McKeesport, Pa., July 85.-T1,h talk rPaohed here of a hor ,. ible lnurder alld
suicide which occurred three miles west
of hero last night. Wilson Henley, a
of the steel company starting operations
here by the utilization of non-nnion
men resulted today in Mayor Black de
fining what his attitude will be in oase
that is done.•
Mayor Black says:
"The polioo of McKeesport are em
ployed by the citizens to proteot their
property, and will not be used to proteot
the private property of corporations, as
has boen done at Olnrk's mill in Pitts
burg. Our people are law-abiding. The
bringing of outsiders here to start the
mills is certain to provoke trouble. I
have no sympathy in the trouble. I am
not siding with the strikers or the steel
companies. In my opinion the Importa
tion of outsiders will cause trouble. I
shall notify the companies not to do so.
If they persist I shall arrest the men ^nd
order tliem-cut of the city. I want to
warn all irpn makers to stay away from
McKeesport and not come here to create
trouble. I am mayor of this town and
am going to preserve order."
