Whistle
, STAND BY EMPLOYERS
ThlUdelphla Is unaffected by the
1 scheduled walkout of steel workers In
all tectjons ol the country today.
K. J. Daris, an official o the Ten
coyd Iron Works, chief subsidiary of
the United States Steel Corporation In
, this city, said that none of the n
'ployes of that riant stayed out hen
' the whistle blew this morning.
, Conditions at the Midvale Steel And
Ordnance Company plant were declared
to be normal. The strike, it was said
at the plant, had absolutely no effect
r on the working force of the big con
cern. Alva. C. Dinkey, president of the
Midrale Company, gave out a state
ment, In which be said that no trouble
was anticipated at the works because
the number of employes affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor was
almost negligible.
Charles Ricder, Jr., general manager
ipl the bridge works at Penroyd, was so
confident that the walkout would not
isffect these concerns that at S o'clock
he had not oven bothered to get out of
,bed and get in touch with the situation.
"Ask Mr. Davis he might know
something about it by now," he said,
"when aroused.
i Despite the optimism that featured
-the expressions of the officials of the
two concerns, Director of Public Safety
'Wilson took no chances and the vicinity
of the steel plants was guarded by an
extra corps of patrolmen today.
Other patrolmen were snid to bate
been transferred from Mirious sections
of the city to the station houses near
the steel works, where they are being
held in reserve should any outbreak
occur.
The vicimt of the plants presents
a normal appearance and the noise and
smoke coming from the iron works bears
testimony to the activity within.
Joseph M. Richie, district organizer
for the American Federation of Labor,
refused to give nny information as to'
the proportion of steel men in Phila
delphia who are organized.
"The manufacturers have said that
there isn't more than a 10 per cent or
ganization anywhere in the country,"
he said. "We'll let It go at that."
The plant of the Midvnle compfmy at
Coatesville is working on its regular
schedule, it was announced. The
"plant committee" of this factory,
made up of ten employes, held a meet
ing yesterday and adopted a series of
resolutions announcing their intention
of remaining loyal and urging the other
workers to do the same.
The resolutions adopted by the work
ers' committee, in addition to citing the
fact that the workers have evidence that
one of the men working In favor of the
walkout has also been a spreader of
Bolshevik propaganda, call attention to
the amicable relations between the men
and the, company, and to the fact that
all differences have hitherto been settled
at informal discussions between work
ers and officials.

comment upon them.
Comerford said that 200 engineers in

Cleveland Convention Commits
Union to "Legale
Measures" A
FOR NATIONAL LABOR PARTY
By the Associated Tre
Cleveland, Sept. 22. There will be
no sympathetic strikes by the United
Mine Workers of America In behalf of
the steel strikers, by which men work
ing under agreement might be called
out.
This was made clear today when the
committee to which was referred the
resolution pledging the miners to re
fuse to furnish coal for any purpose
which might endanger the success of
the steel strike reported Instead a sub
stitute commiting the organisation to
use such measures as can legally be em
plojed'to give practical aid to the strik
ing steel workers.
The resolution points out that as
the miners are about to draft nn eco
nomic program in their own behalf,
which may tax their resources to the
limit, it would be unwise to commit
themselves to any more definite plan
of action for the steel workers. The
resolution was adopted almost without
dissent.
The convention further adopted reso
lutions demanding the immediate recall
of Americnn troops from Bussin (which,
was, greeted with very hearty applause),
self-determination and the right of self
government, for the people of Ireland
and all other small nationalities capable
of self-government nnd for the defeat
of the Cummins railway bill.
