slant small additions to the ranks OF
the strikers were claimed and il was
asserted that many men who worked
last week would be missing from the
mills this week.
"The mills are making a lot Of
smoke and noise" said William z.

strikers here, "but they are doing
little, IL any, real production"

the strike. Strikers held meetings in
several districts under police super
vision, with no trouble occurring.
Agreement With Men.
The West Penn Steel Company, al
Breckenridge. believed the strike at
their plant had been broken by the
pledge Of 300 men to return to work
today. It is said an agreement had
been reached with native-born work
men that a strike does not exist and
that men who voted against return
ing to work will be declared to have
quit their positions. Sufficient men,
they said, reported last night to per-

All districts reported order. In
Donora, where il was feared clashes
might occur between negro guards

When the House District Of CoIum-
