Jones 4 Laughlin OF PIttsburs Deliver n
Blow to Organized Labor.


Blow to Organized Labor.
PIrTsBURe, Pa, July 1.-THE converting
mill of Jones g. Laughlin will start up to.mor.
row with non-union men. This is a great blow
to the Amalgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers. who have declared. since
the mill closed down for repairs two weeks ago.
that B. F. Jones would never forsake the asso.
citation.
Mr.. Jones is the father of the sliding wage
scale, and he has stuck to the association ever
since it was started. 1t was printed in THE
sUN several weeks ago when Jones s. Laugh.
lin reduced the wages of laborers in their mill.
that one of the objects OF the reduction was to
show the laborers that the Amalgamated Asso.
citation would not stand by the unskilled labor
ers. Sure enough, the skilled men did not aid
the strike of the laborers. and now they can
hardly expect the laborers to help them.
The Homestead strike was started and main.
tanned by the common laborers. who were not
affected by the reduction made at that time in
the wages of about 200 skilled men.
Jones & Laughlin have announced that they
will give the choice to their old employees in
the converting mill, but that they win start up
in the morning at all hazards. They will not
sign the scale.
The big cotton-tie mill of ]. Painter G. Sons
will start up with non-union men tomorrow
morning. The firm has been advertising for
workmen for a week, having refused TO sign
the wage scale presented by the A~malgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers.
