SHAFFER SAYS
THERE'S NO CHANGE

TO Effect That His Association is
Seeking to Force Settlement.

A New Philadelphia, O., dispatch re-
ports that Attorneys Bowers and Bu,
chanan. for the American Sheet steer
company, have served an injunction
through the United states court against
the Amalgamatsd association AT Canal

After next Monday the AmaIgamated
association will begin the disbursement
OF strike benefits 10 such as are still out
Of employment. The rate is 81 a week
The sheet and hoop workers Will have
been out nine weeks by the end OF Au-
gust. the tin workers seven weeks and
and Federal and National steel employees
and tube workers three weeks.
The question OF strike benefits for en-
ployes OF the National Tube company who
are not members OF the Amalgamated as
sociation has been the subject OF dis
cussion. These men are nearly all MEM
bers OF certain trades unions affiliated
with the Federation OF Labor and II ap-
pears went out in sympathy with Anal
gamated strikers without the formality
provided by the Federation constitution.
For this reason no benefits could be paid
them by their own organization.
Several meetings of tube workers have
been held recently TO consider the dues-
ton and committees were appointed TO
gamated association. IL is understood
that the strike officials assured them that
thsx would not be overlooked I'm the hour
OF need.
Secretary Williams received check
from the Flint glass workers today for
$1,000 besides several other large donations.
Advices from Lisbon, Ohio, say that
the strikers have erected seven large
tents at different points outside the tin
mill enclosure. The pickets have in
I creased their vigilance and will endeavor
| TO keep non-union men from entering the
| plant.
| At McKeesport the strikers continue
| TO guard all approaches to the town, but
| good order ~~evails. Mavor Black was
| notified today by the officials OF the
| Demmler Tin Plate works that an at
| tempt will be made 20 start the plant
| next week. and police protection was
| needed. Repairs have been completed,
| and the mill is now ready for resumption.
The nine-inch guide mill al Carnegie
| lower mills, in this city. started up today
| after an idleness OF several weeks for re-
pairs. Forty additional men were given
employment.
