STEEL STRIKE
ABOUT OVER
The Prevaillno Opinion in Plusbtirrj
Is That the Trouble Is Prac
tically Settled.
A SECRET CONFERENCE
Trustee John Tierce Mnkes About
tho Only Approach to a- Statement
of Any Yesterday He Says tho
Proposition of the Steel Company
Could Not Be Accepted Mr. Shaf
fei's Plans.
B F.itluaiTe Wira from The AwocU.'fd I'l-n.
Pittsburg, Sept. .1. Tho piovailinff
opinion In I'lttsburc tonlRht Is that the
Ki'cnt steel strike Is ptactlenlly settled,
but nbsohitely nothini; positive can be
learned from cither side to the eontto
vrrsy, Tho day was spent by tho Amalga
mated advisory board In seeiel eon
foienee behind doors that were guarded
closer than ever before. The news
paper "dead line" was ill awn most ef
fectively. "When tho final adjourn
ment for the day came at about i 'M
p. in those who had been Inside head
quarteis tefused to say a word In an
swer to Inslsent questioners and
volunteered no statement. When tho
meeting was over It was learned for
the first time that President Shaffer
had not been with his colleagues dur
ing the afternoon session and hW
wheieabouts up to It o'clock tonight
are unknown. Secretin y Williams nlo
disappeateil shortly after tho adjourn
ment and. he too cannot bo located.
Hepoits were cut rent all evening tb.it
the two gentlemen had gone to New
York, but at n lato hour tonight both
Mr. Shaffer and Mr. Williams weio
found at their homes.
Mr. Williams stated that neither Mr.
Shaffer nor any other olllolal of the
association was going to New York.
While no olllolal statement was made
regaidlng any further movements to
night, It was learned on good author Hy
that a meeting of the executive board
of the Amalgamated association had
been called to take up the peace matter
and It was probable this meeting would
be held tomorrow or Sattuday at tho
latest.
None of the inembets living out of
Pittsburg nnlved In the city tonight,
however If this meeting convene
soon it Is believed that some ptoposl
tion for the settlement of the stilke
will bo decided upon, that will bo pol
ble to meet the I'nlted States Steel
1 orpor.Wlon with. Pending such a de
cision on the pait of the Amalgamated
assrn latlon, President Shaffer declined
to make any statement and persistent
ly declared that peace talk came only
fiom those oui"ide of the oig.tui''atioli
whom weio hi ting without author!!.
Mr. Pleice would not say that all
negotiation had been broken off. and
his intimation that the Amalgamated
ass elation Is willing to arbitrate dif
leieiKes would Indicate that all ef
forts for peace have not been aban
doned.
Aildo from the mysterious confo".
emc, theie was nothing much of a
Mai King natuie transpired In tho
strike In this city.
The steel olllclals ilnlm a big gain
h. tl.e addition of lo men at tho Na
tional Tube works at McKeesport,
making the total number nt woik,
fiJI; and accessions at the Pennsylva
nia lube woiks and Continental tube
plant In this city. Tho strikers offset
thP' by claiming that the Delimiter
tin mill 1 ould not be taited thli
morning, as olllelally scheduled, be
muse of tin lack of men.
Manager I.atick. of tho Delimiter
plant, declared this afternoon that bid
men weie tondy to go to woik. but
tho start would bo defened until to
icirrow. Only Trouble Reported.
TIih onlv tiouble roiioi'leil fiom anv
ilisttiet today was that fiom Canal
Dover, wheie District Manager K. I'.
Cllue. of the Shoot Stool company, was
knocked down and narrowly escaped
seveie tieatni-nit at the hands of a
paity of sttlkeis, dining a heated ds.
1 ussloii In tho bar of the Central
hotel. Tho .strikers claim that Clino
was the aggtessor and charges will ha
preferred against him.
Sheriff William c. McKlnley. of Al
legheny county, will not enter Into tiny
controvoisy with Mayor Iloboit .1.
