a week ago showed a majority in favor of striking and that no reasonable explanation of the change of front has been made. President Shaffer refrains from any direct criticism of the act of the "Western men. but it is known ho deeply refcrets the loss of their support. Ho says that he will await ollicial reports before acting und that be can do nothing until he returns from Wheeling. He is to be accompanied to Wheeling bv ltev. Charles 11. ' Itzwllllam, cf Atlantic City, who will address the strikers. The two were close friends when tho strike leader was in the ministry. Ueport to-night from Lorain say that the mills are working as usual and that there 1 ho prospect of trouble. Mingo Junction reports that there may be an early attempt to tart the National steel plant there with nonunion men. Altoona wires that the seven-Inch mill of the American Steel J loop Company nt Duncunsvllle. which has been Idle for months, will be f Urteil to-morrow, and that the prospect of trouble in the mills there is slight.

Four skilled men from the Monessen works are said to have left there for Cleveland this afternoon, and oth-rs are to be obtained In this State and Ohio. An effort Is also to be made to start up the Humbert plant of the Americgi Tin Plate Company at South ConneU viLc. If the effort falls this plant may be one of those dismantled and consolidated with Moneasen. Two men who claimed they were seeking work were ordered out of McKeesport as suspicious characters to-day. They insisted that they were not vairrants. but had cometo town to work. The police decided that they must leave, however. Discussing his stand on the question of police protection. Mayor Black to-day said: "As long as there is no disorder I have no ripht to interfere. I thought to-uay that if the company had the rlKht to occupy two of the principal Ftreeis of the city that the men had a rizht to stand on the sidewalk as ions? as they were orderly. I will maintain order here." Two hundred and fifty butt welding helpers came out to-night and crippled the great hutt-weldlng department of the National tube works, at McKeesport. The strikers are nearly all boys under eighteen and comprise half of the force of helpers In this department. Fully 2.) men will b? forced to quit work and the entire department, consisting of 4.V, is expected to be Idle. The boys cam" nut aeainst the wishes of the Amalgamated oltlcials. and Orpanizer Stewart Sharp tried in vain to persuade the boys to go back. The young fellows are turbulent and it was their strike that began the great strike and riots of 1MM. At a meeting late this evening the Riverside steel workers at Wheeling. in number, voted on a narrow margin to work until Sept. 7, in observance, of their thirty day agreement with the National Tube Company. To-night there are r) men at work In the Wheeling district mills of the United States Steel Corporation. 1) steel workers at the Riverside.

Text of the Appeal Sent Out by the AmalKuniated Association. PITTSBURG. Aug. 12 The appeal for financial assistance was prepared by tho Amalgamated Association on Friday last, but was not sent out until to-day. It reads as follows: "To Labor Urethren, as you are undoubtedly aware the United States Steel Corporation Is now waging a war against organized labor by making the Amalgamated Association the subject on which to begin operations. At our last convention it was unanimously decided to ask the United States Steel Corporation, when settling their annual wage scale wit.i the Amalgamated Association, that they sign or recognize the scale of the Amalgamated Association in all their mills. When the matter was broached it was preemtorlly refused. After holding several conferences the demand of our organization was modifled so as to take in only three mills of their constituent companies, viz: The American Sheet Steel Company, the American Tin Plate Company and the American Steel Hoop Company, where local lodges had ben formed, and where the men were very desirous of being union men. and we are now out on strike for recognition. "In the conferences which were held by the representatives of the United States Steel Corporation and the Amalgamated Association, the representatives of the United States Steel tympany's only argument was that they did not desire the Amalgamated Association to become too powerful, and that they should hold the balance of power. Later conferences were held with the heads of the United States Steel Company, who submitted a proposition that we sign only for the mll!s signed last year, with the exceptions of the sheet mills in Saltsburg and Scotdale. which were signed for the year previously. Their proposition was rejected, as It meant that the Amalgamated Association would merely have to remain in a quiescent state, while they were expanding and adding to their nonunion possessions. "They are waping a fight for the extermination of the Amalgamated Association, and for the workingmen to combine, a principle which tney have demonstrated to the people of th United States they deslro themselves and so persistently refuse

