TO BREAKIE STRIKE Steel Corporation Bring3 Number of Non union Nen from South. t'SE THEM AT MONESSEN PLANT Expects to Arid It to tbe I.lst of Mills Already In Operation—Union Members Bay It Is Impossible—Amalgamated Leaders Claim Hidden Strength. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 19.—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 take 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 strikei'j 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 o’clock in the morning. It is not known how many men were in the party or whore 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 last week. Just as soon as enough men are available the third mill will be started.
