I'lTTSUUna, Pa., July 26. The National Tubu Works company at McKeciport has mado nn unexpected raovu Intended to checkmate tho Amalgamated association. Their skilled workmen have been asked to sign Individual contracts to practically re pudiate any union labor, and they have been given but a hort time to think tho matter over. It Is understood that should they not slnn tho contract they lll find their positions vacant. The ax Is expected to toll tomorrow. It transpired today that late Thursday evening tho COO welders of tho mills woro pnld olf nnd then taken into tbo office of the Kenurnl superintendent, where they woro presented with Individual contractu to bo slsncd for at least a year. Somo do murrcd, while othors signed tho contracts. This movement, flKhtliiR flro with fire, carried consternation Into the rankB of tho strikers. Tho welders nro highly skilled workmen and with their cooperation tho big plant might bo closed down. With them In lino tho plant will probably keep on run ning as though nothing had happened. It was Intimated tonight by friend of tho welders that they would all sign tho con tract. Deflulto announcement that tho officials of tho Amerlcun Sheet Steel company would Rtnrt tho W. IJowees Wood mill In Mc Kcesport as a nonunion plant on Monday reached tho headquarters of the Amalga mated association, early today. Tho news was received In sllenco. That the move ment would 'not b6 permitted to be-made without n' decided' attempt to chu6k It was shown by long and earnest conferences that took piano during tho afternoon In l'rcsl dent Shaffer's ofllco. As viewed by manufacturers not lntor csted directly with tho strlko the situation was summed up today In this way: Tho strlko i not affecting the United States Steel corporation h seriously as was ex pected by tho Amalgamated association. The feeling of tho leading officials of tho trust Ik that tho strlko will not last long nfter tho summer weather Is passed. That this Is tho belief Is Indicated by tho llttlo effort that tho company Is making to force Its mills. Into operation. If tho officials of thu United States Steel corporation seri ously believed that the strike was going to bo a long one, they would undoubtedly have mailo somo organized movemeut for break Ing tho strlko beforo this. liny Open Aliirnilrmtr. At McKocsport this morning Intenso ex cltcmont prevailed over tho fact that many guards have been sent Into tho Demmlor tlnplatn mills, and tho report that arrange ments hod been completed to start tho works with nonunion men on Monday. It was said that Inasmuch as the men had utruck In splto of tho scalo agreement, tho company was through with tho Amalga mated association nnd would . resume as soon as men could bo received. Percy Donncr of tho Monessen plant, known as ft succexsful strlko-brcakcr, was In consult ation with tho Demmlcr peoplo yesterday, nnd lt wnB said that he was to take chargo or, inc. mill. Soi ominous was tho situation this morning Rev. Stuart Sharp hurried to Ibis city to beg tho tlnplato officials not to nttomp,t to atart tho mills, ns bloodshed would surely follow. Tho situation nt tho Dowecs-Wood plant niH uecanio more Interesting when at 10 o'clock this morning, the management of tho works announced Its intention to start tho plant nonunion within a very fow days, and that the pollco department of McKees port would bo looked to to protect the. now workmen. Manager Samuel M. Cooper of tho Wood plant this morning, after a lengthy conferenco with head oftlclals of tho company in Pittsburg, mado a statement In roply to tho edict Issued by Mayor Black of McKocsport Wednesday that tho com pany would get no assistance from tho Mc Kecspnrt police department should they do cldo to start tho plant. Will Ileninud Protection. Mr. Cooper said: "Wo nro going to start up within tho next few days, nnd wo will look to the authorities of McKocsport for assistance. Should our men bo Interfered with wq will InsUt on tho pollco of McKccs port doing their duty. If Mayor Black should carry out tho lines ho has laid down In his statbmont wo will sue him and tho city of McKccsport, for the W. Dcweea Wood people aro heavy taxpayers In tho city nnd must bo protected. Last night tho Wood plant was almost deserted by tho strikers' pickets, who left their posts nnd went to Demmlor, Another report that excited tho men today was to the effect thnt tho company had sent n man or several men to Winchester, Va., to employ negroes. Tho belief that thoy will bo brought to McKocsport to break tho strike hn caused considerable uneasiness. It was extremely quiet at Wollsvllle this morning. Four mills were In operation nnd Manager Ilrookmau was preparing to make good his assertion to have tho entire plant In operation on Monday. It Is said tho men aro beginning to realizo that the manogo tnent la In earnest nnd manv have notified Mr. Ilrookman that thoy Will report for duty. Tomorrow will bo pay day and tho men will receive tholr wages for time worked boforo tho strike. Somo excitement was raused by the report that a well outside the plant bad heen poisoned nnd that two strike lirenKers living in tho mill had been taken violently 111. The placing of a guard over nn urtcslait well nearby gavo color to tho report, but It wbb stated nt the mill that thoro was no sickness nnd that tho guard was merely n precaution. Cull Off Mil .Mrptlng. Tho giant mass meeting of union men, which was to have been held on tho public squaro here, tonight, has been called off. The leaders of tho Amalgamated association fear that they would bo hnablo to keep such a crowd of men lu control nnd fear thnt n riot might ba precipitated that would cct tho association tho sympathy of the general public. The only chnngo In the local situation was tho closing down last night of the open hearth furnaces at Clark's.

