si r koi i.
The outcome at Homestead, so far
as it developed during the day, was
a black <;. for th m rik? committee.
! As elsewhere the American element
; stood almost 100 per cent for the
actual job as it is, and with them
i stood a surprisingly large number of
| foreigners, but the total of the strikers
| was about 2,000 out of 8,000. The
i situation at the Edgar Thompson plant
I was also a baffler for the strikers.
Striker? Ahead at Clairton
At Clairton, however, the strikers,
though this was disputed by the rep?
resentatives of the Carnegie Company,
won smaahingly so far as first day re?
sults go. It appeared to be beyond
question that they had two-thirds of
the men out. In other plants up and
'. down the nearby part of tho valley
; it was give and take, with anywhere
j from U> to 50 per cent of the em
I ployes failing to report, tho blast fur?
naces suffering most because of the
large numbers of common laborers re?
quired in their operation.
It would be misleading, however,
not to make it clear that the steel
companies fully appreciate and freely
admit that they have a rial battle on
'their hands. They say that they will
i win it if the authorities arc able to
maintain the public peace, and Presi
j dent Wilson doe*, not lend his prestige
: io the strikers. Moreover, they say
? that so far as the Monongahela Val
\ ley is concerned, with an even break
; on the luck and fickle psychology of
: tho si;nation, the end o fthis week
will probably show that they have the
upper hand and one that will lu pro?
gressively stronger.
Strong Arm Is Respected
Many of the foreigner., respect noth?
ing so much as the strong hand in
government, If they perceive, it is ex?
plained, that, come what may, the au?
thorities are able not only to deal
effectually with mobs but to protect
the individual worker, they will reveal
themselves as. absentees instead of
strikers. Nobody can tell what pro?
portion ?.if the men failing to report
to-day are voluntary strikers or fear?
ful absentees. Tins proportion will,
it is said by the employers, rapidly de?
cline if order is maintained.
So far tin- authorities have been
forehanded with the situation, but it
is believed that the real toast of their
precautions and their vigor will not.
come i;".:i! tho strike has been running
fea a week or more, while it is as
scrted in some quart-air that the per?
emptory way in which th? mounted
state police dealt with the meeting at
Clairton and McKeesporl yesterday
has had an unfavorable reaction for
the employers to-day. H is contended,
on the other hand, that the ultimate
? ??Tret will be excellent, as those inci
dents have boon in tho way of service
if notice or. the disorderly inclined
that ti ? forces of the law will toi
eral ? - fool ishness.
Little Disorders So Far
1: is conceded that there has been
ittle disorder and little resort to
? ag arm tactics the first day of the
strike, considering the magnitude of
? Mai disturbance. The strikers,
however, went in*o the strike poorly
supplied with aggressive local leaders
an?', pickets. They were overawed by
the police. But by to-morrow they
plan to have pickets in place, to have
their local representatives inore ener?
getic and 7'' bring in organizers from
outside, All this may have the effect
! of putting more aggressiveness into

'?\V?> are informed that the othei
?large trades entering into this strike
? if a strike i-, called, will not be able
to pay strike benefits. For that rea
son our organization preferred to as
I sume the position of opposing a strike
at this time and wanting until all
trades were better organized in all
' parts of the industry, ami then seek tc
obtain recognition, by peaceful means
if possible, or by a strike if necessary;
but those in charge of trie work seem
I to feel that a strike is necessary at
this time to secure r?cognition, and
?while as an organization we have op?
posed this policy, our members will re?
ceive our in..ral support in joining ir
the struggle with other trades, and
; such financial support to relieve thi
| needy cases us we are able to give,"
Tho circular points out that to paj
?regular strike benefits to its members
I involved in the steel strike would cos?
? more than $200,000 a month, which i<
; described as a financial impossibility.

of the committee of twenty-four, to?

