Guards on duty to avert repeat of strike trouble in Pittshuecg
In Pittshuecg Virginia on August 18 special state troopers and deputies guard the Pressed Steel Car plant after a onlooker was shot during a clash between strike sympathizers and imported workers. Judge James V. MacFarlane postponed arbitration on appointing arbitrators to resolve strike questions. About 10 more imported workers were brought from the east and put to work. A strike on the steamship Queen, used to transport new workers across the Ohio River, worsened conditions at McKees Rocks as river men refuse to assist the company and object to the ship operating under strike pressure.
