UNIoNTowN, Pa, June % The twelfth
week OF the strike ends tomorrow with
both side apparently ~ determined as at
the first. The operators will agree to
nothing short of unconditional surren-
der. Cost is not being coLsdered by
them.
A few of the large number of men
brought into the region refuse to work
declaring that the conditions were mis-
represented TO them before they came.
But the large majority are at work, and
more ovens are being fired every day
The strike LEADERS, ray they do not care
for this kind of resumption because the
coke costs nearly twice AZ much as it will
bring in the market.
But the operators are steadily cvicting
strikers and putting new men and their
families into tho houses, in pursuance Of
the general determination TO force the
foreigners out of the region. This fact is
giving the Stays more trouble than any
thing else, because they see that their
places are gone il they do not win the
strike. With few exceptions the evictions
are all OF foreigners, though the English
speaking are in manv instances the more
determined aud persistent strikers
But it will take the operators all sum-
mer to win at the present rate. They
claim to have 1910 ovens burning. while
the strikers report only 34S9 OF this
number the Prick company has Hap.
Mcclure 564, Rainey 952. Southwest
Code 90, Cochran 255, Vosvetter 20,
West Newton ITO, Furnace ovens 34l.
