WAGES TOO LOW
FOR THEIR WORK
Many Thousand Workmen on
Strike in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and West Virginia.

Pittsburg, July 15.-Between 5000 and
81, GOO workmen-coal, miners, tin and sheet
plate workers and members of the various
steel crafts-are on, strike today through
out western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio
and West Virginia.
A majority Of the idle men are in the
Pittsburg district Excepting the strike
at the Pressed Steel Car company at Nc
KEGS Rocks, where rlOtlng occurred last
night and early today resulting in the
shooting and beating of thirty persons the
strikers are orderly.
The situation today in the Pittsburg dis
trict is unusual, treading as it does, on
the heels of an apparent wave of pros
perity.
Assumptions have been ordered in all
trades and men who have been without
work for many months are being afforded
employment
Grievances of the Men.
In several instances the men claim their
employers are offering them too low
wages for their work. The officials assert
conditions do not warrant higher pay at
this time.
Other grievances include the alleged vio-
lation of the eight-hOur workday and rec
ignition of organized labor.
The trouble is spreading to the indepen-
dent sheet and tin plate plants and there
is apparently no hope for adjustment.
Twelve persons were injured when mem
bers Of the Pennsylvania state constabu-
larry and steel strikers clasheG today at
the plant of the Pressed Steei Car COM
pany, McKee's Rocks. ThEee Of the in
jured are in a serious condition. More
than a score of strikers and their SYM
uathizers were placed under arrest.
Two hundred deputy sheriffs and special
officers are on duty.

of feeling that she was still Thaw' s

possible grounds upon which she could
