DO NOT LOOK FOR WAGE ( I T
Steel Employes Satisfied With Condi- I
tions of Existing Agreement
Pittsburgh, Dec 17-.—Employes of:
the I nited States Steel Corporation do
not believe there will be any cut in i
wages for the coming year. The men
have been working along on two and
three days' worn a week. In the last
two weeks there has been a slight im
provement and they are working from
half to three-fourths' time. A fe>v|
I men occasionally get in a full week's
1 work.
! Since the strike of 1892 the various!
mills have b'>en operated under an
agreement. This has been one-sided, as !
: the company will not deal with com
mittees and the men accepted whatever
j they were offered. Two years ago the
i companies gave their employes a volun- ;
I tary increase and, although the agree
ment declares notice shall be given by !
, both sides before any change in scale
lis made, the company has not given
I the required notice.
Ninety per cent, of the 10,000 em
; uloves in the Homestead Steel Works,
i Carrie Furnaces, Howard Axle Works
arid Schoen Steel Car Wheel Works, it
is claimed, are satisfied with the pres
! ent agreement. The workmen say they
j realize the conditions are such that the
companies cannot operate their plants ;
fully, anil that in the absence of any !
cut they feel they are being treated j
' fairly. The operation of the plants on
I >-hort time was devised to give all men j
: some work, while the policy of re
| trenchment was being carried out. j

PRESIDENT GOES SHOPPING
Mingles With Crowds in Stores, but I
Is Not Annoyed
Washington, Dee. 17. —President;
Wilson went out to do some Christmas j
shopping yesterday afternoon and had a
very enjoyable experience. He took
Dr. Cary T. Grayson, his physician,
with him. and several of the secret
service guards of the White House
staff followed in their wake.
The President and Dr. Grayson left
the White Housp in a big limousine
I adorned with the official crest of the
1 President of the United States. After
making some purchases at a shop which
specializes in rare books, the President
re entered the car and was taken down
P street. Washington's principal shop
ping thoroughfare. More purchases were
made at two jewelry stores and a book
store.
The President spent some time in a
large department store, where he was
recognized by many of the shoppers.
The pla e was crowded, but nobody
bothered the President or showed any
offensive curiosity as to his purchases.
One woman, who appeared to know him,
shook hands with -Mr. Wiison and talk
ed with him for a moment.
The President was in excellent spir
its. The shopping tour kept him away
, from the White House for two hours.

DOUBT HE SHOT IX MISTAKE
Detectives Believe Colored Man Is Mur
der Suspect
Philadelphia, Dec. 17. Although
John Smith, colored, of Knoxvillc,
Tenn., told Detectives Kmanuel ami
Geonnetti that he shot and killed MrS.
Marget Davis, 1717 Addison street, on
Tuesday night, fearing somebody was
trying to break into his room and rob
him, they believe he is a fugitive froi|i
justice and tired the shots apprehending
he was about to be arrested for another
murder.
They say his description tallies with
that of John Smith, also known as
"Money" Smith, who is wanted at Co
lumbus, ().. to answer a charge of shoot
ing and killing Policeman John Btillnrd
in that city on November 6, last. The
lebtel'from the Columbus police warned
the police here to be careful in attempt
ing to capture Smith, as he was known
as a ''bad man with a gun," who had
been mixed up in shooting affrays in
Tennessee.
Smith was committed by Magistrate
Hens haw in the City Hall police court,
for his appearance before the Coroner
on the charge of murder.
