run-in this morning of th1rty-two non unionists to operate their Star plant at Twelfth and Etna streets The strikers had been notified that 15O men would arrive over the Pennsylvania road at F o'clock and large number of strikers gathered at the station to receive them. When the train finally arrived, over two hours late, the thir- ty-two new corners. under the guidance of six of the company officials and the protection of twenty-five policemen, were marched to the mill, three blocks away No demonstration was made by the strikers, but they followed the crowd and tried to get a chance to talk to the nOn-unionists to diSSuade them The police. however, prevented all communication by forming a hol- low square about their charges and keeping all strikers at a distance. No trouble occurred and the new men were safely lodged in the mill. The strikers claim that five of the men broke away from the guards and took to the hills.
 Pittsburg. Aug 22.-The develop ments in the steel strike this morning were all favorable to the masters. Early this morning the American Tin Plate Co succeeded in getting about 100 men safely inside the gates of the Star plant. on Twelfth street in this city, and preparations were in progress fer starting up two mills before the close Of the day; another crew was put on at the Lindsay & McCutcheon works in Allegheny, and the ''Jinney" mill was started, and 2j0 men were reported at work in the Painter plant on the south side.
 The seven foreigners arrested for disturbing the peace at the Pennsyl- vania tube plant last night were given a hearing by Magistrate McGarvey this morning and severely reprimand- ed All were discharged but one, who was fined for having a dangerous weapon in his possession when arrest ed. The magistrate requested the Amalgamated officials to instruct the. foreigners as to the rights of others as well as how far they themselves could go without breaking the law. He then said: as
 ''The recorder, the police and the magistrates mean to maintain civic order at all costs. Hereafter I want 1t very clerly understood any one who is arrested in connection with strike disorders will be made to feel the utmost penalty of the law The police department. myself, Director J. O. Brown and Superintendent Leslie, no matter how our personal sympa- thies go, have but one duty to perform and that is to protect the common wealth, and this duty will be fulfilled ar all hazards.
 'Inspector Henry Whitehouse is an efficient officer and he and other off, cers are sent down to the various works to do their duty. and they will do it. It Is now the duty of the offi- cers of the Amalgamated association to inform the men that have been ar rested. and those not arrested, that strikers must not congregate at the mills. at the street corners, or even on the streets. and that if they do SO, especially after this warning. it will be the duty of the magistrates to im- pose on them the utmost penalty of the law It is a disgracefuI state of affairs when the police. as i'll this case. had to draw their revolvers to protect those whom they arrested from being taken from the patrol wagon. The ex- cuse that these men did not understand English will not count. On other and less important occasions they under stand it very we'll, but when they get into trouble they plead as an excuse tho fact that they are from a foreign country, speaking q foreign tongue and used to foreign laws Let it be fully understood that the laws of this coun- try. to which they have. come to earn their bread. are to be fully enforced nt all hazards and that ignorance Of rhcm or of the language will not be accepted as plea"
