Stay Home" Is the Word to the La. porers Who Went Back to Europs Last Fall-SteeI Trust the Latest t, Adopt the Plan--American Labor Cheapest in the End.

Pittsburg, July 22-The H. c. Prick Coke company, fuel end of the Steel corporation, placed orders with many employment agencies in Pittsburg for men to work at the coke ovens in the Connelsville field A stipulation that all must be Americans, or at least must have been residents of the United States for certain number of years, brings out the fact that the steel cor poration has joined hands with other concerns in trying to do away with the illiterate foreigner.
 In the last week steamship agencies in the Pittsburg district have cabled to Europe instructions to about 10000 foreigners who went tome at the bc, ginning of the recent financial strin- gency that they shotfd not return. They are told that those who for years employed them would not re-employ them, that their places were to be filled with English-speaking workmen, for whom cozy homes were being built.
 Some of the big concerns have drawn plans for towns in which houses will be rented to the workmen. It is said that the American laborers are cheaper in the long run, that they work better. And in addition they put some of the money they earn in cir culation-something the foreigner has not done.
