STRIKE CLOSES MILLS
FIFTEEN HUNDRED MlsN ARE OUT
OF EMPLOYMENT.


PITTSBURG, Dec. 4-The switchmen's
strike, combined with the car shortage, is
blamed for the closing down of six mills
in Homestead tonight. The mills which
closed are as follows: The 32-inch mill,
the 3S-inch mill, the 4S-inch, the 2S-inch,
Bessemer converting and the blooming
mills. The shut down throws about 1900
men out of employment for the time be-
ing and it is said if the situation is not
soon relieved other mills will have to
close down. The shutdown tonight will
partially cripple several of the other
mills, as they get their working ma
terials from the closed mills.
There are 5000 tons of finished product
in the Homestead yards which cannot be
moved. McKeesport suffers with Homs-
stead and in addition to the shut-downs
there, the merchants are complaining Dit
terly at their inability to get goods in
from the East.
Railroad officials said tonight they were
able to handle in good shape al new
freight and promise that the eongestet
condition in the entire district will soon
be relieved.

M'ClEARY is TOO SWIFT
DAIRYMEN WILL BACK THE TAW-
NEY CLEO BILL
Ambitious Little SchOoImaster Finds
Rock IN His Faith Toward

FROM THE GLOBE BUREAU,
washington. ID. C.

WASHINGTON, Dec. At has been
decided after all that the Tawney bill
against oleo shall be the measure for
which the dairy interests will make q
fight. This in spite of the fact that Nc
Cleary got his bill introduced first. The
Tawney bill differs from McCleary's in
that it does not tax uncolored oleo. AS
originally offered, McClearys bill would
tax uncolored products a quarter of
cent pound, but since learning that the
dairy interests favor Tawney's idea Mr..
McCleary has altered his bill to CORE
spond Both have the feature of q 10
cent pound tax on colored cleo.
Right from the beginning McCleary has
been trying to cut in and steal Tawneys
thunder. Tawney led the fight last ses-
sion and the National Dairy union was
satisfied with his work 1t has been their
plan to work for Tawneys bill this win
ter. Some confusion has been caused by
McCleary's gratuitous activity, which, 1t
is charged, is inspired solely by desire
to get some advertising in the dairying
districts of Minnesota and bolster UP
boom which might do him good If he
gets a chance later to run for governor.
