refused TO talk about the abrupt ending of the

not say what plans the steel companies would
adopt since it had been made plain that the

sent TO Mr.. Morgan an inquiry. He returned
the answer that he had no statement to make
and no information TO give Mr.. Morgan left his
office in company with his partners. Apparently

but, seeing a mar with a camera preparing to
take snap shot at him. he bolted back to the
office and later went out through another door
and got into a cab with Mr.. Dawkins in Broad-st.

John +. Ward said that even among the nom
union three -fourths of the total number
were in sympathy with the Amagamated As
sociation and willing to take active part in
