Preparations to start Operations

Pits burg. Pa. sept 5.-Prepara- tions have been completed for the starting up of the Demmler tin plate plant at Mckeesport. The start will be made with a full force of deputy sheriffs on guard. the American Tin Plate Co. having served notice on Sheriff Mckinley of this tAlleghenyD county that violence was feared. The introduction of he strong arm of the law into he steel strike will. it is believed, undoubtedly bring about crisis in the situation In some quarters II IS thought il may lead 10 an early settlement of the present labor troubles. and in others that the presence of the sheritf'S forces may result in conflict. The request for protection was made by Supt. Lauck and sheriff Mckinley at once made arrangements for dispatching large number of deputies to 1he scene. The deputies will be under the command of Chief Deputy Lowry. although Sheriff Mckinley may accompany him.
 H' 'lliCl ttDhtN Ndid Ht Niu not anticipate trouble. The strikers. he said would be treated with the ut most respect, bu; they would not be permitted to encroach upon property that is not theirs. The deputies will be armed.
 President Shaffer of the Amalga- mated association said he knew last week that the request would be made for protection.
 If our men keep away from the mills. which have no doubt they will. said he, they can put all the deputies they want there"
 President Shaffcr will be on hand, or have trusted assistant at the plant to see that no violence is done to strike breakers and that his men make no demonstration.
