TROUBLE ATMONESSEN
Steel Trust Delivers Non-Union
Men at That Point.
SITUATION IS MOST DELICATE
Officials Say the Mills There Will Re
sume In 24 Hours —Strikers Say
There Will Be Developments at Car
negie Plants.
Pittsburg, Aug. 19. —A party of strike
breakers brought up from the south
by special train were safely delivered
l:> the steel mill at Monessen early yes
terday morning and the United States
Steel corporation expects to add that
plant to the number running partly or
in full with non-union men within the
next 24 hours. The Carnegie proper
ties also resumed last night without a
Iweak in the forces operating them and
I hat fact joined with a promise of an
early start at Monessen leads the steel
officials here to take a very hopeful
view of the situation. The strikers
claim that men enough to start the
Monessen mills cannot be obtained and
that they have not yet shown their
hand at Duquesne and the other Car
negie plants, but promise that later
developments will indicate their
strength to better advantage. It was
anticipated that there would bo trou
ble when the non-union men reached
Monessen for the strikers were watch
ing the railroads and river and had
expressed a determination to prevent
the entrance of the strike breakers, but
it did not occur.
The trust officials have prepared
bunks for about 50 men in the mills
and large quantities of food have been
purchased. A fence has been thrown
around the property and guards posted
to keep out all intruders. The strik
ers will undoubtdly make an effort to
induce the strike breakers to quit and
the fear is expressed that there will
be trouble if any demonstration is
made against the men or property.
The situation there is regarded as very
delicate.
Shaffer has announced that after
September 1 idle Amalgamated men
will receive strike benefits of $4 a
week apiece, and that some provision
will be made for men outside the or
ganization.
JOLIET STEEL MEN QUIT.
Secretary Tighe Induced Them To
Obey Shaffer's Strike Order.
Joliet, 111., Aug. 16.—A new phase
was added to the strike situation last,
night by the decision of the four lodges
of the Amalgamated Association em
ployees of the Ulionis Steel company
at the Joliet mills, to obey the strike
order of Pvesident Shaffer. The con
ference was in session from 3 o'clock
in the afternoon until 9 o'clock at
night, but. the vote to strike was unan
imous. Assistant Secretary Tiglie call
ed the meeting to order and argued
thai in order to secure the organiza
tion of non-union workers in the east,
it was essential that the western men
would have to join the strike move
ment. Mr. Tighe also appealed to the
fealty of the. men to the association;
he urged them to b» men and stand
by their union. His remarks were re
ceived with enthusiasm, and presaged
the vote that followed.

LABOR'S COURSE DISAPPOINTING
Conference At Cleveland To Discuss
Federation's Mild Attitude.
Cleveland, Aug. 17. —It is said on
good authority that a number of prom
inent labor men will meet in this city
this afternoon in conference relative
to more forcible action on labor's
light against the steel trust. Kepre
sentatives from the Federation of La
bor will be present, it is said and
President Gompers will be urged to
ask the various unions in alliance with

WABH-OUT ON THE LEHIGH.
Caused By a Cloudburst—Passengers
Delayed Over Night.
Wilkesbarre, Pa.. Aug. 17.—Tho
washout on the Lehigh Valley rail
road at Vosburg, 40 miles north of
here. Saturday evening was the most
disastrous in the history of the road.
Fortunately no lives were lost, but
the damage done was considerable. All
traffic came to a standstill and a large
number of passengers bound to and
from the Pan-American Exposition
were put to much inconvenience. The
Black Diamond express, bound west
and carrying New York and Philadel
phia people, got within six miles of
the wash-out, when it was halted. Tho
officials of the road saw that it would
be impossible to get the train through
the tunnel during the night, so they
ordered it back to Wilkesbarre. It
arrived here at 11 o'clock, and the pas
sengers were given their choice of
staying at a hotel over night or take
an early morning train over the Dela
ware and Hudson and Erie railroads
to Waverly. N. Y., where connection
could be made with the main line of
the Lehigh Valley again Most of the
passengers remained in the city over
night, and yesterday some of them
returned home, while others continued
their journey west over the Delaware
and Hudson.
An investigation showed that a
cloudburst had occurred and that It
washed out the roadbed for over an
eighth of a mile. But the greatest
damage was at the tunnel. Thousands
of tons of loose earth was washed
down the embankment, carrying with
it logs and other debris. The latter
blocked the entrance to the tunnel and
the water accumulated on the tracks
to a height of five feet.

Carnegie System.
New York, Aug. 16.—The Press
today said: "J. Pierpont Morgan
has planned the greatest labor
union of the age—a union of labor and
labor's ally, capital. According to his
plans, stock of the United Stales Steel
Corporation, valued at several millions
of dollars at par. has been set aside
for the purchase? at Inside figures by
the 165.000 men employed by the com
panies that make up the great steel
trust. It is contemplated to form this
copartnership between the sharehold
ers and the employes of the United
States Steel Corporation. The plan
was conceived before the steel strike
was thought of, and then it was ex
pected that it might be putin opera
tion in two years It required time to
formulate the details of such a tre
mendous undertaking. For this rea
son announcement was withheld."
The Press also said thstf the plan
is nothing more than a high develop
ment of the scheme that has pre
vailed in the Carnegie plants since
1892.

