President Shaffer added this state,
meat: "The call rocs to the ite
presidents of the districts In whkh
there are mills owned nnd operated bv
the National Steel, National Tttbo and
Federal Steel companies, as well as to
the ofllcials it the lodges in tho mills,
"No notice has been, or Is being,
pent to tho managers of the mills. We
thlnl: their notice has come from the
other side nnd that they have had
warning of this event since the inaug
uration of tho strike. It ought to be
bulllclent,"
General Striko Order Issued.
Pittsburg, Aug. fl. A general strike
order from Piesldent Shaffer will be
mailed to nil tho vice presidents of
the Amalgamated association tonight,
ordering tho men out on August 10,
unless theio Is an adjustment of tho
differences In the meantime. Tho
strike will affect all tho Amalgamated
men cmplovr", by the National Steel
:ompnny, Firnl Steel company and
National Tube company.
President Shaffer says the manufac
turers have had suillclent notice. Ho
3oes not anticipate any settlement be
fore the strike goes Into effect. Tin
men are orcis-red out from the last tin n
sn August 10. The ruder will throw
idle about 12,000 union men and about
ilxty thousand In the mills who am
:onnected with the Kedei.ttUm of l.n
sor and who aro not organised, but
ivho will lme no woik by le.isnn of
the strike of the skilled men. All to
gether, 100,000 moil Will likely be idle.
The order, It Is said, will also tan m
the men at tho furnaces owned by tho
United States Steel cnrpoiation who
nre not members of the Amalgamated
association, hut who nio connected
with tho Amen lean Federation of
I,ahor.
Not only ar the Federation men In
tho mills unci furnncen dlieetly In
volved, but there Is an ominous thicat
that structutol steel. workers will n.
use to handle tin corporation steel in
building operation.
100.000 Men Will Join.
The order given above Ib expected to
well the number oi Idle men to over
lftO nno i,t the end of the week. Piesl
dent Shaffer was asked If the call was
not Intended to go to the union men In
the Carnegie Steel company. He said
he could answer no questions on that
scote The Amalgamated association
has lodges in the upper and lower
union mills of the Carnegie Steel eoin
i.w. nnd a foothold In the Home
stead, Duauesne and Htaddnck tntlK
the gieat bulwatk of non-unlonlsm.
In conformity to statements that have
been made by Piesldent Shaffei be
foil', these meiii will be expected to Join
the strike rs will all Amalgamated
men and s niuthUoi.s In all plants of
the Fulled Slates Steel corpoiation.
The other companies of the steel cor
poiatlon not mentioned by the Amal
gamated piesldenl, and whoso oper
ations the association will seek to
hamper, ate tho Amcilean Steel and
Wlte company nnd the American
Ihlilge company. In the wlte company
the Amalgamated association has only
lodges) In the Cleveland rolling mill
plant and the .toilet led mill plant of
the company. The formei is now Idle
In the plants of the Ameilcan Hildge
company theio Is no organization of
the men. The outMde men handling
and erecting tho woik of the American
Itildge company aie oiganled as the
lnternntlon.il Aotlation of Ilrldge
and Structuial Iron workeis. They nio
not afllllated with the American Fed
elation of Lnhoi.
The attitude of the federation re
mains uncertain, and thp president of
the Amalgamated association is un
willing to discuss It. although support
has been proffeiod by olllcinls of the
It-deration. This has been without tho
concerted action of the fedoratlon's ex
ecutive board.
Many afllllated bodies of the Federa
tion hao annual or long term con
tiaets with their employers, and be
yond liiMiicIal and moral support It is
I rd to t II ' j. l. Federation may
go.
It had been the pin pose of Piesldent
Shatter to give the operating olllcinls
of the lemalning constituent com
panies of the steel corporation time to
anticipate the calling out of their men.
If It was Intended to give those mana
gers any foi ma 1 notllloatlon, this plan
was waled today, although thoy will
still have till thp i losing of operations
on Saturday to pi event the striking of
their men.
The call to tho men of the three
companies In tho mills of which the
Amalgamate d association is strongest
Is expected to bo generally and
piomptly lesponded to on Saturday.
The moe will. It is expected, practi
tally suspend opeiatlons of the Fed
rial Steel company and mt oil' half
of the production of the National Steel
and National Tube companies and
tluow- upwaids of 10,000 men Idle.
In tho most extensive plant of the
National Tube company, at .McKees
port, the otganlAitlon is new and the
effect of the strike otder Is unceitaln.
Tho wcuka employ upwaid of MOO
men.
The attitude of the men of the Ful
led States Steel coiporation, so far not
affected hy the stilko, has been caie
fully canvassed since the futllo effoit
to arrive at terms of peace In New
York last Saturday.
Most of tho nine vice piesldents of
the dltfetent districts have been among
their men and their leports haxo
i cached headhunt tors. In a general
wa, the tone of this tepoit Indicates
that the men will suppoit the stand
ol their ofllcials. An aggtoshe moo
ment on Carnegie mills Is Intended
and will be taken promptly.

