Ciiicaoo, July 11, 3 p. m. There Is a
perceptible weakness all along the lines
ot the strikers, but tho more aggressive
leaders evidently expect to carry tho day
by storm, and Sovereign declares his man
date will eventually be obeyed by 750,000
men.
All but three local Trades Unions have
decided to postpone their strike until

THE CALL FOB STRIKERS.
All Unions May Not llespond The Ilea
sons for It,
Special to tho IIeiiai.u.
Ciiicaoo, July 11. The backbone of tho
strike appears to be broken. The twenty
three railroads represented by the General
Managers' Association are moving pas
senger and (relght trains on schedule
time. Of course, the extraordinary con
ditions of the strike situation still ob
tain, and each train must have the pro
tectlon of the government.
The calls for recruits to the ranks ot the
strikers issued by the Trades Unions nnd
Knights of Labor has not been as effect
ual as was anticipated. It is admittod
that not all organized labor will join
directly in tho strike. The locomotive
engineers will not go out. Neither will
the plumbers nor the printers. In many
of the trades which will quit as organiza
tions, a large proportion of the men will
remain at work. They do not see in the
Pullman strike any reason why they
should lose their work and wages and
involve the nation In industrial Anarchy,
In the case of other trades, the strike,
under present circumstances, is a flagrant
violation of their organic law. The strike
will not be legitimate, and nny man tak
ing the place of a striker in such condi
tions cannot be placed under the ban.
A Dynamite Scare.
Special to too Herald.
Ciiicaoo, July 11. Im this crisis, and
just as the public is alarmed at tho possl
hie conflict, comes the announcement
that 100 pounds of dynamite have been
stolen from one ot the great magazines
of the drainage canal. In the dead of
night the heavy bars and Iron door of
the nmgazlne were forced and enough
dynamite was stolen to blpw up the entire
business portion ot Chicago; yet 300
specially detailed detectives havo been
unable to And a trace of tho robbers or
the missing explosive. Tho secret of the
theft has been well kept while the search
was proceeding, but a high official of the
drainage canal to-day admitted all the
facts, adding that the quantity stolen was
sufficient to destroy property worth ?50,
000,000 and terrorize the whole city.

A ITOI EM
Important Discovery in the
Water Works Contract.
IT REFERS TO THE PIPE I
The supervising Kntlueer Ohjeets to the
Kind of ripe Contracted For, and nn
Inspection of the Contract Shows n Very
Important Omission,
When the Borough Council adjourned
on the evening of the 5th Inst. It decided
to meet again last evening for the purpose
of having a consultation with the super
vising engineer and contractor of the
public water works with a view to having
an understanding as to why certain pipe
had not been ordered and laid, and at the
same time It was resolved that In case tho
engineer and contractor failed to appear
at the meeting all work on the water
works would be stoppsd.
Mr. M. P. Qulnn, the contractor, Mr.
Womelsdorf. the engineer, and Mr. Win.
McAdam, tho sub-contractor, were In
attendance at the meeting last night and
before they left the water works oueBtion
assumed a very complicated shape. The
result is that (8.000 is milled to the cost of
the works, hut Council is to hold another
meeting on Thursday evening to decide,
from Its point of view, who shall bear the
additional expense.
Mr. Womelsdorf was the first speaker
niter tue opening 01 the meeting and
stated that the contractor had expressed
a willingness to put In the 8,000 feet of
pipe from the pumps on tho other Bide of
tho mountain towards the reservoir on
this side, but he (Mr. Womelsdorf) would
not allow it. He said that if Council pro
posed to put In the plpo called for by tho
contract he wanted It done br a vote so
that he would be exonerated from all re
sponsibility as engineer, as the pips con
tracted for would not stand tho pressure
six minutes.
Mr. Qulnn added the statement that he
had always been ready and is still ready
to comply with the wishes of Council.
A discussion followed and led to tho
production of tho contract, when Mr.
Oulnn DOinted out the nrnvislnn for 12.
inch cast iron pipe, 1,200 pounds to tho
length, tl.50 per foot." Mr. Qulnn said
he was rsady to go ahead and put in that
pipe in n worjcmaniiKO manner, hut the
engineer objected to It.
Messrs. Gable and Lamb argued that n
contract had been macio for a
pipe to withstand n pressure of COO pounds
to me square men, out upon reierring to
tne contract me only paragraph rererrlng
to pressure was found in the nttneheil
specifications and had been marked out
with red lnK.
The question than arose as to who had
stricken out the provision as to pressure
anu some one remarKed thnt it must have
been the lawyers. In his own behalf
Solicitor Pomeroy slid he had nothing to
do with the drawing up of the contract
nnu never nw 11 untu inst evening, it
was prepared by the late John A. Nnsh,
Esm.
In answer as to what the cost of the
pipe required would be in addition to tho
cost specified In the contract Mr. Qulnn
said It would he 11 per foot, which, In the
aggregate, wouiu amount to t,uuu.
Council finally decided to adiourn to
mest again on Thursday evening, the
water committeo in tue meantime to meet
and come to some conclusion in regard to
tlm mntt.P tlin rpaillf tr Itn rannvtoil tn

