Millvale Iron Works Shut Down Amid Ore Department Strike
The Millvale Iron Works, once Graff, Bennett, Co. and now Millvale Iron Company limited, shut yesterday after a strike in the ore department. Workers demanding higher pay halted production, with current daily wages around 140 dollars, and many strikers believed a two day week or higher raise would be proper. Most strikers remained off the job as management faced stoppage and potential plant idle time.

It asserts society advances as individuals act independently or through voluntary associations, reducing government scope and expanding personal reason and conscience.
