The combine's Intentions.

The combine, it is said intends to make aggressive attempts to start more plants this week. They were successful in putting two more mills in opera ton at Painters Monday morning, and now have four mills. with q force of 400 men at work. The mills started were No. l bar mill and No. ' cotton tie mill, The manage ment says that the work being turned out is up to the standard and is be- ing placed on the market. One of the officials announced that he had three more crews engaged, but that thes would not go to work until all the men necessary to operate the six mills had been secured, and then the plant would run at night. He said he was almost certain the entire works would be running at night be- fore the end of this week. More men were taken into the Star plant, of the American Tin Plate Co. and at the Lindsay X McGutcheon works, of the Steel Hoop Co. These mills, the combine officials say, they expect to have in full operation before Satur day.
 Impossible. Say the Strikers.
 The strike managers assert that the resumption of these plants in fnll will be an impossibility, and say the claims of the steel people are not borne out by the facts. They say they scored victory over the manage ment of the Star mills by preventing seven men from entering the plant. and that the plant is not running at all now.
 Nice-President Pierce of the Anal gamated association said there were less men working in the local mills Monday morning than for over week. President Shaffer had heard nothing from Chicago mp to noon. MT. Tighe. he said, did not go out there to get the men to strike, but just to attend the meeting.
 Affairs at McKeesport.
 Advises from MeKeesport are to the effect that no attempt was made to start the Demmler works Sunday night. The furnaces were fired and the plant lighted, but no men ap- peared. Ten regular policemen and large force of pickets guarded the mill all night, but there was no dis order. The situation at all points is reported quiet and no trouble is ex-
