NO EXTENSION OP STRIKE The Situation at Pittsburg Has Not Ghanoed During the Past Twentu-tour Hours. MILLS PREPARE TO START Late in the Day the Fires Aro Light ed in the Demmler Tin Plate Works Managers Preparing to Reopen the Mills -A Strike Break er Claims That the Situation Was Not Clearly Explained to Him. President Shaffer Says That Strlko Will be Won. Hy Kuhuive Wire from Tlie .Vtoclateii I'reM. Pittsburg, Aug. 21. The steel strike situation underwent no change today. Thete was no extension of the stt Ike nnd the steel nianagets did not at tempt to start any more mills. Lat" In the day the tltes weie lighted In the Deininlar tin tilate woiks at McKees- poi t, but the machinery vas not start ed and no attempt was made to oper ate it. it Is believed, however, that the movement is preliminary to it start with non-union men. The manageis of th" company have been nretiarlng for several da) a to reopen a number of th If properties and It Is thought that they have decided to act at once. The Monessen plant is moving abend un interruptedly with full crews and their Ciescent winks at Cleveland has about half the machines In operation. Theto has been no break In theCarneglegroup and the mills that have been started with non-union men since the strlko began are going ahead with about the same force of men. The leadeis on either side were busy all day, but at nightfall both said there weie no an nouncemtnts to make. Wry I Preston was at tht olllce of the Carnegie Steel company and confeired nt length with President W. K. Cary and other leading ofllclals. Piesideiit Shaffer was at the ofllce of the Amalga mated assertion all day and spent most of the time conferring with dele gations of strlkets. On the street It was a day of exciting ipiiorv, begin ning with a circumstantial story- of a plot to destroy the Monongahela tin plant and ending with a tale of tho removal of the United States Steel cor poiatlon to Kngland. ltptvveen the two rumor again settled the strike In sev eral ways. At heatlouartprs cold de nial was given to all the Inteiestlng stories. It was another clay of peace In all the strike districts, although the general probability of trouble still holds good at the places where feeling runs high. Strike Breaker's Story. John Sternsdorf, a rougher from Plehmond. Vn., who claimed that he was a member of tho party of strike breakers brought to .Monessen on Sun day by "Alabama Joe" Carter, was at strike headquarters today. lie said that Carter had entirely misrepresent ed tho facts to him and that he had slipped out of the works the first time a chance had presented Itself. He says fourteen men left P.Ichmond; that five deserted en route and that three left when ho did. He placed the number of men now In them 111 nt eighteen nnd saltl vety little work was being accomplished. The strikers welcomed Sternsdorf and were elated over his statement. When he told them that another party was being formed to come north, they took steps to head It off. According to the strike leadeis, only two men who were membeis of the association have gonp to work In mills that are now being opciated partly or In full with non-union men. Assistant Secretary M. F. Tlghe said today that he was still of thp opinion that most of the men In the Chicago mill would be out before the end of the present week. Ho said that he had received word from the mills, but of a personal nature, and he could not give nny of the dp talls. I'ipsldetit Shaffer said that tho strike would bp won by thp strikers. lie believed that when he started tho strike, and he still believed It. Ho said that he was still prepared to dis cuss honorable terms of settlement with the steel corporation, but that hp did not look for any move In that direction for some time to come, Mr. Shaffer's Plans. President Theodore J. Shaffer, of the Amalgamated association, said tonight that he hiifi well defined plans to btlng the strlkP to a close This Is to be done by bringing about such a crisis In the differences between the steel i'orporatlon and the Amalgamated as sociation as will force a settlement. Just how nil this Is to be accomplished Is a mystery, but It will not bo by arbitration or litigation. In answer to questions about the numerous stoiles going the rounds of mediation or arbitration, Mr. Shaffer dismissed all by salng: "We have not heard from the other side; we have not placed anything before, them nnd I know of nobody act ing for either side or on any side. "Wo are not hunting for nt hit union. Arbitration, reptcsentlng both hides might be woie than the strike Itself, Two willing champions, one for each Ide, might havei ii vwux light In choosing a third party and In settling the differences than we In the con tinuation of the stt Ike. "I have told the other side that per sonally I would consent for disinter ested arbitration In the hands of such public men as are Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Potter and Seth Low, although I dll not as an ofllcer of the artoela Hon, suggest such a move, I was will ing to advise it." A squad of non-union tin woikera are bcheduled to arrive In Pltuburg at 10.50 o'clock In the morning, their destination lielng either Demmler or the Star tlnplate works-. Seven strikers were arrested near the gates of the Pennsylvania tube works In Soho. When the whittle blew at 30 o'clock a crowd of about 1 T.Oi) gatheied to give a watm recep tion to any vvnikers who might come from the mill. None came, but the eiowd became noisy and the large force of policemen on hand run the lead cts (all forelcnrrs) Into the mill olllce and culled for the patrol. American Federation nlltelals offeied ball lor the prisoners, who are charged with disorderly conduct, but the mag Isttate tefused to accept It. Jollct Men Anxious to Work, Jollet, III., Aug. il.

