strike is to be fought out in the courts.
AS an answer to j. Pierpont Nor
gan's defiance to the strikers President
Shaffer of the Amalgamated associa-
tion has announced that he will bring
suit against the officials of the billion
dollar trust for coercing their workmen
into leaving labor unions.
This is a crime under the Pennsylva-
MIA law.
President Shaffer explains his plans
In the following statement:
"Unless the officials of the United
States Steel corporation withdraw the
charge that the Amalgamated associa-
ton is seeking to deprive nonunion
men of their rights and liberties by
forcing them to join unions. such as Is
alleged would be the case if the asso-
citation wins the strike, / will bring
suit in the Allegheny county courts
against these officials for coercing their
employees into leaving labor unions
and discharging those who refused tC
Dbey their employers commands in this
respect.
"A law passed by the Pennsylvania
legislature five years ago prohibits
employers of labor from interfering
with their workmen becoming mem
bers of labor organizations.
Hundreds of Men Discharged. =.

in the association. Legal advice ha'
already been taken"

rem Arms in New York concerning thu

piled: Mr.. Arms agreed to sign th'
scale for Salisbury and the Old Mead
