Strike in Illinois and Pennsylvania Mills
Managers of Works at Pittsburg
Concede Demands of Strikers.
CHICAGO, May Twelve hundred
men emploved in the blast furnace de-
partment Of the Illinois Steel Co.'s
mills, at South Chicago, quit work
this morning. Two furnaces are shut
down as a result, and the strikers eX-
pect that they have sympathizers
enough to spread the ~disaffection to
other departments. It is likely that
the four other furnaces may be COM
PEELED to suspend. The strikers claim
tnat not enough men are employed In
the blast furnaces work to divide the
LABOR fairly, and that they are not g.
celVlng wages that will enable them to
i've. Two years ago the men claim
d a they were being paid 81 10 a day
Tor work that they now do in twelve
hours for 81 so. Everything is quiet
and orderly at the mills.
JOLIET, Ill, May 7.-Firemen, labor
ers and greasers to the number of 800
employed at the Illinois Steel Com
pany's mills here struck yesterday for
an advance IN their wages of from Is
to 80 per cen The strike of these men
made it impossible to continue running

midnight, throwing 1900 men out of
work.
SHARON, May THE furnace men
at the Douglas and Mable iron furnaces
have struck and refuse to return with
out an additional advance in wages.
The demand is for an advance of 10
cents per day for labor; Is cents per
day for turn work, and Is cents per
day for the keepers. The employees
of the Alice and Clam furnaces in
Sharpville have also made a like de-
mand, but have not yet stopped work.
It is the presumption that every fur
mace in Sharon, Middle sex and Sharp
vile, will be banked this week. The
manufacturers say they cannot pos
sibly pay the demands of their men. It
is also possible that the strike may
again involve the furnaces In the entire
MahOning valley.
PITTsBURG, Pa, May. 1.-THE Anal
gamated Association officials are great
" elated to-day over the receipt of
signatures of the management of Sligo
Iron Works to the wage scale. The
firm comedies the demand of the work
ers in all departments Of the mill and
work will be resumed at once, giving
employment to about 400 men.
This is the third victory of the kind
within the past "a hours for the Anal
gamated Association. and it is thought
possible that the strike may not extend
much further. There are no other
changes in the situation up to the hour
of 9 p. m.
