strike will be the greatest In the history
of the country causing hardships for
thousands. But the men are standing for
their rights. and the managers OF the
steel trust know this better than anybody
else
At Johnstown, Pa, the strike will not
affect the 1900 men working in the
mills in that city except the u. s. Steel
corporation Will induce great numbers TO
leave Jamestown to take the places of the
strikers. The mills there are non-unlon.
Five thousand workers in Wheeling and

Of this number 1900 are employed by the
