 Two other appeals were made to him later in the morning, but he insisted that there was no danger of an out break. Another crowd gathered at noon when tEe tube men were leaving the plant, and, while the workers were jeered. no violence was offered.
 Reports from Wheeling and Bellaire indicate that there may be trouble there. At the latter place an attempt is to be made to keep the plant in op- eration and the mill officials say that if they or the men who did not go out are interfered with, they will ask for State militia to protect them. At Wheeling reports that men were being imported have brought out crowds, bent on preventing their admission, and 1t is predicted that there will be seri- ous clashes there before the strike Is settled. The strikers at Camel Dover, O.. have had men watching the mills since o'clock this morning on the strength of a report that on-union workers are to be brought there. Su- perintendent Harris of the Tin Mill has notified the men that unless the plant is reopened within reasonable time. he has orders to commence dismantling it. Manager Warner has made the same announcement to the men who went out of his services.
 The Executive Committee of the Amalgamated Association will prob ably make an exhaustive investigation of the action taken by the lodges at South Chicago Bayview and Joliet in refusing to make the strike. A radical element in the local lodges bitterly de- nounce the Western members, and in- sist that there was something irregu- Ia hr,, nsL that influences that would not bear in- vestfgation were used on the men.

 No attempt has been made as yet to put in operation the plan of withdraw ing savings deposits, suggested by President Shaffer in his speeches of Saturday. The suggestion aroused great interest particularly in banking circles. and many bankers not connect ed with the larger industrial combina- tions have protested against it. Pres ident Shaffer said today that he had not sent tho Pirpl1Iar dpaIino wi the matter. He said:
 T have the circular in my pocket still and the matter is under consid- eratlon. I am aware that there are banks which have no connection with the trust or its interests. There are things to be considered which makes 1t necessary to stop any action for the present. On general lines. however, the matter is perfectly reasonable. Why should our people put money m the banks to be loaned to the trust to carry on their business of destroying us?"
 Reports tonight from Loring say the mills are working as usual and that there is no prospect of trouble. Min go Junction reports that there may be an early attempt to start the National Steel Hoop Company mill at Duncans- vile, which has been idle for months and that the prospects of trouble In the mills there is slight. The oil City plant of the National Tube Company, Is moving without trouble.
 It Is reported that an attempt will be made at once to reopen the Crescent plant of the American Tin Plate Com pany at Cleveland. Four skilled men | from the Monesseu works are said to have left there for Cleveland this af- ternoon and others are to be obtained in this State and Ohio. An effort is also to be made to start up the Hum- bert plant of the American Tin Plate | Company at South Connellsville. If the effort fails this plant may be one of those dismantled and consolidated with Monessen. Two men who claimed that they were seeking work were or dered out of McKees oort as suspicious characters today. Discussing his stand on the question of police protection, Mayor Black today said: "As long as there is no disorder have no right to interfere. I thought today that if the company had the right to occupy two of the principal streets of the city the men had right to stand on the sidewalk as long as they were orderly. I will mantain or der here."
