TO FILL STRIKERS PLACES
(Continued from First Page.)


 there will be trouble if any demonstra- tion is made against the men or prop erty.
 Two mills were operated at Painters last week with non-union men and part of another crew was gotten together last week. Just as soon as enough men are available the third mill will be started.
 There is talk to-night of the possibil- ity of an extension of the strike to other trades. The structural iron workers and bricklayers are becoming directly interested through the question of handling material made by the United States Steel corporation. The strike leaders say they have the abso- lute promise Of support from these TWO trades and that they will refuse to ham dle non-union made material. They cite a number of instances where Ike structural men and brick masons have shown their sympathy and spirit. Opinion is divided here as to the ultl- mate action of the Chicago men. AS sistant Secretary M. F. Tighe Is gener- ally understood to be working among the Chicago men to-day and some con- fdence is expressed in his ability to bring them over Some of the strike | leaders are credited with saying that | they care more about the moral effect | of getting the strikers out than they do | about the impairment of the mills there. MT. Tighe is expected here to- morrow.
 | Ben I. Davis, member of the advisory board of the Amalgamated Association, discussed the situation freely to-day. He said
 | "The idea that because we are not striking for more wages the sympathy of the people is not with us, is mis- taken one. The workingmen of Ameri- ca realize the full meaning of our struggle for a principle for which the | forefathers of this country fought.

They say they do not object to our organization but in the same breath tell men in non-union mills that if they belong to our organ1za- ton they will lose their positions. It IS the fundamental principle that has brought out thousands of men in Mo- Keesport. It is this principle that is bringing to our support every true workingman in the country. It IS one of the greatest battles for organization that has ever been fought. There IS hut one end to battle with men so de- termined as our men are. The coming out of thousands of men in McKeesport is only a sample of what will occur ir all other sections.
 "There is absolutely no truth in tht reports that there is dissatisfaction among the idle men in McKeesport They are standing so1idly and will not return to work under any agreemeh short of a recognition by the trust tha |the Amalgamated Association has Ir,pht to organize it's mill workers with out interference from the officers of tht companies.
 "The situation to-day is perfectly sat ! isfa ctorv to the organization. It vii

 has wonderful recuperative powers ant
 will revive, no matter now nara th
 blow dealt to them.'
