/ CLEVELAND, o. Aug. 2.-The big
steel combine is utilizing negro labor
to supplant its white workers in the
Newburg mills here. Already a cou
pie of hundred of colored men have
come to the city from Pittsburg, Home
stead and adjacent iron centers In
Pennsylvania. They are domiciled in a
large dwelling house at the mill.
The negroes from Alabama and Ten
nessee, according to the colored agent
of the steel corporation, see in this
strike a glorious opportunity to i'm
prove their condition. and are tiocking
north in large numbers.
1t is also asserted that the steel cor
pOration has given authority to its
agents to gather all the colored iron
workers possible, and to center them
at the various points of the strike.
