EACEMAKERS AT WORK
Ralph Easley and Others Leave
Pittsburg For the East.

New York, Aug. 26.-No proposition
looking to a settlement of the steel
strike has been submitted today to the
United States Steel corporation as a
>result of the conferences at Pittsburg
last week of members of the Amalga-
mated association, industrial commits
sion, civic federation, and labor leaders.
AS far as can be ascertained, none of
the participants in the conference had
come to New York.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug 26--Develop-
ments in the steel strike were meagre
this morning. Probable renewal Of
peace negotiations by disinterested par
ties was again being discussed, but
nothing definite could be learned. Hen
ry NJ. White of the aGrment Makers Of
America and Ralph NJ. Easley of the
National Civic Federation, who took
part in the conference in this city last
week, left for the east last night and It
is reported that they went to New
York to make another attempt to have
negotiations between the cOntending
parties reopened. President Shaffer.
however, said today that he knew moth
ing of the proposed venture, and his
association had authorized no new
steps for peace.
The combine, it is said, intends to
make aggressive attempts to start more
plants this week. They We're success
full in putting two more mills in opera
IlOl at Ealnl6fS L0iS morning ana now
have four mills, with force of 400
men at work. The mills started today
were No. 1 bar mill and No. Z cotton
tie mill. The management say that the
work being turned out is up to the
standard and is being placed on the
market.
one of the officials announced today
that he had three more crews engaged,
but that they would not go to work I'M
til all the n en- necessary to operate the
six mills had been secured, and then
the plant would run at night He said
he was almost certain the entire works
would be running at night before the
end of this week. More men We're taken
into the Star plant of the American
Tin Plate company and at the Lind
say & McCutcheon works of the steel
hoop company. These mills. the COM
bine officials, say, they expect to have
in full operation before Saturday. The
strike managers assert that the re-
sumption of these plants in full will be
an impossibility, and say the claims
of the steel people are not borne out
by the facts. They say that they scored
a victory over the management of the
Star mills by preventing seven men
from entering the plant, and that the
plant is not running at all this morn
ing.
Vice President Pierce of the Anal
gam ated association said there were
less men working in the local mills this
morning than for over week. Presi-
QenI OHaIIeT udo AedTO nOIhlnS from
Chicago up to noon Mr. Tighe, he
said, did not go out there to get the
men to strike. but just to attend the
meeting.
Advices from McKeesport are to the
effect that no attempt was made to
start the Demmler works last night
The furnaces were fired and the plant
lighted, but no men appeared Ten
regular policemen and a. large force of
pickets guarded the mill all night. but
there was no disorder. The situation at
all points is reported quiet, and no
trouble is expected.

He told his wife to get into the boat and
al his command cut the tow line running
