fact that the terms offered by the
United States Steel Corporation for a
settlement of the steel workers striks
were limited to 6 p. m. yesterday, the
executive board of the Amalgamated
Association. after remaining in session
all of yesterday adjourned until 10 a.
m. today without reaching a definite
decision. The peace movement is re-
garded as practically dead. In the
offices of the Carnegie building it was
stated that the situation was simple.
The Amalgamated Association had re-
Jccted the terms offered by President
Schwab, and negotiations had termin-
ated. The officials of the constituent
companies had been instructed to start
up all of the plants just as soon as
possible, and with non-union men.
Every move made by mill officials
today indicated that the peace negotia-
tiOns were all off. The Demmler plant
at McKeeSpOrt was started with near
" 100 men. Five hundred more men
were at work at the National Tube
cOmpany's plant at McKeesport this
morning. making 1000 men now in the
plant. A large number of others ap-
piled for work. but they were turned
back because the mill was not in shape
to take any more men on.
