THE STEEL STRIKE
 AND NEW BRITAIN.

The average New Britain person, given to thinking and tracing cause and effect is undoubtedly askin g himself: How am l going to feel the steel strike; what is it going to do to me and my job?" It is a very per- tinent question these days.
 There are about eighteen thousand workmen in the city who are em- ployed in the larger factories. This does not apply to many others who work in smaller places, but the men, toned figure covers the great esta b. -ishments, every one of which is more or less dependent upon steel for use in it's factory. Ours is known as the Hardware City; hardware fur nishes the greater part of our prod ucts, and steel is largely used in hard ware. What is the man to do who uses steel to fashion his handiwork if he cannot get the steel? His reten- ton as a non- producer in the factory will be impossible; factory profits are figured too close for that. He will be out of a job. Not today, nor tomo-- row; but if the strike continues, if there is no more production at the labor will find itself unable to earn living, whether or not they are willing to work.
 There is a probability that there are small stocks of raw products in most of the factories-enough to keep them running for a month or so But the opportunity to obtain steel has not been as great as it once was, and, even if the will was there, the local as large a supply as they would like to have available. Workers in the steel industry are soon to illustrate the ability of one branch of labor to affect. another.
 Later, after enough people are workless, the storekeeper, and the
 
 to come on when the payrolls are cut down. We, the common people, are helplessly looking on while the Glasses of the industrial world have their fight out. We cannot say to the capitalists, Give in"; we can- not say to labor, ''Go back to york;" We are without any aid in the strife, though we do the suffering, whatever the outcome. All that is our privi- lege is that we may hope for the best. But if we suffer-We, the public someone, some day, will be held to account. It may be labor, it may be it's opponents; but public sentiment is going to find way out of it's diff culties somehow. The common peo- pie have been the goat long enough

From the Orchestra Pit.
(HartfOrd TimeS.)

There are musicians and musicians Without risking further classification there are, for instance, the theater musicians, the music makers who di- vert or lrr1tate, as the case may be, theatergOers before, between and aft CT the acts. Anent the actors strike now happily ended, in which both sides seem to have come off victorious With actors, managers and everybody smiling, one of these theater musi- clans signing himself "B. B. E." con- trlbuted a letter to the New York Sun during the progress of the strike which was calculated to give some- thing of a jolt to readers with sympa- thetic leanings toward the striking players. B. B. S." wrote to the Sun as follows: So we musicians are helping the actors and actresses-we men of the pit whose heads they look over no less when they are off stage than when they are on, except some times when they make mistake Then they glare down at our leader so the audience will think that it is our fault. Or sometimes after an act they notice us enough to curse us through our leader for some blunder of their own.
 
 master his instrument. If he can average s35 a week he is fortunate. He furnishes the music for men and women who get hundreds a week, or for group of girls who last year were at school, perhaps and this year are being paid more than a musician who has years of experience. And all of them must have lights, scenery, costumes, training and teaching. And now they call on to help them and we must stop work.
 Last year my wife died. The man. ager I worked for paid for the doctor and for the funeral. He wouldn't even let me thank him. But now I am ordered to leave him Tn the lurch be- cause actors and actresses need us to help them win. They gush over us now. We're old tops and 'dears' I wonder what they'd have called us if we'd asked them to stop work to help us."
 All of which goes to show that the actor has not quite universally been regarded as all lamb, nor the man. ager as all lion. But now that the lion and the lamb have lain down together perhaps the theater musi- elan will more than ever wonder where he comes in, or if, in fact, he comes in at all. Perhaps he will con- Clude that he himself is the only lamb in sight. Tn any case there is a good deal to be said for that division of he theater forces represented by "B. E. E. The theater musician does have a hard and thankless time of it. And it would seem if the manager having apparently conceded something O the actor might or should in fair less now say next gentleman" to the heater musician. The public expects he lemon as usual, of course. But that's another story.

Chicago Plants Closed.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Dawn of the second day of the nation wide strike in the steel industry found nearly all the plants in the Chicago district either closed down CT working with a greatly reduced force.
 Labor leaders asserted today that more than 5 per cent of the work CTS in the district have left their work, while company officials said the number who failed to report at the mills was not mere than 20 per cent. of the total of rearly 9O,0OO men employed in the district
 Tn this district the strike has de- veloped no violence. At Gary, Ind, guards escorted from the works men who had continued their employ ment, and crowds of strikers about the gates did not menace them. Some damage was reported there from failure to draw liquid steel from furnaces.
 Want Sympathetic Strike.
 A sympathetic strike of the mem bers of the union of steam and op- erating engineers in the Chicago dis trict was regarded as a possible ad- dition to the ranks of the steel mill workers who walked out. Engineers at Gary who left their work yester- day reiterated statements that they would remain out On the other hand Secretary H. M. Com erford declared that even if this union had personal grievances it would not strike in the face of a request made by the president of the United States that no action be taken until he had opportunity to confer with the var ious parties to the controversy on October s.
