TROUBLE
At Mingo Junction
Expected When the Steel
Trust Acts.
Men Have Refused to
Accept a Cut,
So the Trust Has Built a High
Board Fence
And Will Operate Its Plant With
Cheap Labor.

Minso Junction, o., Nov. 19.-(Spl)--
Repetition of the riot scenes at Home
stead in 1892 are expected today,
when the National Steel company will
attempt to start its mills here The
plant has been idle over six months,
the men refusing to accept wage re-
duction amounting to 33 per cent. The
, company has posted notices that a
start with non-union men will be made
in the morning. If an attempt to put
new men in the mills is made rioting
will probably result.
The steel trust has made the same
preparations that the Carnegie com
pany entered into eight years ago and
the strikers are just as determined as
the Homestead men to prevent others
taking their places The mills are
inclosed with high fence topped
with barb wire which, it is said. has
been charged with electricity. Sleeping
quarters, kitchens and dining rooms
have been fitted up in building inside
the fence.
The. strikers received word today
that negroes are to be brought from
the Bellaire mills, where the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel G.
Tin Workers was broken up by the
blacks. The strikers threw out pick
cts all around the plant, and two ne
groes who were on their way to the
mills were stopped near the Ohio river
entrance. They were steel workers,
and said jobs had been promised them.
The strikers turned them toward Bel
laire and told them to leave here as
quickly as they could. The two blacks
lost no time in going. Many of the
strikers are armed, and say they will
resist any attempt to start the mills.
About 800 men are affected

"Going to strike, are you" queried
Steritt, who had not found promises of
direct road to wealth and Wall street
through The Times. "Unionized, are
you? Well, sir, I'm glad to hear 1t, I've
been thinking for some days Of going
on a strike myself. The circulation o:
this concern isn't extremely feverish
and none Of the subscribers will ever
miss us, and II they do 1t will be to our
benefit. The few blocks of white paper

room and worked at the Ceases" while
the printers devil' performed double
duty by acting as the motive power of
the hand press. The foreman during
his younger days had had an argument
with mule, and the scars of that bat
tie which decorated his face had aided
In securing his reputation of being "a
bad man in mixup" Shortly after
the new hand press had begun the
molding of editorials and the sharing
of subscription donations ranging from

Rumors of labor troubles and OF union
