STEUBENNIII.E. o.. July 23.-The
feature of to-day in the Pope tin mill
strike situation was the jubilaiion
over the fact that large number ot
men had quit work at the Clarksburs
plant. This gave tho strikers conf
dence that they would have ultimate
victory in the strike here. oven II q
large part of the mill Is now working
open plant. Rumors that part OF the
Weirton plant was shut down by men
quitting proved false. as that plant Is
operating full. There was no disorder
to-day. but It may break ont at any
time when men from the mill attempt
to come out on the streets. Tho
authorities. after four weeks OF dis.
order. have decided to be frmer in
stamping out disorder. and hereafter
any men agitatinE on the street Will
be arrested under the riot act.
