non union plants of the country. II was
CANNED that the men I'm the Old
Meadow mill at Scottdale would not go
out on strike. The Scottdale Iron and
Steel mill is also working and no signs
OF strike are visible there. The alleg-
ed attempt on the part of the associa-
lloh TO attack the forces in the big VAN
oergrl1t mills at Vandergrift, Pa. was
not regarded seriously, though the COM
pany is watching closely all such move
ments. When President Shaffer was in
formed of the granting of the advance to
the Mcheesport tube workers he said:
Il anticipated such action on the part
VI the manufacturers and have warned
our men to guard against being blinded
by such dust-throwing methods
The tube men in McKeesport are nm
organized and this advance, coming with
the beginning of the strike of the en-
ployes OF three companies with which we
are at issue, Is an indication that the
Stee! corporation appreciates the strength
Oh the Amalgamated association and Is
trying to thwart it's growth and aims
Dy such means as have been adopted in
Nlcheesport' L expect that similar adj
Nances VIII be given the men i'm other
works Of the United States Steel COR
porat1on that have not been affected bY
the strike order, in the hope that the
workers may refuse to come out should
we decide to extend the strike to all the
plants of the corporation"
IN THE PITTSBURG DISTRICT.
Following are extracts of reports from
near by towns up to 9 p. M:
New Philadelphia, Ohio-35O emrloyes OF
the New Philadelphia Rolling mill are
ldie. The Amalgamated Association lodge
Shaffer. ~
Carnegie Pa.-No attempt was made
10 start work at the Charters Steel
works today, as the mill Is well organized,
about 200 of the employees belonging to
the Amalgamated association
Scottdale, PAIL departments Of
the Scottdale and Old Meadow Rolling
mill are running fun today and there is
every indication there that they will con-
tlnue to run for an indefinite period The
officials here have little fear that the per-
scnal agreement entered into by the men
will be broken.
Johnstown, Pa.-Now that the great
strike Is on, it has developed that con-
siderably more than half Of the 1900
employees of the Cambria Steel company
in this city are members Of the ANAL
gamated association the mass Of them
being members of Pittsburg lodges The
Cambria mills are nOn-union and the COM
pany believed until today they would not
be affected by the strike. Prominent
steel workers here say, however, that II
President Shaffer calls on the men here
to go out the entire plant of the Cambria
company will be tied up. ~
McKeesport, Pa.-There was no excite
ment here today on account of the strike
w. D. Wood and the United States Tin
Plate plants are idle and no attempt was
made to resume work at either plant. The
men are looking for an early settlement
Sharon, Pa.-None OF the Sharon, South
Sharon or Wheatland industries are af-
fected by the strike order Of President
Shaffer.
If. however, the Sharon Tin Plate COM
pany lives up to its contract and disposes
of it's products to the United States corr
poration It is believed that President

strike order.
The Independent plants, including tho
Sharon Tin Plate mill, are in operation
The Greenville, Fa., mill closed this
morning, letting out 500 men.
The National Steel works, nOn-unlon,
owned by the United States Steel cora
poration, Is also running.
In addition to the very general and in
some instances rather unexpected COM
pliance with the strike order, the Anal
gamated association tonight has added
two more mills to its list, both of which
were claimed by the companies to be be-
yond the reach of the organization. When
the William Clark Sons company mill,
which ran all day as non-union, came to
shift turns tonight none Of the skilled
men reported for duty, and the plant
had to close down.
Later the following was received con-
corning the mill considered by the manu-
facturers to be exceptionally loyal:
Monesen, Pa.-The Monesen Steel Hoop
plant is closed and has been organized
by district delegates Of the Amalgamted
association. The delegates arrived IN
town this morning and went 10 work
Immediately. BY 3 o'clock this after
noon they had all the local men in the
association and left this evening for
Pittsburg, after advising the men to
stand firm. The men held q meeting to-
night to elect officers and name their
lodge. The conquest of these two plants
is considered by the association people
as an evidence of their strength and an
indication that President Shaffer's as
sertion that surprises would follow the
strike order was not all blum.
