dealt with the same mikman who
served the Malino's. He tested tina II uid

uereu because this portion OF the Unit
ed States Steel corporation has thus
far stood out against the increase In
Union mills now recognized as union
to remain SO. The American Steel
Hoop company stands in the same pc.
sition.
Thus are arrayed against the union
organization the two branches of the
United States Steel corporation. The
scale for the American Tin Plate com
pany. also part of the greater corpo.
ration, has been signed. 1t is said. how
ever, that In case the struggle contin'
ues the Amnlgamated officials have the
power to call out these tin plate work
ers as means of defense against the
parent corporation. which they hold
responsible for all disagreements. The
strike now threatened in the bar mills,
following so closely upon that of the
sheet mills, has therefore most seri
Gus aspect and may spread to enormous
proportions Indeed, In some circles
/ II is predicted that the gigantic strug-
gle that has been talked of since the
organization of the United Steel cor
poration was formed is on the eve of
breaking out and that 1t is coming
much sooner than many believed was
probable.
The position that the greater combine
is placed In practically frees the Inn
portant plants from completely in the
battle. The fight is not wages, but for
organization. Either the Amalgamated
association must how to the VIII of
the greater combine or else the greater
combine will have to give up Its non-
union mills.
Talk of Surprise.
Members of the advisory board of
the Amalgamated association declare
that the association has surprise In
store for the combine.
I'VE have not been idle during the
first half of the present year" said one.
I'VE have strong lodges organized in
several nonunion plants In which the
! combine imagines II has absolute con
| troll. We are in better shape for a
strike than We ever were before. Our
membership among the sheet workers
/ is stronger thnn II has been in years,
and our treasury has larger defense
fund than we ever had i'm our history.
The question of signing for all mills
must be settled this year Next year
or the year following would be too
late
At McI<eesport the strike outlook Is
regarded seriously. The w Devices
Wood mill was shut down a week ago.
and no effort will be made by the com
pany to start mp the mill within few

the stand taken by President Slaffpl

ed. The Amalgamated people say new
men are joining their organization ev
