night as follows:

Wellsyille, Ohio.-The situation in
Wellsville is unchanged from yester-
day, the same number of mills are
working and the temper or the men To-
ward the company ana the officers has
been in no wise altered. President
Albert Hughes. OF the National Brother
hood OF Operative Potters, passed
through Wellsville to-day and said:
1.-The potters will not be called out un-
I'll it is absolutely necessary and backed
by orders from the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, we can be OF more as
sistance by sticking to our work am
aiding them financially The arrest of
Henry b. Henderson, president of the
Wellsville local of potters, on the
charge of riot. has deeply ineensed al
the operative pot.ers In the Ohio Valley.
Tomorrow at noon kitchen viii be
established in the mill yard and the
non-union men will be furnished their
meals within the mill yard instead of
having them passed through the fence
as heretofore. Manager Brookman alb
solutely refuses to admit news writer
to his office and will not even tell the
number of mills now working, which
leads the strikers to believe that he
has several men within the stockade
whom be is afraid to permit to work
on the hot rolls.
From BeIlaire.
Bellaire, Ohio. - From indications,
Bellaire works, National Steel Company
men. will not come out on the call
from Shaffer. An organizer mas been
here but could not get enough 10 start
a lodge. as there are not many men in
this mill that the Amalgamatcd Asso-
action would allow to become mem
bers, but it is thought here that If all
other trades come out this min will
close down. At present the mill will
run until the tin plate mills using their
sheet bars close down.
From Monessen.
Monessen. Pa.-The report that Presi-
dent Shaffer had ordered a general strike
was heard with much dissatisfaction by
the majority of people here and excite
ment is running high as to the next local
movement. The tin mill Is running and
the strikers have Sc far failed I'm their
efforts to get the non-union men out The
last hope of peace has been shattered by
President Shaffer's general strike order.
1t remains to be seen whether the union
men will adopt harsh measures to tie up
the tin plate mill.
At Youngstown.
Youngstown, Ohio.-The general strike
order Will have no effect in Youngstown,
or the Mahoning Valley. On July LIST
when the old scale expired all the mills
of the United States Steel Corporation
were closed down and not wheel has
turned since. In Youngstown the Steel
Hoop company owns two mills which en-
ploy $500 men. In Struthers. the Sheet
Steel company operates five-mill plant
of so men, and in Niles 1t has a plant en-
ploying the same number of men. In
Niles, also, the Tin Plate company oper-
ates a plant of six hundred men, and in
Warren the Steel Hoop company's mills
are idle and five hundred men are out.
They are all organized and have nearly all
secured jobs in independent mills and out
side work. The only move expected in
the valley at an early date is the strike
of the blast furnace men. They meet in
Niles Wednesday morning to take action
At Hyde Park.
HYDE Park, Pa-The five-mill plant of
the steel company, which started at
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, Is running
full and matters are proceeding smoothly.
considering the high feeling prevalent.
This mill has always run union and the
few association men remaining in the
town express resentment gainst the i'm
portation of men from the unorganized
plants at Vandergrift and Apollo. Most
of the association men who live here,
however have obtained work In other
towns on account of the continued idle
ness of the mill during the past year and
are now absent. Besides the men from
Apollo and Vandergrift and few from
I.eechburg, the plant is operated with
home labor
