Pnrolr 11 .MUliiltc.
It II. Olmsted I think the parolo of
Hartley Is a mistake. 1 ilon't l;now what
reason ihb governor had to release him,
hut 1 do no' see why he should havo Iicpii
preferred to nny other prisoner who lm
been tried and convicted of a grave offense.
I am ccttalnly opposed to treating a man
who has held a high placo In the estima
tion of the. pulillc ami has hctrayed the
ronr.clciu'o of his friends better than tho
ordinary criminal Is treated.
A P. Cullcy, loup City -On reflection
1 desire to nay I am in perfect accord
with I ho lunguaKe, both expressed and
Implied, In the remarks or Governor Snv
nge In The ilee, which clearly Indicates
tliero will bo made a restitution of nil, or
a good part, of the moneys misappropriated
by Hartley. Under theso circumstances It
In purely n business proposition and the
tatc should diul with IhU matter In thu
samo mnnner n pood business man would
under similar circumstances. Th'i tax
payers wnnt this money, or ns much as
can be had, covered back into the treas
ury. This Is all they could hope for or
expect. Tho loss of personal character
and honor, when ono becomes n felon, with
most men In Infinitely worso than phys
ical don't h and Justice Is no longer con
served by continued revenue and protracted
punishment when n fair settlement - can
be had.
Howard if. llaldrlge I am not prepared
to discuss tho Kovcrnor's action, for the
leason that I do uot know the conditions
under which Hartley hao been paroled.
As 1 understand thu law, a prisoner once
paroled cannot bo put back Into prison
unless he violates tho conditions of the
par'de and until we learn the conditions
exacted of Hartley we will be unable to
know vhtlher or not be Is likely to be put
back Into the penitentiary nt tho expira
tion of the two inoutho. I think the kov
crnor ousht to make tho conditions of tho
parole public. 1 don't believe Hartley Is
In a pnrltlon to restore nny of the money
lost to the state.
Dr. V?. r. Mllrcy I think tho Rnvcrnor
has made a tnlstnko In letting Hartley
out, but there may bo something which
has not yet been made public to warrant
the parole. As the case looks at present
wo can only observe I hat such actions
as this by the chief executive of the stnto
overturn the object of punishment for
crime.
K. A. Henfon It strike) me ns n rather
itraiigo proceeding and I would rather not
discuss It. I am inclined to charity nnd
mercy toward such unfortunate men ns
Hartley.
Considered nit OutrnKP.
Dr. A. n. Somcrs I don't, of courso, know
what the conditions Imposed by Uic gov
ernor are. I look upon tho letting him out
of the penitentiary as an outrage, t don't
think tho governor had any right to liberate
Hartley without letting tho people know
what tho conditions arc.
T. .1. Nolan It's Just what I expected. It's
Just what I told tho pcoplo would happen
In that emergency whllo campaigning last
fall.
Leo Herdman I don't care to discuss the
subject.
H. P. Hodgln I don't know what to think
of It, tho action of - Governor Savage was
such a curprlso to everyone. It's u funny,
thing to do and I can't understand what
prompts It. I supposo Hartley has suf
fered everything that a man can suffer, but
It doc?n't seem right to lot him go In that
way. Wo can't tell, however, until wo see
what comrs out of It whether the governor
Is right or wrong. '
Judgo I.ee Estelle It was a great sur
prise to me, but I take It that the governor
must have some good reason for his action
and samn good purpose In view nnd per
haps no one should condemn him until It Is
learned from events Just what his purpose
Is.
N'o Itcnaon for n I'nrolr.
Louis J. PlattI I don't see nny reason
why Hartley should he paroled nny inoro
than any other criminal.
Henry G. Strclght I don't know any
thing ofitho particulars of tho Hartley caso,
but as a general proposition I am not In
favor of letting a man who has been sen-

