SYMPATHIZERS WITH STRIKING
STEEL WORKERS ATTEMPT
ARSON,
PLAN TO WRECK MONONGAHELA
WORKS DISCOVERED IN
TIME.
NEITHER SIDE IN THE LABOR
CONTROVERSY MAKES
GAINS.
(By Associated Press.)


n ITTSBURG, Aug. 21.-The strike
situation was not materially
changed today.
The feeling of irritation at Wellsville
has been increased by the appointment
of three strike breakers as special off,
GERS to guard the mill of the American
Sheet Steel company, and the police
here have had to disperse noisy crowds,
but there has been no serious trouble
at any point.
1t is claimed an attempt was made
last evening to fire the Monongahela
works of the American Tin Plate COM
pany.
According to a story told today by
John ScIhuster, general labor boss of the
plant, a pressure gauge was knocked
off of an 8-inch gas main and burning
paper thrown into the place with the
idea of destroying it With explosion and
fire.
The strikers Indignantly deny they
had anything to do with any plot to
wreck the plant and are inclined to
discredit Schuster's story entirely.
The promised break in the Carnegie
properties have not yet come.
The strike leaders are trying hard to-
gain a foothold in the Clark mill, which
is running with non-union men, but
that property seems to be going at prac.
tically full capacity.

excuse offered recently has been the

(By Associated Press.)

Chicago. Aug. PA statement ad-
dressed to labor organizations, signed by
IA men who claim to represent the men,
bers of the Amalgamated association
employed in the steel works at South Chi
cago, has been issued
The statement Is an extended argu-
ment in justification of the refusal of the
South Chicago men to violate their con-
tracts with the Illinois Steel company,
and in conclusion the statement says:
'"The principles of union labor are as
dear to us as to any man in the country
who earns his living by honest toll, but
we do not think we should be expected
to violate every rule of business integ-
rity and personal honor for matter Of
sentiment, for this is time when we
must not let our sympathy get away with
our better judgment" 81

Constantinople, Aug. 21.-The French
ambassador, M. Constns, has notified
the sultan's first secretary that all
diplomatic relations between France
and Turkey have been broken off be-
cause the sultan has broken his promise
regarding a settlement of French
claims.
NJ. Constant communicated direct with
the sultan because the latest negotia-
tions were transacted with the sultan
personally.
The ambassador justif1es his action on
the ground that the sultan broke his
direct personal promise, given to Nj.
Constans at an audience in the Yildiz
palace Thursday, regarding the purchase
of the quays and the settlement of the
disputed French claims.
The foreign minister also gave formal
assurances that the agreement would be
carried out. SO, in view of this breach
of faith, M. Constans holds that it Is
impossible for France to continue diplo
matte relations with Turkey.
