President Shaffer and other prominent
local labor leaders was instead set for
the Hotel Henry, at 10 o'clock this
morning.
1t is said that this meeting will have
an important bearing on the strike.
Representatives of the constituent
companies of the United States Steel
corporation in Pittsburg contend that
there is no move looking to a settlement
of the strike that will be effectual; that
the combine programme is to gradual
" and quietly resume operations. AS a
result of the strike the combine has ar
ranged its programme of central1zlng
operations and proposes now to make
these contradictions In nOn-unlOn
strOngholds. In combine quarters II is
said that the AmaIgamated association
proposition was refused because the is
sue had gone too far and the strike had
been extended against issues innocent
of the original contentious and bound
by wage contracts.
Some excitement was occasioned last
night at the Demmler mills of the
American Tin Plate company, in Lower
MckeespOrt. by a report that a carload
of strike breakers We're to be unlOaded
at the works Where a few minutes
before there had been scarcely a picket
in sight, crowds sprang up as if by
magic. and every preparation was made
men. However, the men were not
strike breakers at all, and passed by
Demmler without stopping. After that
the crowd melted away.
Advices from Martins Ferry, Ohio,
are that the strikers have discovered
that at least three members of the
union have been won to the side of the
employers and that they will probably
take a hand in starting the CanaID Dover
Tin Plate mill. All are skilled men and
they are being closely watched. The
strike is beginning to be felt in the
coke regions. Last week with a few
exceptions, the plants throughout the
region ran but five days. The result
was a slump in production of over IT,
600 tons. This week it will likely de-
crease still lower. Some of the smaller
plants are scheduled for q four days
