IT IS NEARLY OVER.
Dillon Says the Twenty-Ninth Street
Plant Is Ready
TO RUN In ALL DEPARTMENTS.
Shosnberger e. Co. Prepared to Start on
Iron To.Norrow.
LOOKING FOR THE LADY IN BLACK

All trouble seems to be over at the Thirty
third street and Twenty-ninth street mills
At the former quite crowd remained about
the entrance yesterday discussing among
themselves in groups.
The first rumor which went the rounds
Yesterday was to the effect that the non-
union men at work in the Twenty-ninth
street mill had refused to work with the
batch of colored puddlers brought there by
Mr.. Dillon.
The Lawrenceville men we're elated for
the greater portion of the forenoon until 1t
became clear that somebody was working
within the plant, and then the strikers
changed their minds. That there was
kick of some sort made inside the mill in
the morning is pretty certain, for CONVEX
sation with one of the non-union men who
came out and went down town on some er-
rand confirmed it. What the trouble was
he would not say, except that it started IN
the plate mill. A heat was on at the time,
about $50 A. NJ, and the consequence was
that over arguments it was burnt.
The Teemer Brothers Are Jeered.
Quite a number of the non-union men
came out during the afternoon, but, with the
exception of little persuasive argument
used on them by the strikers nothing of an
exciting nature took place. 1t was reported
Yesterday that seven men left the Thirty
third street mill at $50 P. NJ.
A large crowd had gathered at the corner
of Penn avenue and Thirty-third street yes
terday afternoon when Andy and Jake
Teemer got off a car and made their way
through several groups of strikers to the
mills. They are both heaters, and quite
young men. As they moved along Thirty
third street they were loudly jeered
by the Amalgamated men. The lat
ter claim that only q few have left
their ranks, while they say large number
have left the Thirty-third street plant during
the past two weeks The company officials
deny that a single man has lett his job
During an interview yesterday with MI.
Dillon, that gentleman said: 1--WE don't
know of any strike around here any more.
Why those men keep standing about the
corners don't know"
Have All the Men They Need.
1--WE have all the men we need just at
present, and the strikers know it. Scores
of them have been here looking for their
old Jobs or any other they could get but
we have told them that they cannot get
anv work here now or at any time in the
future. l repeat, they have been here in
droves, Notwithstanding what they might
have told you to the contrary. We neither
want to hear nor see any of them. A
number of them came to me regarding
their jobs at the Twenty-niuth street mill
in the pudding department about a week
ago, and l told them that 1 might
be able to do something for them. Later
told them would employ them and noti-
fed them when to be on hand. When the
time came, however, not one of them
showed up and filled their places with
cnlored men. Then they came around and
asked if they couldn't be pu: to work, but
told them no! The Carnegies don't do bust
ness that way The colored men will keep
their places, and what is more than that our
pudding works Will be run entirely by
colored men hereafter.
VII BE Running Full on Monday.
$50 far the axle, forge, machine shop and
bumper department and the 12-inch mill
and pudding department of the Twenty
ninth street plant are running. and we in
tend to have the mills in full blast early on
Monday morning. We could have started
the guide and 15-inch mills to-day if we
wanted to, but DIDN'T. They will be work.
ing on Monday, however. as we'll as all the
departments OF the city mills"
One of the most interesting features of
the past four days at the Thirty-third street
mill has been the regular daily appearance
of the lady in black" A petit, good
looking woman of about 80 or "a has
been at the Office of the company every day
to see the general manager. 1t is Mrs Bur- /
CESS, the wife of one of the non-union
men who left the ranks of the Amalgamat-
ed men shortly after the strike was de-
clared. Simultaneous with her appearance
has been the continued presence of one
Evans a special officer from McKeesrort,
looking for the "lady in black and armed
apprehension on a series of charges.
Among the complaints on which Mrs. Bur
CESS is wanted by the McKeesport authori-
ties is that of running a speak-easy, offer
ing resistance TO an officer, carrying con-
cealed weapons and the debt of rent and
water bill amounting to S122 so.
