Il The strikers were seen Monday
morning, but they knew nothing new.
Some of them said they did not expect
anything to turn up for at least a
week.
The general opinion in. Lawrence
vile is that the men in the Upper and
Lower Union mills will not join the
strikers. 1t is said by the merchants
that the men are satisfied and will not
throw up their POSITIONS, as they are
making too much money. :
At the Lindsay and McCutche on mill,
Allegheny, everything is quiet. Not a
wheel is turned in the plant and all
the work that is going on is some re-
pairs.$5 Almost every man who left the
mill at the opening of the strike has
gone to work in independent mills.
Strengthening Their Position.
A McKeesport dispatch Says, The
Amalgamated organizers are working
like beavers strengthening theiralines
for the coming struggle.* aMeetin
were held here Sunday of both union
and national lodges, which are com
posed of the men in the National roll
ing mill and the Boston iron and steel
mill, both. rolling plants Of the Ma
tional Tube company. The result was
that 279 new members were added and
the control of the rolling mills is set
tied. Only two men in the Boston mill
are now outside the fold and large
majority of the men in the national
mill are now in the association.
Preparati tions are being made for the
organiza ton of the men at the Nation
al Galvanizing plant and the Seamless
Tube plant, as they have asked for:ad-
mission either to the ANAL lga ma ted or
the Federation of Labor. .,,.,,,4s.
A Wellsville CO., dispatch says The
wholesale arrest of the participantsin
the riot at the home Of Harry Phillips
on Saturday has dampened the ardor
of the strikers and if the potters and
other labor organizations would keep
their hands off, it., is +, felt that the
trouble, so far as the Wellsville mill is
concerned, would soon be a thing of
the past. Seven more members of&the
association deserted Monday morning g
and returned to work. There are now
about 80 men at the mill and it is:em.
phatically stated that. five Of the six
mills will be in full operation soon. :.
Business Feels Depression.
Many leading business houses have
found business dropping off so as to
make the removal~of clerks impera-
urday. laid off 25 girls and at the same
time gave, notice that if the strike
was not settled by next Saturday it
would likely be@necessary to- lay off
more.=Finances also suffered. On two
days last week the clearing housesre-
ports showed "a decrease compared
with last. .Pyear.rThese were the only
two days of the year whose clearings
did not exceed figures of the CORE
spending days last year 81
