 ON STEEL TRUST.
WANT TO UNloNlzE EMPLoYES
Building Operations May be Tied Up If Plans of Labor Leaders to Bring Corporation to Time Are Carried Out.


 New York, Nov. 26.-The figh' which the American Federation oi Labor intends to wage against the United Steel corporation is already getting under way. lLe date for tnd American Federation of Labor "coun' cil of war" in Pittsburg is December 13. It was learned, however. that President Gompers and other mem bers of the federation executive coun cil, who have been in New York at tending the National Civic federation, were in conference with prominent labor leaders from this city and else. where relative to the crusade which the American Federation of Labor will wage for the unionization of all tho steel trusts employees.
 The magnitude of the job confront ing the federation Is thoroughly ap- preciated. the labor leaders say, and 1t is this very fact that they count on most strongly for success.
 A victory over the steel trust. the biggest industrial combination in ex- istence, which, according to a story told at the recent federation conven- ton, is the most formidable enemy of organizaed labor" would have tre- mendous moral effect in labor warfare elsewhere and for this reason those who will conduct the campaign are preparing to expend every energy to make the fight successful It was learned that one of the things that will be proposed and likely adopted at the Pittsburg council. will be de termined effort to make the building trades department of the federation refuse to engage in any building opera tions where the steel used Is not made In union mills. It Is admitted that this would result in serious tieup of the building industry.
 Another weapon that will be used against the steel trust will be a war against the Pittsburg Steamship com pany. known as the "Steel Trust Fleet" which carries most of the ore of the trust The strongest effort will be made to cripple the lake vessels of the trust by unionizing it's employees.

than thousand copyrights had been viola ted
The Northport extracts. It was stated. were taken
from the plaintiffs National Reporter system.
Judge Chatfeld decided, however, that there
