Pittsburg, Sept 3.-The big labor
day demonstration yesterday monop-
olized the attention of workmen and
strikers here and in the surrounding
towns, hut the steel manufacturers
went on making preparations for the
opening OF the plants that are, shut
down by the strikers, increasing the
number OF men at mills already works.
ing. The coAkest seems to have set
tied down to- an issue of endurance.
Evidences OF fmpatience are cropping
out on the side of the. stris2Fs, and
the authorities fear that the unlawful
acts participated in by the strikers
last night about the Star tin plant
may multiply and spread to other quar-
ters.. Officials Of the Star mills claim
the strikers held up a special deliv-
cry boy with letter for the officials
andfinspected the letter before he was
allowed to proceed. The matter will
be reported to the. postal authorities
at once, 1t is also charged that theI
strikers stoned the company carriageI
on Penn avenue, bat did no special
damage to the occupants. Thesaggres~
slveness Of the strikers was further
| demonstrated when a mob surrounded
William Jones, colored man who
was mistaken for nonunion man from
theE9Sta works. He made narrow
escape from serious injury by the ap-
pearance of Police Lieutenant Cros-
san, who came to his rescue. Before
CrosSan could secure additional aid he
was almost overwhelmed by the large
crowd that had gathered. The prompt
| arrival Of a large number of officials
| probably saved Jones from serious IN
| jury, as the mob appeared a desperate
| one and many demands We're made
| that he be strung up During the lpas
rade most of the pickets were away
from the Star mills and the company
succeeded in securing many new men,.
The failure of the Amalgamated peo-
/ pie to cripple the Carnegie open
hearth plant at Duquesne is looked
upon by the steel officials as the death
blow of the strike, in the Carnegie
mills at least.
4 AnaaIganated Men In Labor Parade.
Pittsburg was given over to the
"stnrdy sons of toil' yesterday, who
paraded the streets many thousands
i strong in celebration of Labor day.
Owing to the Amalgamated strike the
celebration was never as great as this
year. The parade was in four di-
visions. The first division was made
upsof the Amalgamated strikers. with
President Shaffer in command. 1t was
one! of the largest divisions and the.
striking steel workers were greeted
with enthusiasm all along the route.
The picnic at the grove was some
what marred by rain, but crowd of
the elements to attend. The principal
addresses were made by President
! Shaffer and William j.. Brennan.
During the course of his address
President Shaffer said: ut has been
said that the strike is already lost and
that wise general is always ready to
retreat, if by so doing he can save his
army from .annihilation. All l have
| toSsay to this is, that Shaffer's motto
is 10 speedy death is preferable to star
vation.' If we yield to the trust now,
they will steal more mills and soon we
shall be in their power. l would
rather go down with the Amalgamated
association in destruction than be its
| president with it's members starving,
But the Amalgamated is not goingto be
! licked. The trust and the newspapers
will have their inning, but there will
be#a few of us, left at the finish. If
it comes to last resort there are the
coal miners. If, in the course of time,
their leaders shall think it best to quit
work to help us, then we shall be
thankful for their support"