tenced to tweuty jears off after he has
served only threo or four years. 1 thlnl;
the governor has made a serious mistake.
J. V Carr Governor Savage's action
places a premium on big crimes. It puts
tho thought In many minds that strong
political or personal Influence or a heavy
puiso will get any man who hns com
mitted a great crime out of prison. 1
can't conceive of any reason for tho gov
ernor's action.
J. K. Miller, Cigar Dealer I don't be
lieve It was wise to parole Hartley. Paroles
nnd pardon are getting to Lo altogether too
common hero lately and after a while It
will got so the criminal classes will count
on them and tho law will have no further
terrors and therefore no power to dis
courage crime. If tho courts are going to
continue to command respect the sentences
they Imposo should be carried out without
Interference.
Money fur the Mtntr.
II. II Peters, Manager Merchants' Hotel
I believe that If I had been In tho gov
ernor's place I would havo done the same
thing. Of course we don't know what tho
conditions arc that ho will Imposo, but It
Is reasonable to suppose that they will In
cludo tho restitution of at least n part
of the shortage. If this Is the case, then
tho move Is a wise one. It will moan a
neat sum of money for the state, and so
far as Hartley Is concerned, my opinion
Is that ho has been punished enough. To
continue him In prison will not make the
lesson any plainer
U. J. Howell, Traveling Salesman, Aurora,"
Neb. I don't think It will do any harm to
glvo the man his freedom at this time. He
has had tho sympathy of the people for a
long while nnd the state will derive more
benefit from the money In Its treasury
than from tho man In Its penitentiary.
C. K Hutler, Cigar Dealer nartley, to
my way of thinking, ought to bo required
to serve out his term. There are scores
of other men in tho Ncbrnska penitentiary
who no doubt are more deserving of free
dom than ho Is, but because they lack In
fluence they don't get It. All this tnlk
of uymp.ithy for his family Is bosh. So
have tho other men families. He should
have thought of thtfm before he committed
tho crime.
D. D. Moore, Clgnr Dealer Four years
In the penitentiary Is a long tlmo and In
ray opinion It will go as far toward mak
ing a man rcallzo the enormity of his
crlmo ns twenty years, Tho state doesn't
want to be put In the nttltudo of perse
cuting Its criminals. I approve the gov
ernor's action.

LINCOLN", .July 14. (Special Telegram.)
Joseph S. Hartley was kept busy today
receiving congratulations on his parolo
from the penitentiary. Ho wan constantly
besieged by visitors and nt noon telegraph
and telephouo messages from friends over
tho state began to como In. Karly this
morning ho rodo about the city with a
neighbor, but otherwise ho remained at
home all day surrounded by his overjoyed
family,
"I Intend to remain In Lincoln," declared
Mr. Hartley when questioned as to his
plans. "Thcro Is constdcrablo work before
mo and I can attend to It Just as well hero
as anywhere clso. I am net ashamed to
face tho people for anything I havo done
and aB I havo said before I don't Intend
to run up n white flag."
When questioned concerning the rcqulrc
mentn imposed upon him by the governor,
Mr. Hartley said: "It would be unwise for
mo to discuss those matters nt this time.
I probably could glvo tho newspapers ma
terial for a good story, but 1 don't care
to do so now. I may In tho future havo
something to say and when I do It will bo
given to the papers."
The parole of Hartley has been the solo
subject of conversation hero today. The
news was kept from the public last night,
but today ths newspapers rapidly spread
tho Information. As announced In Tho
Heo this morning tho parole Is limited to
sixty days, subject to extension under con
iltlons Imposed by tho governor. Tho
other newspapers erroneously reported that
the pnrole was without limitation.
Just what the conditions Imposed by tho
governor nra Is not fully known, as tho
executive will only say that Bartliy must
keep good conduct nnd report to Whedon
and tho warden. He has neither denied
nor affirmed tho conjectures that Hartley
will bo required to return part of the
money or tell who got It,

