BLOOD NAY Be- SHE'D
The Steel Strike Situation AS.
sumins a Serious Aspect
at McKeesport.
Management Of Mill. Beginning
to Force the Fight on
Union Labor.
Attempt Will Be Made to Start
Demler Mills With Non.
Union Men.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 26.-McKeesrort
was again the center of interest in the
great steel strike today. Intense excite
ment prevailed there over the fact that
many guards had been sent into the
Demmler tin-plate mills and the report
that arrangements had been completed
to start the works with non-union men
Monday. 1t was said that inasmuch as
the men had struck in spite of the scale
agreement, the company was thru with
the Amalgamated Association and
would resume as soon as men could be
secured. Percy Donner manager of the
Demmler plant kntwn as successful
strike breaker, was in consultation with
the Demmler people yesterday and it is
said he will take charge of the mill. So
ominous was the situation this morning
that Rev. Stuart Sharp hurried to this
city to beg the tin plate company's off,
clals not to attempt to start the mills,
as blood shed would surely follow. The
situation at the Devices Wood plant al
so became more Interesting, when, at 10
o'clock this morning, the management
of the works announced their intention
to start the plant with non-union men
within very few days and That the po-
lice department of Mckeesport would be
looked to to protect the new workmen.
Manager Samuel NJ. Cooper, of the
wood plant this morning. after a
lengthy conference with the head Off
cials of the company in Pittsburg. made
the statement partly as reply to the
cd ift ts-e,, l. nj
keesport. Wednesday, that the company
would get no protection from McKees-
port police department should they de-
eide to start the plant. Cooper said:
We are going to start up within tha
next few days ard we viii look to the
authorities of McKeesport for assist
ance. Should our men be interfered with
we will Insist on the police of McKees-
port doing their duty. If Mayor Black
shall carry out the lines he has laid
down in his statement we will sue him
and the city Of McNeesport. for the De
wees-Wood people are heavy taxpayers
in the city and must be protected" Las;
right the Wood plant was almost de-
serted by the strikers pickets, ho de-
serted their posts and went to Demmier.
Another report that exclted the men
today was to the effect that the COM
rany had sent man, or several men.
70 Winchester, Va. to employ negroes.
Winchester is in the manufacturing dis
trict and competent men ran be had
there. 1T is said. The belief that they
will be brought to McKeesport to break
the strike caused considerable uneasi-
ness.
1t is extremely quiet at Wellsville this
morning. Four mills We're in operation
and Manager Brookman was preparing
to make good his assertion to have the
entire plant in operation Monday, Ii is
said the men are beginning to realize
taht the management is in earnest and
many have notified Brookman that they
will report for duty next week
