MANY DEATHS AND PROSTRATIONS Intense buffering Among the Poorer Clusses in the Great Cities ? \V?i in est Day in Years, now York, Special. ? Monday was the hottest July 1 on record. At 3: 1<> 1>. m., the thermometer at the weather ofllee reached 9s degrees, oni> degree hotter than Sunday. .The records show t ah t In the 30 yeari^ prc:edin on only two days in all that period has a higher temporature been reach ed. These were July 9, lS7ti. and July 3, 180S. On . w renewed 99 degrees. The percen tage of humidity was only M. At'tcn: 3:10 p. m., a decline began until 9 p. in., the thermometer registered 92. Vu Hie early morning hours there was what might be^tenned a light breeze blowing, but u firing the early part of the afternoon the breeze died away and the city was baking in tor rid heat. The suffering in the city, particularly In the crowded tenement house districts, was ruost intense. As the day grew the deaths and prosfra ? tions Increased and although provision whs' made In all the hospitals for this emergency (he authorities were scarce ly able to cope with the great tax made on their "resources. Thtypr were so many ambulance calls the po lice were called on to sifpply patrol wagons and every ambulance did double duty in responding to calls. Many patients wore carried to the hospitals In cabs and carriages and several went fco Bellevue and the Har lem Hospital in moving vans. The prevalence of the grip am'ong..tho horses of the city tended to militate effective work. In many cases horsc-s had to be obtained from contractors to draw patrol wagons and ambulances. Between the hours of 2 a. m.. and midnight there were reported 57 deaths and lil prostrations In tin; boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. Prom jnldnight CU , 9 o'clock 21 deaths~ttnd 36 prostrations had been reported in Brooklyn. ? Although the Weather Bureau shows that the maximum was 9S that does not Indicate the heat on the streets Many thermometers registered 103 at 3:10 and all of .them over 100 on the street level... If the heat was killing on mankind, It was worse on the horses. They dropped right and left. At one time Hi?*.- ??iu eignt dead horses lying on Broadway between Thirty-third street and Forty-second street. There were 14 horses prostrated in the vicinity of Madison Square alone. The rush of the crowds to the parks and to the nearby seashore resorts tonight was unprecedented in the history of the city. It was?noted at the Brooklyn bridge that numbers of men who boarded the cars for Coney Island and other beaches carried blankets in which they intended to roll themselves and sleep on the island. New York, Special. ? At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning the death record for the 24 hours ending at that time in Greater New York was 87. the prostra tion 183.

It is estima ted that 1.1,000 men will )>o subject miv vn^i, "v.'Tfi cn , in connection with the his strike of the American Sheet Steel Company ordered by President Shaffer on Saturday, will affect 000 men. Pre Meat Shaffer said: ? Ti>o Impression that only the mills of t ho American Sheet Steel Company aro affected bj' the decision of Saturday is a mistake. Tho workmen of ail mills I si tho American Steel Hoop Company are interested and will 1>: officially notified that the scale hn^ not been slgntiil and that they will quit work. To the well organizes 1 mill* this notice will be necessary as tli"> men w.ll have watched the situation carefully, but what is known ns op.n mills, where union men havo been al lowed to work side by sldo with tho non-untyn.

This, I believe, will bring the number of men alfected to 5 000. "It Is a matter of regret that tho is sue has boon forced, but it now looks as though it would bo a flgTit to tho death. The Amalgamated Association is not unprepared for it. We havo pot had a general strike for many years and in that time we have not been Idle. We have funds and will use them. Right hero 1 want to e - im an impression wh'ch has been given out that no benefits will be paid strikers until two months have elap sed. The Amalgamated -Association will begin at once to take care of its people." Mr. Shaffer concluded l>y saying: "I will say now what I said to Mr. Smith, general manager of the Sheet 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 extreme to which this ttrike will go once it is. on." Youngstown, O., Special ? In order to take inventory the mills in Youngs town is qu the Mahoning val ley of tbe llopubilc. Iron and Steel Company will close f;;r two weeks. The mills here and at other points inUhe Mahoning and Shenango valleys .which are own ed by the American Steel Hoop Com pany will remain idle pending a set tlement of the scale question. An offlelal said: "The company was willing to sign the scale agreed upr.n by the Republic Iron and Steel Com pany and t f<?r the same mills for which they signed last ywr, but tha Amalgamated men insisted that they must also sign for certain Pittsburg mills and others which tho company owns in the East and this the com pany declined to do, and thus the ma', ter stands."