DEMOCRATS TOO TIRED
They Refuse To Have Their Party
An Insurgent Annex.
A BIG VOTE AGAINST FUSION
Their State Convention Places the
Party Unqualifiedly Against Any
Combination To Support a Bolter
From the Majority.
(SpecUil Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Aug. 20.—The action
of the Democratic state convention at
Harrisburg last week practically dis
pones of the scheme for a fusion state
ticket to be backed by Wnnamaker In
surgent. Republicans and the Demo-:
cratic organization.
By an overwhelming vote the dele
gates to the Democratic state conven-:
tion declared against fusion of any
kind and insisted upon the nomination
of a straight Democratic ticket. They
nominated Harman Yerkes, of Bucks,
for the supreme bench, and A. ,T. Palm,
of Crawford, for state treasurer, both
Democrats, and then proceeded to
adopt resolutions to meet any emer
gency and to block any future move in
the interest of a fusion campaign.
A PROBALE SCHEME.
It had been reported that some of
the Democratic leaders, recognizing
the sentiment among the delegates to
the slate convention against fusion,
hud agreed to support a Democrat for
state treasurer on condition that after
his nomination by the state convention
be would withdraw and allow an insur
gent Republican to he put upon the
ticket in his place.
When a rumor of such an arrange
ment got around among the Demo
cratic delegates, they were incensed at
the very suggestion of such a scheme.
The party rules provide that in the
event of a withdrawal of any candi
date on the Democratic state ticket
the Democratic state committee shall
be empowered to make a nomination
to till such vacancy. The Wanamaker
adherents were banking upon getting
a better show before the state com
mittee than in the state convention,
but as the state convention is the
supreme power in the party, its ac
tion is binding upon the state com
mittee.
FOR A DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
When the Yerkes-Palm ticket had
been nominated, former State Chairman
John M. Canaan, of Luzerne, present
ed a resolution which set forth that it
was the sense of the Democratic state
convention that in the event of the
withdrawal of either of the Democratic
candidates nominated that day. such
vacancy on the ticket shall be filled by
the Democratic state committee by the
nomination of a Democrat. This res
olution was adopted by a vote of over
five to one in a convention of over 4CO
delegates.
Then, in order to meet the stories
that iiad been put afloat regarding the
alleged intention of the nominee for
state treasurer to withdraw later on,
delegate William J. Breen. a repre
sentative Democrat of Venango, made
a spirited speech in which he spoke
of the staunch Democracy of Repre
sentative Palm, the candidate for state
treasurer, and asserted that he would
not mislead the convention or attempt
to thwart the will of the great majority
of the Democrats of the state, who in
sist that both candidates of the party
this fall shall be Democrats. He de
clared that the insurgent Republicans
should vote the Democratic ticket, if
they are dissatisfied with their own
party, and that the Democracy should
not be made to be longer an annex
to the insurgent element of Republi
canism.
He therefore moved that should eith
er of the candidates withdraw from
the ticket or a vacancy occur for any
reason, that the Democratic state com
mittee be instructed to till such va
cancy wih a Democrat. While this was
practically a reiteration of the former
motion, Chairman John 1!. Keenan,
who is n straight ticket advocate, plac
ed the resolution before the conven
tion and it was carried by even a more
decisive majority than was given the
previous one.
WAN AMA K Kit CAME BLOCKED.
This action will preclude the carry
ing out of the Wanamaker project for
a ticket to be supported by the Wana
maker insurgent Republicans and the
Democrats. It never was their expec
tation to elect such a ticket, but they
hoped to poll a large vote which could
be pointed to as a nucleus for a fusion
campaign for the legislature next year.
The fact that a representative of
Wanamaker was constantly at former
Judge Cordon's elbow throughout the
struggle at the Democratic state con
vention prior to the adoption of the
harmony plan which Cutty engineered,
showed the great interest the Wana
maker managers had in the proceed
ings of the convention. The Gordon
men were all for a fusion ticket and
the nomination of E. A. Coray, of Lu
zerne, a Wanamaker insurgent Repub
lican for state treasurer by the Demo
cratic convention. The sentiment
against this proposition was .so posi
tive that it was not formally presented
to the convention.
CORAY WITHDRAWN.
One delegate, a Cordon sympathizer
from lllair county, referred to the fact
that there had been a suggestion for
the nomination of Mr. Coray, but he
said that in view of the undoubted
sentiment of the convention for the
nomination of a Democrat, he -would
not place Coray In nomination. He
expressed the hope that some arrange
ment would tie reached by which lie
could be placed on the ticket later.

"For over fifteen years the itching piles
have been a source of constant annoyance to
me, and frequently, too, the suffering has
become intense. At times there was bleed

endurance. The results I have derived from
Dr. Chase's Ointment have been magical and
the benefits lasting. I feel it a duty to fel

"My wife was terribly afflicted with pro
truding piles and contemplated a surgical
operation when her notice was drawn to Dr.
Chas'e's Ointment, and less than one box
effected a euro."
" I then used it for an unsightly and
troublesome skin affection, which had balfled
medical skill for twenty-five years. Dr.
Chase's Ointment thoroughly cured it. Kor
piles and skin disease it is worth its weight

Rev. J. A. Baldwin, Baptist minister

y~p- i
In a recent article by William Dean Ilovvells he tells of a story
which he says has influenced all his life.
Ihe hero of the story is a young Dane, who was going up
among the fiords to seek his
\\! 1 12/ fortune in the northern fish-
cries. Many times when he
was sailing through the fiords
——l. _A~, ' lc found himself locked in by
mountain walls, with no ap
he found some unexpected

Sometimes it seems that
advertising is being wasted, that there is no possible way that if will
turn out profitably, but if the advertiser will keep right on he will find
clear business channels opening, and in the end will make a safe land
ing in the harbor of success.
A little advertising may be unprofitable when a great deal wouid
pay handsomely.
Short-time advertising seldom pays.
That is the reason that ads in the many ephemeral "schemes"
that come to every business man
are never profitable. It is con- v jy'
tinuous, consistent, courageous,
intelligent advertising in the best
newspapers that always and infal- tfWytjsHLjg,
libly brings good returns.

and quits who loses his money. " theman £% e "" red uh °
