Steel Strike Kesults. Seen.

Experts are busy at Pittsburg computing the cost of the steel strike to the corporation and to the workers. On an estimate that 60,000 men have been thrown idle for two months and a half their loss in wages approximates $10,000,000. Gross earnings of the constituent companies have been cut off to the extent of nearly $15,000,000. Much of this will be made up, for many of the orders hold good. It is estimated that the Amalgamated association carried 9,000 of its members into the strike out of about 14,000 when the strike started and the outcome of the contest has lost recognition for 2,600 of these men.
