Mills Under Union Rules Except Monessen Mill
The Monessen mill remains non union while other mills in the company operate under union rules. The plant was kept under former officers for five years after securing the trust to prove patent methods for tin plate production. Thirty six men were discharged for adopting union principles, yet manager Percy Donner asserts the plant runs at full capacity with all departments active. News from Wellsville reports seven former union members returned to work at mill No. 4, allowing another crew. In Youngstown, Ward and trustee Jenkins were summoned to Pittsburgh for talks with President Shaffer, with officials hopeful of a settlement within a day. Fire in two gas furnaces of the finishing mill of the American Steel Hoop Company has been lit, pegging start-up by Aug 1. In New York, prominent Steel Corp figures were absent. a statement from Judge Gary’s office is promised to contrast conjecture with fact.
