State ConstabuIary

Pittsburg, July 15.-Between $4,000
and 10000 workmen-coal miners, tin
and sheet plate workers and members
of the various steel crafts-are on
strike today throughout Western
Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West

district is unusual, treading as 1t does
on the heels of an apparent wave OF
prosperity
Assumptions have been ordered In

without work for many months arc

In several instances, the men claim
their employers are offering them too
low wages for this work The officials
assert conditions do not warrant high
er pay at this time.
Other grievances include the alleged
violation of the elght-hour work day
and recognition of organized labor.
The trouble is spreading TO the in
dependent sheet and tin plate plants,
and there Is apparently no hope for
adjustment.
Twelve persons were injured when
members of the Pennsylvania state
constabulary and steel strikers clashed
today at the plant OF the Pressed Steel
Car company, McKeeS Rocks. Three
of the injured are in a serious condt-
tion More than a score OF strikers