to us. This blow is not alone directed-

tinst the Amalgamated Association, but to organized labor generally, and should they succeed In defeating tho Amalgamated Association it will affect every organized body in the United States. "To succeed in this struggle it will be necessary to seek the aid of every organized body, as well as the general public, whose sympathies we know aro with us In the present struggle. To this end we ask that ycu give us your moral and financial aid. A liberal response financially will materially assist us In conducting a victorious campaign for u principle which is the In illenable right of every American freeman. "If you desire to nld the Amalgamated Association in tho present struggle financially all money should be forwarded to John Williams, secretary-treasurer, Rlssett block. Pittsburg. Pa." This was signed by T. J. Shaffer, president: John Williams, secretary-treasurer; M. K. Tlghe. assistant secretary, and lien 1. Davis. Journal manager. Tho Amalgamated Association also issued nu appeal to Its lecal lodges urging the members who are employed to give liberally to the rai'se. Continuing-' the call says: "Much financial assistance could be cttained as we could In our large cities start a popular subscription through tue medium of tho lecal newspapers. Public sympathy is with us and will support us if given an opi.ortur.ity. The above plan vould be an eye client one If placed In operation. Do what you ran in this direction, as it will noble all fair-minded people to demonstrate their practical sympathy. If there Is any other plan you think of that would assure the same purpose, then place It In operation as it la absolutely necesiary that we have practical results alone this line."

Sny rreelilent Shaffer I)oe ot Understand the Situation. CHICAGO, Aug. 12. The South Chicago members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, who voted so decisively oa Sunday not to strike, returned to work in the mills of the Illinois Steel Company to-day. When wo.'d reached the men that President Shaffer had severely criticised them for refusing to obey his order to strike they declined to discuss it. District Deputy Vice President Fred Fair said: "President Shaffer does not understand conditions here. If he tlid he would not be so outspoken In his criticism of our lodges. When he says the steel workers of the West arc not loyal and hive no conception of tho duties of a union workman ho simply expresses an opinion from his standpoint. AVe are perfectly satisfied with our action, and when It comes to obligation we owe to the union we probably are capable of judging for ourselves what Is due the union and what to our employers. The coming of the national officers to South Chicago would have no effect on the situation. In the first place we do not expect them. Secondly, If they como the men would undoubtedly refuse to vote again on the same question. They have decided quietly, soberly and conscientiously on what they will do. and they will not bo turned from It."

(iompfri Will (dve All Aid l'onnilile. WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Presldent Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, said to-night that his organization would use every peaceable means in its power to assist the Amalgamated Association in Its strike. Personally, he hoped that an amicable adjustment of the trouble mlvht be arraiiKed and expressed his willingness to co-cperate in any effort to trlnc about a settlement of the conlllet. He declined to discuss further the attitude of the American Federation towards the strike, and reit rated his refus il of this niiiralng to say whether a meeting of thn Federation' executive ciuncll would bn called to consider the strike situation.

Will Stand by the Inlou. WARKKN. O.. Aus. 12. John Nestor, president of Warren Lodge, of the Amalgamated Association- committee, said regarding the announcement that the United Slates Steel Corporation would remove Its plant from Warren If the strikers did not return to work: "So far as the trust moving the Warren mill Is concerned 1 would not like to see it done, but we are with tb association to the end. and will be governed by whatever it may do."

Imported .Men Jpereil. CLKVKLAND. O.. Aug. 12. Sixteen imported men were successfully landed at the Crescent tin plate mill to-night. A crowd of 5"0 strike sympathizers jeered the newcomers, but there was no untoward action. District Manaeer Pamfield. of the American Tin Plate Company, said to-night that four out of six mills would be running in the morning, and that the entire plant will be in operation within a few days. Yo Sympathetic Strike. YOUNGSTOWN, O., Aug. 12. At the big plants of the National Steel Company and the National Tube Company here, which are the only ones that would be affected by the strike order of President Shaffer, everything is in full operation to-day. The employes', while they say they v. ill not come out on a sympathetic strike, are sending a portion of their wages to the Amalgamated strike fund. Induced to Desert. PULLAinU. O., Aug. 12. -The works of the United States Steel Corporation here have been kept In operation to-day, but not much progress has been made in the way of production. The strikers to-day induced twelve more tonnage men and one salaried man to desert the mill. Organizers are increasing the membership of the Amalgamated iode organized within the last few days.

Yot n Man luit Work. ' LORA IN, O., Aug. 12. Not a man quit work In the big plant of the steel trust here to-day as a result of President Shaffer's strike order. The entire plant is being operated to its full capacity. Agents of the Amalgamated Association were here to-day. but apparently they have thus far made little headway in securing members for their organization.

