STEEL WORKERS MILITANT.
ALLIED WITH MOSCOW INTERNATIONALE. 20,000 INVOLVED. (Received Monday, 11.10 p.m.) OTTAWA, April 8. A telegram from Saint John, New Brunswick, says one of the most serious strikes in Canada seems immident, due to the demands of twenty thousand employees of the British Empire Steel Corporation for a thirty pel’ cent, increase of wages, the employment exclusively of union members and the continuation of the system whereby the company deducts union dues from the wages of employees and sends them directly to the union. The company offers a twelve per cent, increase, but refuses to accede to the other two demands. These employees belong to the International Mine Workers’ and Steel Workers Unions, whose heads are Americans and who refuse to countenance the strike. The recalcitrants, however, have thrown off the alliance with the international unions and affiliated with the Moscow International.
