THE CONFERENCE AT NEW YORK.

We're Too Few Concessions.

talleu Bring feaCo because 1here
Were Too Few Concessions.
New York, Aug. 5.-Another effort
to perfect a permanent truce between
the great army Of steel workers and
the giant corporation which employs it
has failed, and now the conflicting
sides are as sharply and widely divided
as ever. The leaders on either side met
here again Saturday morning and after
a day of fruitless conference and dis.
cussion parted in a spirit that showed
no tinge of cancellation. Neither side
would surrender a position or concede
point in the dispute in which they are
involved, and present indications point
to a renewal with vigor of the struggle
There We're two conferences, the first
between the steel combine magnates,
headed by ]. Pierpont Morgan, and
the Amalgamatcd executive, headed
by Shaffer, and the second a confer.
ence of the members Of the Amalga-
mated executive.
1t is needless to say that the first
conference was fruitless. The second
was in session for over two hours, al
the close of which the following state.
ment was given to the press:
1--WE the members of the executive
| board of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
| considering it incumbent upon us to
enlighten the public through the press
with reference to the present relations
between our association and the United
States Steel Corporation, present the
following statement: The officials of
the United States Steel Corporation, in
stead of resuming negotiations where
they were suspended at the conference
held on July II, ~ and 10, have with.
drawn the propositions made at that
time and are now offering fhuch less
than they agreed to sign for then.
''The following is the proposition
which the United States Steel Corpora
ton gave us today as its ultimatum
1t will be observed that the pre-
amble states simply that the United
States Steel Corporation officials will
advise settlement by the underlined
companies:
preamble = Conditions undel
which we are willing to advise set,
Element of the labor difficulties: Tin
plate company-Should proceed un.

to call out every man who is connected

to do it. He is satisfied with the pro-
