THE STRIKE SITUATION.
Both Sides to the Stee, Controversy
Claim to Have Reinforced
Their Lines.
THE OPERATORS HAVE THE ADVANTAGE.
A Rumor Again Current. But rs Yet
Unconfirmed, That IA settlement Is
Under Way, Both sides Seeing
Disaster by Continuing the Pres
ent Strife.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 14.-Both sides
have made material gains in the great
strike being waged against the United
States Steel corporation by the
Amalgamated association. The re-
naming force at the plant of The
National tube works, at McKeesport,
Joined the strikers, and that great
plant is now practically silent. The
strikers also made some gains among
the men at the lower Union mill of
the Carnegie Co., in Pittsburg, but
there is a direct conflict in the claims
made by either side as to the exact
condition of that plant. The strikers
say that they will force it to close
down, while the managers insist that
they have not been hurt, and that
the plant will be kept moving.
Summary OF the situation.
The situation can be generally sum-
married. as follows:
In round numbers the last strike
order by President Shaffer has been
obeyed by 10000 men, and the total
number of men who struck or were
rendered idle by all three orders is
now placed at $4,000 men. The man
ufacturers continue to hold their
ground at Chicago, Joliet, Bay View,
Youngstown, Columbus, the Kiski-
mentas valley, and in all of the Car
negie plant except the lower Union
mill in Pittsburg. In the latter the
strikers have made some gains, but
the general result there is still in
doubt. The steel managers also
count the refusal of the furnace men
of the Mahoning and Shenango val
legs to strike as a victory. The steel
corporation also scored in r%eopening
two mills at the Painter plant, in
Pittsburg. and in forcing the opening
of the Crescent tin plant at Cleve-
land. The strikers scored heavily at
McKeesport, when nearly 5000 men
and boys, employed by the National
Tube Co., joined forces with the strik-
ers and tied the plant up. They claim
to have further extended their or
ganization among the men of the Car
negie mills in this city, and say that
before the end of the week they will
have the works stopped. They also
expect TO completely close down
everything in the Wheeling district.
and assert that the last man will GO
out after the massmeeting to be ad'
dressed by President Shaffer. The
strikers are also completely in con
troll at Bellaire and Mingo Junction
Good order still rules.

On making an investigation in the lower
part of the house Mr.. Wasserbach found
the silverware valued at about $500, packed
up ready for removal but the thieves had
evidently been frightened off without it.

gained through a window in the dining
room, and that the front door was used
as a means of departure, as they were
