MEN ARE LOSING
Seven out of Eight Star Mills are now
Running-0ther News

Pittsburg, Sept, 3-Thirty-two ex-
perienced men we're introduced in the
Star tin plate mills today. The man
ayers expect to have seven of the eight
mills running tomorrow. They are
elated with the prospect while the
strikers are correspondingly de-
pressed. The workers we're taken into
the mills by the police, the pickets
Offering no interference. The Star
mill strikers acknowledge now that
they are ''up against it,"
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 1.-The big
Labor day demonstrations monopo-
lized the attention of workmen and
strikers here and in the surrounding
towns, but the steel manufacturers
went on making preparations for the
opening of the plants that are shut
down by the strike, and increasing the
number of men at the mills already in
partial operation.
Public interest in the strike is lag
ging, as the contest seems to have
settled down to an issue of endurance.
Evidences of impotence are cropping
out on the side of the strikers, and the
authorities fear that the unlawful acts
participated in by the strikers last
night and today about the Star tin
plant may multiply and spread to
other quarters.
The officials of the Star plant claim
that today the pickets about their mill
held up a special delivery boy from
the postotfice with letterfor the Office
while he was coming down Twelfth
street, and inspectedIthe letter before
he was allowed to proceed. The mat
ter will be reported to the postal au-
thorities at once. 1t is also charged
that the strikers stoned the company
carriage on Penn avenue this morning
but did no special damage TO the oc-
cupants. The aggressiveness of the
strikers was further demonstrated late
this afternoon, when mob surround
ed William Jones, a colored man,
who was mistaken for non-union
man from the Star works. He made
narrow escape from serious injury
by the appearance of Police Lieuten-
ant Crossan. who came to his rescue.
Before Crossan could secure addi-
tional aid he was almost overwhelmed
by the large crowd that had gathered.
The prompt arrival of large force
of officers probably saved Jones from
serious injury, as the mob appeared a
desperate one and many.demands were
made that he be strung up.
During the parade most of the
pickets were away from the Star mills,
and the company succeeded in secur-
ing several new men. OF the lot that
arrived in Pittsburg early this morn
ing, it was said that good many of
them were for the Demmler pl ant in
McKeesport.

COAST TOWNS FOR BOERS
May be Removed from Concentration
in the Interior.

Cape Town, Sept 1.-The military
administration has determined, it is
said, to deport all the Beers in the re-
concentration camps, numbering up
wards Of 100000. to the garrisoned
towns on the coast, where food is more
readily available. The railways,
thus relieved, will probably suffice to
supply food for the population of
Johannesburg, which is as large as
before the war, permitting the reopen
ing of the mines.
