UNION MEN
WILL FIGHT

McKeesport, Pa, April Liza
bor's fight for recognition is still on
although nothing startling developed
today. Despite thesubsidized reports
the friends Of labor and the Devices
Company strikers feel that there Is
no way out Of the present difficulties
but to fight for their rights for they
are sure the gigantic billion dollar
trust the United States Steel CorpO-
ration Will use every means to crush
their organization and compel labor
to bow to capital.
The Devices Wood plant officials
have agreed TO reinstate the dis,
charged union men but they positive
ly refuse to recognize the union of the
men. On this line the trust officials
claim that the men signed an agree
ment last June to the effect that
they would not form an organization
before June !, 1901.
George u. Holloway. pres ldent Of
the local union, acknowledges the
agreement but says the present ac.
tion Of the company is in violation
of the contract ard that the Anal
gamatcd could not afford to counte-
nance the breaking of such contract
The men claim their signatures to
the document in question were Sc
cured by fraud and misrepresentation
They say that Allan Wood, manager
of the Wood Mills, had the agree
ment circulated through the mil. 1t
was in the form of a petition and re-
qucsted the general officers of the
American Sheet Steel Company to
lcavc.thc management of the Wood
Mills as they had been before the
combination was effected and asking
that all matters relative to wages,
etc. be left to arrangement between
employer and employee in the future
as they had been in the past. This
was the way the article was explained
to the men and it was with this un-
ders tanding of the matter that they
signed it.
The men had met for the purpose
of joining the Amalgamatcd Associa-
ton but decided to think the matter
over until Thursday. They are
Swodcs, about 200 in all. The men
voted to remain away tomorrow. The
strikers admit that the men will be
placed to the test Thursday morning
but the leaders think every man will
refuse to obey the order of Manager
Cooper to report or consider them
selves discharged.
The strikers have been quiet and
orderly and no trouble is looked for
unless the trust brings in "scabs. y
IT non-union men are brought here

supply them with food or any other
article they may need,
All trainmen employed on the rail

FIREBUGS AT
NEW CASTLE
DastardIy Attempt To
Burn the Residence of
Mrs Mary kinkead
Last Night.

New Castle, Del, April 1S.-A
bold attempt TO burn the handsome
residence and store OF Miss Mary
kinxcad. Delaware street between
Fourth and Fifth streets, was made
last night. Mayor BOYD aud the
hpollce have started an inyestig alton
hoping TO be able 10 run down the
tirebug, The barber shop of Ed
ward Wise stand about twenty feet
east Of KinkeadS residence. Harry
Ahern, the barber IN charge. was
about to close the shop aud was
conversing with James Clough.
Charles Manson aud Mark Bennett
when they noticed bright light in
the third story window. This waa
something unusual at that hour and
they watched closer and saw that
there was blaze, The locked the
shop and ran TO the kinkead house.
Hastily telling Miss kinkead of
whnt they had seen ran tothe third
story where they found evidence OF
the presence OF the irebug.
This was the most daring at.
tempted arson New Castle ever
known. Following the my s!erious
burning of the Mcknight property
it has aroused Indignation and the
people OF this city are congratula-
ting themselves upon the discovery
OF the fire, When the men reached
the third story room they found a
bag OF shavings and chips and some
hay GU lire vita the bed clothes
over the same. Entrance was
gained to the room from the back of
the building. The iireoug who
committed this desperate act must
have contemplated robbery. Miss
kinkead' house is occupied by
herself and two other ladies. There
ate thousands of dollars worth OF
stock in the store and the tirebug
no doub. had in mind that there
was money in the house. In the
course OF the excitement he or they
would have good chance to work
through the house. This bold act
is the topic ol general conversation
today.
