Gary Mills Continue
Operations With Greatly
Reduced Forces of Men
BY Associated Press.


Gary, Ind, Sept. 22.-All mills IN
the Gary district were operating this
morning, the opening day of the ma
tion-wide strike of steelworkers.
The forces at all plants, however,
were materially reduced in number.
Three thousand men of the day shift
of 5000 had reported for work at Z
o'clock, according to operating off,
cials. 1t was said that virtually all
the American-born employees had re-
mained at work.
An official of the steel corporation
announced that in all of the sub
sidiary plants here one-third of the
regular force had reported early to-
day, while in the tin mills the per-
centage was much larger. Union
labor leaders were confident that not
more than ten per cent. of the regu-
lar employees had reported for work.
At the Illinois steel plant officials
said that 5000 out of $4,000 men on
day shift were at work.
Eight of the twelve blast furnaces
at the Illinois steel plant were
banked, officials said.
Switchmen's union officials said
that rail traffic in the yards of the
various steel plants was completely
tied up.
In defiance of the orders of the IN
ternational body not to strike, the
steam and operating engineers, upon
whom the movement of material in
side the mills depends, went out to-
day. Mill officials declare that
enough nonunion men are left in
this department to operate.

Only Few Foremen
Remain to Draw
Fire in Furnaces
ar A.sncintcd Prcts.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-Tce steel mills
at South Chicago of the Illinois Steel
Company closed this morning, only
q few foremen remaining to draw
the fires in the furnaces. Union Off
cials estimated that r!nety-five per
cent. of the 1000 men on the day
shift in the plant failed to report for
work. No official figures were given
out by the company. At the Illinois
Steel Company plant. Milwaukee
subsidiary of the United States Steel
Corporation, 500 of the 1900 day
workers failed to report, say union
officials.
All the steel plants in Hammond
were in operation, apparently about
as usual, this forenoon.
There are about 5000 men in the
Hammond plants, outside of those at
the Standard Steel Car Company,
where a strike had been on for sew
eral weeks. The Standard employs
about 5000 men normally, and re-
Gently has had about 500 men at
work on each shift, or about half OF
capacity. These 500 men on day
shift reported at work this forenoon.
The number of steel workers en-
ployed in the Chicago district is
estimated at 10000 and representa-
tlNeS OF the UNIONS lO-udy ISlu "
their previous claims that at least
eighty per cent. of these workers
would strike. Company officials said
the number of men who would quit
work would not exceed twenty per
cent. of the total and might not go
above fifteen per cent.
Six of the IL blast furnaces at the
South Chicago plant were closed
during the night, and should the
engineers carry out their threat to
strike it was said a total of 39 blast
furnaces in the Chicago district,
which included 43 mills within a
radius of 90 miles of this city, would
be compelled to close.
While the engineers at Gary, In
diana Harbor, Hammond and Joliet
have voted to strike in sympathy
with the steel workers, it was said
such action was in opposition to or
ders from their international Off
GERS. At Joliet union officials claim
ed that 900 men out of the 1000
employed at the Illinois Steel Com
pany's plant there walked out dur
ing the night and that before the
day was over more than half OF the
force would be out.
No disorders beyond the jeering
by strike sympathizers of men on
their way to work had been report
ed early to-day.

From labor, corporation and po-
lice sources came the information
that there was no trouble reported
anywhere in the Pittsburgh district

line is sharply drawn between
Americans and foreigners. The
Americans, it was said, as a rule
went to work, while the foreigners
were in the majority among the
strikers.
Blast furnaces, according to COM
pany sources, where the largest per-

New York, Sept. %. - The steel
strike exerted little adverse influence
over the stock market at the open

were least disturbed of any import
ant issues, opening mostly at gains
which extended from 1-2 a point in
u. S. Steel to 1 point in Bethlehem

these gains, however.
Stocks dependent upon the stabil-

though the motor group was inclined
to yield.
Trading was comparatively small
with no indications of urgent liquid
alton. Commission houses reported