The order has gone forth that now tha men have struck the furnaces will bo dls mantled. Tho plant Is still guarded by epe clal watchmen, but the city policemen have been withdrawn. At the Amalgamated offices tho officers of the association said that they had heard of no changes of importance In the strlko at any point. The reports concerning alleged moves on tho unorganized men of the Du quesno mills of the Carnegie company wero not credited In tho Amalgamated headquar tere. A McKeesport' Pa., dispatch says: Tho present Indications are that tho employes or too rational Tube company of McKecs port will go out on a strike cither tomor row or next week. The majority of the employes have Joined tbo Amalgamated as soclatlon nnd although their pay was nd vanccd on July 1, they propoe to strike to uphold tho association. A .Monessen dispatch says tho outlook Is for tho early closing of the tin mill. Tho men nro wavering and tho organizers say incy aro meeting with much more encour ngemont. The management Is taking extra precautions to prevent tho strlkors from gaining entranco to tho mill. Coiiiinrnt nt the I.nlior World. Commenting on tho strike spreading to other industries, tho Labor World, n lead ing labor organ of western Pennsylvania, In tbls week's Issue editorially says: "A dls patch from Washington says n general meeting of labor leaders will likely be held there to discuss tho ndvlsnblllty of calling a general strike of all trades In sympathy with the steel workers. Such talk Is un adulterated nonsense and does moro harm than good. All sensible labor leaders dls courago It. President Shaffer has done so. Thero Is nothing moro foreign to tho prln clples of unionism than tho sympathetic strike, and tho rumors only fortify tho om ploycra In tho argument that wage con tracts with laborers aro not sufficiently binding, and to mako them binding labor or ganizations should bo Incorporated. I.ct us hear no more of this foolish, harmful and unauthorized sympathetic strlko talk." Iliiima Mnj- Mediate. CLEVELAND, July 26. Iteferrlng to the statement that ho would bo asked to act as mediator botween tho Amalgamated asso ciation and tho United States Stocl corpo ration, with n view to reaching a settle ment of tho strike, Senator Hanna said to day: "I know nothing about tho matter asido from what has been published Whothor I would bo willing to act as a mediator I do not now caro to say. Tho strlko has been most unfortunate, not only for thoso directly affected, but for tho country at large. I sincerely trust that the trouble will soon bo amicably adjusted."

CITY TREASURER'S BOND IS AT STAKE Itond to Itltcr Opened Via Missouri Avenue nnd Itesldent of Thnt TlioriiiiKhfnrc Clnmor for Street Cnr Service. An advertisement Is running In the of ficial paper of the city calling upon tho banks to submit bids for deposits, theso bids to be filed with tho city clerk not later than 5 p. m. Monday, July 29. One of the requirements of the new chnrtcr Is that banks must bid for city deposits and that nil bidders must give a bond In the sum double the amount of money on hand at any one time. As tbo bank statement published In yes terday's Deo shows, tho banks hero nro In a flourishing condition and the deposits show a decided Increase over the stntement mado to tho comptroller of the treasury on April 24, ThlB condition of affairs Is ono of tho reasons why tho bnnks will not bid for city deposits, neither will they fur nish bonds to the city for any deposits which may be made. An officer of ono of tho National banks eatd last evening: "Thoro Is so llttlo money In tho city treasurer's hands at this time that It will not bo worth while to make a bid for deposits. Just now the city has to Its credit not moro than $15,000 In cash and this sum Is liable to bo checked out nt any time. It can therefore bo readily seen that tho bnnks will have nothing to gain by bidding for tho city's account." If no bids nro received the city officials will bo up against a proposition. Unless a depository of funds Is deslgnntcd by tho council In compliance with tho now char ter and a bond furnished by tho depository tho surety companies will not give City Treasurer Koutsky a bond. Tho "treasurer Is compelled by tho char ter to furnish n surety bond In tho sum of $100,000. This has not yet been done, although tbo charter has been In forco for a couple of months or more. The first excuse given was that tha books should be chocked. This was done by an oxpert, who reported to the council that the records of the office were In excellent shnpo and that nil thu cash on hand was In bank. Now comes tho depository proposition and If Borne arrangements ennnot be mado with ono of tho thrco nntlonnl banks hero to handle the city funds, according to tho provisions of tho charter, the personal bond of Treasurer Koutsky will continue lu force until the expiration of his term. Even should this occur tho intent of the charter will not bo compiled with, as It provides specifically for a surety bond from all city officials. This problem Is causing tbo city officials to do considerable thinking. Itond to ltlver Opened, City Engineer Deal stated last evening that a road to the river was practically opened via Missouri avenue. Tho fencing of tho portions of tho Kountzo tract was completed yesterday and tho grading to be dono by the city Is practically finished, Every detail of tho agreement between the city and Mr. Kountzo has been compiled with and thero Is now an open road to tbo river. A great deal of work Is to bo dono yet by tho Pontoon Urldgo company In order to make a secure landing. East of the Durllngton tracks thero Is a large sand bar, which will havo to be worked, over In order to make a passage to the ferry boat. A corduroy road will most llkoly bo built by the ferry company across this sandbar. Then a wharf will havo to be constructed for a landing. This work has already been planned by Engineer W. S. King, who has charge of tho work for the Pontoon Rrldge company. It l expected that tho ferryboat will be running within tho next ton days. Concerned Aliont Improvement.
