Pittsburg, Sept. 3.-Developments today in the steel strike show decided gains TOT the man ifacturers The accession or thirty-two skilled men at the Star plant, the increased production at the Painter and the Lindsay and McCutcheen mills, the defection from the striking ranks of seventy-five machinists and pipe cut ters at the Continental Tube Works, the importation of twelve men to the Mones- sen Steel Hoop Mill, and the installation of three mills on night turn at the ClarK Mill, all point to an early resumption all along the line, as viewed by the steel officials
 The Amalgamated officials. however. make the claim that much of the sup posed advantage of the manufacturers is bluff and cannot be made good. They say James Hurley, Vice-President of the First District, visited the Lindsay and McCutcheon mill today in the suise oL q roller seeking work. According to his re- port there are thirty men at work, SIX of whom are skilled.

 movement which may be Of consider
 able moment in the strike came to hgh | tonight. Letters from influential uI | plats workers of Joliet have been re | ceived by leading tin plate strikers a | the Demmler and Star plants urging then | to break away from the Amalgamate' | Association and join the Tin Plate Work
 CTS International Association, which nov
 includes practically ali tha men who worl
 tin plate plants. It is argued that tht
 would put the tin plate workers in posi
 ton to ask for a scale next year, where
 as if they remain with the Amdigamate
 Ass lciation and the strike should be lost
 they would be compelled to go back t
 work individually. The movement,
 carried out successfully, would mean thA | the tin plate workers now or strike woul
 would return to work at once ana th l tin plate company could resume at all q II it's plants within a short time.
 canvass of the Demmler men ma
 been made and 1t Is said ninety per cen | of them are in favor of returning to wor
 at once. The sentiment is reported eve
 stronger at Joliet where the men nav
 had work but two months in the las | twelve.