Noth ing olllcial could be learned of the proceeding), hut perlslstent rumor is that the men ate preparing to go baeJs to work, 't Is said If notice Is posted calling them back, the men will go and such notice U looked for by Sunday.

BLAZING OIL IN A STREE1 Fresh Disaster on the Sceno of ths Point Breeze Fire Largo Quanti ties of Burning Petroleum In the Streets Wild Strtmpcdo of th Victims Ambulance Surgeoni Tient Those of the Injured Who Are Not Taken to Hospitals. Br Kxdusive Wire from The Awiclated Press. Philadelphia. Aug. 21. Hy the cot. apse of a burning oil tanik today at the Atlantic Rellning company plant at Point Hi coze, where a tire has be.n raging flnce Monday afternoon, about 100 persons, lliemeti, employes of the company and spectatom were more or less Foverolv burned. Most of tha cases were tt rated on the ground by ambulance surgeons, but a few of them were seriously Injured and te nioved to the hospitals. It was short ly after 2 o'clock this afternoon when the tank fell, the heavy Iron sheathtns separating nt the senilis precipitating Bfc.it ciunntltlcA of blazing- petroleum Into Passyunk avenue. There was a wild stainde among the people In the vicinity, but many of them were badly huriicd by the fiery spray which fell among them. Dykes weie hastily thrown up by the firemen and employes of the com pany nnd tho blazing fluid -was con duct! to an aiea of about two hlork cm Passyunk avenue. At one time It woh thought the llamfs would com municate with the purifying house of the t'nlted flas ltupiovement company which Ik separated from the oil works by a vacant lot. The burning oil over flowed the dykes to the lot and only the most determined efforts saved the gas company's, property. Trenches were dug ami eight lines of hose wero kept constantly playing on the puri fying house. It Is feared that other exploding or collapsing tanks may cause the oil to Hood the trenches, In which event It would bo extremely dltllcult to save tlie ras works. Oil in the Sewers. After yesterdays c.ploslon a small quantity of burning oil entered a few of ttie seweis, but burned out before reaching the river. Today the hastily construe ted dykes prevented the oil which pouted Into the stt est from en tetlng the sewer Inlets. The firemen are exerting every effort to prevent tho blazing lluld fiom reaching the river, as much destruction to property would undoubtedly result If this should oc cur. Tonight tvjji o.l tanks ate In flames. On either side of one of them are two benzine tanks which are in imminent danger. Mnes of hos ate constantly playing on the benzine tanks, but oill clals of the tire depoitment express the fear that they tatinot bo saved. Tho company's otllellas dec line to state thj number of tanks thus fat destroved, but It Is claimed by the firemen that fifteen have ceitalnly been burned and It Is iliopubic that the number la greater. The aveiage quantity of oil In each tank Is said to be about 20,000 ba 1 rels. The big lulck tin shop, the machine house and the oillco buildings arc stll' intact. FOUR FATAL ACCIDENTS.
