flm CSW
TO BREAK II STRIKE
Steel Corporation Bring3 Number of Non
union lien from South-
USE THEM AT MONESSEN PLANT
Expecfs to Add It to tlio 11st of mills
Already In Operation Union Members
Say It Is Impossible Aumlgamnted
Leaders Claim Hidden Strength
i PITTSBURG Pa Aug 13 A party
of strikebreakers brought up from the
south by special train were safely de
livered In the steel steel mills at
Monessen early yesterday morning and
the United States Steel corporation ex
pects to add that plant to the number
running partly or in full with non
union men within the next twenty
four hours The Carnegie properties
also resumed last night without a
break in the forces operating them
and that fact joined with the prom
ise of an early start at Monessen leads
the steel officials here to tike a very
hopeful view of the situation The
strikers claim that men enough to start
the Monessen mills cannot be obtained
and that they have not yet shown
their hand At Duquesne and other
Carnegie plants they promise that de
velopments will indicate their strength
to better advantage
It was anticipated that there would
be trouble when the non union men
reached Monessen for the strikers
were watching the railroads and riv
ers and had expressed a determina
tion to prevent the entrance of the
strikebreakers The men who were
handling the movement for the steel
corporation successfully veiled their
action however and had their charges
safely within the plants hours before
it was known definitely by anyone
on the outside that the men had ar
rived They were brought to Mones
sen by special train and were landed
at 4 oclock in the morning It is
not known how many men were in the
party or where they were obtained
The mills are guarded and the men
will be kept on the premises until all
danger of trouble ceases Bunks for
about fifty men have been erected and
large quantities of food have been pur
chased for them A fence has been
thrown around the property and
guards posted to keep out all intruders
The strikers will undoubtedly make an
effort to induce the strikebreakers to
quit and the fear is expressed that
there will be trouble if any demonstra
tion is made against the men or prop
erty The situation there is regarded
as very delicate
The steel managers may succeed in
getting another mill on tomorrow at
the Painter plant Two mills were
operated there last week with non
union men and part of another crew
was gotten together las week Just
as soon as enough men are available
the third mill will be started

WASHINGTON D C Aug 19 A

at once to go to sea When she ad
vises the department that she is ready

she has had several days notice in

slow however making not more than
six knots and as the distance to Pan
ama is about 2700 miles it would re
quire almost fifteen days for her to
reach her destination The depart
ment therefore decided to dispatch the

at San Francisco and can prepare for
the trip
