LAST PEACE MOVE FAILS.
Semi Official Report That the Settlement Is
Left to President Shaffer.

Pittsburg, Sept. 1.-THE last efforts
to settle the steel strike have failed.
The general executive board OF the
Amalgamated Association adjourned
this evening without date and without
accepting any of the peace propositions
that have come indirectly from the
United States Steel Corporation, or
making any counter propositions, ac-
cording to the official statement. The
semi-official report is that the propo-
sition secured for the Amalgamated
Association. through the Intervention
of the Representatives of the National
Civic Federation, was unsatisfactory,
and that the matter Of settling and ar
ranging was left for Mr.. Shaffer. The
board, in its sessions Of three days,
has been clamoring for settlement,
but satisfactory terms and means were
not at hand, and the sessions resolved
themselves into an informal discus
sion of the situation. At the close of
the meeting of the National executive
board this evening, President ShaffeI
declared he had no statement to
make, but subsequently said:
"The board has adjourned, and the
out-of-town members will probably
leave for their homes tonight. Nc
peace proposition has been received
and none made"
Still later he added that he nor nc
other member of the board would &c
to New York during the night to sub
NIT a peace proposition, saying hi
would be at headquarters as usual to
morrow.
/ The meeting of the board did no
adjourn in high good feeling, yet tn,
members of the board were averse II
making statements supplemental t.
that of President Shaffer. It was statet
j by some of the members of the boar,
that the adjournment had left matter
practically as they were before tn
meeting had been called, and that tn
strike must go on as before, leavini

representatives of the United State
Steel Corporation with President Sha1

THE MAN WHO SKATES.

He hath Joy in his heart and pride In his
BYE. and he also hath something coming

Yea, and he getteth II.
Verify" he sayeth unto himself. II an
n young AZ I used to Be-"
He telleth all who will listen Of the lays
when he was the champion skater on the
| creek at P~lunkville.
He speaketh of back rolls and figure eights
as IL he was the man who got them up.
Surely. he forgotteth that he hath q spot
on his head that hath long been a pay
streak for the maker OF hair tonic.
He forgetteth that he hath ch~arieyhorses
In his limbs and that he moveth as slow as
a messenger boy.
For he thinketh that he Is as young as
the old lady who writeth the testimonial
for the face bleach.
He taketh his skates and goeth forth un-
to the place where is the ice, and when he
seeth the skaters thereon he smileth unto
himself.
He chuckleth in the sleeve Of his garment.
He winketh with his eye.
And murmureth:
10. wait-evsn wait until I get the skates
upon my feet.
Surely. I will make this bunch Of slip
pers look like q stalled caravan.
"verily. I will give unto them the aspect
Of 30 shekels' worth Of also-rans.
For I will introduce some Of my oldtims
Plunktown twists and curves.
"And this ice Will look like unto 4 double
entry account.
For I will write my name thereon. and
I will spread the eagle and cut the figures
and do the artistic generally"
He fasteneth OIL his skates, saying
softly:
Most surely. I am too good for matinees.
for I shine best when I skate beneath the
dreaming moon"
Behold. he putteth on the skates and
riseth unto his feet.
And one foot goeth unto the east and the
other to the west.
While the ice ariseth and bumpeth the
man between the cervical vertebrae and the
handkerchief pocket.
Yet he ariseth and asksth who hath
pushed him.
And again he starteth out. and stitch
down upon his ear.
Yea. and the snow ssttsth up his
sleeve and down his neck
And the heavyweight skater falleth
upon him and breaket his cigars and his
New Years resolutions.
Surely. he sseth moro stars than the law
allows.
