The strike of steel mill workers
against the trust company up to
date shows that about 10000 men
are out. They have lost wages to-

and the companies affected have
lost nearly double that amount.
This means the withdrawal from
circulation or business about ten
million dollars. 1t is not only
those out on strike or the immedi-
ate community in which the strik-
ers live that is affected, but it goes
far beyond that and affects the
business of vast amount of con-
