Away In Good Shape "We got away in good shape at most of our plants in and about Pittsburgh this morning," says a representative of the Carnegie Steel Company when asked for a statement on the effect of the steel workers strike which went into effect to day. Agreeably Surprised "We are agreeably surprised at the showing made, was the an nouncement by William Z. Foster, secretary of the national committee for organizing iron and steel workers, who is In charge of the Pittsburgh district. The Carnegie Steel Company did not issue a formal statement but gave out for publication information which, it was announced, came to the offices here from superintend ents of various plants. Homestead Working At Homestead, where the. com pany's largest works are located, the Carnegie representatives said, whole departments are in operation, with a few men nbsent.

Representatives of the Jones and Strike Exerts Little Adverse Influence on N. Y. Stock Market By Associate! Press. New York, Sept. 22. The steel strike exerted little adverse influence over the stock market at the open ing of to-day's trading. Steel shares were least disturbed of any import ant issues, opening mostly at gains which extended from 1-2 a point in/ U. S. Steel to 1 point in Bethlehem and 3 for Crucible. Reactions in the first half hour canceled most of these gains, however. Stocks dependent upon the stabil ity of the steel industry, such as Equipments, were steady to firm, al though the motor group was inclined to yield. Trading was comparatively small with no indications of urgent liquid ation. Commission houses reported very small offerings for out of town accounts. Laughlin Steel Company reported that all the plants of the company are working 100 per cent. From labor, corporation and po lice sources came the information that there was no trouble reported anywhere in the Pittsburgh district during the early hours of the strike. Lines Sharply Drawn Information from .the employers' side was to the effect that the strike line is sharply drawn between Americans and foreigners. The Americans, it was said, as a rule went to work, while the foreigners were in the majority among the strikers. Blast furnaces, according to com pany sources, where the largest per centage of foreigners are employ ed, were the hardest hit. The fur naces it was said were expected to be the weakest spots from the cor poration point of views. Mnny Foreigners Out Reports from the West Penn and Allegheny Steel Companies were to the effect that 35 per cent, of their men, virtually all foreigners, failed to report for work. Secretary Foster, at union head quarters, later said that reports from outside of the Pittsburgh dis trict show the shut -town general. National Committee Meeting At the same time Mr. Foster an nounced that a meeting of the na tional committee would be held in Pittsburgh Wednesday morning. Two unidentified men stood on a hill in North Clairton to-day and fired eight shots toward the North Clairton steel plant. No one was struck. Si'ate police gave ohasq| and the men disappeared in a near by woods. Reports from McKees Rocks stat ed that few men failed to report for work In the mills at that place where about 7,000 men are usually employed. No attempt was made to persuade the men on their way to the mills to remain away. Among the works at McKees Rocks are the Schoen Steel Wheel Company, a branch of the United States Steel Corporation, the Pressed Steel Car Company, and a plant of the Cruci ble Steel Company. Secretary Foster of the steel workers national union, said that despite the actions of the State po lice at North Clairton and McKees port yesterday another attempt would be made to-day to hold meet ings. He said the workers would not abandon their- fight for "free assemblage and free speech." Protest State Police Although figures were lacking, M. F. Tighe, International president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel and Tin Workers, said that he had received most fa vorable reports from Rankin, Brad dock, Homestead and other places in this district. He said all plants in the lower Ohio Valley below Steubenville had been closed. "Practically the entire force at the American Steel and Wire Plant at Rankin has walked out, accord ing to my reports," Mr. Tighe said. "We expect the strike will grow during the next few days." Mr. Tighe protested against the use of State police. "We cannot re strain our people and keep them in check if the attacks of the State troopers continue," he said. "Their presence here is breeding unrest." Few Hundred at Coatesville Are Out By Associatet! Press. Philadelphia, Sept. 22.
