Big Strike Spreads to Fabricating Plants at
 Y ung s t o W n, Ohio

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Sept. 24.- Although the shutdown in the steel plants is complete in the Mahoning valley, the momentum gathered dur ing the first few hours of the strike has carried even beyond the oal. It has spread to the fabrica Ing plants, two of which are closed. They employed about 750 men. The Youngstown Pressed Steel company was also forced to close today. ,.
 A total of 44,o00 men are idle in the district but how many of these are strikers is not known. The claims of union organizations ap- proximate 90 per cent of this num- Der. Employers, however, dispute this claim, eontending that thou sands of their employees did not strike but were forced to quit work because of a shortage of unskiIled labor, which is being organized by the unions. It is also claimed by the employers that many men quit work through fear of bodily injury.
 Beginning today with the Younss- town Sheet and Tube company, the companies are preparing to pay off the workers for the pay period, which in most instances runs to September IS. Approximately 15,- 900 employees of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company were paid today. There was no disorder.
 Closing of the steel industry is making itself felt in other lines of labor. Railroads serving the steel plants today laid off a hundred yard crews, comprising 800 men. Railroad officials say approximately 90 per cent of the 2,500 men em- pIoyed as yard crews will be laid off before the strike is many days old.
