Pittsburg, Aug. 19.-It is believed
that the American steel hoop company
will attempt resumption of its en-
tire plant today. The fires we're lighted
last night. While the pickets slept
this moring the trust rushed another
train with experienced southern steel
workers into the plant. 1t requires
forty men to operate each ten and
eight inch mill. The strikers say the
trust has not this number. The De-
quesne furnace and Carnegie company
are running full handed today al
though the Amalgamated people claim
the men are organized. A dispatch
from Chicago from Assistant Secre-
tary Tighe predicts strike of the
Chicago workers within a week.

hours, and it was close to Q O'Clock
tonight when secret ballot was
taken. the result showing majority
in favor of a strike. EWhen the result

the famous order was carried without
dissenting voice. The tension
throughout the meeting was great.
Leaders of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation now in this city .declare the
action of the Bayview:men will have
important bearing on the situation.
They claim that South Chicago will
likely be inhuencedsin the same direc-
tion. Taking this view, association
leaders gain encouragement in the war
with the United States Steel corpor-
alton.
w. c. Davis, of Chicago, after the
meeting, spoke in strong terms of
praise at the action Of the lodge. Mr.
Davis looks for an immediate change
in the situation at South Chicago when
the news of the result of the Bayview
meeting becomes known to the men in
his city.
If the strike is oflong duration, Mil
waukee's suburb of Bayview will be
seriously affected, as that section o.
the city is practically made up of mill
men AMI the merchants depend upor
these patrons for living.