Labor Commissioner MeCorinaek Thinks They Slionld Yot He llroken. "I heartily Indorse the action of the Amalgamated Association members at South Chicago, Pay View and Joliet In refusing to strike," said State Labor Commissioner McCorniack yesterday. Mr. McCormack Is a strong union man. lie is fteo In declaring his sympathy with the strike of steel workers, but at the same time holds his own views regarding certain phases of the difficulty. "I think that If the contracts entered into by the Western steel workers with their employers," he said, "were made with the approval of the Amalgamated Association or with its knowledge, or if they were not in violation of any of its laws, the men could not have done otherwise than they did, and acted honorably. We arc in a sorry plight if men's contracts arc not worth anything. "Why," continued Mr. MeCormack, "I have said all along' that there could not be sympathetic strikes to any great extent for this very reason, that so many of the rren In other unions are bound by contracts. Do you suppose if the men In one 01' these printing establishments were to be ordered to go on a strike that they vould be idiots enough to obey the order end violate their contracts with their employers? 1 scarcely think so." MISCELLANEOUS BREVITIES. The official announcement was made yesterday that the Younstown plant of the American Can .Company would be dismantled and tho machinery shipped to other plants of the concern. These works employed seventy-tive hands. Kfforts are being made at New York to form a hat manufacturers' trust, and it Is paid articles of incorporation will be. tiled by those Interested In the project within a few days. About twenty of the leading manufacturers of the United States aro expected to enter the combine. The board of trustees of the Freedman's Aid ami Southern Uducatlonal Society met at Cincinnati yesterday and unanimously elected as president of the New Orleans University U. M.

Company D. one of the original divisions of the Massachu.-ctts Naval Prlgade, has been elisbandod by Governor (Trane-. The order of dlsbatalruent says: "it appears that Company I) has fallen below the standard of cttlcie-ncy." Company D made a good record in tho service of the United States during the Spanish war.

The Alabama Constitutional Convention to-day provided that sheriffs may succeed themselves for one term. Under the present Constitution sheriffs can serve only one term of four years. The convention refused to repeal an ordinance, heretofore adopted providing that the Governor may suspend a sheriff pending Impeachment proceedings- for permitting a prisoner to bo taken from him and lynched. Mr. Ilurns Introduced an ordinance which socks to disfranchise persons of illegitimate birth. An order was filed in the Court of Chancery at Trenton yesterday appointing William G. G. Seo receiver of the General CarrlaRe Company, a New Jersey corporation. The receiver was appointed ut the Instance of Montgomery & Co., to whom the company Is indebted to the extent of $120.71.

( 20 Cents a Share

FOR A S H O RTTTME1 ONLY. J

The history of all investments with other companies in this Kern river oil field leals tu to believe this is an opportunity for investment worthy even of your savings. There are ether reason for this belirf : L. Dort, expert, who has examined all of the fields of the United States and Russia for the Staudard Oil Company, says: "Every well drilled within its boundaries is absolutely sure of striking payiui; oil, there being no cases where a failure has occurred." Our land is surrounded by more than ."00 paying wells. No well drilled failed lo produce paying oil. No well has since failed. Within six rods of our land are three wells, each producing Ö00 barrels of oil d aly. The oil sands of this field are known lo be at leis: ".O0 feet de p literally underlaid with a lake of oil. Within three-fourths of a mile of our laml is a gusher produciug 1,000 barrels daily. The lands are also laden with rich deposits of asphaltum, of which you know the value. It is to be had ou the surface. We own an interest in a pipe line to a railrord two miles from our Und, giving available transportation without extra cost. Companies of a similar character aud operating adjoining our land are paying :) and l'JO per cent upon their stock. There is a good market for all the oil taken out. A conservative estimate is that four w -lis producing Ö00 barrels daily will put your stock on dividend drawing basis. The purchaser of each share of stock will receive back in cash the full amount paid for it btfore any dividends are paid.

SvicK Opportunities for Judicious Investment are Few. Chances Here are as good as were tHose of Ellis and ArVHittier.

