Good Order Prevails in the Places
Where the Amalgamated
Strike is On.
The STRIKERS STRONGHOLD

Novement-Trouble is Anticipated
When Non Union Men Will Take
Place of Strikers.

Old Meadow plants of the American
Sheet Steel company at Scottdale went
to. work as usual this morning. The
Mingo plant at Mingo Junction was
closed, the men having struck Satur-
day. There was no change in the sit
uation at Sharon. Not mill has been
shut down as a result of President
Shaffer's order. The departments of
the National Tube works at McKees-
port that are closed are: National Roll
ing mill, 1900; Boston Iron and Steel
mill, 500 Monongahela Steel Mill, 400.
MeKeesport strikers severely criticise
the action of Chicago and other west
ern men in refusing to come out.
Twelve mills We're started at Wellsville
today making gain of one. An addi-
tional crew was made up by the Anal
gamated association members.
The Amalgamated association issued
a general appeal to organized labor for
financial assistance.
Reports from all strike centers indi-
cate that perfect order prevails, but it
is believed clashes are inevitable at the
more turbulent places when attempts
are made to put non-union men on
where strikers quit work. President
Shaffer said at noon: I'VE have no Off
cial information about the situation in
the west I do not believe that Vice
President Davis of Chicago, has accep-
ted the superintendency from the trust
as reported. My only regret is that the
men working in the trusts slave pens
had not spirit enough to come out and
join the strikers. I will not take any
part in calling out the American Feder-
alton of Labor. It's action must be vol
untary. The Amalgamated has not
lost anything but has made gains"
Secretary Williams said: IT think
the greatest surprise in the strike will
come to the steel officials when they
find we have invaded the Carnegie
pfant. We have reliable reports to the
effect that the lower city mill is tied UP
and but one mill of the upper plant Is
on. We have not made known our
plans and still have some surprises for
the manufacturers"
