From the \. Y. journal.
According to the Judgment Of the mar
ket ut the close of business yesterday
the securities of the United States Steel
Corporation were worth about $50. .000, 600
less than before the outbreak of the
strike. That is u fact that is We'll cal
culated to increase the respect of Mr..
Morgan and his companions for organized
labor. and to show them that strike is
not Il thing to be lightly incurred If il can
he honorably avoided.
The authorities Of the trust have said
and most Of our contemporaries have
FASTENED to take their word for it thai
they are simply protecting the liberty of
their men. They have said that the
strike has been ordered because they have
refused to cnerce the men in thir non
union mills into joining the union.
