NO MATERIAL CHANGE
IN STRIKE SITUATION

Pittsburg, Aug. 22.-The steel strike
situation underwent no change yester-
day. On the streets it was day OF
exciting rumors beginning with a
circumstantial story OF a plot Ia
destroy the Monongahela tin plant
and ending with a tale Of the removal
Of the largest plants Of the United
States Steel corporation TO England
At headquarters cold denial was given
TO all Misunderstanding stories.
John Sterndroff, a rougher from
Richmond, Va, who claimed that he
was a member Of the band Of strike
breakers brought to Monessen by
Alabama Joe" Carter, was at strike
headquarters yesterday. He said that
Carter had entirely misrepresented the
facts to him and that he had slipped out
OF the works the first time a chance
presented itself. He says ID men left
Richmond. that five deserted en- route
and that three left when he did. He
placed the number OF men now in the
mill at is. and said very little work
was being accomplished.

Oh Blazing Oil
Men We're Compelled to Flee
for Safety
Another Oil Tank Collapsed in Three
DAYS COnAagraIiOn at Point
Breeze

Philadelphia, Aug. 22-By the col
lapse OF a burning oil tank yesterday
afternoon at the Atlantic Refining
company's plant, at Point Breeze,
where a fire has been raging since
Monday afternoon, great quantities OF
blazing petroleum were precipitated
into PassyunlS avenue and ove- 100
people were badly burned by the blaz-
Ing spray OF oil which fell among them.
Dykes were hastily thrown up by
the fremen and employees of the com
pany and the blazing fluid was con-
fined to an area of about two blocks
on Passyunk avenue At one time It
was thought the flames would com
municate with the purifying house OF
the United Gas Improvement com
pany. which is separated tom the oil
works by a vacant lot. The burning
oil overlooked the dykes to the lot, and
only the most determined efforts saved
the gas company's property. Trenches
were dug and eight lines Of hose were
kept constantly playing on the puri
flying house.
After Wednesdays explosion small
quantity OF burning oil entered a few
Of the sewers. but burned out before
reaching the river Yesterday the has
tily constructed dykes prevented the
oil which poured into the street from
entering the sewer inlets. The FIRE
men are exerting every effort to pre-
vent the blazing fluid from reaching
the river. as much destruction to prop
erty would undoubtedly result II this
should occur.
This morning two oil tanks arc in
flames On either side of one Of them
are two benzine tanks which are in i'm.
minent danger. Lines of hose are con.
stantly playing on the benzine tanks
but officials of the fire department ex-
press the fear that they cannot be
saved. Outside of this the firemen
claim 10 have the flames practically
under control.
