PITTSBURGH, Nov. 27-On the
heels Of the positive declaration Of the
striking trainmen of the United States
Steel Company that they will refuse
to return to work until the company
lifts the blacklist from the officers Of
the union and agrees TO give every
striker his old job back, came the re-
port that carloads of strikebreakers
were already hidden in the big plants
at Homestead and Braddock. The
company has placed cots in the labor
atories and is prepared to house the
strike breakers. Armed guards are
patrolling the outside of the mill and
detachments of State constabularies
1.-The black cossacks' are within strik-
ing distance ready to be rushed into
service whenever the steel company
managers want them.
The tie up is complete in the two
mammoth plants on opposite sides Of
the Monongahela river. Only four
Of the 80 engines Of the Homestead
plant were moving and every siding Is
filled with idle cars.
None of the skilled or unsklled
laborers ia the plan have more than
days work at the outside available,
and unless the strike ends quickly or
b the company is able to break up the
car tie up with strike breakers the
mills Will have to shut down COM
pletely.
There is every possibility that even
If strike breakers are put to work
the cars will not move, as it was
rumored today that the union train
men and switchmen of the railroads
centering at this city would refuse
to handle cars loaded ana taken from
the steel reservations through the
