"Tho Iron and Steel Wnrkors of America

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 15. Tho Iron
Trudo Review, discussing market and strike
conditions this week, sayu: Events of tho
week havo mado it clear that tho steel
strike Is a lost fight. The uncettaln ele
ments are tho number of weeks that will
bo required to weary tho men of Idleness
and how much of Its organization will re
main to the Amalgamated association when
tho end comes. Tho failure of the Federa
tion of Labor to give moro than sympathy
In aid of tho strikers and t lit refusal of
tho western member of the Amalgamated
association to violate their contracts at tho
order of their president have been serious
blows to the, hopes of tho lenders. Oalno have
been made by tho strikers nt McKccaport
and, inVthe Wheeling district, but it ls al
rcad plalu' that" tho Htrlku spirit has
reached high mark and that tho news from
now on will bo of gradual defections.
It appears now that the action of Presi
dent Shaffer In signing an agreement at
Now York, which ho and his assoclutts
failed to carry out, was one occasion o(
tho western defection and has caused dis
content In other direction!! that will bring
early breaks In the strikers' ranks.
Tho stoppages of the week havo been at
plants of the National Stool company and
tho NatlonaJ Tubo company. Production of
steel Is considerably curtailed. At Wheel
ing the finishing mills are' Idle and at Mc
Keesport the hutt and lop weld departments
were closed on Wednesday.
Hellalre, Mingo Junction and Newcastle
steel plants arc Idle, but tho shipments of
nesscmcr Iron are still being tnken by the
United States Steel corporation, with eomo
changes In the destination of tho motal.
Llttlo Ilossctncr Iron has. boon purchased for
September delivery.- Should tho present
status continue into that month morehnnt
furnaces in tho volley would bo under tho
necessity of piling Iron" or banking fire.
Tho threatened strike of valley furnace
worker has not come, tho leaders probably
coming to on appreciation of the little effect
It -would havo on tho strlko under existing
conditions.
As matters stand tho production of steel
Is now closely adjusted to the requirements
of trado and tho pig Iron production Is, more
nearly in lino with steel works' consump
tion. Tho advances In price that, havo
come In tho wrok nre In muck bats, skelp,

They nre torpedo boat destroyers nnd will
bo known hereafter by tho names of
Whipple, Truxtun nitd Worden.
The ceremonies attendant upon tho
launching took place nt 2 o'clock In the
presence of a large assemblage, Including
government, state and 'city officials, officials
In both army and navy and civilians of
prominence. They enmo from Washington,
New York, Philadelphia nnd from other
points In the country on special trains and
In private yachts. Over 1,000 special Invi

a handle of silver, upon ono side of which
was n shield surmounted by an American
eagle, while on tho other wu a plate, upon
which wcro engraved tho dnte, tho name of

ringing of bells on tho dozens of vessels
nnd factories in the vicinity.
I.iti-KCNt or Their Tj pc.
The three new boats nre dissimilar In
namo only. They aru the largest of their.
typo In tho united States navy. They nro
also among tho largest In any navy In the
world. Their comparatively superior size
hns enabled the designer to provide qunr
icrs lor tne omcors and crew which are
far more commodious than on other ves
sels of their type. All the furnishings
In the cabin arc made of metal. Asbestos
sheathing takes the place of veneering In
the llulshlugs and wood is totally nbtent
from tho construction and fittings of tho
vessels.
Tho new boats in length nre 250 feet 6
Inches over all, 218 feet on tho water line
22 feet 3 inches beam, H feet S Inches deep
and draw nluo feet of water, with a nominal
displacement of 433 tons. They will be
propelled by two four-cylinder triple ex
pansion engines, which will develop S.300,
horse power nt n speed of 340 revolutions
to the minute, with a steam pressure of
315 pounds to the square foot and a heating
surfaco of 17.76S square feet. With this
machinery they are expected to attain a
speed of thirty knots nn hour under
natural draught.
They are supplied with two torpedo
tubes each nnd each boat will have eight
rapid-fire guns, of which six will bo 6
poundcr? nnd the remainder 2-poundcrs.

