MACON, GA., MONDAY MORNING, JULY 29, 1901 DAILY—.00 A YF.AH THE STRIKE OF STEEL MEN MAY END THIS WEEK The Conference in New York Saturday Resulted in Paving the Way for Renewal of Negotiations Between Conflicting Interests-Harvey Brought About the Meeting Which Now Has Promise of Effecting an Amicable Settlement. riTTSBURG, Pa., July 2S.—The strike of the steel and tin workers of the Amalgamated Association against tho United States Steel Corporation prob ably will be settled this week. The con ference held in New York Saturday be tween the officials of the United States Steel Corporation and President T. J. Shaffer and Secretary John Williams, of the workers’ organization, has re sulted in paving the way for a re newal of negotiations between the two conflicting interests. It is said that a basis for such a conference has been arrived at. This basis is still locked up in the minds of the officials of the two organizations and will not be di vulged until later this week. If the basis is satisfactory to the general ex ecutive committee of the Amalgamated Association, the conference between the association and the manufacturers , will proceed at once. If, on the other hand, the basis is not on what tho Amalgamated Association will permit to bo considered as negotiable ground, the strike will be continued with the same vigor as at present, and with in definite time for its ending. President Shaffer and Secretary Will iams of the Amalgamated Association returned from New York this morning. They left the metropolis at 8:30 o’clock Saturday night, after an eventful day. They had spent many hours in confer ence with the leading officials of the steel trust, had evaded all of the New York reporters and came home with hopes for an early ending of the pres ent contest. In Pittsburg, little wns known of the conference, but the great est interest in the outcome wus shown among the manufacturers. Secretary Williams was found at his home this evening. Mr. Williams wus courteous and promptly admitted that h*» had been with President Shaffer in New York and had seen J. P. Morgan, but jh to what had taken pi: he said with firmness that pledged to secrecy and could not talk. If there was anything to be given out it would have to come from President Shaffer, but he wus positive President Shaffer would not be at liberty to talk for some days yet. When asked If he regarded the situation hopeful^ for a settlement, he declined even to offer an opinion. Additional information regarding the New York meeting of the industrial leaders wnB afterward picked up from reliable sources. It wss Elated that the two Amalgamated officials left Pitts burg late on Friday night, and when they arrived in New York went direct to the private office of Mr. Morgan in the banking house In Wall street. The meeting between the Pittsburg men and Mr. Morgan lasted from about 11 o’clock in the morning until 4 in the after noon. At no time did the conference adjourn to the Empire building, where the head offices of the United States Steel Corporation are located. During the conference. President C. M. Schwab and Judge E. H. Gary were present, most of the time. Another conferee was Mr. Dawkins, one of Mr. Morgan's partners. The Amalgamated officials declare their attendance due almost en tirely to Mr. Morgan and Mr. Schwab. They went over the grounds on which the strike began and discussed a set tlement basis. After getting the evi- V deuce of the steel compnny and giving \theirs in return, Mr. Shaffer and Mr. Williams left the office and spent their ilmc away from public places, avoiding lintels and taking their meals in res taurants. In explanation 6t the hurried trip that the two officers made to New York on Friday night. It was said that until nearly 5 o’clock in the afternoon neith er of the officers knew that he would be required to leave Pittsburg, and had made plans for entirely different pur poses. Prior to that time Col. George B. M. Harvey, manager of Harper Bros., the publishers of New York, was a caller at the office of President Shaf fer. When Col. Harvey left, the Invi tation to go to New’ York had been ex tended and had been accepted. It was positively stated today that the meet ing between the heads of the Amalga mated Association and the United &*ate* Steel Corporation was due to no outer person or persons than Col. Har- v«y, and that there were no others ptesent at any time, before or after tie visit of Col. Harvey, to help the ctuae along. it is believed that before the end of tie week the mills will all be ready to rtn afiatn, providing repairs are com piled that have been undertaken since strike began.

NEW YORK, July 28.—The steam ship Ponce, from San Juan, Porto Rico, July 23, docked in Brooklyn this after noon.

As soon as the Ponco docked custom house in spectors examined the baggage of the passengers, eighty in number. All cigars and cigarettes were seized and the owners told to ,; come back tomor row for them." Among the passengers was J. R. Gar rison, auditor of Porto Rico. He in formed the inspectors that, according to the president’s proclamation, free trade now exists between th > United States and Porto Rico. Tho inspectors claimed that they had no official in formation to that effect, and Mr. Gar rison complied with the order to dump the contents of his dozen trunks on the pier. The baggage of all the other passengers was similarly inspected. After this general overhauling of the baggage, a telephone message was re ceived to seize only cigars in lots of over 400. Passengers who did not have that quantity were let out. One, how ever, who had 430 cigars, was requYvcd to turn them over and told to come around Monday and pay for the inter nal revenue s»tamp«. The inspectors claim that they know free trade now exists between this country and Porto Rico, they do not know it officially, and that it will be several days before the new order can be put into effect.
