There are no special features in the
strike situation. The fight Is being
Waged bitterly with no prospects OF a
settlement. The Frick company claim
larger forces everywhere to-day, and

Mcclure company also report heavier
forces. Labor officials state that large

ers will hold mass meeting at CON

one of whom died in few minutes and
the other cannot live.
