Iron
Workers to Strike

BY EDITH BRISCOE.

CANONSBURG, Pa. July %. -
The Budke mill Of the Canonsburg

workers go on the miners picket lines
Many of them helped to run Pat
Pagan out of Canonsburg on July 10,
and number of them have been ar
rested for fighting in support Of the

The Amalgamated Association OF
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers is busy
selling out the steel workers of the
Budke mill On July /. the company
announced wage cut of ten per cent
In notice put UP at the mill gates

August 8, all the "catchers" helpers
(catcherS are those who catch the
rolls in the nlills) are to be fired.
which viii mean twice as much work
for the catchers. Another condition
announced was the establishment Of
open shop conditions. The notice
read: "All those who fail to report to
the Office on August will be fired.
This wage cut aoects 200 to 800
workers. Over half of them are in

Of the steel workers are actually at
the point of starvation. Laborers
get s27o day, working just few
days a week.
The workers refused to work under
these starvation conditions.
But the Amalgamated at the very
outset of the wage cut program
showed it would fight to force the
workers to accept it. At their regular
meeting, these takers told the men to
go back to work and promised to
settle with the company But the
workers realized the fakery of this
promise, and stayed out solid
Then the Amalgamated began its
usual tricky maneuvers. Another
meeting was held, but the officials
carefully avoided the question Of the
strike. When they were forced to
take notice of it, they mildly suggested
that the workers stay out on Au-
gust 8, but made no preparations for
picketing. --rya
The policy of the Amaigamated is
to wait and see what the workers do
on August 2. They will try to keep
the workers from striking as long as
possible. If they strike anyway, they
will sell out the strike at the first or
portunity. The workers of the Budke
mill are aware Of the strike breaking
policy of the Amalgamated. They
are preparing to strike August 9th,
in spite of the Annalgamated. The
Metal Workers Industrial League is
now organizing the Budke mill work
ers for strike against the 10 per cent
cut and worsening Of conditions.

FATAL ACCIDENT
LAID TO OLD injury
Fire Lieutenant Retired for
Crushed Arm Is Victim
of Fall at Home.

The same injury that forced Lieut..
Elmer Hanback, to give up active duty
with the Fire Department probably was
responsible for his death last night in a
fall down the cellar steps Of the, home
where he was living in retirement. at
1911 Kansas avenue. He was As years
old.
Lieut.. Hanback's right arm developed
partial paralysis after 1t had been
crushed in fire ladder, and he was re-
tired from the department some 10
months ago.
He also sustained internal injuries,
according to his family, and an after
math of these had confined him to his
bed for the past week. Last night he
felt somewhat better and offered to
assist his wife, Mrs. Ella Louise Han
back, with the household duties.
Stumbled on Steps.
He started down the steps with bas-
ket of trash in his good hand and two
ginger ale bottles in the weakened
fingers of the other. He stumbled on
the steps and plunged face forward,
cutting his throat in some manner on
the broken ginger ale bottles.
1t is believed Lieut.. Hanback,, when
he stumbled, grasped at the railing
with his right hand and let the bottles
fall on the concrete floor below. IN
able to check his impetus, however, he
plunged forward onto the jagged glass
still clinging to the basket in his left
hand.
No one heard him fall, and when he
failed to return after reasonable
length of time, Mrs. Hanback, investi-
gated and found him dying from loss
OF blood at the foot of the steps.
Mrs. Hanback, ran to the home Of a
neighbor and summoned assistance, but
her husband was dead when DR.. John
F.. Brennan of 1901 Monroe street
northeast arrived. DR.. Joseph D. Rogers,
acting coroner, issued a certificate of
accidental death.
Given Lieutenancy in 1924.
Lieut.. Hanback, served in the Fire
Department for more than % years and
was appointed to his lieutenancy in
1924. He served with No. and No
Truck Companies and was retired from
No. IS Engine Company for physical
disability, due to accident in line of
duty.
In addition to his wife, Lieut.. Han
