FAINT HOPE OF TRUCE Ifaribr Will Fallow Tia Plat Flu Sefort Ordering Qeneral Strik. MILL. HAVI 10 DAYS TO ANSWER -ef In the Ntgativa, the Order Catling Out Federal, National Stetl and Na tional Tuba Worka Will Ba liauad At One. Flttaburg. Aug. (.Just a faint glim mer of hope that the great ateel work era' strike will be settled was em bodied In a statement gives oat by President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated -Association, last night When asked f tic would pursue the same policy In -ordering a strike In the mills of the Federal Steel, the National Steel and the National Tube companies, aa he 414 la calling out the men In the mills of the American Tin Plate company, be replied: "If It had not been for this determination on my part the gen- j erai ntriKe would nave been ordered on Saturday night." The rumor of a settlement is based on the bare hope that the officials of the three additional companies will bring to bear sufficient Influence to urge an adjustment of the difficulties before the strike order Is Issued. Presl--dent Shaffer did not express any hope that this would be done, nor did he even discuss the matter, but the infer ence was quickly seen that there was such a probability in sight. It Is a faint one, thought, and but little Inter est was taken in it in the general offices of the association today. Before calling out the tin workers, tmt. after failing to get any satisfac tion from the officials of the Ameri can Sheet Steel and the American Steel Hoop companies. President Shaf fer sent a telegram to Vice President Warner Arms, of the American Tin Plate company, notifying him that un der nrtlcle 19, section 35, of the con stitution of the Amalgamated Asso ciation, he would be obliged to call out the tin workers in all of the mills owned by the United States Steel Corporation unless the dlfflru"y was' settled within a period of ton days. As a result of this notice. Mr. Arms sue- 24-eded In getting together another conference, and a vain attempt was made to settle the dispute and pre vent a strike which would Involve the tin mills. That conference was the one that broke up in the Hotel Lincoln three weeks ago. In order to be equally fair to the other constituent companies of the United States Steel Corporation and .'accord them the same treatment. Pres ident Shaffer has sent a similar notice to the officers of the Federal Steel Company, the National Steel Com pany and the National Tube company, giving them the same time In which to make any effort they may desire to bring about a settlement, or he will put in force this same clause In th Amalgamated Association constitution. It U presumed that the delay in Issul- g the general order will be at least un til the end of the present week. I'ossl blt it will not be Issued unt.l early next week. In the meantime the men in the mill! of these three companies win be prepared to come out when ittae strike order Is Issued. The most Important strike points this morning seem to ba Leech burg and Wcltovllle, with McKeesport a pos sible trouble centre. Prom Leechburg this telegram was received last night: At 4 o'clock this afternoon the Hyde Park mill, which has been Idle since the first of this year, was started. At 1.45 this afternoon a train arrived at Hyde Park, coming from Saltsburg, Vandergrift and Appollo. The train (topped at the works, and Ave men, 'Clad in working garb and carrying din ner buckets, left the train and turrted Into the works. Later, some six mill men from Leechburg, sauntered down toward the mill, passed the guards and walked Into the mills where tonight they are at work. This makes 61 men now employed at the works. The Amalgamated Association, how ever.are In theground making desperate efforts to keep all union men out. They sn&Ve the bold assertion that in two days after President Shaffer Issues his general strike order, not a wheel will be turning in either Vandergrift, Apol lo or Hyde Park. The condition at McKeesport thi3 morning ia reported an feverish. Many srrlVr-rs are on the streets around the National Tube Works. Men announce that they are only waiting for orders from headquarters before going out Organlxer Flynn. of the Federation of Labor, was here yesterday looking over the situation and conferring with local leaders. Persistent rumors are to the effect that the mine workers will refuse to furnish coal for the trust coke furnaces or mills. MINE WORKER3 MAY HELP. Officers of That Union Hope That Strikers Will Win.

J Edward McKay, of McKeesport, Pa, a member of the national board, said: -"The United Mine Workers of Ameri ca will do all in their power. In a moral and financial way, to help the ateel men In their struggle. They are fighting a gallant light for a worthy cause, and we hope they will win."

Over two-ecore of others were more or less seriously Injured. Some of those taken to the hospital will die. It to estimated that at least IS persons were In the live buildings when the exploeloa occurred, and the exact number of dead will probably not be known for M hours. The buildings were occupied as fel lows: No. 1001 Locust street Houseman's pool and billiard rooms No. 1010 Locust street Morris Ro senthal's second-hand clothing store, occupied by Rosenthal, his wife and five children.

What exploded and how It happened Is not known at this time, but it is be lieved to have been a barrel of gaso line in one of the three grocery stores. With the exception of No. 100S the front walls of the buildings were blown outward Into the street, while the floors and the roofs were blown upward and fell straight to the ground. A terrible cry went up from the ruins the moment the explosion oc curred. Women, children and men, occupants of the wrecked houses, could be seen crawling from the do brls, while the agonising cries of oth ers were heard In the wreckage. Prom all the surrounding buildings Injured people came running and fell In the street unconscious. To add to the hor ror. Are broke out In the wreckage the moment It settled to the ground, and In less than Ave minutes the great pile wsj burning fiercely from end to end. A general alarm was turned In for Rre apparatus and ambulances, and in the meantime the work of res cue was voluntarily begun by those in the neighborhood that were not Injured. Here and there a person was dragged from the ruins before the fire could reach the victim, aeveral lives being saved by this prompt work. While the firemen and policemen were digging into the debris and haul ing away heavy timbers, In several sections of the wreckage cries were heard coming from the cellar of Moun tain's grocery store. Fifty men, with rope and tackle, were Immediately put to work at that point and pulled away the roofing and flooring, which had fallen In a massed heap. At the bot tom of the pile, doubled up, were found a man and woman. The man was able to speak, but the woman was appar ently dead. At i a m. the rescuers came across an Inanimate body of a colored wom an, but remarkable to relate the wom an was alive and asked for water.

I. A pe dal from Marinette. Wla. says: Bai ted States Senator Beajaasln P. TIU saaa, of South Carolina, addressed a large audience oa the raeo enaction from a southern standpoint. One of the features of hie remarks was a plea la Justification of lynching. "In Wisconsin yea have 5.000 black men." said he. "Why don't yoa try the bleaching process aid exterminate them by Intermarrying? The Men to repugnant to you. In South Carolina we have 760,000 blacks aad 110,000 whites. The 'carpet baggers,' the 'nigger' and the southern scallawags and scoundrels ruled ue after the war until they had stolen everything that there waa In the etate; then we went with our shot guns to the polls and took It away from uim. All men are not created equal, and the 'niggers' are not fit to vote. Come what may, the white people of the south will gov ern their own country." He condemned Booker Washington's scheme of educating the negro along industrial lines as an attempt to place him on an equality with the white ar tisan, something that would Intensify race hatred in the south. He said that among the 4,000,000 slaves during the civil var there were more Chris tians than there are today among the 9.000.000 blacks In the south. "I do not want to uphold slavery," he continued. "I thank Ood there are no slaves today under the Stars and Stripes. Mr. Tillman made an elo quent plea In Justification of lynching, saying that southern women could not be brought into court to testify to their shame and degradation before a Jury for the purpose of convicting a beast. His reference to the eanctlty of the southern household and the eouthern women and hia remarks on lynching were heartily applauded. He closed with an impassioned statement to the effect that the white people of the south would remain oa top In aplte of the devil," and, if necesssry, he and hie brethren were ready to take down their shotguns again.
