Michael F. Tighe fthe Amalgamated Association. himself a Wheeling man. Mir. Tighe expressed confidence that the South Chicago men would join the strike early next week. He left this afternoon late, for Chicago. where he is. to address the South Chicago men Sunday. His appearance there, he said, is to refute statements made in an open letter from the fourteen work CTS who claim the contracts entered into with the Illinois Steel Company cannot be disregarded. T will say to them" said MT Tighe, that con tract like this cannot hold water when its observance means the very death of the organization whose members en. tered into it. believe my view will prevail and that South Chicago will join the strike.'
 A New Peace Story.
 A new story coming from a high la bor authority is to the effect that the Civic Federation will undertake to bring about a settlement of the strike and that John Mitchell. National Presi- dent of the Miners Union. will be the mouthpiece It is known that MT. Mitchell has declined to encourage a sympathetic strike of the miners, but he has offered every aid possible to the Amalgamated Association. The man who tells the story says President Mitchell will return to this city within a day or so when active steps will be taken. Joseph Bishop. Secretary of the Ohio State Arbitration Board. arrived here this evening and his presence lends color to the report.
 Today the Amalgamated Association succeeded in forming a new lodge among the workmen at the DuQuesne plant of the Carnegie Company. and one of the new members not knowing he was talking to a newspaper man. indiscreetly made the statement that a strike had been ordered at that plant to begin at once. His version is that the men when they left the plant to- night are not to return Sunday night. No specific confirmation of the story can be had tonight.
 Strikers as Policemen.
 Mayor Black of McKeesport. it is said, swore in twenty-five prominent striker stonight to serve as extra po- licemen. This action was taken because Superintendent Pitcock of the Demm- Ter Tin Plate Works notified the May or today that the mill would be started on Monday morning and police prote0- ton was desired.
 A telegram from Wellesville tonight says:
 Interest was for a time transferred to East Liverpool this afternoon where Homer Thompson. Jr.. one of the men who went back to work in Irondale mill was arrested on charge of car rying concealed weapons and fined $9.6e by the Mayor of that city After he had been released he was met at the depot by a mob who gave him a frightful beating. When the train ar rived J. E. Mcdonald, pro- Ntnt attorney of that city. assisted T, .np- son onto the train. and when he re- turned to the depot platform was set upon by a crowd of union potters and run up Broadway to his office with d crowd of 800 men following behind on the dead run shouting derisively at him The miners employed in the mines of the American Tin Plate Company at Irondale came out on strike today rather than mine coal to be used ir operating the mill non-union. Tht strikers claim all the skilled workmer employed in the 1rondale- plant this afternoon promised that they would work no more If they were taken back into the association. This the strikers promised and it is hardly probable thai mill will work on Monday unless new men are imported to operate it."
