Pittsburg, Pa, Sept S.-Developments
today in the steel strike show decided
gains for the owners. The accession
Of thirty-two skilled men to the Star
plant. the increased production at the
Painter and the Lindsay and McCutch-
con mills, the detection from the striz-
erS ranks of seVenty-fiVe machiniSts
and pipe cutters at the Continental
tube works, the Importation of twelve
men to the Monessen steel hoop mill
and the installation Of three mills on
the night turn at the Clark mill. an
point to an early resumption all alOng
the line, as viewed by the steel Off
cials.
The Amalgamated officials. however.
make the assertion that everything is
progressing satisfactorily, and say that
much of the supposed advantage Of the
manufacturers is bluff and cannot be
made good As an instance. they cite
the Lindsay and McCutcheon plant;
the company says that IL has as many
men at work as it can accommodate.
The Amalgamated people declare that
James Hryley, vice president Of the
first district, visited the Lindsay and
McCutcheon mill today in the guise OF
q roller seeking work. He made an in
spectlon Of the mill, and according TO
his report there are thirty men at the
works, six of whom are skilled.
The strikers also asset that ut the
MOnessen plant the product turned cut
last week amounted to 250. 900 pounds
while before tn strike the daily out
put was 100000 unds.
Matters at McKeesport tonight are
quiet, and, to all appearances, un-
changed. Strikers point TO the fact
that the machiDists who We're persuad-
ed yesterday to leave the National tube
works did not go in today. The much
talked-Of start Of the Demmler plant
is still being discussed and the attempt
to start is now scheduled for the lat
ter part of the week.
Trust Wants Protection.
The management says that the only
thing holding them back is adequate
protection for the workers. a full COM
plement Of whom they say are ready
to go in. Mayor Black is still holding
back his final answer TO the request for
police protection 1t was reported this
afternoon that the strikers at Duquesne
intended TO make another effort to close
the plant by getting the open hearth
men out, but nothing definite on the
subject can be learned.
At Wheeling the strikers are holding
their own, and there is no indication
OF an attempt to start any of the shut
down plants.
The report from Canal Dover is to
the effect that although, District Man
ager Cline promised yesterday that four
mills would be fired up this morning,
I only one mill was fired. The strikers
say this was caused by the desertiOn
Of nine of the nOn-uniOn men who re-

place they came last Sunday. Manager
