Force Of N~on-Inion Men.
p~ittsburg. Aug. pa party OF Strike
breakers brought up from the South by
snecial train were safely delivered in
the steel mill at Monessen early yester-
day morning and the United states
steel corporation expects to ADD tha'
plant to the rumber running partly OF
in full with non-union men within the
next t~wenty-four hours. The Carnegle
properties also resCmed last hish'
without a break in the forces operating
them, and that fact Joined with a prom
Use of an early start at Monessen ieads
the steel officials here TO take a very
hopeful view of the situation. Inc
strikers claim hat men enough 10 start
the Mcnessen mills annot be obtained
and that they have not yet shown their
hand ut Duuuesne and the other Carne-
gle plants. u promise that later de-
velopmentS will indicate their strength
to better advantage. 1t was anticipated
that there would be trouble when the
n~on-union men reached Monessen, for
the strikers were watching the railways
and river and had expressed a deter
mination TO prevent the entrance OF the
strike breakers. The men who were

their actions, however, and had their
| charges safely within the plant hours
before ii was known definitely by n
one on the outside that the men a
arrived. They were brought to Mones-
sen by special train and were landed at
4 o'clock in the morning. 1t is not
known how many men were in the
party nor where they were obtained.
The mills are guarded and the men
will be kept on the premises until all
danger of trouble leases. Bunks Tor
about fifty men have been erected n
large quantities Of foo lave been pur-
chased for them. A fence has been
thrown aroun the property and guards
posted to keep out all intruders. The
strikers will undoubtedly make an ef-
fort TO induce the strike breakers to
quit, and the fear is expressed that
| there will be trouble if any demonstra-
ton is made against the men or prop
erty. The situation there Is regarded
as very delicate. The steel managers
may succeed in getting another mill on
to-day at Painters mills. Two mills
were operated last week
with Non-Union Men
and perhaps another crew may be OBJ
tanned to-day. AS soon as enough men
are obtained another mill will be
started. There is talk OF the possibility
| OF an extension of the strike to, other
trades. The structural ironworkers n
bricklaycrs are becoming directly in
terestcd through the question of hand
ling material made by the United
States Steel corporation. The strike
leaders say lat they have the absolute
promise of support from those two
trades, and that they will refuse TO
handle non-union-made material. They
cite a number OF instances where the
structural men and brick masons have
show their sympathy n spirit.
Opinion is divided here as TO the ulti-
mate action of the Chicago men. AS
sistant Secretary NJ. +. Tighe Is gem
orally understood to be working among
the Chicago rnen n some confidence
Is expressed in his ability TO bring them
| over. President Shaffer is cited with
Sc wing that they. care more about the
mora! effect of getting the strikers out
than they do in the impairment of the
mills there.
! Quiet at Joliet.
Joriet, ILL.,. Aug. 2O.-Au is quiet in
Joliet. The men are busy perfecting
plans for keeping the local situation
well in hand. At the meeting of the
lodges yesterday interest centered in
the reports from South Chicago. Great
hopes are entertained by the leaders
that South Chicago will follow the lead
of Joliet and Bay View. A joint meet
ing of the four lodges has been called
for to-day. No attempt to start up the
plant here is anticipated this week.
The wire mills will be compelled TO
shut down before the end of this week.
This will throw out 1000 additional
men.
