STRIKE Members of Pittsburgh Typograph ¬ ical Union Walk Out of the Pittsburgh Dailies Pittsburgh Pa Dec 16 The mem ¬ bers of Pittsburgh Typographical Un ¬ ion No 7 have walked out of the of ¬ fices of the Pittsburgh daily news ¬ papers and struck work although the scale or contract between the prin- ters ¬ and publishers does not expire until December 24 They have not struck for higher wages The de mand is that the machinists employ- ed ¬ to care for the linotype machines and who are members of Duquesne lodge No 199 of the International Association of Machinists be forced to become members of the typograph ¬ ical union To accede to this demand would be to violate a contract between the pub- lishers ¬ and the machinists The con- test ¬ of the typographical union there ¬ fore resolved itself into an attempt to disrupt a union of fellow work- men ¬ It is not primarily a dispute be ¬ tween newspaper publishers and print- ers ¬ but a dispute between printers and machinists and an effort on the part of the printers to use the pub ¬ lishers as a club to drive the machin- ists ¬ into the typographical union The present strike is the work of a few contentious men The industrious printers of Pittsburgh with families to support have been forced into it against their will They were not al- lowed ¬ to vote on the proposition at all but were ordered out by some out- side ¬ authorities MEW

pm I regret to report a serious reverse I moved in full strength from our camp near Chievely at 4 oclock this morning There are two fordable places in the Tugela river and it was my intention to force a passage through at one of them They are about two miles apart My intention was to force one or the other with one brigade supported by a central brigade Gen Hart was to attack the lei drift Gen Hildyard the right road and Gen Lytleton was to take the center and to support either Early in the day I saw that Jen Hart would not be able to force a passage and I directed him to with- draw ¬ He had however attacked with great gallantry and his leading bat- talion ¬ the Connaught Rangers I fear suffered a great deal Col I G Brooke was seriously wounded I then ordered Gen Hildyard to advance which he did his leading regiment the East Surrey occupied Colenso Station and the houses near the bridjre At that moment I heard that the whole artillery I had sent to support the attack the 14th and 66th field batteries and six naval -er quick firers under Col Long had advanced close to the river in Longs desire to be within effective range It proved to be full of the enemy who suddenly opened a galling fire at close range killing all their horses and the gunners were compelled to stand to their guns Some of the wagon teams got shelter for troops in e donga and desperate efforts were being made to bring out the field guns The fire however was too severe and only two were saved by Capt Schofield and some drivers whose names I will furnish Another most gallant attempt with three teams was made by an officer whose name I will obtain Of the 18 horses 13 were killed and as several drivers were wounded I would not al- low ¬ another attempt as it seemed that they would be a shell mark sac- rificing ¬ life to a gallant attempt to force the passage Unsupported by ar- tillery ¬ I directed the troops to with ¬ draw which they did in good order Throughout the day a considerable force of the enemy was pressing on my right flank but it was kept back by mounted men under Lord Dundonald and part of Gen Bartons brigade The day was intensely hot and most trying on the troops whose conduct was excellent We have abandoned 10 guns and lost by shell firel The losses in Gen Harts brigade I fear are heavy although the proportion of se ¬ verely wounded I hope is not large The 14th and 66th field batteries also suffered severe losses We have retired to our camp at Chievely London Dec 17 As might have been expected the desperate state of the British arms in South Africa as revealed by the defeat of Gen Bul- ler ¬ at Tugela river where at one stroke he lost treble the number of guns Wellington left in the hands of Napoleon during the six years fight ¬ ing in the Peninsula while adding

bers of Pittsburgh Typographical Un ¬

ion No 7 have walked out of the of ¬

fices of the Pittsburgh daily news ¬

papers and struck work although thescale or contract between the prin-ters

¬

to care for the linotype machinesand who are members of Duquesnelodge No 199 of the InternationalAssociation of Machinists be forcedto become members of the typograph ¬

ical unionTo accede to this demand would be

to violate a contract between the pub-lishers

and the machinists The con-test

¬

of the typographical union there ¬

fore resolved itself into an attemptto disrupt a union of fellow work-men

¬

It is not primarily a dispute be¬

tween newspaper publishers and print-ers

¬

but a dispute between printersand machinists and an effort on thepart of the printers to use the pub¬

lishers as a club to drive the machin-ists

¬

into the typographical unionThe present strike is the work of a

few contentious men The industriousprinters of Pittsburgh with familiesto support have been forced into itagainst their will They were not al-

Gen Duller Waa Attempting to Crossthe Tuarela River Finding It

Impossible He Ordered aRetirement

Gen Buller was attempting to crossthe Tugela river Finding it impossi-ble

¬

Buller to Lansdowne ChievelyCamp Dec 15 620 pm I regret toreport a serious reverse I moved infull strength from our camp nearChievely at 4 oclock this morningThere are two fordable places in theTugela river and it was my intentionto force a passage through at one ofthem They are about two miles apart

My intention was to force one orthe other with one brigade supportedby a central brigade Gen Hart wasto attack the lei drift Gen Hildyardthe right road and Gen Lytleton wasto take the center and to supporteither Early in the day I saw thatJen Hart would not be able to force

a passage and I directed him to with-draw

¬

He had however attacked withgreat gallantry and his leading bat-talion

¬

the Connaught Rangers I fearsuffered a great deal Col I G Brookewas seriously wounded

I then ordered Gen Hildyard toadvance which he did his leadingregiment the East Surrey occupiedColenso Station and the houses nearthe bridjre At that moment I heardthat the whole artillery I had sent tosupport the attack the 14th and 66thfield batteries and six naval -er

quick firers under Col Long hadadvanced close to the river in Longsdesire to be within effective rangeIt proved to be full of the enemywho suddenly opened a galling fire atclose range killing all their horsesand the gunners were compelled tostand to their guns Some of thewagon teams got shelter for troops ine donga and desperate efforts werebeing made to bring out the fieldguns

The fire however was too severeand only two were saved by CaptSchofield and some drivers whosenames I will furnish

Another most gallant attempt withthree teams was made by an officerwhose name I will obtain Of the 18

horses 13 were killed and as severaldrivers were wounded I would not al-

low¬

another attempt as it seemedthat they would be a shell mark sac-rificing

¬

life to a gallant attempt toforce the passage Unsupported by ar-tillery

¬

I directed the troops to with ¬

draw which they did in good orderThroughout the day a considerable

force of the enemy was pressing on myright flank but it was kept back bymounted men under Lord Dundonaldand part of Gen Bartons brigadeThe day was intensely hot and mosttrying on the troops whose conductwas excellent We have abandoned 10

guns and lost by shell firel The lossesin Gen Harts brigade I fear areheavy although the proportion of se ¬

verely wounded I hope is not largeThe 14th and 66th field batteries alsosuffered severe losses We have retiredto our camp at Chievely

ily dealt with At the cabinet meetingFriday the matter was discussed atsome length and it was the generalsentiment that the situation demand ¬

ed Mirorous treatment As long as

the insurgents keep up a show of anarmy under a semblance of disciplinethey will be treated as prisoners oiwar when captured but when theydegenerate into isolated bands of ma ¬

rauders harrassing our forces by coldblooded assassinations it is the judg ¬

ment of the officers in command inthe Philippines and of the presidentand the members of the cabinet thatthe situation demands summary ac-

tion¬

In the discussion of Cuban affairsit was developed that Gen Wood intaking command of the island as mili-

lowed in Santiago province Capableand trustworthy citizens from timeto time will be given positions of re ¬
