The Men Are Standing Firm and the Company Off,
 cia|s UnyieIding
MILLS RUNNING NON-UN|ON
Stationery Bremen Strike Began Yes terdsy Morning In Accordance With Order Issued By Presi-
 ident Mullaly-lnjunctlon.

Pittsburg. Pa, July 16.-The second strike day closes with the Amalagamated officials in a satisfied mood and claim ing to have made good every promise as to results. The manufacturers refuse to be quoted in any way. The Amalga- mated people say that nothing has been said to them of any plan for meditation or arbitration and they will continue to carry out their programme as originally announced.
 The closing down of the Clark mil and of the Monessen sheet mill are looked upon as telling victories and an almost complete tie-up of three companies In the district. But one tin plate mill at Moness n and one sheet mill at Duncan vile, remain at work. The fact that the National tube men (non-union) received substantial advance in wages yester- day has caused discontent among the union men employed by the National Tube Company at the Second avenue plant and at the Republic mill on the Southside The men here think they are entitled to a similar increase. To con- sider the matter meetings were held to- night on the Southside and 1t Is said a demand will be made tomorrow. The fol- lowing telegram was received tonight:
 Wellsville-The Wellsville rolling mill will be run and 1t will be run non-union. It wil start tomorrow If it coud not be run non-union 1t never would be run at all''
 This statement was made today by P. F. Smith of Pittsburg, district manager of the American Sheet Steel Company. He was here this morning and made an address to the striking mill men. He told them they had no grievance; that they had been we'll cared for in the past and would be in he future. he announcement that tne mi woula be started tomorrow by non-union men has given rise to no little speculation and uneasiness among the citizens. Many of the strikers, expect ing prolonged idleness, have left the city for hunting and fishing camps. No new men have been brought in, and how Manager Smith expects to start tomorrow Is a matter of conjecture.
 Today, as yesterday, only few laborers were working.
 The foregoing is the first indication as vet given by the manufacturers that they were other than passive participants in the big strike. Wellsville is looked upon by both sides as an important point and developments are anxionsly awaited by all.
 ! The position of the Tin Workers Pro- tective Association in the strike was set tied today by the following telegram to the Leader:
 "Elwood, Ind, July 16.-Our association Is bound by an agreement with the com pany to work, providing they live up to their contracts. If the company intro duces black plate worked by non-union men our men will be called out The Amalgamated people will have our full support If necessary.

FIremen's Strike.


 Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 16.-The strike order of President Mullahy of the Sta tionary Firemen's Association of Penn sylvania was promptly obeyed at o'clock this morning when 900 members of the or ganization in this section of the state re- fused to go to work Most of the strik- CTS are employed as firemen at the coal mines, and the failure to report for duty caused nearly all of the collieries in the northern anthracite region to suspend operation, throwing out of work. 1t is estimated, 5000 men and boys. Some Of the individual coal operators conceded the demands of their employees on condi- ton that the short hour day was not to hold if the men employed by the big com panies did not get the same concessions.
 The big coal companies, however, re- fused to make any concessions. The of ficials claimed that the demands of the firemen were unreasonable; that they had received ten per cent increase when the miners wages were raised last fall and that the demands now made upon the companies are equal to twenty per cent advance.
 The strikers held a meeting in this city shortly before noon. Reports were received from all the districts and they showed that the strike in this county was general and that the coal companies were unable to secure new men to take tn places of the strikers, although 1t was claimd they had made desperate efforts to do so. The best they could do, 1t was said was to press foremen and fire bosses into the service. This was done at great many of the mines Somebody had to do it, because there was danger of great damage being done by water and the accumulation of gas
 The strikers claim that the engineers are friendly to them and they will not work with non1union men. President Mullahy said tonight that he had infor- nation over the northern region that the men were standing firm and that the en- gineers were with them. He thought the coal oompa nies would be unable to get new men and that the strike would soon come to an end.
 At the headquarters of the operators it was claimed that the demand of the strikers would not be entertained and that as soon as new men could be se- cured operations would be resumed. The duration of the strike will depend upon the miners. If they stand by the strik- ing firemen the lockout may be a long one but if the miners return to work as soon as the companies fill the places of the strikers. the strike will be lost to the firemen. Despite reports to the con trary sent out from headquarters of the United Mine Workers 1t Is known that there is considerable friction between the United Mine Workers and the firemen. The miners think that the strike is in- opportune and that the firemen should have waited until April next when the

FINAL ACTION AT HAND.

Duluth News Tribune: Con-
gresham Morris has returned
to Washington with a very clear
idea of the feeling of his con-
stituents toward the National
park scheme. It is understood
that the time is at hand when it
is to be settled, and settled
finally whether influences hostile
to the interests of the people of
northern Minnesota are to pre-
vail and keep the Nelson law
in state of suspension. There
is going to be one more fight at
Washington, and it's a fight to
a finish. The people of the
Sixth district expect Judge
Morris to head the battle for
their interests and they have
every confidence that they will
win it. The opening up OF the
Chippewa reservations will give
an impetus to business through
out the entire Northern Mime
sofa region. It means homes
and work for thousands.

"'Certainly.' Isaid. I take it as more

DEMAND GOOD FOR LOGGERs.
Employment Agencies at Duluth and
at Superior Have Many Orders
For Men.

Duluth Herald:' The employment
agencies on both sides OF the bay re.
port a heavy demand for men TOR the
woods since Tuesday. Since the
present cold snap logging operations
are said to he opening up more en-
teusively and men have been in bet
ter demand than for some weeks
past. The only trouble seems to lie
In getting enough men. During the
holidays a large number OF men came
in but for the past few days there has
been u steady stream out OF the city
at the rate Of seventy-five to- eighty
a day, SO that the supply is very
much depleted. Some of the orders
run as high rs fifty and 100 men and
it is practically impossible to till
them at that figure. The result has
been to strengthen wages and there
is little prospect of Il cut from now
on until spring. Some OF the loggers
say that there has been no drop in
wages ut all since the opening OF
the season. There Ia not Il swamp in
the district but that is frozen over
solid enough now to permit the
heaviest OF teaming, and the loggers
report enough snow in camps for all
purposes. Little complaint ia being
made on the part Of contractors
about the instability OF the men sent
out this winter. The higher wage
matter has proved to be the best
remedy for the jumping tendency.
