There is no doubt that the move

Rumor of Conference.

RumOr of Conference.
Assistant Secretary Tighe reported
everything quiet in Amalgamated cir
cles Saturday. The absence of Presi-
dent Shaffer and Secretary Williams
caused the circulation of rumor
that conference was in progress, but
Secretary Tighe assured the news
paper men that they were attending to
private business. 1t was reported that
Joseph Bishop, secretary of the Ohio
board of arbitration, would be in Pitts
burgh Saturday to confer with Presi-
dent Shaffer on the subject Of media
ton, but if he arrived in the city he
is keeping dark, as he was not regis
tered at any of the hotels.
Since Mr.. Bishop took this subject
up, he has been in New York and hard
at work in the interest of peace.
Whatever he has learned, it is said,
will be communicated to the Amalga-
mated association officials in person,
as he has not written at any time since
he began his labors. Another report
about the hotels Saturday was that
President c. M. Schwab, of the United
States Steel corporation, would ar
rive in Pittsburgh Saturday evening.
His friends here know nothing of the
supposed visit.
No Move After Injunctions.
In reference to the report that the
steel company would apply for in
functions restraining the strikers
from interfering with the nonunion
men, A. Leo We'll, counsel for the
American Sheet Steel company and
American Tin Plate company, stated
that the issuing of an injunction was
not in contemplation at this time.
No move of this kind has been made
so far.

Have Not Yet Struck.

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 29.-The threat
ened strike at the National Rolling
mill and Boston Iron & Steel works of
the National Tube company at McKees-
port has not materialized yet. That
the men will come out Saturday is
denied upon the authority of Presi-
dent Holloway, of the McKeesport
lodge of the Amalgamated asso-
citation, who says they have no in
tention of striking at present, but 9TH
ers still claim that the closing of these
mills is likely to occur before the day
is over.
The McKeesport situation is consid-
cred grave and there is an ugly feel
ing among the men which promises
trouble if any active effort is made to
break the strike at this point. There
was little or no excitement Friday
night on the principal streets, but the
strikers were exceedingly vigilant,
and no man who looked like stranger
passed near the Devices Wood plant
without challenge. The announce
ment that the plant would be started
nonunion is laughed at by the strikers
and they say there are no other work
men in this country who can do the
necessary work on the fine grades of
iron turned out here, but they are TAX
ing no chances.

prairies. until on April 4 1855, having
lost his wife, he left the circuit on
which he had preached so long, and
commenced travelling missionary work
among the Indians of the various
tribes scattered in the West.
The irregular work involved a great
deal of travel over the prairies. The
drinking of SO much alkali water,
brought on Kidney Troubles, which ter
minated in Diabetes.
Finally, while laboring among the
Greek Indians at Wagner, Indian Ter
ritory, this noble man was stricken
down completely. A Chicago specialist
was summoned, and after a careful
examination, declared that there was
not the slightest chance of his recov-
cry. Besides the prescriptions of the
doctors, he tried many other medicines,
but all to no avail. He says:
Il had concluded that my days We're
drawing to a close, when | picked up
