STRIKE SITUATION IN CHICAGO APPEARS
OMINOUS
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TR1BuNE.I


Chicago Aug. There is an Ominous quiet
among the steel workers at the South Chicago
plants II is said to be the calm before the
storm which everybody feels will soon break.
The workmen will not talk, and the officials of
the steel company inaccessible. Captain
Shippy, Of the South Chicago police station,
says the situation is exceedingly grave and IL is
impossible for any man to say what will hap
pen. The general belief is that the men will
strike. But just when the strike will go into
effect nobody can tell. w. c. Davis, vice-presi-
dent of the tenth district of the Amalgamated
Association, is still in Milwaukee
The steel company has undoubtedly prepared
for a long struggle. The steel works are sur
rounded by a G-foot fence, which has recently
been improved. Weak spots in the fence have
been strengthened. and barbed wire has been
stretched at the top. The fence suggests a
fortress with its numerous lodgehouses at the
gates where policemen stationed now, in
addition to regular guards provided by the
corporation. 1t is impossible to get inside with
out pass and it is almost impossible TO secure
a pass Daily meetings of the men have been
held until to-day The general feeling among
the men is not unanimous for a strike Some
want to quit, but great many are hesitating
before going into a contest, the end OF which
no one can forcsee a meeting has been called
for next Sunday afternoon in the Calumet The
atre. The workers are simply awaiting the re-
turn of President Davis and local leaders
are unwilling TO express an opinion with ref
erence 10 the strike.

FOUR MOUNT VERNON STUDENTS SUP

A GALE RETURN.

Four Mount Vernon high schcol boys who
supposed to be drowned arrived home at
11:30 o'clock last night and were quite
prsed to hear Of the cor--1otion their absence
had caused. They had a narrow escape from
death in the storm of Tuesday. They left Sea
Cliff Tuesday afternoon, and had barely got
under sail for South Norwalk when a squall
came up. The boys, seeing that they would
have time to reef the sails. dropped anchor
and. putting on their best clothes. abandoned
the yacht and struck for shore in the dngy.
Before they reached the beach the squall struck
the dingy and tossed II about until it became
unmanageable. Then II began to fill with water
and all hands set to bang After being tossed
about for hour or more the shpwrecked stu
dents finally reached the beach, where they(
sprang out and swan ashore. hey slept all

A SURPRISE TO STRIKERS.
STEALS A MARCH ON THEM AND
STARTS WITH NON-UNION MEN.

Pittsburg. Aug. THE Clark plant. which has
been closed since the strike began. resumed op-
erations to-day with about one hundred men
and boys Two mills were started up. and the
superintendent says two more will be running
before the end OF the week. The resumption was
a surprise 10 the strikers, and CONSERVATION
reigned among them when they learned that
Captain Louis T. Brown, general superintendent
of the mill. had stolen march on them and
started up the 10 and i inch mills. A few of
the strikers were around the plant early, and
when they the two mills in operation they
were speechless with surprise, and hurried away
10 inform their companions. Soon many Of them
rushed 10 the works TO witness the sight for
themselves, as they could hardly believe the
story. II was true, nevertheless. The mills
started at the regular hour this morning with
about one hundred men and boys. and Captain
Brown says the entire plant viii be running be-
fore the end Of the week. We had no trouble
whatever in securing men," said Captain Brown
"Of those that went 10 work this morning, some
are old men and some new men. We have many
applications hand. and will send out word to-
day to those whom We can give employment
just when 70 report for duty. The 20-inch mill
has been running steadily since the strike began,
the men operating this one refusing 10 go out
with the strikers. Everything is running along
smoothly, and expect no trouble whatever"
About the entrance many men were found who
said they were seeking work.
In regard TO the upper and lower union mills
of the Carnegie company. at Thirty-third and
Twenty-ninth SITS, Captain Brown who has
these mills also under his supervision said they
were running along quietly. and he does not ex-
pect the 10 go out Saturday, when Presi-
dent Shaffer's order goes into effect. He said
the lower mill was not organized by the Anal
gamated. and al neither Of the mills has there
been any indication that the men would strike
When word was received at the Amalgamated
headquarters that the Clark mill was in partial
operation Vice-President Gibson hurried to the
scene When he returned he said only
striker had gone back work, and the rest were
negroes. Where they came from he could not
say, but he supposed that they We're brought
into the city last night He denied Captain
Browns statement that two mills were in op-
Grafton, and said only was running. He said
the starting Of the mill would have no effect on
the strikers They were not discouraged. and
no effort would be made TO get the men out
that were now working. Concerning the upper
and lower Carnegie mills, he asserted that when
the order went into effect on Saturday il would
gardess Of what the owners say.

WHY STRIKE ORDER WAS DELAYED.

Pittsburg. Aug 7.-Secretery Williams this after
noon explained the of the delay in issuing the
strike order. He said that If the order had been
sent out when negotiations broken off last
Saturday the sudden closing of the steel mills
would have resulted in serious loss of property
the United States Steel Corporation.
We could not have expected public sympathy
said he. IF We had done this. Instead gave the
company sufficient notice prepare for a shut
down. and II there is any loss incidental TO the
closing of the plants IL will not be our fault OF
course the more radical people will criticise our
action and allege that by not stopping the mills a
week earlier we unnecessarily prolong the strike
This may be true. but we prefer to act honorably
and by doing retain the public sympathy
