by towns was received at the Associated
Press office tonight as follows:
NEW CASTLE, PA.-Vice President John
Chappell. of the A~malgamated Association.
addressed the eight hundred striking en-
ployes Of the National Steel Company to-
day in the city building. The men were
the members of the Unity Lodge who
walked out of the steel and bar mills last
night i'm response to the call of President
Shaffer. Vice President Chappell warmly
complimented the men on their loyalty to
the association. a resolution was then
passed unanimously by the strikers indors-
ing President Shaffer and his action in
calling them out 10 assist their brother
union men. Vice President Chappell does
not anticipate any trouble here. and says
that any attempt to operate any of the To-
cal mills by ncnunion labor would be fool
hardy.

Steel Company made an increase of twelve
men i'm the working force of the Wellsville

charge of Harry H. Thompson, the young
civil engineer. who has been reported miss
ing for several days. y lew strikers were
present when the train came, but. acting
under stringent orders from President
Shaher, refrained from even speaking to
the young men who We're imported to take
their places. The men acted in a very or
derby way, and not even a cat call was
heard as the strike breakers passed into the
stockade. The men did not have the APP
pearance of strike breakers but looked
more like clerks or bookkeepers, and from
their appearance had never had any expe-
rience as steel workers. George CartriSnt,
Richard Kay and Jabeth kuShtOn, who de-
serted the ranks of the strikers this week
and returned to work. came back into the
association meeting tonight and asked to
be taken back into the Arnalgamated. They
said they were disguised with themselves
for ever having made the break to goet to
work. They were taken back. Superin-
tendent George Evans. of the Lisbon tin

such is not the case, as only about half a
dozen of the old men rave gone to work,
and to-day one mill at Apollo was shut
down and the men sent to Hyde Park to
make "a good showing. No fights have oc-
Cured and the few men who go to work
