one built at a cost of SIS, 900. They
are still talking Of the bridge across
che Ohio to Belpre. At Charleston
the nonunion McClintock-M Marshall
firm has II story structure. and the
derricks are up, waiting for the iron,
which is expected the middle of this
week. At Huntington they are fin
fishing partly concrete building, and
there is much promise of later work
my principal object in the trip
was to secure structural iron work
'ers, there being a great demand for
them. but | could not find many. l

NANTY-GLO MINE STRIKE

At Nanty-Glo, Pa, there is a strike
of miners on. 1t was called in order
to prevent an attempt of the Manly
Clio Mining Co. from reducing the
standard of the mine cars from 80
hundred weight to % hundred
weight The men are out in oppo-
sition to District Presidents Gilday
of the United Mine Workers, Of
which they are members. On this
account the district executive refuses
to send in aid.
Gilday, after a conference with the
mine management, urged the men to
return to work, declaring that,
though they were right, it was poor
time to strike. The men, however,
contended that to accept the reduc-
ton demanded of them while con-
tinuing at work would have Sestab-
lished a bad precedent r which it
would be harder to do away with
later on.
The strikers solicit aid. Other.
miners will be compelled to submit
to the same bad conditions If the
Nanty-Glo men lose. Send all con-
tributions to Ed. NJ, Hill, Manly Clio,
Pa.

Great Pressure
On Mil Men
From Every Source To Induce Them
' To Return to Work
Now.
VALIANT FIGHTERS
HOLD IN CHECK
Critical Point Will Be Reached at
End of Scale Year, u
July 1. i
VALIANT FIGHTERS
HOLD IN CHECK

The striking mill. men are passing
through the most severe time of their
long strike. against the inhumanity of
the Steal Trust barons. From every
side has come pressure to compel
them to go back to work. The men
who have stood valiantly against all
kinds of high wage inducements are
being. besieged by merchants and
press and pulpit to surrender. Some
few have done SO, but the majority of
them, valiant fighters that they have
proved themselves to be. are holding
the thousands in line for the few
more weeks that remain before the
critical period, the end Of the scale
year, June 80.
AS was expected, the dissatisfaction
is being famed since the close of
the convention. Merchants who had
hoped that the convention would
call off the strike, have been telling
the boys that they cannot trust them
any longer, and all the daily news
papers have been using their utmost
efforts to; break the spirit of the men.
In some places those. whose minds
have been worked upon by these
agencies have been gathered into
mass formation to agitate a-cowardly
surrender.
1t is evident that the battle, If 1t is
not TO- end, must spread,and the work
of organization must be carried into
every trust mill of every kind. 1t is
likely that this will be tried. The
thoughtful ones, however, are agreed
that this is the best time of the year
to fight the trust, and they believe
surrender now would be foolish.
With the approaching warm weather
the Trust will experience the most
difficult, time of the whole year to
secure men.
