Six mills out of 15 were stGfted, with nearly 100 men, many or them being old employees There was no disorder The deputy sheriffs were on duty, but there was nothing Tor them to do, as only a few strikers were about the premises
 Manager Lauck stated that he had 54 men in the hot mill department and by night he expects 100 men working, every one of them old employees. Two more mills, he said, would be started this afternoon
 Five hundred more men were ar work at the National Tube Cos plant at McEeesport this morning, making
 
 number of others applied for work, but they were turned back, because the mill was not in shape to take any more men on. There was no attempt made by the strikers to stop the men as they went in. and the management claim that by next week the entire es- taDliahment will be in operation.
 The situation at the plants in Pitts burg was not greatly changed today. Twenty more men returned to the PennsyIvania tube works today, and over 200 men are now at work. A meeting of the former employees who are still out has been arranged for to- morrow afternoon, when Manager Latshaw will have a conference with the men.

 New York. Sept Cit is understood here that it is highly improbable that the United States Steel corporation will take any notice of the action of the Amalgamated association executive board at Pittsburg- 1t was learned to- day that the terms named in the tena- tive agreement recommended by the conference here on Wednesday had ex- pired the time limit and the steel cor pOration had decided to enter into no further agreements and that they would proceed at once to open up the mills with non union men and all strikers who desired to return.

 Pittsburg. Sept 6-The advisory board, or general executive committee of the Amalgamated association, has been ordered to this city, it is said. to consider what is believed to be the
  States Steel corporation. At 10 o'clock mime of the out of town members had arrived, and as soon as the others reach the headquarters the board will be called together
 President Shaffer was early at the Amalgamated rooms. but he refused to give any information, or admit that a conference had been called The others were equally reticent. Among the rumors current was one to the ef- feet that the board would go to New York tonight, but this could not be confirmed
 Another report was that plan for the settlement of the strike would be decided upon that would be acceptable to the steel officials. At 11:10 o'clock, President Shaffer called the confer rees together. The board, as far as can be learned, is complete. with the exception of two vice presidents.
