STRIKERS MAKE GAINS
Succeed in Closing Two Plants Of
of the Steel Trust.
THEY ARE JUBILANT
Steel Officials Though Disappointed at
the Shut Down Say They VIII
Soon Have Other Mills in -
R@ Operation at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Aug. 2l.-The tieup Of the
Continental and Pennsylvania tube
plants of the National Tube company in
this city was completed during Monday
night and early this morning. The ma
chinists and the few other employees of
the Pennsylvania works have gone out
but otherwise the two properties are ST.
lent and deserted. The shutting down
of the two plants adds about 1900 men
to the force of strikers, and has cheered
the other strikers to high pitch of en-
thuGasm.
Officials Of the National Tube compa-
ny would not discuss the strike beyond
saying they had been keenly disappoint-
cd throughout the strike by the attitude
of their men and they hope that in time
they viii come to their senses and come
back. Another steel official when told
of the strike said:
"Let the good work go on. Brother
Shaffer is very rapidly getting a tor
heavy strike. The larger his army, the
quicker it will break up. Just wait
until he begins to hustle money fol
strike benefits. I hope Chicago does &c
out. The more the merrier."
Steel managers announce another
mill was on at CLARK mills and that the
property is now running in full. Other
properties they say are running as they
were Monday. They denied the story
that there had been a break at Du
quesne.
The strikers claim they have again
crippled the Lindsay and McCutcheou
mills by taking some Of the non-unior
men and also capturing several skilled
men on the way into the plant, bat the
managers say they are working ont
mill as usual and will have q couple
more mills on before the end Of tbs
week.
