BENT ON LONG FIGHT.
WaIkout Of Joliet Steel Workers
Causes Cessation of Peace
Talk,

Pittsburg, Aug. 16.-The action OF the
steel workers OF the Illinois Steel COM
pany at Joliet in voting to strike has
cheered the steel strikers more than any
other event OF the week, al d their hopes
again seem high. 1t has ended for the
time being all talk Of peace by compro-
mise and given the fight the aspect OF a
prolonged one.
The strikers declare in their epth usi-
asm that they will force the Milwaukee
men to join them, and that in the end
the Chicago steel workers, rather than
lose the hall mark OF unionism, will
finally reconsider their action and swing
into line. This optimistio program re-
mains to be carried out, however.
The loss at Joliet has had no apparent
effect upon the men who srs directing
the field operations Of the steel corpora
tion. One OF them remarked when he
heard the news from Joliet: well, it
seems to be settling down TO long
drawn-out fight, and guess we can win
ot that sort OF game"
