STRIKE SETTLEMENT
STILL HANGING FIRE
Nothing Definite Has Been
Accomplished Yet.
MANY RUMORS AFLOAT
Situation at SlcKeesport, Wellsvllle
and Other Points—Some of the Strik-
ers Are Not us Suuguiuo of an Early
Settlement us on Yesterday.
Pittsburg, July 31.—The outcome of
the deliberations of the executive board
of the Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel aud Tinworkers upou the proposi-
tions of the United States Steel corpora*
tiou officials for the settlement of the
strike is still hanging in the balance.
While nothing definite was accom
plished yesterday tho more sanguine
element seemed to be still in the ma
jority and better nows is hoped for
today.
From what could be learned, in spite
of the secrecy maintained, the older and
more conservative members were will
ing to accede to the propositions made
to them by the other side, but the
younger ones displayed a spirit of great
er independence and a reliance on the
power of the organization to force bet
ter terms than those submitted to them.
The meeting was said to bo continued
this morning, but when tho newspaper
men arrived at headquarters they w r ere
refused admittance to the building by
order of the owner of the Bissell block,
iu which the Amalgamated association
meets. This made it difficult, to obtain
any definite information, aud all sorts
of rumors became at once circulated. It
was stated that the meeting would be
held elsewhere, that President Shaffer
aud Secretary Williams had left for
Mew York last uigbr, that several mem
bers or the board had gouo to see Sena
tor Hanna at Cleveland, and that no
meeting would be held today, or until
the uatioual officers and absent mem
bers of the board returned.
The report that Shaffer had slipped
off to New York was proven untrue, as
he was seeu on the streets of this city
during the morning. One fact, how
ever, is certain, aud that is, that at 10
o’clock only two men could be seen iu
the rooms of the Amalgamated associa
tion, one of them Vice President David
Rees, who was vigorously working the
telephone. Shortly before 11 o’clock a
number of the vice presidents arrived,
but as far as could be learned there was
no meeting. They sat around talking
and evidently were waiting for the
coming of the national officers.

SITUATION AT MCKEESPORT.
Strikers Not So Hopeful of Kurly Set
tlement as Yesterday.
Pittsburg, July 31.—The MeKees-
port strikers wore restless all night and
there was more excitement than at any
time during the strike. Rumors of the
company attempting to steal a march on
the DeWees Wood men and bring a
trainload of non-anion men while the
peace conference was on. kept the pick
ets and patrols on the alert, and the
evident readidess of both the Wood and
Demmler plants to start oil at a few
minutes notice increased the feeling of
uneasiness that was prevalent, but no
attempt was made at either plant to re-
lame.
me report that on agent was coming
to town to eecare men for Wellsville
kept the strikers on the anxionB seat and
100 man watched all night. If found,
the strikers asserted, they would pat
him on a car peaceably and have him
leave town. The strikers are not as
hopsfnl for a settlement of the strike ns
they were yesterday. Since the return
last night of the McKeesport men. who
were in attendance at tne conference,
the feeling that a long strike is certain
has become general and those closest to
the national officers of the Amalgamated
association seem to have least hopes of
any settlement being made at preseat.
It is currently understood that the
terms asked by Mr. Morgan are nothing
like the ones which were published at
constituting the agreement and they
wonld necessitate steps which wonld
force matters to about the same point
thev were before the strike.
At Duqnesne and Homestead last
night there were several small meetings
and the men were In communication
with Amalgamated reports
The feeling there is much like that
among the National Tube workers, but
the Federation of Labor has not nearly
so many members in those towns It is
said that a strong Amalgamated lodge
is being organized at each place and
that a similar movement is on foot at
Braddock.
The situation at Wells ville and in the
local plants closed down by the strike is
unchanged. There is no excitement and
the strikers are quietly awaiting tho re'
salt of the oxeentive board meeting.

Montgomery, Ala., July 31.—A fire,
which was discovered yesterday in
