He sald he must decline to make his plans known at the present time. It may be said, however, on the strength of rellable information that the strike| within {ts present Nmits is Intended merely as a show of strength. At the conference last weck the rep- resentatives of the steel corporation were repeatedly warned that the association was much stronger than they knew, They were told of the organization of milis of which they had no knowledge. But the steel men would not believe that the association | was as strong as it was claimed to be. | Thus it Iv belleved the first purpose of the | association Is to show lis strength by con- fining the strike to the three companies. When the show of strength has been made, whatever it may prove to be, the asso- clation expects the companies to ask for another conference. If the companies show no inclination to make a settlement the | strike will be extended to three more com- panles. It the trust will not yleld then the strike will be extended to such in- dependent companies as sell their finished products or raw materlals to companies agalnst which a strike has been declared. Should the strike attain such proportions it would be likely to go still further. The Amalgamated assocla‘ion and the Federa- tion of Labor two years ago formed a secret alllance, It Is clalmed, which agreed that the association when on strike could also call out the steel men of the federa- tion. The latter has organizations in many mills whose workmen are not eligible to membership in the assoclation.

Of these 2,000 arc employed in the Shenango plant | and 1,400 in the Greer plant of the Amer- fcan Tinplate company and 600 at the steel plant of the Natlonal Steel company. The men of the latter mill were not called flu( by Presldent Shaffer, but notices were posted there today stating that the plant will not be in operation tomorrow. The hot mills departments of both the Greer and Shenange plants will be Idle tomorrow, af- | fecting 600 men at the former and 900 at the latter.

Yesterday morning the Elkhorn train coming from Henderson, this county, set fire to wheat stubble in seven different places. The train stopped each time and the train crew with shovels put out the fires before doing any damage. Yesterday nineteen shocks of winter wheat were burped up on Hon. Andrew J. San- dall's tarm east of York, supposed to have caught from engines on the Burlington. Nearly all of the farmers are plowing fire guards between fleld-gand railroads.
