20 STEEL STRIKE UTTERLY FAILS Pittsburgh District Mills Oper ating 84 Per Cent, Despite Coal Walkout Pittsburgh, Nov. 25. Complete! failure of the steel strike, which ; started 10 weeks ago, and a loss of almost 130,000,000 in pay to the strikers, is shown by figures given out by operators of mills in the Pitts- ■ burgh district, the center of the steel industry in the United States. Plants 1 here are now turning out 84 per cent ol" their normal production be fore the strike despite the fact that , many of the mills have been unable i ' to resume operation because of the walkout of coal miners. Iteports of mills that have reopen- j ed, with close to their full force of employes at work, come in daily. ; l,ess than 10 per cent of 162,474 men. j who either answered the strike call or were forced out of Work by the I shutdown of the plants affected by I the walkout, are still idle. Many j workers, formerly employed in other i industries, have come to this dis- > trict and are filling the places of 1 those who have not as yet returned I to their furnaces There is still a ; shortage of 30,000 common laborers j in the plants, but as this is a con- i dition that existed prior to the j strike it will not prevent the mills J from reaching their capacity out put of pre-strike times. 10,000 Cambria Men Back Evidence that even in the most rabid strike districts the men are rapidly returning to work was given to-day, when the Cambria Steel Company of Johnstown, started oper ation of another furnace in its Franklin plant, making a total of , live now in full blast. When the gates to the Cambria plants swung open this morning 1,000 more men were put to work than left the mills Saturday afternoon. This brings the number of strikers who have re- | turned to work in the plants of this company up to 10,000. The Cam bria mines last week, operators esti mate, produced about 00 per cent of their weekly output before the walk out. Increased operation of plants is j promised for this week. The Cam bria company's blooming mill, which rolls out great ribbons of steel, will resume to-day, while the Gautier mills will be running to-morrow. Wheeling, W. Ya., is the only large center that is still completely tied* up. This is not due to unwilling ness on the part of the strikers to ! go back to work, for they have voted in favor of ending the walk out, but the large steel companies .own and operate their own cool mines and, as a result, cannot reopen their mills until the coal controversy is settled. Many foreigners Depart Thousands of foreign workmen who left their posts in the mills September 22 have returned to their I native countries, it is said. To off set this total loss of available labor operators have imported many Mexicans and negroes to do the heavy unskilled work which had been performed by these men. In the 10 weeks of the strike seven lives were lost in rioting and other disturbances: several hundred men were injured; property damage ' amounted to {153,150 and the steel j companies' loss, which is bused on j tonnage figures given by the strike j committee, the only estimate obtain- • able, rtvtched {250,000.000. Easterday Widely Sought in Million Dollar N. Y. Theft Now York. Nov. 25.—The police | authorities throughout the country 1 and even abroad have been askedl to search for W. W. Easterday, who j John T. Pooling. assistant district j attorney, says is head of the gang ! of bond thieves responsible for the j theft of securities worth more than j {1,000,000 in the Wall street district j in the last few months. Further | evidence that Easterday is the mas- j ter mind behind the wholesale lar- j eenies was revealed yesterday j through an examination of the j books of the firm of Sullivan & Co., j at 10 Wall street. "We are becoming more and more I convinced that Sullivan, Bowles and | the others were merely cogs in the machine, and that they moved as I Easterday directed," 51 r. Doullng i said. 8,000 CAPTURED AT OMSK Washington, Nov. 25.
