Pittsburg.?The United Suites Stool
Corporation made a decisive move in
the strike campaign by Issuing a peremptory
order directing that the great
Dewees Wood plant at McKeosport be
dismantled and removed to the Klskiniinetns
Valley.
IVrsifer P. Smith. district manager
for the American Sheet Steel Company,
made the announcement in the
following brief statement:
"I have orders from President Sic
Murtry, of the American Sheet Steel
Company, to tear down nt once the
Dewees Wood plant, nt McKeesport. I
and remove the same to Kiskimlnetns
Valley. This I shall proceed to do Immediately."
The publication of the order was a
great surprise, auil McKeesport nt
first received It with doubt. Actual
preparations were made later in the
day to dismantle the mill. The strik-I
ers hoard the order in a spirit of do- I
fiance. They said tiint It showed that j
the steel corporation was convinced
that it could not reopen the plant in
the face of the opposition of the Amalgamated
Association. Strike leaders
said the 04 lor was a bluff, which had
boon unsuccessful lwforr. and declined
to take it seriously. President Simffrr.
after re .id ins the order, declined
to talk about it. "'I have nothing to i
