PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 24-The big
steel mill at Duquesne is quiet and the
$50 employees are out on a strike in SYM
pathy with the locked out men at
Homestead.
At 6 o'clock last evening all the work

ers left the mill determined not to re-
turn to work until the Homestead mat
ter shall have been adjusted and the
