SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.—The fifth
International convention of the Ep-
Nvorth League was opened today under
the most auspicious conditions. The
weather was Ideal, and the attendance
equalled the most sanguine expecta
tions
The scene at the Mechanics' .pavil
ion, where the principal exercises were
held, was one not soon to be forgotten.
Never In its history lias the spacious
Interior of the pavilion presented a
more impressive spectacle. Every un
sightly Inch of wall was hidden by
tasteful decorations.
Great volumes of music from human
throats and the accompaniment of the
Stanford organ inspired a feeling of
reverential admiration and homage.
The great army of Invasion of 60,000
men and women in the rank and file
had been utovlded for in a manner
most gratifying to all.
The first services in connection with
the convention were held this morning
in the First Congregational, the Cen
tral Methodist and the Howard Street
churches, in each of which communion
•was celebrated. Bishop Joyce, presi
dent of the League, conducted the ser
vices in th First congregational church.
By noon the vast interior of the Me
chanics’ pavilion, capable of holding
over 15,000 people, was filled with a
mass of humanity which moved slowly
and good naturcdly along the aisles,
stopping at frequent Intervals to exam
ine and partake of California fruit, for
with lavish hospitality, almost every
thing had been providecb.wlthout cost
lor the visitors.
The pavilion is ordinarily a big barn-
like structure, but for the present oc
casion it has been transformed into a
spacious and comfortable auditorium,
lavishly decorated with flags, ever
greens and flowers, and roofed with the
national colors. The nccoustlcs have

PITTSBURG, Pa., July IS.—The most
important news regarding the steel
workers’ strike today was the action
of the men employed in the Duncans
ville plant of the American Steel IIoup
Company.
A telegram was received by President
Shaffer from the men in the morning,
asking if they should strike. The mes
sage was a surprise for the Amalga
mated people, as they were not looking
for this news so soon. President Shaf
fer answered, telling the men not to
come out unless they were organized.
If organized, they should strike, for
they were needed. In the afternoon
another telegram was received from
Duncansville, asking that an organizer
be sent to them at once. In compliance
with this request, Vice-President John
Pierce started for Duncansville this
evening to complete the organization.
A meeting is expected to be held to
night. The Duncansville plant is the
last of the hoop plants to remain at
work, nnd the Amalgamated Associa
tion think If they aro successful in
closing this plant they will be masters
of the situation so fnr as tho Steel
Hoop company Is concerned.
No report has been received as yet
from the organizers who went to Van-
dergrlft for missionary work at the
big plant at that point. It may be sev
eral days before defiulte results will
follow.
The action of the Ohio board of arbi
tration in offering to bring about a
settlement of the strike created some
talk today In steel circles. M. M. Gar
land, formerly president of tho Amal
gamated Association, said that ho did
not consider the action of tho Ohio
board as unusual, but rather the car
rying out of their duties as such a
body. It Is the duty of that board to
offer Its services whenever labor trou
ble occuis. In spite of this fact, Mr.
rlnnd could not see where the Irou-
s were more liable to settlement now
in before.
I cannot see what there is In tills
estlon to arbitrate,’’ he said. “The
estlon cannot be settled except by
» complete back down of one side or
3 other on u matter of principle.’’

The Amalgamaed officials were
