the Open Shops Are No Longer to Contain Them Some Mills Looked for Action To Others It Comes ao a Surprise PITTSBURG July 1 President T J Shaffer of the Amalgamated Asso ciation of Iron and Tin Workers will this morning issue an order calling out all union employes of the various mills of the American Steel Hoop company known as the hoop trust It is estimated that 15000 men will be subject to the call which in connec tion with the big strike of the Ameri can Sheeet Steel company ordered by President Shaffer on Saturday will af ect 50000 men President Shaffer said tonight The impression that only the mills of the American Sheet Steel company are af fected by the decision of Saturday is a mistake The workmen of all mills in the American Steel Hoop company are interested and will be officially no tified this morning that the scale bas not been signed and that they will quit work The to the well organized mills this notice will be no surpris3 for the men who have watched the situation carefully but what is known as open mills where union men have been allowed to work side by side with the non union is where we have to move Union men must walk out of these open mills in the hoop trust The open mills to be notified are one at Hollidaysburg Pa three at Pittsburg and one at Monessen The organized mills which will close on our call are the Upper and Lower mills at Youngstown O Pomeroy O Sharon Pa Girard Pa Warren Pa Green ville Pa This I believe will bring the number of men affected up to 50 000 It is a matter of regret that the issue has been forced but it now looks as thought it will be a fight to the death Continuing Mr Shaffer said The Amalgamated association is not un prepared for it We have not had a general strike for many years and in that time we have not been idle We have funds and will use them Right here I want to correct an impression which has been given out that no ben efits will be paid strikers until two months have elapsed The Amalga mated association will begin at once to take care of its people Mr Shaffer concluded his talk by saying I will say now what I said to Mr Smith general manager of the steel company in the conference I said if it is to be a strike we will make it one to be remembered The officials now dealing with us have but little idea of the extent to which this strike will go once it is on CUBAN ELECTORAL LAW Constitntional Convention to Discuss It This Week HAVANA July 1 During the com ing week the constitutional convention will discuss the electoral law The project submitted by the commission provides only for the election of con gressmen governors state representa tives mayors and councilmen No agreement has been reached as to whether the president and senators shall be chosen by popular vote The discussion of the electoral law will probably open up an argument by the conservatives against a federal republic with many provincial officers as entailing heavy expenditures The conservatives will oppose granting ab solute autonomy to the provinces and municipalities An effort will be made to change the constitution and to in vest the central government with ap pointive and veto power Universal suffrage seems to be u popular movement but the general opinion is that it will be impossible to get the congress to change the form o voting Governor General Wood is improv ing but his physicians advise him to desist from public duties for some time He received the cabinet secre taries yesterday and today Bryan in Washington WASHINGTON D C July 1 Hon W J Bryan arrived in this city this morning

drowned UNITED STATES 5 f IFTH Trade With Switzerland and Exports of Manufactured Goods Increasing1 WASHINGTON July 1 One of the most interesting extracts from the vol ume entitled Commercial Relations of the United States for 1900 was made public Saturday by Fredericic Emory chief of the bureau of foreign commerce dealing with United States trade in Switzerland Consul Gifford stationed at Basel says Switzerlands trade figures are especially noteworthy as showing that this diminutve repub lic about half as large as the state of Maine and which would be swallowed up in big Texas is commercially the most highly developed part of the world Not even industrious Holland or Belgium says the consul can dis play the astonishing figures of 130 of foreign commerce for every unit of its population of barely 3000000 reached by Switzerland These remarkable re sults have been attained by a country without seaports without coal or iron in fact without any considerable quantity of raw material for the man ufactures it has to sell According to Consul Morgan at Aarau Switzerland is almost wholly dependent on the outside world for its well beingj 30 per cent of its entire im portations consisting of foodstuffs and over 40 per cent being raw material which is re exported in the shape of manufactured goods BIO HARVESTS OF GRAIN Wheat Greater Than Ever Corn Good and Weather Satisfactory LINCOLN Neb July 1- I flan say positvely that the prospects for big harvests of grain in this state were never better than they are at present The wheat crop will prob ably be the largest in the history of the state Corn in practically all parts of the state is in good condi tion but a trifle late in growth Ter ritory in the immediate vicinity of Lincoln has been dry recently but all other sections of the state have had good rains and I was unable to find any corn that had been killed by drouth This reassuring information was given by Charles T Neal a grain dealer of Lincoln who had just re turned from an extensive trip over the state He visited nearly all of the grain growing counties and gath ered opinions relative to grain from the best posted men in each commu nity besides making personal inves tigations In some sections corn has been delayed by lack of moisture but the damage has not been extensive con tinued Mr Neal Just at this time corn does not need much rain and unless the dry season is protracted and accompanied by hot winds the cereal will get along well without a great deal of moisture DEPENDS RUSSIAS POLICY Jonrnal of Commerco Attacks Duty on British Parafflne ST PETERSBURG July 1 Con firming statements already telegraphed to the Associated Press the Journal of Commerce and Industry represent ing the Russian ministry of finance explains Russias attitude toward the American duty against British paraf flne manufactured from Russian naph tha The article declares that Secre tary Gages measure was manifestly designed as a reprisal adding that this position is strengthened by the fact that article 626 had never pre viously been so construed It asserts also that Mr Gage did not mention Roumanian naphtha which is likewise imported into Great Britain The contention therefore is that Russias answer in raising the duties on bicycles and rosin is justified Snfforlnsr from Hot Winds KANSAS CITY Mo July 1 Kan sas and Missouri are

for Eng lish Army Against thn Boers LINCOLN Neb July 1 During the last two years Nebraska farmers and stockmen have sold to England over 2000 horses for service in the war in South Africa The price paid has varied from 30 to 90 but the gen eral average has been 35 per head Most of these horses came from the western part of the state aDd were sold at South Omaha or Kansas City where the English purchasing agents maintained headquarters There is still a good demand for the tough an imals known as war horses The dealing just now is inactive but it is said that the purchasing season will soon open and that there will be a ready market for all hordes that can be supplied When England began -purchasing i horses in America the agents demand ed young thoroughbred animals and the price paid sometimes went as high as 100 but they took only animals that were selected with great care and were sound in every bone and fiber The extravangance of these op erations was soon demonstrated and the English agents in America were in structed to be less particular in select ing the animals Horses are extreme ly sensitive to climatic changes and conditions and it was found that even the best American horses could sur vive only about six weeks of active siervice in- the South African war The agents began experiment with common stock and it was found that the ordinary plains or range horses from Nebraska Wyoming Montana or other western territory could do just as effective work and live as long In South Africa as the high priced thor oughbred horse OSCAR SH0USE IS ACCUSED Arrested on
