IN this section of Fayette county. The
coke workers and miners here have
been having prosperous times for a
long period. The miners have been
averaging anywhere from $3.50 TO IS
a day, while the coke drawers have
Jared equally as we'll. This move will
result in nearly 400 men being forced
into idleness any many are now leav-
Ing for other parts of the region. The
plants will work FIVE days a week in
stead OF six as has been the general
run of things for some time.
A report from Wellsyille SAYS:
To-day was pay day to both union
and non-union men. The strikers re-
ceived their first strike benefits and the
non-unionists their frsI full pay;
taken together about $4,000 was dis
tributed between the two factions and
yet no serious trouble has occurred,
principally because the non-union men
have judiciously kept themselves under
cover during the cay, while more than
100 strikers are constantly on the
streets
The strikers at Monessen are jubi-
liant tonight over the result of the
trials of the three Amalgamated strik-
ers, whose case on the charge of Illegal
liquor selling came up to-day at
Grensburg. The grand jury brought
in true bill against the accused men,
but the evidence against them was not
strong enough and the indictment was
dismissed. Willard Elkins, chief
clerk in the tin plate mill here. was
the prosecutor. There is still no
change in the local strike situation.
The strikers of Canal Dover
are preparing petition for the disso-
luton of the Injunction restraining
them from picketing the vicinity of the
mills and are also making an effort to
get the city council to impeach the
Mayor and remove him from office.
Two of the charges will be absence
from town beyond the time specified by
law without appointing deputy in his
absence, an, 1T he is still employed
by the trust as attorney and acting as
Mayor at the same time.
1t is learned tonight from reliable
authority in spite of the great secrecy
maintained by Messrs. Burns and Shat
fer concerning the telephone CONVEX
sation between President Schwab and
President Burns that something deci-
sive may result.
1t is said that President Schwab de-
clined to have any conference with
President T. j. Shaffer. of the Amalga-
mated Association, on the grounds that
he no longer represented any of the
men employed by the corporation. All
union men have left the employ of the
company. II these steel workers re-
turn to work at once, and the mills re-
sumo operations in full, the whole mat
ter Is said
To Assume Different Aspect
and a discussion between the officials
of the trust and the Amalgamated Of
fcials can take place. Immediately
after this conversation Mr.. Burns went
to President Shaffer and urged him to
call meeting of the executive board or
the organization at once, so that the
men could be ordered to work at the
earliest moment possible. 1t is under
stood that this order will be issued not
later than Tuesday, and would have
been Issued before then had 1t been
possible to get the executive committee
of the organization together. President
Shaffer, while declining to discuss the
matter. remained at his office until
late hour tonight, and was much occu-
pied. Appearance indicated that he
was preparing for some Important
move but nothing could be learned
from him Of the actual situation.
