NOTHING IS GIVEN OUT
A Settlement is Now Believed to Be in
Sight.
MORGAN AND SCHWAB PUMPED IN VAIN
In Financial Circles Il is Thought That The
Prosp, Give Agreement win Dispose
Finally of all the Serious
Questions at Issue.
lBy the Associated Press.l

New York, July 27.-Formal negotia-
tions for settlement of the great steel
strike were opened here today at con-
ference between President Shaffer and
Secretary Williams of the Amalgamated
Association, and j. Pierpont Morgan, and
a group of his associates of the United
States Steel corporation.
The conference and the movements of
the conferees we're secret and no inti-
nation of the result of the deliberations
has come from any one in authority. 1t
is believed, however, that substantial
progress toward an agreement was made
and that formal announcement Of the
compact for peace will come within few
days
There has been much speculation as to
the terms of peace, but much of it has
been pure conjecture. 1t was said that
the strike would be. called off and that
there would be a resumption of the nego-
tiations of general labor questions at the
point where they were broken off at the
Pittsburg conferences In financial cir
cles, however, the opinion was general
that the prospective agreement would go
further than that oand in itself dispose
of the serious questions at issue.
The conference of today resulted from
several days of preliminary discussions
all of which was kept secret A repre-
sentative of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion was here on Friday, and was given a
lengthy interview by an official OF one
of the companies forming the United
States Steel corporation. The confer
ence of today is believed to have been
practically arranged at that time.
Shaffer and Williams slipped quietly
out of Pittsburg and were in New York
several hours before a hint of their pres
ence reached the public Mr.. Morgan and
President Schwab. of the United Sthates
Steel corporation met first at the office
of the former and were closeted for some
time. The meeting with the labor lead
ers followed. The names of those who
participated in the meeting aside from
the leaders on either side and the place
at which the conferees met were kept
from the public.
Mr. Morgan was seen after the meet
ing, but would say nothing beyond deny
ing that he had any appointment with
President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated
Association President Schwab was also
seen, but as he declined to make any
statement whatever, he would neither
admit nor deny that there had been
conference.

GERMANY's NEW TARIFF.
Cotton Free Machinery Hit Hard. Berlin
Thinks Schedules Monstrous.
(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated PreSS.)
Berlin, July 26.-The Reichzanzeiger to-
day publishes a draft of the new customs
tariff law and the customs rates. The
duty on maize is four marks per metric
hundred weight, without minimum; rice
is four marks per metric hundredweight.
Cotton is free Cotton seed oil, in casks
will pay 1919 and not IN casks 20 marks
per cwt. Raw tobacco will pay IS marks
per cwt. as will the stems of raw to-
bacco. Stemmed tobacco leaves and
chewing tobacco will pay 1S0 marks per
cwt. Cigars and cigarettes will pay 27O
marks.
Opinion in Berlin commercial circles is
that the agricultural chedules are mon
strous, involving great burden for Ger
many's industrial and commercial classes,
together with serious injury to foreign
trade tariff wars and hindrances to
commercial treaties.
Americans here express keen disappoint-
ment at the heavy increases in machin-
cry The present duties, ranging from
21a to s marks per cwt., are in many
cases more than doubled. In the case
of saws they are quadrupled. American
woods are also hard hit

Responsible For Four Of

Yesterdays tussle between the Red
Birds and Lobsters reminded one of a
procession. Fifteen players crossed the
plate
OF these fifteen there were ten Red
Birds and five Lobsters, and the Birds
sometimes came home in coveys.
The esteemed Professor Willig was on
the sacrifical altar, and he was so badly
pounded by the Birds taht after a sea-
son of unhappiness he gazed entreating
ly at Tacks Allen when with two men
on the second and third bags and none
out in the fourth inning Stanley ap-
peared at the bat. ITacks came to the
rescue, but proved gold brick in that
inning as both men scored.
Eddie Person kept the visitors guessing
and flor five innings only yielded two hits
In the shank of the game he lightened up
as thea Raleigh Club was so fafr ahead
the game had become tiresome and the
Red Birds were weary with running.
King Kelly was the star feature of
the game. After retiring the Lobsters in
the third inning by two brilliant run
ming catches of siies in the right he came
to he bat and swatted the ball into the
race trac,s in left for home run and if
there had been five bases would have
had time to have run them all.
The truth of the matter is that the
Wilmington Club were simply not in it
at all. The runs that came their way
were rather gifts and the Raleigh team
outplayed them at every point.
Umpire Meade did his "dooty as he
seed it, but again fell down on some of
the decisions he made, and these cut into
each team 1t is earnestly hoped shat
ne will get his rudder straight for next
weeks game when the Tar Babies come.
The performance which lasted nearly
two hours was witnessed by about 400
people and was opened up by Clayton, of
Wilmington, who hit in right. Devlin
hunted but Atz threw wild to Phillips,
and Clayton reached third with DevliD
on second. Sebring flew to Kelly, who
made a magnificent throw home in time
to cut off Clayton, but Bill d. let the
ball get away from him. and Devln was
on third. Warren was out from Powers
to Phillips, but Devlin scored after which
McGinnis flew to Hennegar.
In Raleighs half Powers walked, Atz
got to first on Clayton's tumble and
Powers reached third. Atz played to-
wards second with Stanley up and Pow

that Atz was out at second. Stanley
walked. Sorber flew out to third and Stan
