Steel Workers to Organize. of the State. HOUSE INSPECTED YESTERDAY BIQ STRIKE CONSIDERED AT END haLETON MINORITY DELEQATES It It Believed That 16-year-old Gerald Zell Could Clear Up Some of the Mysteries In the Case, Would He But Speak. West Chester, Pa.. July 30 T. W. Plen ". counsel for William H. Pratt, made an application yesterday for a writ of habeas corpus for his client. It wan granted, and the court fixed next Monday nt 10 o'clock as the time for the bearing. Pratt was committed for a hearing on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock befoi Magistrate Pax ton. As yet that official doeB not know whetliur his bearing will be dispensed witb as a oonaequence of the habeas corpus pro ceedings. A second search of the I'ratt house wns made yesterday, the chief object being to find the "gray pants" which i'ratt wore whin he engaged Willie Wist- tn pick berries. In the party were Chlel Jeffries, District Attorney Baldwin, County Surveyor McDonnell and bis assistant, Nathan Ram bo. A pair of brown overalls were found in the shop, but the "gray pants" were missing, They are familiar to all who know Pratt us being a part of a milit.uy suit which bud seen its best days. It was learned yesterday that Mrs. Edward Hicks, sister-in-law of the dead woman, kepi a close watch in the days preceding the funeral on certain spots near the bouse in which she believed clothes might be thrown. While busying herself about house hold d Itii 8 she w:s playing detective. In su ; i i of the statement of Willie Wis.-, thai Pratt changed bis clothes. Dr. M. M Cheyney, who was the first physb ian In the bouse i.fter the trage dy. said : ilarly noticed ns we were his bonst that Pratt bad tly (b an shi't.

Wc were turn ng a corner at break-neck speed, and as I grasped the side of the l)ULy in order not to be thrown out, I turned toward Pratt As I did so 1 saw the clean shirt, apparently just put ok. and thought be was the cleanest farmer I had ever seen." Another interesting question, waiting to be solved, Is, whether one of the Sharp knives, known to have been in tb ' lions.', is missing, it was learned today that there were several sbarj knives exactly similar in size and shapi to the dull one found in Mrs. I'ratt't hand. These were for use at butcher ing time, and were kept in the dining room cuplx ard, and not in the kltchi i where the bloodstains were found. 'I dull knives were always ki t in ib kiti ben. Probably the only person, except Pratt bin self, who can say how man) of those Bharp knives there were is Gerald Zell, who until recently lived with the Pratts, He could tell thi? and so show whetl any la missing and reveal other thingit t prime im portance in this case, according to hb friends.

Decision Will Be Reached Today at the Meeting of the Amalgamated As sociation's Executive Committee. Strikers Net Relaxing Vlgllaitoe. Pittsburg, July SO. Everybody is on ! the qui vlve this morning in strike circles and the coming conference of ! the leaders of the two contending for ces Is looked forward to with mingled 1 hope and fear. Hope, however, pre 1 dominates and peace Is confidently ex pected by the majority of those inter ested. "The executive committee of the Al- g. minted Association will meet at their headquarters some time today and take up the propositions of the United States ! Steel corporation for a settlement of the steel workers' strike." This statement waa made today by ! Secretary Williams of the Amalga mated Association. Beyond this he de- clined to discuss the strike In uny form. There la no change In the position of ; the two contestants. Both sides hold 1 firmly to the plan of watching each : , other. The officials of the Wtxid mill of the American Sheet Steel company made no attempt to start the plant. While all parties concerned care fully guard the prospective terms of Settlement, from a source believed to be reliable, it Is said that Mr. Morgan proposes to permit the Amalgamated Association to continue its union lodges In the mills that were non- union prior to the strike, but which went out on President Shaffer's strike order. In addition, it is said the Leechburg, Duncansville, and Mones- j sen plants will be unionized. The ' I'nlted States Steel corporation is to be permitted to operate all of the mills of the Carnegie Steel company us they are now operated, as well as the big Bheei mills at Apollo, Vandergrift, and Saltsburg, provided the wages paid shall be on the same basis as in thn mills where the union scale is signed. 1 This would mean a gain for the work ers' union of the following plants: Lindsay & McCutcheon, In Allegheny, ("lark's Solar Iron works, Thirty fifth street. Painter's, West Carson street. Wellsvllle, Ohio. W, Dewees Wood, at McKeesport, Leechburg. Duncansville. Mingo Junction. Yi ,. ' iy was a busy day for Presi dent tfer and the executive officers of the Amalgamated Association. There was a steady stream of callers from early i.i the morning and Innumerable conferences bearing on the proposed settlement of the strike. President Shaffl r was firm in his determination not to talk on the strike situation until after the meeting today or until the de cision had been reached by the execu tive committee concerning the proposi tions of the United States Steel corpor ation. It was intimated, however, that, there was a very strong likelihood that the committee would not adjourn to day until they bad met with the manu facturers and formally discussed the .-eM lenient of tho strike. If this should be the case, actual pence Is possible In a short time. Col. 0. Watson French and J. F. Tay lor, i f the Republic Iron and Steel com pany, had a lengthy conference with 1 President Shaffer, but the object of their call was not made public. It was said that the Republic com pany wr.s In need of a number of skilled j men and In search of them. After the Visit of Col. French, Joseph Bishop, tho secretary Of tho Ohio board of arbitra tion went into conference with Presi dent Shaffer. His visit was in COnneC ' tlon with the strike and its probable set 'lenient. ' One of the most apparent facts in the ! status of the strike today Is the deter l minntlon of the strikers to lose no gr iund in their strugglewhila peace ne gotiations are being conducted. It was I explained that this plan was absolute: 1 ly necessary in order that the position i of the Amalgamated Association should be strong when the settlement takes place. Tornado Swept Over Newark. New York. July 80. A tornado 1 swept over Newark, N. J., and vicinity I rtt 4 o'clock yesterday. No one waa ! seriously injured.