Philadelphia, Aug. . Seven dead,
tlueo or four piobably fatally Injincd
and mote than sixty other poisons
hurt more or less sclously Is the latest
revised leconl of last night's explo
sion in the block of buildings on Locust
sttcet above Tenth stieet In this city.
How- ninny mote victims, if any nio
still In the tulns, will not bo known
until all the debils has been denied
away, which will take many mote
houis ot hard work. Tho latest Unci
was made at t o'clock tonight, when
the badly burned remains of a coloteet
man was found In tho vtreikage on
tho sidewalk. Tho list of dead Is as
follows:
HlUabcth Mountain, aged 3s years.
rieeletlck Leo, aged 10, coloied.
I'nknown coloied child, aged about 3
yeais.
I'nknown coloied woman, aged about
2s, ami thtee unknown colored men,
ranging iu agis ftom about "0 to 40
yea is.
The most seilntisly injuted who me
likely to die nre: Mrs. Pattli-k Qulg
ley, Samuel dales (coloied), Lizzie
"VVatkins (coloied) and Morris Rosen
thal. Tho escape fom death of Lizzie
Watkins Is considered lemnikablo, She
was bulled almost a dozen feet tiniler
the debris with lire all aiound her and
was taken from the iiilns four and a
half hotus alter the explosion occtir-
led, She vv.-n badly binned and bruised
and her sight was destioyed. A large
number of those that were not seri
ously Injiiied have left tho hospitals.
but eitilte a number will be confined to
these Institutions for weeks.
I'ndetetri-el by tho incessant rain, the
woik of scutching for tho dead ha a
been kept up continuously timing tho
twenty-lour hours since tilt oxposlon
occtiucel. The only poison who was
positively known to bo In the tulns
wns Hlizabeth Mountain and a huge
fence of men was kept constantily tit
woik In the debits whole her inutliei's
house had stood.
Searchers Rewarded.
The efforts of the se.uehcr.s vteie
lew.iicUd at I o'clock this afternoon
when, In a coiner ot the cellar, cov
eted paitly by broken bricks, tho io
malns ot tho unfortunate woman vveio
found. Her mother nnd brother had
.stood by dining the ontlio night and
clay, watching tho seaichei.s at work.
One coloied man was found in the
iiilns ot the lestnur.int, which was pa
ttonlzed by negroes. Ho was sup
posed to be a helper iu tho place, but
no one c ould bo founet to Identify him.
The man found tonight wns about -'i.
yeais of age and hail on the uuifoim
of a bootblack. Temporary electric
lights have been erected nt tho scene
of the explosion, nnd tonight two hun
ched men under the direction of the
department of puhlio safety are v lg
otously pursuing the search. Many of
the lesldents of tho neighborhood be
lieve theio aro meiio bodies iu the
wreckage. Theto aro several persons
still missing, but as some nf those had
no known permanent place of i evi
dence, It cannot be stated to a cer
tainty that they are burled In the
iiilns. The police nnel file ofllcials can
give no opinion except what they
gather fiom those who live in the
vicinity of the disaster.
The police nnd llreo lllclals nio also
making a. semen for the cause of the
explosion, but up to tonight they have
no positive proof as to Its cause. They
tho ilainnge and that It had been stoieel
hold to the thorny that gasoline did
in ono of thro groceiy stoics. Tho of
llcials ate Inclined to believe that the
explosion occtii icd In the Mc-Cleminy
stoic, which was In the middle of the
block. McClciuni, xv ho Is badly in
juied, claimed that he had only a gal
lon of the oil In his place nnd that ho
kept it In the Mr of the building.

VALUABLE BRICKS TAKEN
Thieves Obtainod Store Than $310,
000 Worth of Bullion-Tunnelled
Through Sand from Edge of the
Bay Romovod Booty in a Boat.
Strewed Tracks with Pepper tc
Stop Ghnso by Bloodhounds,
fly i:clnltc Wire from 11k Awotialed Pre,
San KranclKcn, Aug. U- More than
$1119,000 woith of gold bullion was stolen
ftom tho Selby Smoltlng works nt Vnl
lojo dining the night. Access to the
slicing room wheto tho bullion wan
stoied wnsi obtained' through a tunnel
which the thieves had bored from tho
edge of Son Francisco bay to the build
ing, some distance from tho ttnter's
edge. It is diiipocd that the plunder
was' removed In a boat.
Tho Selby smelter Is the largest on
the Pnclllc coast. Ores nio sent there
from nil parts of the western slope for
reduction. The works are located near
the bay shore, about thltty miles from
San Francisco. The Iosm vvna not dis
covered until after tho works resumed
opeiatlons today.
Details of the robbery received In
this city aio meagre. A. J. Ralston,
piesldent of the company, said that the
thieves excavated a tunnel between 300
and 400 foot long, from a point nenr
the ruilioad tunnel and under the
stiong room connected with the works.
They had stolen barn of bullion aggre
gating In value more tlwn $.110,000. The
gold was taken to a boat In waiting
nenr tlu company's wharf, but In their
hurry to get away tho thieves left one
bar on the beach. They took the un
usual jnecautlon of strewing their
tracks with icl pepper, presumably to
pi event bloodhounds ftom taking up
tho trail. I Inch bar of bullion wnn

ion that they will bury tho gold or
sink it In the bay, awaiting a conven
ient time for Its removal, as their
aio few smelters on this coast where
tho gold can bo losmelted.
At I ho Selby works the gold Is kept
in a steel-lined stiong-room. Tho rob
bers tunnelled until they got directly
under the loom and then cut through
the Moor. The tunnel was a skilfully
constructed work, which It must have
taken many days to complete. Once in
the strong room, the thieves had only
to help themselves to nil In sight.
Bullion is sent each day from Selby's
Han Franc, ico office to the smelter by
h special boat. The boat arrived at
the works as usual today with the
consignment of bullion and the strong
room was opened, so that It could bo
stored. Then It was that tho smelter
olllcinls ellscovoted their loss.
Following is a list of the property
