trict and local organizations, and the

situation before the strike. The
union has gained thousands of mem

Evarts battles, which followed a re-

field last spring and efforts of local
authorities to discourage organiza-
ton, has brought the indictment of
81 union sympathizers for murder,

indictments continue to pile up.

SMALL STEEL.
Mill STRIKES.
HERALD MORE
Metal League Calls On
Strikers to Elect
Strike Committees

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 3.-Two
small strikes in steel mills in suburbs
of Pittsburgh may mean the begin
ming of vast strike movement, for
the whole metal industry is throb-
bling with the resentment of the
workers against the speed-up, the I'M
employment and the wage-cuts.
Five hundred young workers struck
Sept. 1 at the Mckinney Manu-
featuring Co. plant at Penn Ave.
and Chateau St., North Side, Pitts
burgh, against per cent wage
cut. These young men and girls had
been working for 10 cents an hour up
to 81 cents, the most that was paid.
Metal League Busy.
The strike is at present in the
hands of the foremen of each de-
partment, who all got 10 per cent
cut. But these bosses are in the
process of selling it out, and the
Metal Workers Industrial League is
rushing in the effort to organize the
rank and file for a real struggle IN
der their own strike committees.
Leaflets are being distributed by the
Metal Workers Industrial League,
calling on the strikers to take the
direction of the strike into their own
hands.
The other strike is at McKeesport,
where the night shift of about so
men in the Fort Pitt Steel Castings
Co. walked out Sept. 2 against 10
per cent wage-cut, the third such
cut in two months. This plant,
though small, is right next door to
the enormous National Tube Mills
and is itself subsidiary of the Nc
Keesport Tin Plate Co. The mill Is
tied up by the strike of the night
shift.
Today the superintendent called
the men Of his plant together and
told them: I'VE don't like to give you
this cut, but we are acting on the
orders Of the U. S. government itself,
which has instructed that wages be
cut in all mills throughout the coun-
try"
National Secretary John Mellon
Of the Metal Workers Industrial
League, with Organizers Joe ballet
and Frank Hill, were at the strike
scene q few hours after the men
walked out. They called the strikers
together for a meeting, organized the
picket line for Sept. and urged the
strikers to select their strike COM
nittee to lead the struggle.
Worked On Short Time.
The Fort Pitt men, like the work
ers in other McKeesport plants, have
been working only one of two days
week. Work is heaped on them
till now one man is doing the work
of three. None of the shifts is work
ing full-handed, but the men are
speeded up until they do more work
than a full crew.
Laborers work IS and IA hours a
turn. Before the cut, laborers got
"a day. This is being cut is per
cent and the family must line on 50
or Sc a week.
SO bad are the conditions that re-
lief must start as soon as the strike
starts. Several workers said they
have hardly loaf of bread in the
house, although they have worked
every time the foundry worked in the
last six months.

THE COPPER CRISIS

During 1881 efforts will be
made to curtail the production
of copper and to adjust supply
to demand.
10 1880 copper prices reached
the lowest point in years. and
for part of the year some mines
actually suffered loss on every
ton of metal they sold. This
condition was principally the
result of overproduction and the
consequent increase of surplus
stocks on hand.
Copper is not alone in being
an "over-produced" commodity
OIL, wheat. rubber, coffee and
many other necessary articles
are ia the same economic boat.
Production of all increased stead
lily for several years, while, in
1880, demand was below normal.
In the case of copper, the dis
covery and development of large
deposits of the metal ia other
parts of the world, where cheap
labor is readily ootainable, has
played q part in demoralizing
the domestic industry.
