POSSIBLE THAT PEACE MAY BE
DECLARED TODAY.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 5.-There is rea-
son to believe that something of i'm
portance touching the interests Of the
Sheet Steel and Hoop Steel mills will
develop here tomorrow. It is known
that meeting Of the AmaIgamated ad-

This being the case it is more than
likely that reply to the ultimatum of
the ANA lgamated association will be
IN the hands of officials tomorrow in
time to be discussed by the advisory
board 1t is strongly suspected that
local labor leaders were today in teIe-
phone conference with the New York
people.
President Shaner of the AmaIgamat-
ed association today denied the rumor
that he was going to New York for a
conference with the officials of the
United States Steel corporation, but
said he might go to Milwaukee to as
sist in the settlement Of several spe-
clal sales for the Federal Steel COM
pany. He said there was nothing new
in the situation
Asked whether he had made the
statement attributed to him that if at
the expiration of a certain period no
agreement had been reached. he would
order out all the Amalgamated men
employed in mills controlled by the
| United States Steel corporation, Pres
ident Shaffer replied saying that he had
