Tho general strike older becomes ef

the results that will accruo from it nro
widely at variance Olllcials of tho
eteol companies ndmit that thousands
of men will obey tho order of Presi
dent Shaffer and go out but they posi
tively deny that tho tie up will bo gen
eral They point to tholr success In
reopening four mills that were closed

nt points whore the Amalgamated as
sociation claims the greatest strength
The steel officials are Inclined to min
imize tho sympathetic assistance

President Shaffer nnd his associates
on the other hand insist that tho strike
order will be generally obeyed and
that they will obtain more than suffi
cient support to cripple the steel cor
poration
We have those people licked to a
standstill already was tho ready
way In which Vice President elect
Gibson of Pittsburg voiced the feelings
of the Amalgamated people
With both sides arming for the con

that he was here to ask for another
conference in behalf of the steel cor
poration Mr Preston pointedly de
nied that he vas doing anything of
the kind and during the day made no
effort to see any of the strike leaders
Some of the men who predict a set
tlement believe there will be outside
Intervention from powerful interests
and a submission of tho dispute to ar
bitration Different men of national
reputation including Archbishop Ire
land and Senators Ilanna and Scott
have been named in this connection
but if efforts are being put forth In
that direction they have not yet ap
peared upon the surface
The steel corporation succeeded
yesterday in getting the Farm mill atj
the Lindsay McCutchcon plant and
nnother mill at the Clark works In
operation They also received reports
that at Hyde Park last night four of
the mills did perfect work and another
communication from Wellsville that
tho strike was virtually over there
iThoy met -with no opposition at any
of the four plants where they have
opened mills and express their satis
faction at the progress made Tho
strikers insist that there nro not
enough men at tho Lindsay Mc
Cutchcon establishment to operate one
mill started and predicted that It
would close down during the day It
was kept going however until night
It is planned to open nnother mill at
Lindsay McCutcheons and also to
Btart the Painter mill and the Char
tiers plant at Carnegie but just when
they will be started remains to be
