STRIKING IRON WORKERS ASK FOR A BOYCOTT. fhfy relieve This Action Would Brine the-Com puny to Terms—May lie More Trouble at lluqueena—The Bituatlou at Homestead. Pittmu'ro, Pa., Aug. 14.—President finmucl Oompers 91 the Ameriean Fed eration of Labor, and the members of the executive board of the organization arrived in this city yesterday and held a covfereneo with President Weihe and Vice-President Carney of the Amalgamated association. The follow ing statement was given out at the close of the conference: *, The executive council of the Ameri cuh Federation of Labor held a con ference with the executive officers of the Amalgamated association of Iron and Steel workers, lasting from 10 o’clock in the morning until 12:30 o'clock this afternoon. The various phases of the present situation of the Homestead lockout were oonsidered, and it was" resolved to have a con ference with the advisory board of the Homestead mills before taking any action. ,Jt can be reliably stated that relief measures only were considered, und the conference did not touch on the subject of a boycott. Yesterday closed with nothing new J in the strike situation except a threat- j cned renewal of liostalities on the part j of tliy workmen at Duquesne. Several [ of the workmen said great dissatisfac- j tion existed among the men and that a ■ strike was probable. It Is not thought, ! however, that the threatened movement i will materialize,although the Duquesne ! workers have kept up their organiza- ' tion even though it is not recognized j by tlie firm. The strikers at the Thir- i ty-third street mill have ordered the I return of all of their number who j have been away on vacations, and on I their arrival a meeting will be held to i discuss what shall be done. The result i of this meeting may be the abandon- : ment of the strike, but such action is j hardly looked for.

Homestead, I’a., Aug. 14.—The locked-out men were out in large num bers yesterday to greet the executive council of the Ameriean Federation of Labor. The members did not arrive, and there was much disappointment until acting Chairman Crawford received a telegram from Pittsburg informing him that the council was there and would very important results as an outcome of the council's deliberations. They believe that the threat of a general boycott or the inception of it will frighten the Carnegics and force them into another conference. The mill management, however, appears in no wise concerned, and intimated that if council docs systematize a boycott suits for conspiracy would follow. Relief was again given tlie laboring classes, the number applying exceeding 1,200. The advisory committee hasde chled to send Burgess John McLuckie to lioston with O'Donnell and Urown. He will start for there to-day. The latest move of the Amalgamated association is an attempt to get the iron establishments of Pittsburg and elsewhere to refuse materials that Como from the Carnegie mills. A cir cular headed “Appeal to Workingmen'* is now in tlie course of u. tribution. It reads as follows: “You are requested not to work up tlie materials that may be shipped from the works of the Carnegie Steel com pany during the present strike, lly so doing you will help us gain a victory in our present struggle for organiza tion. Committee of Strikers.” The Pittsburg firms will be first sup plied with the circulars, and then at tention will be turned to other manu facturers. . LARGEST CROP EVER KNOWN.

