They had been quartered all Day at the
MOnOngahela House, and were taken
TO the mill in cabs. The plant sus-

A Wheeling dispatch says; Within !
an hour after orders were received by
Manager Wilson of the Aetna STANDARD
plant To dismantle No. I and ship it to
NaEdeTgrift. a force of men was at
work. and today part of the machinery
was loaded on cars ready for shipment

leaders here say the strike had moth (
ing TO do with the removal of the mill, !
which was decided on long ago. Bust !
ness men fear the removal of the entire
plant"
The excitement at McKeesport at
midnight is intense. Between 200 and
SEQ strikers are parading the streets in
an angry mood over reports to the eff
feet that the Demmler tin plant would
resume at 6 o'clock in the morning.
About 10 o'clock a boat was seen en- /
deaN oring to make q landing near the
mills. AS soon as the strikers caught
sight of the boat a roar went up and a
rush was made for the river bank, /
where the men fired a vOlley of ques- I
tions at those on the boat. Who are
you2" Where are you gOiug2" What
do YOU want here2" and similar ques-
lions were asked OF those on board. but
instead of receiving any answer 10 their
questions the boat was seen TO turn
around and again go down the river. !
The strikers are of the opinion that the
bo-t was trying TO land strike breakers, /
and q sharp lookout is being kept on
the river front Tor fear the boat again
makes its appearance.
