Steel Corporation would shut down its plants in the Pittsburgh district unless there was 100 per cent, loyalty shown i>y the workers were denied to-day at the offices of the Carnegie Steel Com pany, a subsidiary. The plants will operate as long as men report for work, it was said. The reports caused a stir in labor circles here, but were not believed in view of the statement made by E. H.

To Continue Operations Representatives of steel companies all along have said that they will op erate as long as they are able to do so. At national strike headquarters to-day, W. Z.