AMALGAMATED STRIKE IS ON
Trssldtnt Shaffer's Orders t Continue
Etmggls Will B Obeyed.
DETERMINED TO FIGHT IT OUT TO THE END
Utile I'mnpeet (if it it IIinlliiK In the
."cur I'nt 11 r. Will Affect Jinny
1'liinti Tliroimliout tin
State.
I'lTTSnURU, July 14. From present In
dications It looks probable that Brosldciit
Shaffer's strike order, Issued last night
to tho AtnalKamatcd association members
In the employ of the American Steel Hoop
company, thu American Sheet Steel com
pany and the American Tlnplatc company,
will bo obcyul and tho great strtlKRle be
tween tho Amalgamated association and
tho steel companies will bo on In earnest
tomorrow.
In the union mills of tho three com
panies against which a strike has been
declared It Is predicted that not n wheel
will turn tomorrow. An effort will be
made also to close down sonic of tho non
union mills of the companies nnd to crip
plo the rest. The Amalgamated pcoplo
aru very sanguine of success.
"Tho strike was not of our own seek
ing," said President Shaffer todav. "It
wai forced upon us. We were not con
tending for wages, hut for principle for
self-preservation. The tin and sheet peo
ple will not be nblo to turn u single wheel
tomorrow. Wo havo our forces thoroughly
organized nnd thcro will bo some Mir
prloes In store. I havo not henrd today
from a sluglo lodgo In answer to my strlko
order, but an answer Is not necessary. Tho
order will be promptly obeyed by all our
men. Hut there will be 110 trouble. Labor
organizations have changed. The Amalga
mated association Is not the association,
It wus twenty years ago, not even five
years ago. Tho men nre more readily
controlled; In fact, wo have our men under
control."
Developments today Indicate that Pitta-
burg Is going to be n pretty lively strike
center. Thu mo.U Interest attaches to tho
"Painter mill" on tho south fide and to
that of Lindsay and McCutcheon In Al
legheny. Both mills are controlled by tho
American Stcol Hoop company nnd havo
hltlu'i'to been nggronslvcly nonunion, and
much depended upon tho action taken by
the men In thtsc plants. Tim employes of
both mills held open meetings today and
both decided to strike tomoriow. Thu
Painter mill employes about 100 men nnd
the Lindsay & McCutcheon mill about 300.
I. W. Jenks, manager of the Amorlcan
Steel Hoop company, snld tonight he had
heard of the attempt to he made lo tlo up
tho two mills, but ho had heard such strlko
talk for several months previous. Mr. Jenks
said that tho mills would resume tomorrow
morning ns usual.
AVIirro It Conli;r.
Tho fight at the Painter mill Is to be mad5
the center of tho strike. Thero will bo stub
born resistance. If tho Amalgamated peo
ple can closo tho mill they bcllevo they will
havo won tho greater part -fit tho strlko.
Tho mill Is not only an Important one, but
the Steel Hoop company has for years suc
ceeded In thwarting the efforts made to
unlonlzo It.
Presldont Shaffer was asked today If ho
had sot a tlmo when, no settlement having
been Affected, ho would extend tho strlko lo
all the subsidiary steel companies of the
United States Steel corporation. Ho ald
ho must decline to make his plans known nt
the present tlmo.
It may be snld, however, on the strength
of reliable Information that tho strike
within Its present limits Is Intended merely
as a show of strength.
At the conference last week the rep
resentatives of the steel corporation wore
repeatedly warned that the association was
much stronger than they know. They woro
told of the organization of mills of which
they had 110 knowledge. Hut the strcl
men would not believe that the association
was as strong ns It was claimed to be.
Thus It It, bolloved tho first purposo of the
association Is to show Its strength by con
fining tho strlko to the threo companies.
When tho show of strength hns bocn made,
whatever It may provo to be, the asso
ciation expects tho companies to ask for
another conference. If the companies show
no Inclination to mnko n settlement tho
strike will be extonded to threo more com
panies, If the trust will not yield then
tho strike will bo extended to such In
dependent compa'nlcs us sell their finished
products or raw materials to companies
against which a strlko has been declared.
Should tho strike attain such proportions
It would be likely to go still further. Tho
Amalgamated association nnd tho Federa
tion of Labor two years ago formed a
secret allianco, It Is claimed, which agreed
that the association when on strlko could
also call out the steel men of tho federa
tion. Tho latter has organizations In many
mills whoHo workmen aro not eligible to
membership In tho association.
Four TIioiiniiiiiI Afft-ctrd nt Xewnntlc.
A report from Newcastle, Pa., tonight
says: Fully 4,000 men were affected In this
city by tho Amalgamated strlko. Of theso
2,000 nre employed In the Shenango plant
and 1,-tOO In tho Oroer plant of tha Amer
ican Tlnplata company and 600 at the steol
plant of tho National Steel company. Ttis
men of tho latter mill wcro not called out
by President Shaffer, but notices were
posted thero todny stating that the plant
will not bo In oporatlon tomorrow. Tho hot
mills departments of both tho Oreer and
Shenango plants will bo ldlo tomorrow, af
fecting COO men at tho former and 900 at tho
latter. These departments aro maimed ex
clusively by Amalgamated men.
Tomorrow morning not one wheel will bo
turned In either the Greor or Shenango
mills, the largest plants of tho kind In tho
country. Tho men aro ready for a long
strlko, as they have been preparing for this
light for months.
A report from Connollsvllle says: The
employes at tha Humbert plant of tho
American Tlnplatc company at Connells
vlllo aro hanging In the balance tonight.
They do not know just how tho situation
stands and aro awaiting for tho other tin
plate plants to take tho lead. Tho Humbert
mill Is known ns a non-union mill.
Greenville Men Kuvnr Staying Out.
At Oreenvllle some 700 men will bo af

aro favorablo to a holdout to tho end !n

The local mill shut down two weeks ago on
account of extromo hot weather, but the
men were anxious to go on If matters wero
adjusted.
The report from New Kensington tonight
Is: In compliance jvlth President Shaffer's
strlko order tho members of the Amalga
mated association employed In the Pittsburg
and Pennsylvania plants of tho American
Tlnplatecompany at this will not resume
work tomorrow. Although tho men oro
disappointed that their troubles could not bo
amicably settled thoy declare that they aro
now In better Bhape to withstand a long
fight than ever before and no matter what
demand their leaders may mako It will bo
approved of by the workers hero, for thoy
will stand ns a unit to obtain tho conces
sions demanded, Should tho strike be pro
longed It will affect about 950 men. What
action will be taken by tho tlnhouso em
