PLAN TO END STRIKE
Shaffer Submits Peace Proposition to
Amalgamated Board.

Pittsburg, Aug. 2S.-Probable peace
for the striking steel workers within
ten days was the interesting topic In
strike circles here during the day.
The peace proposition sent out by
President Shaffer to the members OF
the executive board of the Amalgamat
ed association for their approval pre-
vious to presentation to the United
States Steel corporation by the repre-
sentatives of the National Civic feder-
alton lends color to the peace rumors,
and the provisions of the plan are being
discussed by the strikers at Lindsay
4 McCutcheon's works.
The proposition provides for pro-
visional scale not to be signed for this
plant, leaving recognition of the union
open. The men state that they are
prepared to return to work at once
under these conditions. They state that
all they would require would be that
the Amalgamated scale be paid and
that union men be allowed perfect lib
erty and no discrimination.
Notwithstanding the reports that all
preparations had been made, the tiI
plate mill at Demmler has not resumed
| There was much excitement In the vi
cinity of the plant all night, and sew
eral hundred strikers guarded the ap
proaches to the property. but no ne"
men appeared, and there was not the
slightest disorder.
! A Report Denied by Strikers.
1t was reported that 200 machinists
and helpers went back to work at th'
works of the National Tube company
but this is denied by the strikers, wht
say that no others are in the mill thai
the hundred or SO who have been max
ing repairs for some time.
The Star Tin Plate plant in this city
was running three turns during thu
day. This was made possible with th'
16 extra men taken into the works a
night. Superintendent Arthur Pipe
was extremely optimistic, and statet
that so far as the Star plant was con
cerned the strike was practically
thing of the past. He said they nov
had so skilled men at work, and be
fore the end of the week he expecte.
to have four mills in full operation.
There were many strikers pickets
mill workers and others about tn
works, but everything was quiet. Thre
regular policemen, as well as severa
special guards of the company, wer
present to preserve order.
The strikers claim that the state
ments of the superintendents are ia
from being exact, and that there ar
not nearly so many skilled workmen i
the plant as the management woul
have the public believe.
