Strike action escalates as Amalgamated presses right to organize
The second strike day ends with Amalgamated officials claiming compliance with promises while manufacturers refuse to comment. Persifor F. Smith of the American Sheet Steel company insists non-union mills may be organized, and Shaffer states the union has the right to organize non-union plants if manufacturers allow it. The Clark mill and Monessen sheet mill closures deepen district ties, with few mills remaining in operation.
