The Aggressiveness
Il The strikers was further demonstra-

rounded Williams Jones, a colored
faH. who was mistaken for a nom
H1i0n man from the Star works. He
aade a narrow escape from serious in
ry and possibly death by the appear

Veo came to his rescue. Before Cross
mn could secure additional aid, he
aas almost overwhelmed by the large
roWd that had gathered. The prompt
arrival of a large force of officers pro-
6sH1y saved Jones from being lynched,
a the mob appeared a desperate one
and many demands were made that he
f. strung up.

OF the lot that arrived in Pittsburg
early this morning, it was said that a
good many of them were for the
Dammler plant at McKeesport and are
POW in that plant where operations
GRE to begin in a short time.

men there wanted to celebrate labor

usual tomorrow. The Painter mills in
West Carson street started up as usual,

There Was No Change
In the Lawrenceville district. The fail
ufe of the Amalgamated people to Grip
F-Athe Carnegie open hearth plant at
IEFaUesne this morning is looked upon
by the steel officials as the death blow
Of the strike, in the Carnegie mills at
jes5t.
Last night the strike managers at
atkeesport announced that a march
would be made this morning to Du-
iNesne and predicted confidently that
-le men would not go to work and the
snIlre plant would be tied up. This
morning nc paraders appeared, the
men went to work and the plant is in
operation as usual. 1t is more than
probable, that this latest failure at Du-
atzsne will have the effect of making
l]e strike managers withdraw all eff
,arts in that direction.
While there is visible indication that
NE National Tube Company intends
starting its plant at McKeesport in the
mar future, the foremen in the mill say
tonight that the entire plant will be
