After weeks of preliminary skirmsh-
ing, at last the great battle between the
gigantic steel trust and the thousands OF
men marshalled under the banners of the
Amalgamated association Of iron, steel
and tin workers is fairly on. The long
talked of general strike order has been
issued by President Shatfer to take effect
after the last turn of the mills on August
10. What the result will be no man can
foretell, but judging by the expressed de-
termination of both parties to the con-
troversy the battle will be waged to the
very last ditch. Much money will be lost,
thousands upon thousands of men will be
idle, great suffering is looked for, and
even bloodshed and death are possible and
feared.
The strike call includes practically all
Amalgamated men in the United States
