P1TrsBURG, May 3-Fifty skilled work
men in the 33-inch beam mill of the Car
negie Steel works have quit work. They
refused to accept the reduction stipulated
in the new scale, and as a result struck for
higher wages The reduction is from 81
cents to 26 cents per ton. The superin-
tendent of the mill says the vacancies can
easily be filled. The former union men
look upon the trouble as victory for
them. 1t is said they intend returning to
work to get even with the present strikers,
who accepted their positions last summer.
1t Is reported that all other workmen in
different departments of the mill are dis
satisfied with the scale, and will follow
the example of the 33-inch mill workers
