The belief that Germany can de-

In the Pittsburgh District.

Pittsburgh. Sept. Give got away
in good shape in most of our plants in
and around Pittsburgh this morning"
said representative OF the Carnegie
company when asked for a statement.
I'VE are agreeably surprised at the
showing made was the announcement
OF William u. Foster, secretary of the
national committee of steel workers,
which is in charge of the Pittsburgh
district.
The Carnegie company did not issue
formal statement but gave out for
publication information which is was
announced came from superintendents
OF various plants.
At Homestead the Carnegie repre-
sentative said whole departments are
in operation, with Il few men absent.
Some of the blast furnaces are bank
ed. The same situation was reported
at the company works at Braddock. At
Duquesne the company said it's infor-
nation was that the works were in 100
per cent operation.
All the plants of the Carnegie COM
pany were reported to be operating
close to 100 per cent. Summing up the
representative of the company said,
THE situation might have been worse"
He said the strikers We're nearly all
foreigners.
MIR. Foster, in his review of the situ-
alton. said he was agreeably surprised
at the number Of men out. 1T will be
two days before the fun weight of the
strike will be felt" he said. He said
Homestead and Braddock were In bad
shape" From labor officials came the
information that there was no trouble
anywhere i'll the Pittsburgh district.
Information from the employers was
to the effect that the strike line was
sharply drawn between foreigners and
Americans. Blast furnaces. according
to company sources, where the largest
percentage of foreigners are employed,
were the hardest hit. The furnaces
were expected to be the weakest spots
from the corporation point Of view.
Reports from the West Bend and AL
legheny steel companies were to the
effect that %5 per cent OF their men,
mostly foreigners, failed to report for
work.
Several men had their heads dubbed
and twenty arrests were made in the
borough of Claiton when the Pennsyl-
vania state police had q brush wa
crowds that refused to disperse. Sew

cording to Claiton police headquarters.