$31,620 on $100 Alout one year ao Richard K'lis, of Bradford, Pa., went to Southern California for his health. He had little money, but had experience with the Oil Well Supply Co. of Uradfcrd. He secured employment with local representatives of that company. After a short time he was sent to their Coiling branch. After being in charge for a short time he branched out for himself. Home Oil Co. stock was then selling at 10 a share, par value. $100. Klli purchased ten shares. The price advanced to $40 a share and he sold three of his shares, returning to him the original investment. The remaining shares he held. In a slort time the noted well cf the Home Oil Company w.ts acquired, the stock bein to jump with great strides and when Mrs. riuc e Hearst entered the field to buy up the controlling interest in the companv, the stock advanced from one point to another until it reached fl.'J'.'o a share in the open market. When it reached the $l,f00 mark Hllis sold his seven shares, receiving therefor $.U,."HJ. Adding to this the amount previously sold, his original investment brought him a return "l,ti'J).

Boston Herald. Teachers in our schools public, private, or Sunday schools alike often get downhearted at the lack of Interest on the part of parents as to what Is going on there; especially on the rrt of fathers, who, these teachers declare, often evince no more vital solicitude for the education of their tender offspring than eo many self-graduated Shanghai roosUrs In a barnyard for that of their broods of chicks, whllo the humane mothers not infrequently rise to a kindred sense of maternal responsibility with tho hens. This ought not to be. Dr. John Flske, In his cosmic philosophy, has clearly demonstrated that tho prolongation of Infancy in the human species, along with the duties thereby entailed on fathers and mo hers alike, 1 the master stroke of nature., darkly aimed at tho differentiation of men and women from dogs, cats, ostriches, roosters and hens into so many Roman Cornelias male and female proudly crying:, "These are my jewels!" Thank heaven, however, ull men are not as most men a fact revivingly Impressed on tho mind of a reporter on the Boston Herald the other day when In that keen Interest in common school education, ever ro close to the heart of the press he dropped In upon one of our grand institutions for the evolution of the coming sons and daughters of the Republic. Who should turn up on the occasion but one of Boston's most sagacious and successful business men a man with more calls every hour on his time than most men have in a week. Asking for a chance to address the children an opportunity gladly granted him, so welcome had he made himself on previous occasions he stood up and delivered himself straight from the shoulder in the following fashion a fashion, the reporter felt, fully worthy of wider circulation in the columns of the Herald: "Boys and girls," began the driving, levelheaded speaker, "1 want to talk to you about a matter of immenso practical Interest to you all. Many of you know me for a man with heavy business responsibilities on his shoulders. First and last, the concern of which 1 am head gives employment to about 2.000 men and women. Well, 1 am often pestered to death with appllcatlor.3 for positions from one clas of people whom I have come fairly to detest. You will be startled, no doubt, when I tell you who they are. They are not necessarily lazy nor vicious people. They aro what go by the name of self-reliant people. 'What, ?flfreliant people!' you will cry out. 'Why, thet;e people are Just the characters we have been taught to look on as the pride and glory of America! Yes, that is exactly the mischief of it. and 1 want to try whether I cannot clear up your heads a little on this momentous matter. In other words. I want to talk to you about selfreliance, when it Is a virtue and when a vice, when a blessing and when a curse. TWO BOYS. "Let me begin with a little story. I have a friend who has two boys, of ten aud twelve years of age. A year ago last April he said to them: 'Now, Will and Dick, if you keep on till summer vacation doing as well at school us you have been doing. I'll take you to the White mountains, and we'll climb Mount Wasliinston together and see from the top of it all the kingdom of the earth and the Klory thereof.' Of course, the boys redoubled their diligence, and, true to his word, when vacation tim came the party started gayly forth, arriving about sundown ut Crawford's Hotel, at the foot of the lYesidential range. They were to have a very early breakfast to secure the advantages of sunrise on the way up. and duly each one of the family presented himself at table. Forthwith, one ot the boys began, like n trooper, to lay in a substantial foundation of bread and butter, beefsteak. French-fried potatoes, doughnuts, and. on this rare occasion, coffee. But the other was so excited that he could riot swullow a morstfl. In vain the father Insisted. Vou can't climb Mount Washington If you don't eat a good breakfast." 'Oh! I'm good for fifty Mount Washingtons.' was the reply. It was of no u;e. The overexcited little fellow could not be Induced to worry down mure than a mouthful or two of bread. "For the first third of the way up all went well. After that ene of the two boys began to lag behind and the others had to

