Strikes inaugurated at Wllmerdlng and
flwJssvnlo to-day had a direct bearing
ton the Issuing of the order to close down.
Of tho fv'iOO perrons employed In the
airbrake, plant nearly 4,000 refused to

.Union Hwltrli and Signal works more
than half of the 3,000 employees also

plants In East Tlttsburit have
leen out for several days.
Officials of the Union Switch and Slg
(i&l Company nnd the WestlnKhouso Air

police:
"The disturbed conditions now exist
ing In this vicinity have created a situa
tion that renders It apparently Impos
sible for the company to i-ecure adequate
protection for you In tho peaceful pur
suit of your employment.
"An we do not wish to subject our
employees, who have so long and faith
fully served us, to possible danger and
bodily Injury that may result If the
plants are continued In operation, the
management has decided to close the
works for tho present until further
notice."
There was a ray of hope to-day that
the miners' committee would reach an
agreement with oftlclals of the Pitts
burg Coal Company. Failure to do so
will mean almost a complete shutdown
of Industries In this district within the

of fuel.

ASPIMNG ART HESIEGES
Louis A. Hoffman, who has put rtfld
$t!,000 to pay the expenses of a New
urle.ins girl nnd a New York girl through
college, was not happy yesterday. There
was upon his ordinarily placid face the
look of n hunted and harassed man,
i:ver since Tm: Hun printed the story
of hi generous Idea of educating two
poor and worthy girls, an Idea born of
his great business prosperity and of his
desire to know whether the higher edu
cation Is actually beneficial to women,
Mr. Hoffman has been deluged, over
whelmed, swamped and submerged with
requests for financial assistance.
It was last Sunduy that tho story of
Mr. Hoffman's prospective philanthropy
was published, but In tne three days that
have elapsed he has received scarcely
less than 1,000 begging letters, and has ,
been compelled to remove from his hotel
to avoid telephone and pcrroual calls.
He has naturally avoided his office as I
much as possible. I
"inasmuch as Tub Sun, by lis pub-1
licit. Is partly responsible for this .
deluge," said Mr. Hoffman, "won't you
please, as a matter of human kindness,
write yet another nrtlcle In order to
emphasize the following: I
"Tho election of the recipient of the
scholarship Is left to the school authori
ties, and not to ine.
"I am not a bank, nor do I lend
money to strangers.
"I am not a millionaire.
"I am not Interested In the establish
ment of, nor shall I finance, massage
parlors, manlcute shop., employment
bureaus, boarding houses, courses In
dramatic art by 'young girl. from tho
country with beautiful voices and ex
ceptional figures,' Ac.
"I am not looking for lady friends.'
I am sorry girls have to work In shops
nnd factories nnd offices for 18 a week,
but what can I do about It?
"This Is really a serious matter,"
added Mr. Hoffman lit the otllce of his
newspaper supplies business at 212
llroadway. "Among the more than 1,00't
letters I have received are many appeals
that should bo given attention, but If I
donated all the suma for which I have
been asked I myself would soon be a
charge on the community."