sixth ntinunl demonstration of the United
Irish societies, commemorating the 302d
anniversary of tho victory of Yellow Pass
and the 303d nnnlyersary of Hugh O'Neill's
victory over the English at the Yellow
Ford, A meeting nearly equal In Htrength
to that at Sunnyalde park was held nt Os
wald's grove under .the, auspices of tho Irish
Nationalists.
At the former .meeting Michael Davltt
was the chief speaker, nt tho latter O'Dono
vnn Rosen. Michael Davltt came from Ire
land to nttend tho Sunnysldo gnthcrlng.
Prominent New York Irishmen nnd one
resident of Dublin -wero speakers at the
Nationalist meeting In Oswald s grove.
O'Donovnn Rofa arrived In Chicago yester
day. James F. Egan of Dublin, tho sword
bearer of tho lord mayor, nrrlved early
today. Mr. Egan's speech dealt with pres
ent conditions In Ireland.
Sunnyslde was crowded with Irishmen
when President John F. Fl'nerty called tho
meeting to order. In introducing Mr. Davltt
Mr. Kean, chairman of tho afternoon meet
ing, pnld n compliment to that Indefatigable
champion of tho Irish cnuse.
After contrasting the conditions In Irc
lnnd with tho conditions n few years ngo
Mr. Davltt wont Into tho burden of his
speech. He said:
.Many Cromt the Sen.
"I was hero in this city, nddrcsslng the
Irish BOclotlcH of Chicago, fifteen years ago
today. Within that time fully 500,000
young men nnd young women have crossed
from Ireland to theso United States, not
to return, but to remain. Allowing half
of theso to have been men, the loss to
Irolnnd and the gnln to tho ropubllo would
be 230,'ion men; that is eight times tho
number of men of another race, who for
tho last two years havo for a time beaten
one of tho greatest empires in tho world
In tho field and who aro Btlll unconquered
and, I believe, unconquerable.
"Tho notion in many minds hero Is that
nothing would have been or could hnvo
been done nt homo during the last twenty
years, were It not for the unstinted mon
etary support that has flowed across tho
Atlantic. That Is a ridiculous delusion.
I venture to sny that our people at home,
poor as they are., have subscribed $3 for
ov(jry $1 glyon by our friends nnd kindred
here. H Is not America that has been
pouring its tVcuitlrcs" out to Ireland, but
the other way'-ilbotlf. tForty thousand of
our ycruog people 'cbino hore from tho old
land every year to add to tho wealth
producing power of the States. Econom
ically valued, these emigrants nro worth
$23,000 to the Industrial nsscts of Uncle
Snm."
Sympathy for Hip liner.
A meeting was held In the evening, nt
which Mr. Davltt repeated his address and
speeches wero made by n uumber of local
Irishmen. Resolutions wcro adopted an
nouncing faith In tho patriotism and nblllty
of tho men who are dlreotlng tho Irish
oauso In Ireland, declaring admiration for
and sympathy with tho Iloers nnd regret
ting that the United States had withheld
Its active aid frorn them.
At Oswald's grove Mr. Rosso In his ad
dress agreed with Michael Davltt that
emigration Is drawing tho heart's blood out
of Ireland, but tho worst thing ror tno
country, declnrcd, tho speaker, Is tho fact
that there is really no disposition among
tho Irishmen really to do anything.
"Tho Idea of obtnlnlng nnythlng from
England." declared Mr. Rossa, "save by tho
sword Is nonsense. The policy of England
Is to drlvo every Irishman from Ireland
and at present It is meeting with fair suc
cess In this work. Its policy of forcing
tho Irish out of Irclnnd dates back for
fully twenty years and It will continue
until all Irishmen shall bo driven from
tho island."
Nothing but force, declared tho speaker,
will avail to make England chango that
policy. Nothing will over bo nccompllshed
by parliamentary agitation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13. Shamrock II went
Into drydock todny and American experts
hnd their first chance to study tho lines of
the craft Sir Thomas Llpton has sent over
In hla second nttcmpt to lift the America's
cup. The cup challenger resembles Colum
bia very much so far as Its utidcrbody and
fin aro concerned. That Shamrock 11 Is a
dangerous opponent wns conceded by tho
experts who saw it today. From Its easy
entrance forward to Its clean run aft thero
are power nnd speed in every line. All the
curves arc true nnd easy nnd thero Is noth
ing crude or coarse In any of them. Watson
evidently took tho cutter Rrltannln, his bsst
all-nrouud boot, ns the basis of his model.
In Improving on llrttnnnla Watson evi
dently hnd Columbia In his eye. fpr tho
mid-scctlon of Shamrock II Is practically
that of the conqueror of Shamrock I.
This fact was pointed out by experts ns
showing how yacht designers on cither side
of the Atlantic nro converging along tho
prune lines to such an extent that practi
cally they have como together and there li
no mnrked difference in types such ns ex
isted In tho day of the Purltnn-Gencsta con
test. Their fins nro prnctlcolly ollko. Sham
rock II Is n moro graceful crnft. The beauty
and cleanness of the run and the nhnrpnoss
of tho forepart of tho fin nro tho principal
points of tho new Shnmrock.
When the larger sal) plan s taken Into
consideration t must bo adjudged to be nn
opponent worthy to bo met. With n foot
less beam thnn that of Constitution and a
slightly larger sail plan It la nn ideal fine
weather boat, well adapted to meet tho
usual run of early nutuniti breezes off Sandy
Hook. However, thnt Ameiica'a cup Is In
peril of being lifted by Sir Thomas Llpton
this year lo by no means tho opinion of
conservative yachtsmen uho looked upon
Shnmrock II todny.
That It has Intrinsic merit nnd will doubt

