New York, July Rehabilitation OF
the steel workers strike is already be-
ing talked of by the local representa-
tives of the American Federation OF
Labor, with which the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
is affiliated. The subject has been dis
cussed by the organizers of the Fedora
ton, and it was said that, though the
strikers in quitting work struck the
first blow, they will probably be ready
to abritrate the strike soon. 1t was
said that the National Civic Fedora
ton, which tried to settle the strike OF
the machinists but did not succeed,
stands ready to assist in abritrating
the strike of the steel workers il call
ed upon. Theodore Shaffer, president
of the amalgamated association, is a
member OF the arbitration board of the
Civic Federation, as are Samuel Com
pers and the leaders of number OF
other labor bodies.