wait for him to catch up. Then, later on. he must lie down, off and on. and finally he began to c-omplaln. 'I've such it headache, such a headache!' Matters went from bud to worse, till at last father and brother had to half drag, half carry the exhausted creature to the top. He had spoiled his own day and he had spoiled the day for the others. And why? All because he bad been so self-reliant. Anil reliant on what? Why, on a boy without any breakfast in him that is. on a boy not fit for such a strain. 'Oh! I'm pood for fifty Mt. Washingtons!' he had boasted, and, alas! he was not good for one. Ills brother, tot., was self-reliant. But. sensible fellow, only . . u boy w ith a solid nn-al of bread and hu. T, beefsteak and doughnuts In him. on wi.; V steadily to draw all the way up the mount a 4. so you see there are two kinds of felf-rcliance. TUM RIC.HT KIND OF SF.LF. "Now, you children are here in school to lay in a solid breakfast against the day when you will have to face and climb the hill cf life. It's a steep, hard hill, I can tell you, and you will never get to the top of it unless you have two helps on the way; first, strong self-reliance, and, second, a a self fit to be relied on. It Is hardly neccessary for mo to detail to you all the Items on the bill of fare of the breakfast you will have to lay in here. Reading, writing, ciphering, geography, physics, historythese are a few of them that will help to build up in you u clear and accurate mind with some range of outlook to it. Above ull. you are here to build up a character that can be trusted for truthfulness, industry and honesty, if you fail of establishing this foundation, the more, selfreliance you have, the worse for you ami everybody else. The curse or our country a the hordes of people thinking themselves fit for everything, when they are fit for nothing. We have plenty of doctors pluming themselves on their ability to treat grip, consumption and cancer, while they do not know enough to treat a. corn or a bunion. So with skippers, ready to take command at any worrneaten old hulk and sink smack to Davy Jones's lockr with crew, passengers and cargo. I encounter these creatures all round In the business world, und, instead of udmlring them for their self-reliance, l would liko to lock them up in Jail as liars, cheats and criminals, gulling and hurting the world. They ure uttering false checks, redeemable nowhere, and through them no end of people are sufftrtng with painful disease and brought to wrock In fortune. Do you want to know when you have become a self fit to be relied on? Why, when you can add up a column of figures so that the answer will come out right every time, when von can speak Xhk truth and shame the devil, when you can sail a boat and not cap.-lae It. Then, and never till then!'' It is needles to say that this stvle of pithy, common ense address riveted the attention of the loys and girls, all the more that It came from a man of widelvrucognixed practical ability. It cleared üp the atmosphere and exploded a wretched sham. For of ail the shams that ar working mischief In the minds of young people In America none Is worse than the Indiscrlminatlng drixrlw of laudation they perpetually have Ltstowed on the supposed glorious quality of self-reliance, as though it made no Kort of difference whether or no It was reliance on a rotten bridge, or u leaky ship, or on a bridge an express train might safely da.h over at lightning speed, or a ship no gale could founder. The speaker ended uf! on this occasion with resplendent illuktratlons drawn from the career of that highly self-reliant healer of all the diseases flesh Is heir to, Dr. Dowie, of Chicago, an illustration tending to showhow, by unwarranted exec of this virtue in the man. vast numbers of people have been badly "left" by him. C'ultlvute n Prune Appetite. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. While the government's crop report concerning corn and some of the staple vegetables makes us sail, as we think of the higher prices we shall have to pay fur eatables in the coming winter. It is a comfort to reflect that the glorious climate of California has ripened the usual harvest of prunes. L'nele Sam tells us that the condition of the late corn crop In the great maize States has Improved, but that the early torn crop has been practically ruined. The yi. I I of oats is unsatisfactory. whl h may itiTeet our breakfasts. The potato outlook is poor and the prosjK ct for apples is discouraging. But the peach crop is a laru? one. and prune: Weil, tlieit are t.t acies .f prune trees in California, and cery prr.re tree is expected to do its duty. The crop is about 5i.J.o .0 pounds of ro-n prune, making l&u.Oon.tMj pounds of cured prune-. That is enough to iili ;. freight cars. I'runeH are aw imurifliii k meat t.r milk. How do we know? Why the people that raise the prune: say m, and if they do not know, who doe? if other kindly iruit.t of the earth fail us, let us cultivate a prime appetite. The Truth am lo Tin Piute.