You see it takes a considerable time
to exhRust the momentum of a heavy
body ami you can't expect, these big
plants to be shut up in an hour or
even in a day. Another surprise was
when the machinists and riggers
walked out at Homestead.
"At the end of tho first day of strike
1 am glad to bo able to state that,
viewed nationally, there is no longer a
semblance of a fight exce.pt in the
'Pittsburgh district, and only at one
( or two places in this district have we
failed to score, a big success. Even
, where filants have not closed most of

Jones & Laughlin plant in Pittsburgh,
which pulled through to-day, will be

? Guards Shoot 7
In New Castle Riot
Mob of Strikers Tries to
Keep Loyal Men (hit
With Shower of Bricks
NEWCASTLE, Pean., Sept, 21,
:?'?.'. n persons wer?' shot, one probably
fatally, in rioting which broke out at
the Carnegie Steel Company's plant
hero late to-day.
The trouble started when a crowd
of about 400 persea.-', attempted to
prevent mill workers from entering
the plant. Abotil twenty work nen
were being assaulted, when the mill
guards, consisting of a number of
deputy sheriffs, came to their rescue.
The mill guards were met with a
volley o! bricks, stones ami club-?.
They drew t he- i r revolvers and at
' tempt"?! to hold the mob at bay. but
the showers of missiles continued and
? ;'? crowd refused (o disperse.
When the situation appeared to be
getting beyond control the guards are
alleged to have opened tire en the
crowd with their guns. Two women
wore shot. A man shot through the
stomach is reported to be in ?-. local
hospilai in .. ( a' ical condil ion. A boy
was also wounded. Three other per?
sons were- struck by bullets, ha' not
-a i iously hurt.
I .'lowing the shooting the mill
guards had little difficulty in clearing
the sir ?? ' ?? about the plant.
Another outbreak occurred to-day at
: the plant of the Shenango Tin Piafe
Company, in which two local police
men were wounded while Rttempting
lo protect mil! workers. One officer
, war stabbed and another was shot.
Their wounds were not serious.
Ch icago Pia n Is

Much Now Depends on
Engineers, Who Quit
Despite I inion"s Orders
CHICAGO, Sept. 22. The big steel
strike went into effect, in the Chicago
district to-day without disorder. Some
of the largest plants were forced to
close, but o?hers operated on a reduced
scale throughout the day, and early to?
night, there was no material chango in
the situation. The minor concern-?
were affected in about the same pro?
portion as the big establishments.
i Whether the strike would increase
in effectiveness was admittedly de
pendent largely upon tiie course of
I the engineers in the plants. Although
their international union had forbi Iden
a strike, most oS the Gary members ol
the order went out with the steel
workers. To-night they were consider?
ing an or,1er to return to work.
Company officials generally were ret?
icent and, excent in the cases of com?
plete s tin: downs, would not give fig?
ures on the number of men at work.
They estimated variously that from
'.?i to i'O pel- cent of their employes
had remained lova !.
Unions Cive Ouf* Figures
At sti ike 1 eadquarters it was claimed
that 67,500 man had obeyed the strike
call, the lotal being distributed as fol?
lows: Gary, Ind., 22,000; Indiana Har?
bor, Ind., 11,000; South Chicago, 20,000;
Jbliet, Chicago Heights, 111., 2,000;
Hammond, hid., 3,000; Evanston, 111.,
1,500; Waukegan, 111., 2,500; Milwaukee,
Wis., 3,000; Sterling, 111., 1.000; De?
kali), 111., 1,500.
At Gary the men who had formed the
day shift remained in the inclosure
for the night, and it. was intimated
that, they would not be asked to go
home while the strike was in progress.
In South Chicago lato in the day
it was learned that tho Wisconsin
Steel Mills of the International Har?
vester Company were closing clown, hi
a statement the company ?aid the ac?
tion was taken "anon recommendation
of the elected representatives of the
employes, although nine-tenths of tho
working force was on duty at the usual
hoara''
The works council of the planl the
statement said, adopted a resolution
recommending closing because "some
of tho plants in th;' district were
practically closed down and because
??f the nation-wide eaten?, of the strike
an?! th?- consequent possibility of vio?
lence nnd interference with any plana
to continue opera?'";."
Tin' plant normally employs about
2.000 men, it was stated.
A. Waukegan the night shift was
ra ? called to the plant of th" Ameri?
can Steel and Wire Company. The
concern's officials sard that 30 per- cent
of the 1,800 employes were at work to?
day. Tho union offset this with a re?
port of what they said was an actual
count of all employes, clerical and
official and i. i aas who entered f he
gates. This total was announced as
132. The union Laders said they had
arranged for daily meetings, at which
vaudeville and other entertainment
features would keep the srrikors away
from possible trouble.

