about the last conference between the
strikers and the steel trust and Is
among the most grati1ied men over the
results that are at least promised.
One OF the most apparent facts in the
status OF the strike to-day was the de-
termination of the strikers to lose no
ground in their struggle while peace ne
gotiations are being conducted. 1t IVES
explained that this plan was absolutely
necessary in order that the position Of
the Amalgamated Association should
be strong when the settlement takes
place. Most OF the officials of the Anal
gamated Association expressed conf
dence that the strike is near an ED.
News received from all points where
the strike is in progress to-day was of
a reassuring nature. The strikers oiaim
10 have more than held their ground
since the strike began. and since the
ertning OF the campaign, they claim
TO have increased their membership in
ckeesport alone TO over 1000 men.
Accession to the ranks of the Anal
gamated Association have also been
made in Wellsville. Pittsburg. Allie
gheny. Mingo Junction, and Benwood,
w. Va, where one of the National Tube
tompany's mills is operated. With the
American Steel Hoop Company, the
change has been one OF the most sweep
ing. Before the strike practically
All Hut Two of the Mills
were non-union. At this time all but
one OF the mills of this company are
UNION and are idle from the strike. The
situation of the American Tin Plate
Company is well understood All of the
mills OF that company are working I'M
der union rules excepting the Monessen
mill. The story told of this mill is
that under the agreement made at the
time IL was secured by the trust, the
management of the plant was to be left
In the hands of the former officials for
period OF five years. This was done
in order to prove the value of the patent
methods for producing tin plates there.
This plant is still running as non-union,
and while thirty-six men have been dis
charged from the plant for embracing
union principles, Manager Percy Dom
ner claims that the plant Is running full
and has not been affected by the strike
In the least The mill employs over
500 men in all departments and is one
OF the best producers In the American
Tin Plate Company's group of mills
A telegram from Wellsville tonight
says:
Seven men went to work to-day, who
were members of the Wellsville lodge
of the Amalgamated Association, max
.rg ii possible for the American Sheet
Steel Company to put on another crew
on mill No. 4. This is the only change
in the strike situation here to-day and
things have been very quiet.
The report from Youngstown, o.,
says:
John f. Ward, vice president, and
Elias jenkins. trustees of the Amalga-
mated Association, were summoned TO
Pittsburg to-day for conference with
President Shaffer. So certain are the
officials here that the strike will be
settled within day or SO. that the
fires in two gas furnaces OF the finish
ing mill of the American Steel Hoop
Company, have been lighted. 1t is be-
lieved that the mills will be started by

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 29.-Every-
body is on the qui vive tonight in
strike circles and the coming confer
ence of the leaders of the two contend
ing forces Is looked forward to with
mingled hope and fears. Hope, howev-
or. predominates and peace is comb
IDENTIFY expected by the majority of those
interested.
THE executive committee OF the
Amalgamated Association will meet in
the headquarters Of the organization at
u o'clock tomorrow morning or as
soon thereafter as possible and take
up the propositions OF the United
States Steel Corporation for settle
ment of the steel workers strike.
This statement was made to-day by
Secretary Williams, OF the Amalgamat-
ed Association. There was no change
In the position of the two contestants
to-day. Both sides held firmly to the
plan of watching each other.
The officials of the Wood mill, or the
American Sheet Steel Company, made
no attempt to start the plant and indl-
cations pointed to their remaining In
active until the strike negotiations are
decided one way or the other.
The first report OF the day that the
American Tin Plate Company was
making an effort TO start the Demmler
plant with non-union men and that
one set of rolls was being operated,
was afterward explained as being ru-
NOR that started from the fact that the
company had some men at work re-
pairing the plant, with the expectation
that the strike will be settled shortly.
This Was n Busy Day
for President Shaffer and the exeeu-
tive officials of the Amalgamated Asso-
cation. There was a steady stream OF
callers from early in the morning and
Vulnerable conferences bearing on
the proposed settlement of the strike.
President Shaffer was firm in his de-
termination not to talk on the strike
situation until afer the meeting to-
morrow or until a decision had been
reached by the executive committee
concerning the propositions of the L.
+. Steel Corporation.
1t was intimated, however, that there
vas very strong likelihood that the
olmmittee would not adjourn to-mor-
Gfacturers and formally discussed the
settlement of the strike. IL this should
be the case. actual peace is possible in
short time. Whatever points are TO
ne discussed are still known only TO
the officials of the association and the
corporation.
Col. G. Watson French and J. F. Tay-
Tor, officials of the Republic Iron and
steel Company, had a long conference
with President Shaffer, but the object
OF their call was not made public. 1t
was said, however, that it had no con-
nection with the strike settlement, but
rather to the affairs of the Youngs-
town company. 1t was said that
