Chicago, Oct. 2. = Developments
of the strike of steel mill employees
in the Chicago district to-day were
regarded by company officials as
pointing to a continuance of the
gradual return to work noted, in
many of the plants yesterday. 1t
was stated authoritatively that op-
Grafton with so per cent. of its force
of 1000 workmen would be begun
to-day by the Mark Manufacturing
Company at Indiana Harbor. Ind.
All of the employees at that mill
walked out when the strike was
called eleven days ago.
From Gary, Ind, and South Chi
cago. came reports of increasing
numbers of employees returning to
work with the resultant enlarged
production. Similar reports came
from Waukegan.
Labor leaders maintained, how
ever, their emphatic denials of
claims made by the company heads.
"The big majority of employees still
are out" they asserted, "and will
remain out" Their absence, the
leaders assert. ultimately >will force
the employers to terms.