Hlack, of McKeesport, leg.udlug th
sending of deputies to guard the
plants of the Amoiicnu Tin i'late com
pany nt Deiuniler. The shot Iff do
tlaies that ho Is only p.-rformlng hh
duty vested In the authority and to.
sponsibllltles of his oirtcc, and will not
be disturbed by tlie criticisms of out
siders. "As the Hheilff of this county I will
try lo comply with the laws of Penn
sylvania, and will send deputies wher
ever they may be leiiulred."
The following telegiam was received
today by Piooldent Sh.ilfer:

fjeorge Powell, president of the Tin
Workers' Protective association, called
on President Shaffer today. Mo stuted
that ho deplored a recent publication
ciltkislug President Hhiiffer'H lomlutt
of the strike nnd stated that ho had
not Inspired tho article and, In fact,
knew nothing of the matter until It
was published. In referemo to the se
cession of tho hot mill men, Piesldent
Powell stated that the constitution of
the Federation of l.abop, lo which both
tho Amalgamated association nnd tho
Tin Workers' association, aio connect
ed, would prohibit tho reported change
of the hot mill men. A steel nftlchil
announced tonight that ono liuiidicn
men would be taken from tin; Star
plant In this city and transferred to
other plant. They will leave the city
over tho Pennsylvania railroad, but
their destination has not been learned.
Tho olllclal says tho Star plant has
more men nt work than can be ac
commodated comfortably nnd this di
vision will be made lo assist loss for
tunate mills.
The New York Meeting.
Tho confeience of the members of the
coniillallou (oinmltteo was resumed at
tho Ashland house at 5 o'clock and con
tinued until S.30, lining which time
thete was more telephoning. When
the conference adjourned Mr. Mitchell
explained the point reached In the ne
gotiations with the steel corpotntlon
has not vet been noted upon, but the
board will probably reject It today.
Nevertheless, ho expressed his opinion
that tlie sttlko would bo yet sottletl
amicably, though ho declined to state
how he thought this would be brought
about.
Mr. Miti hell, while disclaiming that
he spoke for the committee and say
ing that ho was merely giving Infor
mation for the accommodation of tho
pi ess, said: "When nil negotiations
between the Amalgamated association
and tho United States Steel corpora
tion In regard to the stilke were broken
off the committee on conciliation of
tho Nallonal Civic Federation endeav
ored to In Ing tho tepi'CsenUitivos of
both Intoi estH together, or to act as
inodlatois between them.
"Wo held conference at Pltlsbtug
and obtained propositions from It with
mtthoiity to submit tho snmo to the
United States Steel ( oiporatioti. These
propositions v." submitted to the com
mittee at yesterday's (Wednesdaj)
cunfeieiue. The company lejected lh.
propositions.
"Wo then discussed the situation at
length with Mr. Schwab and his col
leagues, and obtained from them con
ditions upon which thoy would agree
lo settle the strike, these terms to hold
Rood until this (Thursday) evening.
"Wo submitted these terms to .Mr.
Shaffer nnd his colleagues. Tin; olll
cets of the association expressed their
conviction to us that the ptoposod
terms will not be approved. Wo en
ti (alii the hope that an amicable set
tlement of this conlllct will jet bo
reached."
Air. Mitchell declined to make pub
lic either the pioposltlon made to tho
steel corporation or tho counter propo
sition made by Mr. Schwab, or to state
whether the time limit for the acicpt
ftneo of tho latter proposition has been
extended.
Stiikeis Would Not Woik.
Advb es f 1 mu Canal Dover, Ohio, to
night, say:
"The attempt to operate the mills at
this place has been a failure. Two
milts started tin 00 days ago. Today
the Hies wore drawn. Tho combina
tion has ( lalmed for some days to have
enough men to operate least four mills.
Tho strikers have denied this and
declined it would bo Impossible to inn
tlie mills with the men who are In the
mills at pieseut. It was positively
learned toclaj that there aie sIxty-sK
men within tho mill onolosuio. This
Includes all the 1 omlilnation wotklng
