strike situation. Much interest is be-
ing taken at McKeesport over the an
nouneement that the Demmler plant
viii surely be started on Monday and
the strikers say every possible effort
will be made peaceably and lawfully TO
prevent the company making a success
of its venture.
The members of the John F. Ward
and Pride of New Castle lodges. of the
Amalgamated, composed of the striking
tin workers of New Caste,
Held N secret Session Tonight
and considered communication from
David S. Pyle, superintendent of both
the Shenango and Greer tin plants of
that city. This communication was
somewhat explanatory of the position
OF the American Tin Plate Company in
the present strike controversy. Strik-
ers absolutely refused to have anything
to do with the communication. Local
Amalgamated men are highly wrought
up over the report that the trust will
attempt to resume operations In all the
tin plants with non-union men. They
do not believe, however that this will
be attempted in this city.

Marshal Tanning came to serve the
writs on all the strikers he could find.
The strikers Were Taken Aback
considerably by the movement and say
it is wholly unwarranted for they have
so far not intimdated any one and
have used only moral suasion.
John Stevenson. secretary of the min
ers' association, was in Canal Dover
to-day to tender the strikers the sym
pathy and financial support of the as
ISOLATION. He also intimated that it is
possible the president would order a
strike of miners. Such an order would
affect about ten thousand men in this
section of Ohio embracing all the mines
included in ten counties.
