may be action at that meeting which
will change the situation. President
Shaffer would not say anything as to
the result of the conference. He said

This was the message that came
over the wire to local officials of the
United States Steel corporatio- es-
terday afternoon. Some officials heard
the message with misgivings, others
with unconcealed satisfaction. One
official left the office declaring he was
glad of it. The fight will surely be

once and for all be freed from the in

Contentious

New York, Aug. 4.-Another effort
to perfect a permanent truce between
the great army of steel workers and
the giant employing corporation has
failed and the conflicting sides are as
sharply and widely divided as ever
Leaders on both sides met here again
yesterday and after a day Of fruitless
conference, the discussion parted in a
spirit that shows no tinge of concilia-
ton. Neither side would surrender a
position or concede point and present
indications point to a renewal Of the
struggle with vigor. The Amalga-
mated association at it's close gave the
following statement to the press:
The officials of the United States
steel corporation instead of resuming
negotiations where they were sus-
pended July II and Is, have withdrawn
the propositions made at that time and
are now offering much less than they
agreed to sign for then. The follow
ing is the proposition which the
United States Steel corporation gave
us as its ultimatum:
"The Tinplate company shall pro-
ceed under the contract signed with
the Amalgamated association as Of
July II, 1901. The American Steel
Hoop company shall sign a scale for
all the mills owned by the American
Steel Hoop company that were signed
Steel company shall sign a scale for
all the mills of this company that were
signed for last year except the Old
Meadow mill lad the Salisbury mills.
AS to the strikers proposition, we de-
S re to preface our proposition by di-
rettILg attention to the fact that It is
a modification of that which was of
fered originally At the last confer
ence, as at those preceding it, we re
CURED the signature of scales for all
the 'ai!ls owned and operated by the
United States Steel corporation while
III the proposition given below we ask
that the scales be signed for none but
those mills which organized and where
causing 10 work have signiied
their desire to be connected with the
Amalgamated association. This mod
'fcation has been made because the
trust officials declared we wished to
force the men into the organization
against their will and desire. We
therefore asked that the scale be
signed for only those men who desired
it
Now comes the propositions of the
Amalgamated association: The sheet
mills signed for last year, with the cA
ception of the Salisbury and Scotia le
mill and with the addition of the Nc
keesport and Wellsville mills. All hoor
mills now known shall be organized
viz: At Youns ,town, Girard. Green
vile, Pomeroy, Warren, Lindsay. Nc
Cutcheon, Clark, Bar, Mill Monessen
Mlngo, Pinch and 9-inch, and the hooI
mills of the Cleveland rolling Mill Co
All tin mills except at Monessen. AL
other matters of detail shall be left fo]
settlement by the conference.

play. A Modern Crusoe, will open at

/. From St. Louis the company
Jumps to the California coast for an
extended engagement, after which it
will play all the large cities of the
northwest. A Modern Crusoe is a
comic romantic play. In a series of
quantity humorous scenes it places in
picturesque, logical and laughable juX-
taposition the wealth and luxury of the
modern twentieth century existence
and the primitive poverty of life on a
desert island in the south Pacific.
Among the members of the company
is Miss Isabelle Evesson, known for
her sterling work as leading lady in
some of the principal eastern stock
companies Her personal beauty and
histrionic attachments render her a
valuable adjunct to this organization
She will be seen as modern, self de-
pendent woman, devoid Of all senti

ali that attracts true womanhood.
