It was stated that the question of

ietermlned Generally speaking, tho
norkeis, fiom Piesldent Shaffer down
teem to be looking for some bort of a
lettlement
The general officers of the American
Bteel Hoop company nre In this city
hut It was stated thete today that
President W. K Corey, who Is also ex
etutlve head of tho National Steel
company, had nothing to say concern
ing thp plans of the companies in
meeting the difficulties of the strike,
nor ns to what conditions tho mills'
were In wheio non-union nien had
Joined the forces of the strikers. The
policy of tho nianufactuiers, It Is said,
Is to remain aulet for a time and await
developments. The otllclals of the
Ameilcan Tlnplate company are all In
New York and the company's side of
the trouble was not obtainable heie.
At the dlsttlct ofllceH of the Ameikan
Bheet Steel company a meeting of
managers was held today, it was a
closely guai ried meeting and Infoinin..
tlon was hard to secure. It was said,
however, that the reports fiom the
managers refened to the condition of
affairs In the non-union plants of the
company. It was claimed that tho men
In the old Meadow mill In Hcottdule
would not go out on strlko. The Scott
dale Iron and Steel mill Is also woik
Ing and no signs of a strike aio visible
there. The attempt on tho part of the
association to attaik tho forces In the
big Vandergrlft mills In Vandei grift,
Ta., was not lrgarded seriously, though
the company Is wntchlng closely alt
such movements.
When Piesldent Shaffer was Inform
ed of tho granting of thotidvnnco to
thf Mfoespoit Tube workers he said:
'I anticipated such notion on the
part of the manufai turers and have
wamod our mon to guard against being
blinded by such dust-throwing meth
ods The tube men In McKoespoit nre
tinoigiiiilzed and this advance coming
with tho beginning of the strlko of the
einplovcs of the three companies with
whkh wo nre at Issue, Is an Indication
that tho steel corporation appreciates
tho strength of the Amalgamated as
sociation and Is trjlng to thwart Its
glow th nnd alms by uch means as
have boon adopted In McICeespmt I
export that similar advances will bo
given to tho men In other woiks of the
I'nltod States ooi potation that have
not been affected by tho stilke oider,
In the hope that the workers may re
fuse to come out should we decide to
extend the strlsV to nil thp plants of
tho corpointlon."
Surprises of Strike
In addition to tho very general, and
In some lnstnnces rather unexpected,
compliance to the strike order, the
Amalgamated association tonight has
added two mote mills to Its list, both
of which weio claimed today b the
companies to be bevond the reach of
organbatlon. VMien the William Clarke
Sons' company's mill at Thirty-fifth
Ft! cot, which opoiatod all day non
union, came to shift tho turns tonight,
none of tho skilled men lepoited for
dittv and tho plmt had to close down.
Later the following was received con
tenting the mill lonslderod by the
manufacturers unext optionally lojal
"Moonosson. Pa -Thp' Moenesscn steel
hoop plant Is closed, and has been or
ganised by district delegates of the
Amalgamated association.' The dele

went to work immediately. Hy 3 o'clock

evening for Plttsbuig, nfloi advising
the men to stand flim. The men held
a meeting tonight to elect ofllecrs and

Tlio conquest of these two plans is
considered by the nwoc latlon people as
an Instance of theli strength, nnd an
Indication that Piesldent Shaffer's as

NO HOPE OF A

Today No Response from
Employers.
By Fxclusiee Wire from The Associated Prcsj
Wllkes-Barre, July 13. President
Mullahy, of the Statlon.uy Firemen's
Association of Pennsjlvanla, has given
up all hope of an nmlcable settlement
of the strike of tin men cndeied to be
gin tomonovv moining. There were no
responses today fiom Pinployeis, nnd
nothing new lemalns to bo done but
to put Into execution the ultimatum
of the executive committee of the as
sociation, t.x That all stationary
fliemen affiliated with the state asso

unless their demands for mi elght
houi day ate gianted.
It Is expected that six bundled flie
men In the Wyoming region will le-fut-e
to go to woik tomorrow. Most
of ther-e men am employed at the
mines and unless new men can be se
em eel to take their places many of
the collieries will have to suspend
opeiatlons. This will throw a great
many miners out of emplojment, but
Just how many will not be known until
tomoirow.,
The toal opeintors ate confident that
they will be able to man their boiler
rooms and that tho stilko of tho fire
men will not cause a gmeial suspen
sion of woik. Piesldent Mullahy and
the other ofllecrs of the Firemen's as
sociation seem to think that the stilke
will be of short duration In tho coal