everything nbout Its hull that Is meritori
ous has been fnthoreil from Amerlcun
sources.
I'l-eiv Seourn the Hull.
All nftciuoon the crew of Shamrock was
kept busy burnishing with oil and emery
paper the hull below tho water line. The
plntcs aro of Immadlum bronze nnd nre sum
ceptlble of'n high polish far moro lustrous
find brilliant than those of any previous
challenger. They hnd become much discol
ored since tho last hauling nut, but there
was llttlo or no trace of marine growth
nnd not a solitary barnnclo. Thero wns one
rivet only thnt was started and Cnp'aln
Sycnmnrc. who made frequent circles around
the yacht, reported that not a plate was In
jured, thanks to the .admirable system of
bracing that helped to hold the yacht to
gether and thanks also to the phonomennlly
flno weather that prevailed on tho ocenn
Tho bronze bottom In Its contact with roll
water exfoliates very freely so no seaweed
has a chance to get n firm grip on tho
plates. A finer surfaco has never been seen
on a racing yacht than that of the first
three strakes of tho cup challenger lifter
tho crew hnd finished their burnishing.
Tho genera! opinion of experts wns thnt
8hamrocH.II Is a rarely good .boat nnd that
Mr. Watson, has avoided tho errors that bo
mode In Thistle, when he cut away Its lat
eral plane so completely .that It wns of lit
tle use when hauled on wind.
Mr. Watson, they think, has also avoided
thoso crudltlcE of form which are charac
teristic of Valkyrie HI and which were
nearly ns pronounced on Shamrock I. Evi
dently the Glasgow designer hns benefited
by close studies of the epoch-mnklng yacht
Glorlnna, designed by Not Hcrreshoff. nnd
nlso from later productions of that wizard's
brain, Vigilant, Defender nnd Columhln, for
an expert can -sco traces of all theso craft
In Sir Thomas Llpton'n challenger.
1'onipa rlmn of (he Craft.
Valkyrlo III was u wider nnd shallower
croft than Defender. Shamrock H Is a
nnrrower boat than Constitution. Constitu
tion, while lncklng tho graceful curved
lines of the challenger, has power nnd
strength that may be found wanting In
Shamrock II. Iloth could bo protty close
In light airs, experienced yachting men
believe, but when heeling over to a com
manding breeze Constitution, owing to its
greater lateral plane, bhould excel in a
linrd brush to windward. In reaching or
running Ditto mny not bo filch a pro
nounced difference, they think. In the
absence) of any decisive figures, they nro
Inclined to be prudent prophets, but that
the challenger must allow the defender
about a mlnuto over a thirty-mile course
scorns pretty well established. It Is gen
erally ugreed that the underbody nnd tho
fin of the challenger will have to do tho
trick. Constitution should carry moro aitll
and stand up to Its work In n breeze better
than Shamrock II.
As for tho personnel of Shamrock. It
would bo Invidious to make comparisons.
As a sea Jockey, the yachting men hero
nbouts hold thnt Captain Syramore Is equal
to Captain Ilnrr. In a Hying start, to
which ho has been well broken In, he might
get tho better of Captain Rhodes, but as
two minutes nro nllowed to cross tho line
In tho actunl cup races, this may not provo
an Important factor.
It Is said that there Is llttlo doubt that
Constitution will be chosen to-defend tho
cup. Although tho honors nro easy up to
