 Pittsburg, July 25.-SteeI strike de+ yelopments of the last twenty-fOur hours indicate that the company's forc- es at Wellsville are slowly accomplish@ ing their intention of operating the plant with non-union men. Yesterday afternoon and last night number of new men succeeded in eluding the strik- CTS and getting inside the works and before to-day is over a fourth mill is expected to be in operation. The sit+ uation at Wellsyille is acute and there is no doubt the condition of affairs , there, with the rumored injunction pro- ceedings, caused President Shaffer to make his mysterious trip to that place yesterday. It is believed that his miss sion was to prevent any possible cause for the interference of the courts by impressing on the strikers the imports ance of remaining orderly. Manager Brookman of the Wellsville plant to- l day said that every mill in the plant | would be running full handed by next | week
 At McKeesport all remains quiet in | the vicinity of the Dewees Wood plants l The strikers seem now almost cOnvinc- | ed that no effort will be made to start 1 the mills in the near future. The de- claration of Mayor Black last night | that he would not permit deputies in l the idle mills or allow the city police to guard the company's property has> caused a sensation, and the mayoIs awakened this morning to find himseln l the most popular man in town. . l Chicago, July 25.-While residents | of Haywood, Melrose Park and Bell- wood waited along the tracks of the l Chicago Junction railway during the I early hours of the morning to bar out l the trainload of southern negroes, the much sought train was sidetracked at l Blue island

All day yester- I day the reports that reached them Of | the greeting prepared for them at Mel- I rose Park grew more threatening. Ear- I ly to-day it was declared on the train 1 that 100 of the men had deserted at | Fulton, Ind, and gone to work for the | railway company.
