settling down i

While thofcomp ny at the Welisville
null received the accession of If for:
11an from‘the ranks of the strikers yes-
terday. the number is not lures enough
to justify the mill in starting up in
full. The Amsif'mmnted men are keen-
ing a censts‘nt watch upon the mill and
at the railroad stutions for any. new
men the company may bring in. .

At the DowsbsWood mill in MoeE
Keesport, everything is as before. It
is said the mauskement have no lnten»
tion of resuming the operation of the
plant at present Nevertheless the
strikers patrol the streets and the rlv~
or front, and strangers are asked to
show who they are. and how it hop-
pens they are In McKeespm-t.

At Vendersrift and Duncsnsviliethe
men appear to be entirely satisfied and
work is going on there as usual. All
the efforts of the Amalgamated associ-
ation to get the men out have so far
been futile.

Reports are, received that the Univ
ed States Steel Corporation will short
ly make an effort to start up Painter's
mill of the American Steel Hoop Gem
pony in this city.

The effect of the report caused the
men to throw out n picket guard this
morning for the purpose of reporting
any action on the part of the manage
ment

At the Clerk mill in this city Mun
user Brown denied the report that
there was any intention of resuming
operations at present and saidthut no
men shalibe hired until the strike is
settled. The strikers are keeping
away from the plunt.

At the Lindsay find McCutcheou mill
lAllozheny, the plant is closed down
save for the few laborers who are
cleaning up. Many of the strikers have
gone to work in other districts.

One of the most signihcunt develop
ments of the strike is the order from
the officials of the National Steel Com
puny. to have the ormer roll will of
that company in Y ngstown. fitted for
rsilrolilug again. The mill was orig

Ineliy n roll mill but early in the pres .

out your its product was turned into
shoot bars and billets.

This fact is taken as an indication
that the officials of the United States
Corporation ore anticipnting no curly
settlement of the present strike.

[it the Amalgamated headquarters
the ofilcisls had nothing new to report
this morning. President Shaffer said
the situation was unchanged and that
he was well satisfied with the outlook.
