Regarding treaty relations. he said:

meaning most favorable to the inter-

HISTORY OF STEEL STRIKE.
President Shaffer Issues Circular on
the Subject.

the Subject.
Pittsburg, Sept. 24.-The Associated
Press has secured an advance copy of
the statement by President Shaffer of
the Amalgamated ass ociation, giving
a history of the late strike of steel
and tin workers from it's inception
and the terms of the settlement. The
circular will be mailed to all districts
at once.
President Shaffer says in the cir
cular that the statements contained
therein are truthful account of the
occurrences leading up to and com
pelling a settlement of the strike. In
part, the circular is as follows:
When we had almost completed ar
rangem rents with the representatives
of the American Tin Plate company
for scale wages end conditions at the
conference held in Cleveland, the
question of signing for Monessen was
broached, and after discussion it was
agreed by both sides that the matter
was to be settled by the sheet steel
conference; if the sheet steel com
pany signed for ALL the American Tin
Plate company would do likewise
Thus, you perceive, the scale question
was not settled completely with the
last named company and could not be
until the other company had settled.
The tin plate people knew that we
had decided to enforce article XIX,
section 35, consequently the charge
that we broke out agreement must
rest upon the action of the sheet con.
ference.
Confident of Winning.
"Our strike advanced and we were
confident of winning until the newspa-
pers deliberately and moliciously pub
lished statements which were replete
with lies. Our people began to doubt
and upbraid; some who had been Of

RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT.
One to Be Negotiated Between Cuba
and United States.

One to Be Negotiated Between Cuba
and United States.
Washington, Sept "a General
Wood, who has left for Cuba, expects
to return to Washington in November
and to bring with him a deputation
from the Cuban constitutional con-
vention authorized to negotiate a reci-
procity agreement. Secretary Root
some time ago directed that prelim-
mary arrangements be made for for
mulating such an agreement and this
has been done. Assurances were
given by the late President Mckinley,
when the delegation from the Cuban
convention visited Washington, that
every effort would be made to bring
about closer relations between the
United States and Cuba.
About 100 articles produced in the
United States, the most important Of
which are cereals and machinery, will
enter Cuba at reduced rates if the
agreement be perfected.
Sugar and tobacco will be the prin-
cipal items of Cuban production to be
considered in the reciprocity agree
ment.
General Wood has been urging early
action in order that the present crop
OF Cuba may be benefited, and he
will return in November with the OBJ
ject of having the reciprocity agree
ment sent to congress as soon as it
assemblies in December. His deter
mination to act quickly was reached
after several conferences with Presi.
dent Roosevelt.
