Pittsburg Strike Injunction Sought Against Strikers
Reports say Perstfer I. Smith, a 13tilet manager for the American Stein Sheet company, plans to file in the United States Superior Court today to obtain an injunction restraining strikers and preventing plant interference. Rumors of a carload of workers being sent to Wellsville circulated but unverified. Officials at the Wellsville mill reportedly seek open conflict to involve sheriffs and possibly the militia. McKeesport dispatches say quiet conditions prevail with no major incidents expected. Much focus rests on the Monessen station where 12 men are said discharged for ties with Amalgamated interests. Miners reportedly plan actions.