Nebraska at tlte World’s Fair. Gkakd Island, Aug. 28.—Subs tan tial progress is being made in the ! preparation of the .Nebraska exhibii | at the World's Fair. During the past few weeks, betweer forty and fifty auxiliary World’s Fait associations have been organized in this state, extending over as many counties, and superintendents of the I several departments have been active | ly at work in their field awakening a : general interest and preparing for the 1 exhibit in their respective depart | For the Agricultural department three superintendents have been mak ing a very busy canvass, and all re port substantial and satisfactory prog ress and deep interest, and apparent full realization throughout the state, of the fact that this will be Nebraska's greatest opportunity for the promo tion of her material interests; an op portunity which ail agree we should make the most of, to the end that our millions of acres of fertile, untilied land may soon oe made wealth-pro ducing. thus enhancing real estate values and benelitting ail classes. It is the intention and determina tion to make the best agricultural ex hibit possible, ana the prospects are most flattering for an exhibit which no state in the Union can eclipse. There is also much activity shown in the promotion of the horticultural, dairy, apiary and educational depart ments, and in the women's department there has been .a degree of zeal, en ergy and enthusiasm shown which teems to insure a most commendable showing in the way of women's work and advancement in this state. THE NEWS TAPER EXHIBIT. Work in this department is well ad vanced, and this feature is meeting with most satisfactory encouragement from nearly all Nebraska newspaper men and women, and others interested in seeing the state adveitised to the best possible advantage throughout the United States. Duplicate sample copies of nearly all the publications in Nebraska have already been collected and alphabetically arranged for bind ing for exhibition. A list of the pa pers in the state has been nearly com pleted, and most of the information ob tained for the historical newspaper directory of the publications of Ne braska, which directory will give all the facts a newspaper man or the pub lic will care to know about every pa per in the state and arranged in the most convenient form for ready refer ence. Responses to circulars of in quiry have been prompt full and sat isfactory, showing general interest and earnest enthusiasm in that feature of the work. It is the intention to in clude in the directory every publica tion in Nebraska, so arranged as to make it a valuable book of reference. It is the desire of the undersigned su perintendent of that department that every newspaper man in the state, who may have failed to receive a circular of inquiry, to send him notice, to gether with a sample copy of paper, to the end that the record may be as near complete as possible. Not more than one-half of the live papers of Ne braska appear in any newspaper di rectory yet published, and in said di rectories appear, the names of many papers long since dead, so that it is a very difficult task to get a comDlete list, but the most painstaking care is being exercised to see that none es cape in this work. There are now orf the list 706.papers and magazines and additional ones find their way to the list almost daily by the co-operation of editors already listed. It is the intention to give a brief sketch of each paper, and also of the town and county where published. Novelties in the newspaper line and also special editions will be shown to the best advantage, it being the in tention to make the newspaper exhibit next to the agricultural exhibit, the attraction of Nebraska's showing. This will be Nebraska's greatest od portunity to advertise the natural re sources of the state, and the greatest possible advantage should be taken of it, and every Nebraska citizen, regard less of sex, color, nationality, creed or politics, should assist in making the Nebraska exhibit what it should be_ the best on the grounds at the great exposition.

OUR ST. LOUIS LETTER. A Hotbed of Political Conflict—Athletle Revival. St. Louis, Aug1. 15.—For the first time in the history of politics in tjiis State, the headquarters of both the great parties, as well as the People’* party have been established in St. Louis. The Republicans have the whole of one story of a hotel on Fourth street, the Everett house, and the Dem ocrats have their rooms in the Laclede hotel. The People’s party managers are at the Richelieu hotel. All of these places are crowded from early morning to evening with candidates and their friends; and politicians from all parts of the State are making the city the hub of every journey they take through the counties. Both the Republican and the Democratic parties in tended at first to establish branch headquarters in other cities in Missouri, but they aban doned the idea, concluding that the central position of St. Louis made that unnecessary. Here the managers are able to obtain close communication with National headquarters, too, and that is a thing of importance. The athletes of the city now see their way clear to making St. Louis a great athletic center. The Pastimes will begin soon to lay out their new grounds near the electric car lines in the western part of the city, and Chris. Von der Ahe, the basebad manager, announces that his plans are ready for his big ball park and athletic field, which he intends to have in condition for use next season. Mr. Von der Ahe will try to have all the games of the clubs which are not under the Pastime management, held on his grounds, and tho result will be a livelier competition in matters athletic than the city has seen for some time. The Pastimes have no Sunday games, and that is the point of difference between them and the other athletic organizations of the City. Mr.. Von der Ahe will open his grounds with a series of ball games early next season, and the Pastimes will receive the public on their field with a contest that will bring athletes from all over the country to St. Louis. The admirers of Frank P. Blair are anxious that the ladies having charge of the woman’s exhibit for Missouri at the World’s Fair shall make the statue they are to erect at the entrance of the State pavilion one of that great Mis sourian. The ladies have not decided whose statue they will have there, and they want to find out first what the people of the State think about it. The statue will be of heroic size, and will be made by a St. Louis sculptor, either Robert Bringhurst or Fred Ruckstohl, probably. If the statue is ,to be Blair the sculptor will take him in a pose different from the one in which he is shown by the statue out at the en trance of Forest Park. The postal clerks of the United States seem to be fond of St. Louis- They are going to hold another convention here soon, and finish the work they began here two years agq. They are trying to eliminate politics entirely from the postal service, and make the civil service rules apply to it from top to bottom. The thing they are after now is to get all the clerks graded, so that those who are most efficient may get. the best pay, without regard to their: influence or party leaning. There will be about three hundred del egates at the conventich. Catholics Condemn Manitoba Government St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 12.— Catholics at Winnipeg,at a mass meeting held last night, unanimously decided to main* tain separate schools for their children in this city, despite the decision of the privy council in England compelling them to pay taxes for Manitoba schools.
