Ter Tin Plate works at McKeesport re-
sumed operations this morning. Six
mills out of fifteen started with nearly
100 men, many of them being old en-
ployes. Deputy sheriffs were on duty,
but only few strikers were about.
Five hundred more men were at work
at the ational Tube company's plant at
McKeesport this morning, making 1000
now working in the plant. Many oth-

THE STEEL TRUST is INDEPEND-
ENT.
New York, Sept. 6.-It is understood
here to be highly improbable that the
United States Steel corporation will
take any cognizance of the Amalga-
mated association executive board
meeting in Pittsburg today whatever
it's conclusion may be. 1t was learned
today from an authoritative source
that the time named in the tentative
agreement, reached by the conference
here on Wednesday, has expired; that
tn stel corporation dcided to partici
pate no further in the peace discus
sions, and that there would be an inn
mediate move for general resumption
of work with non-union men and such
strikers as are willing to return.
CONSIDERING AN ULTIMATUM.
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 6.-The advisory
board, or general executive committee
of the Amalgamated association has
been ordered to this city, 1t is said to
consider what is believed to be the
practical ultimatum of the United
States Steel corporation. President
shaffer refused to give any information
or admit that conference has been
called.
At 11:1O o'clock, President Shaffer
called the conference together. The
board, so far as learned, is complete,
with the exception Of two vice presi-
dents.
When the conference adjourned for
lunch, an effort was made to get an ex-
preston from President Shaffer on the
announcement from the steel Office
that there would be no further peace
discussions, and that preparations
would be Immediately made to open all
mills. He had nothing to say on this
or any other subject.
At noon a notice was posted at the
Demmler works calling the attention
Of old employees to the fact that the
plant had resumed and requesting all
who wished to return to work to report
for duty not later than next Monday
morning, or their places will be filled
by other workmen.
