COULD NOT ACCEPT THE TERMS.

Death Blow, Says Rees.

Pittsburg, Aug. 5.--Vice Presidart
David Rees said this morning:
'As anxious as the members of the
executive board OF the AmalgaratHd
Association are to settle the strike,
their refusal to accept the terms OF
Mr.. Morgan was the only alternative
left them at the last moment. From
the association side to have agreed 10
the proposition that would have de-
clared all of the hoop combine mills
now idle as non-union would have
meant the desertion of the thousands
of workmen who were employed in
them and who organized and came out
on a strike since the trouble began.
To have deserted these men now
would have been the death blow OF
the organization and it would have
died in dishonor. To fight the trust in
an honorable battle, with a good
chance to win, means at least a chance
for life, but If beaten a demise of
the Amalgamated Association with

RUSSIA'S GREAT FAMINE
Whole Families Trying to Exist
on Child's Rations.
ELlzAeETHenAD SUFFERS MOST

People Of That District Become Blind
As Sun Goes Down-Many Dying of
Starvation As Result Of Hunger
Typhus.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 5.-A traveller
CHANGING into the district of Eliza
bethgrad, province of Kherson, South
Russia, would find men and women
who, endowed with serviceable visual
powers as long as the sun is visible,
become totally blind the moment twi-
light sets in and must be led home.
This Is one of the queerest diseases
known to medical science, and Is one
Of the camp followers of the famine
which is not officially admitted to exist
in this district.
In correspondence from here men,
tion has been made from time to time
of the dearth which has visited many,
though not very large, districts of
Russia and of the efforts made by the
government to alleviate suffering re-
sulting from it. The ministry of the
interior repeatedly declared the fam
inc had been conquered food had
been distributed and seed corn provid-
ed for the current year. Newspape s
here received during the last few
months occasional letters depicting
the situation in anything else than the
rosy colors which the government Or
gans used. The government answered
by communique recapitulating what
had been done, and repeating former
assertions that all was well as could
be expected, and then the newspapers
received a secret circular forbidding
further mention of the subject.
The existence of famine was an in
convenient fact at a time when nego-
tiations were pending for foreign
loans Access to the famine districts
was made difficult for non-residents of
them, and the charity workers who
were not directly under the control Of
the state were sent back to their
homes. and the agencies they had
created were placed under the Red
Cross, which Is as much branch of
the government as any ministry. These
measures did not still the natural
curiosity to ascertain the truth about
the matter, and certain people with
influential connections which could not
be ignored sent trustworthy young
man to Elizabethgrad to investigate
for himself. He has just returned.
Without going into details, he reports
the following facts:
The city and districts of Elizabeth
grad. with population of 100000, are
suffering now from famine and disease
incident upon famine. The investigat-
or found:
l. General destitution.
2. Many cases of acute destitut.on.
3. Some people dying of starvation.
A. Spotted" or hunger typhus prev
alent.
Hunger typhus is an unfailing indi-
cation that poverty has sharpened into
want.
Whole families are attempting to ex-
ist on rations allowed for a single
child. The government is still making
an unavailing effort to alleviate the
suffering.
st. Petersburg has been planning to
celebrate the two hundredth anLiver-
sary of her foundation by an exposi-
tion in 1908. Minister De Witte has,
however. decided that the time is too
short for such a grand undertaking,
and 1t will be deferred until 1913,
which will be 200 years after the cap
ital was removed here.

stand or fall
There will be no more conferences

tion unless the meeting is asked for

The Amalgamated Association viii not
request peace meeting"
These and several other significant
statements were made last night by
Theodore j. Shaffer, president of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, upon his re-
turn from the fruitless conference
with j. Pierpont Morgan and others in
New York
1t is now fight to the bi,;er f.njsl
between the great billion dollar steel
trust and organized labor. Mr.. Shafer
says that he is ready to employ every
peaceable means within the power of
man to win victory. No quarter is
to be given and none will be requested.
The entire management of the battle
has been placed in the hands of Presi
dent Shaffer. He has absolute power
to call out every man who is connected
with the organization, and he intends
to do it. He is satisfied with the pro-
gress of the fight to date He finds
that none of his battle lines have been
broken.
Mr.. Shaffer was asked this question::
do you think you will be able to
close all of the mills of the Steel Cor
poration?"
II am of the opinion that every one
of them can be closed. We have some
great surprises in store for the trust.
The men have been organized in some
of their mills that they never dreamed
could be touched. We have the sym
pathy of the workmen, and they will
not throw any straws in the way of
our ABSOLUTE victory"
Don't Jlsme Mr.. Morgan for all
this" said Mr.. Sbaffer, as he went on.
"Mr. Morgan knows atsolutely nothing
about the true condition., of the mills
except as he is told by Others He has
their word and is guided by it entirely.
| believe that Mr. Morgan is a fair
minded man and is only acting on his
judgment based on information of
others whom he looks to"
Mr.. Shaffer said that the stories that
Mr.. Morgan had been ugly during the
conference on Saturday were untrue.
He said the gentleman had been cour-
teous and business like throughout the
entire meeting, and if he had lost his
temper 1t was after the adjournment
of the gathering.
Are you afraid of southern negroes
being brought in to break the strike?"
the south are thoroughly organized
We have not been overlooking that
detail. They make the best kind Of
