New York, Aug. 4.-The steed strike
at an agreement. The proposals
made by j. h. Morgan and Chas. NJ.
Schwab, through President Shatfer
and Secretary Williams, Of the ANAL
gamated association, one week ago,
are still open. but the strikers repre-
senatives showed no inclipation TO ac-
cept them. The representatives of
the strikers left the conference, at
which they have failed to agree, with
the announcement that they would go
into secret session themselves later
in the afternoon. 1t was adm tied
that there might be action at that
meeting which would change the sit
uation.
At the conference Messrs. Nor
gan and Schwab insisted on the ac-
ceptance of the terms offered by them
on Saturday last. President Shatfer
and his associates demanded further
concessions in behalf of the union.
Neither side would give in, and the
conferees disagreed and parted, leav-
ing the situation practically UNI
changed.
President Schwab went from the
conference to the Office of j. PierpOnt
Morgan, where he was closeted for
time with Robert Bacon. He would
not discuss the conference or the
strike situation. Soon after the ad-
iournment of the conference, ID. ~.
Reid, of the American Tin Plate Co.,
was asked if Mr. Morgan had, as was
reported, delivered an ultimatum to
the strikers, and he replied that he
did not wish to say anything which
would put Mr.. Morgan in such a po-
sition. He said, however, that the
strikers executive committee had
until four o'clock to decide whether
they would accept the only PROPOSE
ton ever made to them by the United
States Steel corporation, which was
that the men should go back to work
at last years scale of wages. This,
and no other proposition, he haid, had
been or would be made to the .Amal-
| gamated executive committee.
| President Shaffer, at the close OF
the conference, went to the Stevens
house with the other Amalgamated
association delegates. He was asked
for statement as to what had ueen
accomplished at the conference, but
he declined to speak on the subject
further than to say: It's too serious
a matter. | must submit certain
matters-understa me, not PROPOSE
tions-to my men, before l car
speak"
He would not say whether or MOI
there was to be another conference
in the afternoon. President Shaffel
would not say anyumng as to the re
suit of the conference. He salu at
and his companions were going tC
confer privately and might issue {
statement later. He said, however
that he had no proposition to submit
to them.