With the possible exception of a

mills a*. Gary and Joliet, nil members
of the International Union of Steam
and Operative Engineers reported for
work at the steel plants, according t??
information reaching 11. M. Comerford,
general treasurer and secretary of the
union.
The strike of the steel workers was
not approved by the engineers. Com?
erford said 200 engineers in the Gary
plan'-, despite instructions not to
strike, were undecided in regard t.. the.
walk out. if they finally decide to
strike, ihpy would have t.. accept the
responsibility. Secretary Comerford

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio. Sept. 22. The
first day <>f the steel striae here passed
without bloodshed, rioting or even
tight ng.
Seventy-five per cea.' of the men
failed to go into the mills when the
whiBtles blew this morning and by 3
o'clock the lost of the 8,000 men who
had gone in had changed their minds
and left, nn.l by nightfall every mill
in the district was shut down and de?
serted save for the bristling array of
company guards, who surrounded the
plants, and the strike pickets, who
were plentiful in number??.
A drizzling rain '"eil fitfully all day
long, bur, despite the had weather hun?
dreds of tiie strikers gathered in lithe
knots about the entrances to the mill
They remonstrated with the men who
went in to Work, but, made no effort
to prevent their entrance. This seemed
tu have a decided effect upon tit?; men
wiio had ?l?"'iil"?l to work, for they
started to drift out, again in little
groups shortly after 8 o,'clock. The
stream continued all ?lay until every
worker was out.
Most of the mills wer? shut down
early this morning. Others tried to
operate with the few men who ap?
peared for work, but shortly after noon
(lie traffic managers of the various
plants notified Erie Railroad officials
that they would rot attempt to op
orate any of the mills afor I o'clock.
To-night, for the first time in years,
the dull red glow that has colored the
sky over the city is missing and the
trails are in silent darkness, looming
like huge spectres in the gloom.
The following figures were given out
at union headquarters: Number of men
out in city mills alone, 2(5,000, divided
among the mills as follows: McDonald,
1,200; Sharon Steel Hoon. 800; Repub?
lic Iron and Steel, 4,000; Brier H ill
Steel. 3,500; Ohio works of the Car?
negie Steel. 5,500; Youngstown Sheet
and Tube Company, 11,500.
Company officials admitted to-night
that they had not believed as many
men would fail to go into file mills
as did this moaning. Heads of the
various mills spent the greater part of
the afternoon and night in secret
counsel.
W. A. Tliomn?. president of the Brier
Hill Steel Company, is the only com?
pany litad who still insists that he in?
tends to operate his mill regardless of
the consequences. He declares that
Brier Hill will make another attempt
to operate to-morrow morning.
Several riot calls were received by
the police, hut ail of them proved to
be false alarms. As night fell the
guards were doubled around the mills.

Lake Seamen Vote to
Tie Up Ore Steamships
CHICAGO, Sept. 22.?Union s-n
men employed on the ore-carrying
Ink" boats of the United Stat*>s St?s?l
Corporation to-day completed their
balloting, and bave voted almost
unanimously to strike in sympathy
with the steel workers, according to I
a statement to-night by i atrick j
O'Brien, secretary of the seamen's j
Chicago loca!.
workers and officials have Bettled down
to propaganda work. With the first
shock of the strike, it was found that \
only "n?i plant of the many in this
district had b^en handicapped and
that the responso to the strike call 't
had been disappointing to union lead- ,
ers.
The situation r.t the wire mill of
the' American Steel and Wire Com?
pany at Fairfield was somewhat ob
scure ?ate to-day. Company < fficials
declare the mill is in full operation. \
This was contradicted by union men who
nay 75 to 90 per cent of the men have I
quit and that only the rod mill is in :
operation..
At the Ensley Mills only 15 per cent
of the men are reported out. At
Westfield .":'. per rent ave said to be
out. Conditions at the by-products
plant at Fairfield are normal.
"This is tri" beginning of a prigantic
struggle," sai?i one of the union lead?
ers. "It requires tinte to train, momen?
tum, but it will be mighty har?i to
stop."
Union heads are fren ?n their pre?
dict .on that the striking fore.'s wi
augmented considerably before the e- .1 \
of the week, and that every holdei of
a union card will have quit before
Saturday. Company officials maitain
that few of 11?o men belong to the
union.
At. Anniston, Alabama City and
Sheffield, conditions are normal, the
men refusing to strike.