NEWSPAPER CHANGE.
The Miners' Journal I'usses Into New

An importnnt event in Schuylkill
county newspaper circles took place at
Pottsvllle yesterday in the transfer of tho
Miners' Journnl plant to n syndicate
known as the Miners' Journal Printing
Company, of which M. P. Quiun, the well
known contractor. Is president; II. C.
Boyer, of the Heiialo, Shennndoah, Is
secretary, and John F. Finney, of Shen

Morning Despatch, is treasurer and busi
ness manager.
The Journal Is the oldest established
Republican newspaper in the county ami

acquisition. The political and general
policy of the paper will remain un

cussed, but nothlntc dellnitedeclded unon.
The working staff of the Journal re

LAWLESSNESS AND ANARCHY
Ilev. William Powick Writes nf Sunday
limn llallnnd Chicago Itlntf.
EniTOK Hr.rtALI): The nation stands
aghast at tho dreadful spectacle that
centres In the city of Chicago poor Sab
bathless Chicago. The cries of oppresed
labor pierces tho heart of humanity, hut
a still louder cry salutes our ears and
stirs our fears, it is the cry ot lawlessness
and Incipient anarchy. It looks as though
groat multitudes feel that nunrohy is- the
only remedy for cruelty. But If they are
rigiit tne remedy is worse man me disease.
However much wo may deplore the
wrongs which may havu been heaped
upon labor by Iron-hearted and cold
blooded tyranny we must remember that
wrongs which may be righted by other
wrongs still survive and will appear again
In other and more dangerous forms. The
spirit of lawlessness which scores a point
for you to-day will not scruple to score n
dozen points for you to-morrow If occasion
should servo. Lawlessness wherever
found Is a universal enemy.
uut what has this to do with Sunday
ball f Much, every way. Chiefly, because
Sunday ball Is an expression ot the same
spirit of lawlessness that is to-day tramp
ling under loot in uuioauo the rights 01
all classes and defying the authority ot
"the powers that be" and threatening the
land with civil war- Man has 110 more
right to violate ono law than another.
The same authority that makes murder a
crime makes Sunday ball a crime. And
11 really good citizen will no mora violate
one than the other. "He that offends In
one point is guilty of all." When man
loses his respect for one law he Is likely
soon to lose his respect for nny other thnt
may not happen to fit hlsown selfish ends.
Chlcago'slcontempt to-day for those funda
mental laws upon which trade and
commerce depend are the legitimate out
growth of a contempt for other nnd whnt
may seem to some minor lnws In tho past.
The thief begins by stealing pennies, then
dollars and then fortunes. The drunkard
begins by taking n drink to-day and an
other to-morrow and then jumps to two
or three and then. So tlm lawless man
begins by picking this and that law out
ami stigmatizing and violating it because
he does not like It and ne irly always goes
from bad to worse until he becomes at
length a thorn In the flesh ot the moral
and well disposed part of society.
If, as our Borough Council says, "play
ing base ball on Sunday is a disgrace to
the town and should be condemned by all
good and law abiding citizens," It seems
clear that those who wink at this evil are
likely to wink at othor evils when It suits
their purpose. The only guarantee any
citizen has ot liberty depeuds wholly upon
the cultivation of a spirit of submission
to the law as we find It, whether It suits
us or not. And he who rebels at this
point is the enemy of the whole nation.
A community that tolerates lawlessness
In any form 1 Inviting lawlessness in
other and perhaps very unexpected forms
as Chicago realizes now.
In view of nil this, the question ot
Sunday base ball resolves Itself at last
Into a question, not merely of morals or
of religious opinion, but of good citizen
ship. And I am persuaded that the ren
son Sunday ball obtained such a foothold
In Shenandoah In the past Is because per
sons who, in other respects were good and
law-abiding citizens, failed to consider Its
bearing upon the vital questions here
suggested. To advertise one's contempt
for law and deliberately plan for Its vio
lation and then to Invite others to share
the crime, is to threaten the foundation
of society and to Invite the opposition of
every good citizen on the grouud of self
defence. If society does not throttle the
Bnlrlt of lawlessness that threatens It,
the spirit of lawlessness will eventually
throttle society.,
very truly yours,
Wm. Powick.
