PIHTSBURG, Aug. G.-Strike historj
In Piltsburg itself is not prolific Of re.
suits. Considerable, however, is doing
in towns surrounding. In this city all OF
the idle mills are in the same condition as
before the failure of the conference to
settle the strike and no apparent move l.
being made by the manufacturers to start
the mills; consequently there has been no
break in the strikers ranks.
The most important strike points seem
to be Leechburg and Wellsvillle, with
MckeespOrt a possible trouble center.
From Leechburg the following news was
received:
AT 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
Hyde Park mill, which has been lille
since the first of this year, was started.
Il. ). Jargny, manager of American
Steel associations; Harry Davis, district
superintendent, and Robert Lock. local
manager, were on the ground. At 34J
tain arrived at Hyde Park. coming
from Salisbury, Nandergrift and Apollo.
The train stopped at the works and ~
m"n. clad in working garb and carrying
dinner buckets left the train and hurried
into the works. There was no excitement

Later six mill men from Lecchburs
sauutered down toward the mill. passed
the guards and walked into the mills
whore they are now at work. This
makes 61 men now employed at the
works. BY outsiders it is claimed that
this number cannot operate the mill in
full but, however this may be, the mill
is running in good shape.
The amalgamated men. however, are
on the ground making desperate efforts
to keep all union men out. They make
the bold assertion that in two days after
President Shatfer issues his general
strike order not a wheel will be turning
in either Nandergrift Apollo or Hyde
Park.
From Wclsyillc, o., the following re-
port is made:
The last four of the striking steel
workers who were arrested Saturday,
charged with riot. were released from
Jail late Yesterday afternoon upon bail.
There are warrants yet in the hands Of
the police for II more Of the strikers.
which have not yet been served. The
officers. for some reason. seem to be
afraid to serve the warrant
Henry Il. Henderson. potter for
whom the police have a warrant. has
been trying to get himself in the way Of
the officers all day to have them arrest |
him, but they will not do It for the rea-
son that Henderson is backed by the Ma
tiOnal brotherhood of Operative potters.
and the officers fear the vengeance of the
potters once they are aroused. as they
would he if one Of their number were put
under arrest. Secretary Duffy of the
potters. when seen today denied that the
brotherhood had any intention Of call |
ing their members in sympathy with the |
steel workers.
There We're four new men brought into |
the mill from Scottdale yesterday and
four of the strikers. George Cartwright. |
Harry Davidson. Jabeth RushtOn and |
Richard Kay, deserted the union and |
went back to work. Cariright and Da- |
wilson are rollers while Rushton and |
Kay are heaters. Five mills were work |
ing yesterday, the largest number run |
any since the strike began.

Castle was here yesterday between trains |
and said that all the steel mills belonging |
to the United States Steel corporation

han that he refused to talk.
