Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. ia report
from McKeesport at 1:30 this morn
ing said that it was reported generally
throughout the valley that 100 men
had gone ON strike in the converting
mill of the Duquesne works. 1t is
claimed that five lodges of the Anal
gamated Association have been organ
lied in the different departments of
the works.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. ia party of
strike breakers brought up from The
south by special train was safely de-
liyered in the steel mill at Monessen
early yesterday morning, and the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation expects to
add that plant to the number running
partly or in full with non-union men
within few hours. The Carnegie
properties also resumed last night
without break in the forces operating
them, and that fact, Joined with a
promise OF an early start at Monessen,
leads the steel officials here to take a
very hopeful view of the situation.
The strikers claim that men enough to
start the Monessen mills cannot be OBJ
tanned, and that they have not vet
shown their hand at Duquesne and the
other Carnegie plants, but promise that
later developments will Indicate their
strength to better advantage.
Trouble Booked for the Future.
1t was anticipated that there would
be trouble when the non-union men
reached N1onessen, for the strikers
were watching the railroads and river,
and had expressed n determination to
prevent the entrance of the strike
breakers The men who We're handling
the movement for the steel corpora
ton successfully yelled their action
however, and had their charges safely
within the plant hours before it was
known definitely by any one on the
outside that the men had arrived. II
is not known how many men We're IN
the party nor where they We're OBJ
tanned. The mills are guarded and the
men will be kept on the premises until
