Show Mo Strik-ri Nod Apply. Scottdale, Pa., May 29. The rush of old men for work at the various vari-ous plants continues. In most instances, in-stances, however, they are turned oil with au excuse, and given to understand that their services are not needed. Hundreds Hun-dreds of old miners are drifting from one works to anuther in tbe vain hope of finding work, but everywhere they are met wilh the same statement of "u j work." This simply means that a blacklist has gone through the region, and a man refused at one of the works is certain lo bo refused at another. As a result, they are either preparing prepar-ing to leave the district for another field, or are drifting aimlessly about, and more homes have been broken up by the striko that just closed than by all the strikes that preceded this gigantic i failure. Reports are corning in hourly of tha homeless destitution of hundreds hun-dreds of families. |
