AN APPEAL ISSUED.
STRIKING IRON WORKERS ASK
FOR A BOYCOTT.

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.

league#—Aid hhp-niad.
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. .

othsr Plot.
Pittsiutro, Pa.,Any. 13.—The police,
it Is alleged, have discovered another
anarchistic plot to assassinate H. W.
Pride, the chairman of the Carnegie
Steel company. The intended assassin
is the Anarchist Aaronstnmm of New
York, who is a close friend of Berk
man and Emma Goldman. Aaron
stamm has been in the city for several
days and it claimed has been
waiting for a favorable opportunity
to kill his victim. lie is said to re
semble Bcrkmann and is armed with a
revolver in one pocket of his coat and a
dyuumite bomb in the other. The
plot was hatched in Vienna, and was
given to the New York police by Vice
Consul Eberhardt of Austria. The in
formation was given to Mr. Eberhardt
by an Austrian who arrived in New
York recently with letters from
the high police authorities ol
Vienna stating that the Austrian’s
story could be relied upon. The New
York police at once notified the Pitts
burg authorities, and a close watch for
Aaromstamra is being kept about all
all the Anarchists' resorts. As a result
of the disclosures additional guards
have been placed about the Carnegie
buildings and Mr. I'rick's residence
and detectives accompany him wherever
he goes. Secretary Lovejoy has been
warned that he has only until Aug.
15 to live. Other officials of the Car
negie company have also received
threatening letters. The police are
satisfied, however, that they can frus>
trate the plans of the Anarchists.

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. Seth P. Moblev,
Press Committee.

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.
