PITTSBURGHSTRIKE
40,000 Steel Men Ordered
Out by A. F. of L.
IN FIGHT AGAINST TRUST.
Labor Leaders Say They Will Tie Up
Every Mill In Country Refusal to
Treat With Braddock and Ran
kin Strikers Causes Trouble.
Pittsburgh, Feb. 3. After n gonernl
advance in wages had been announced,
40,000 employees of the various plants
of the United States Stool corporation
hnve been directed to quit work in a
general strike ordered by the American
federation of Labor. The strike order
was signed by Frank Morrison, secre
tary of the federation, Immediately
ufter the officers of the steel corpora
tion refused to meet striking employees
of the American Steel and Wire com
pany at Braddock and Rankin.
At Braddock nnd at Uankln, where
there was a fatal riot a few days ago,
2,000 men have been out for some time.
The strikers began a house to house
canvass of all the workers In the steel
mills, to make sure that every man will
walk out. The men marched to Home
stead, Bessemer nnd all the other
towns whore the steel corporation 1ms
mills.
The labor lenders say that they will
carry their fight to every steel plant In
the country. The American Federation
of Lnbor will start this week a nation
wide campaign for funds to continue
the strike.
"This Is the opening of a great light
against the steel corporation," Mr. Mor
rison declared. "Wo nnnounced the
fight last October, when Samuel Gom
pers issued his statement. Before we
are through we will have every steel
corporation plant in the United States
idle or compel the betterment of condi
tions and wages."
The strike order was issued after the
men had asked to treat with the ofll
ecrs of the American Steel nnd Wire
company. Their request was refused
by Mr. Palmer, tlie president; Mr. .low
ett, the general manager, and Mr.
AVhite, the superintendent. After the
strike order had been Issued Mr. Jewett
said :
"The mills will be opened, nnd any
man who wishes to go to work may
come In as an individual. If the men
want to work for us they can have
their Jobs. If they prefer to follow the
labor agitators let them do that. We
Will operate the mills no matter what
course the strikers take.".
ELUSIVE THIEF AN ACROBAT
pany collieries in thtf TacKawanna re
gion declared a strike becauso hoisting
sngineers nt each of the plants refused
to affiliate with tho United Mine Work
ers of America.
When it was announced that none of
the Delaware, Lacknwnnna and West
ern engineers had obeyed the edict a
strike was called, and every miner con
nected with the union walked out at
eight collieries.
While the strike has not the sanction
of the district officials of the union, the
situation is n dellcnte one. Inasmuch as
the men have taken affairs into their
own hands.
