STRIKERS ARE VIGILANT
Humors Have lleen Klfe That Some
J1IIU Would Attempt to Resume,
but No Decided Step Has Yet Been
Taken In That Direction.
Pittsburg,July 23. —The strike situa
tion presents practically no new phases
this morning and it appears now as if
the contending forces are settling down
to a protracted straggle. While the com
pany at the Wellsville mill received the
accession of a fow men from the ranks
of the strikers yesterday the number is
not yet large enough to justify the mill
in starting up in fulL In the mean
time the Amalgamated men are keeping
a watch upon the mill and ail tho ave
nues that lead to it. Piokets have been
been thrown out along the streets and
tbe railroad stations, so that nothing
will escape the vigilance of the strikers
tf the company should bring any new
men in.
At Dewees Wood mills, McKeesport,
everything is quiet. It is said officially
chat the management have no intention
of resuming the operation of the plant
at present. Nevertheless, the strikers
are wary and evidently do net believe
this, because they coutinuo to patrol the
streets for the purpose of keeping their
eyes on any one going toward the mill.
Piokets are lined along the river front
aud at tho stations and strangers are
kindly but firmly asked to show who
they are and how it happons they are in
McKeesport. ,
Men Quiet, but Determined.
A satisfactory feature in connection
witli this is tho oontinaed order and
good behavior of tho men. Of course
what might happen In case some strange
workers wero to appear on tho scene
cannot bo conjectured. Little doubt re
mains that theso mill owffiers intend to
