The operators are not\ assuming the offensive, after recover Ing from the first shock of the walkout For the first time since the strikt was called the national committee foi organizing the Iron apd steel workers claimed no new recruits to the union ranks. On the other hand, the operators reopened at least one plant the Runkin mill of the American Steel and Wire company, and asserted all others in operation were drawing back their employees. The Bethlehem Steel company was reported to have rejected the demand for a conference made by the union, and It is regarded as likely that the threatened strike will take place there Monday morning.

And now-they’re going back again; the steel company’s offerin' them rides In automobiles and feedin' them fancy and slippln* them a lot of dough. So they quit.”

Therefore, the American delegate would have to vote “aye,” he added, before congress even could be advised what to do.
