At the headquarters OF the operators
il was claimed that the demand Of the

1t is known that there is much fric-

STEEL KINGS WILL FIGHT
STRIKERS TO BITTER End
Morgan and SChWab Have Conference in New York
and Discuss the Trouble.
Workers Are Satisfied With Progress Made and Are Con-
fdent They Will Win

New York. July 16.-At the close of
the day today a Tepresentativ of one
Of the biggest interests in the United
States Steel corporation authorized the
statement that no conference concern
ing the steel strike had taken place
during the day and that none is likely
to take place until the AmaIgamated
association recedes from its present at
utude- The additional statement is
made that on this point there can be
no compromise, and that the heads of
the constituent companies viii not
unionize such mills as have up to this
time employed non-uniOn men.
J. Plerpont Morgan would not be
quoted al ali about the strike nor
would any of his partners. In fact, all
other officers of the United States Steel
corporation were most retiCent on the
subject, so much so. that those who
talked relative to it on Monday refused
even TO see newsDa per reporters today.
Charles II. SChwab, president of the
corporation is reported to have held
long conference with Mr.. Morgan in
the latter's office a midday. When
the question whether an attempt would
at once be made 20 start the closed
mills with nOn-uniOu labor was sent in
to Mr.. Schwab. he sent back word that
ne was too busy to be interviewed.
The telegraph department of the
United States Steel corporation has di-
rect wires running TO Pittsburg. These
wires were kept busy all day, and thus
the officials we're kept informed of any
developments if any occurred
The report from Pittsburg that there
would be a conference which would re-
suit in some offer TO the union men,
was not borne out by the days events.
Yet another rUmor Of the day was that
officers of the steel corporation had ar
ranged for a force of detectives from
a well known agency for safeguard
ing the mills should an effort be made
at them TO resume business. The local
superintendent of the agency refused
TO discuss this report in any manner.
