In Some Way, Said Shaffer, Of
the Amalgamated Assoc
iation,
IN REGARD TO WAGE DISPUTE.
According to Some Members of the
Conference, at Pttsburg, the Situa-
ton Was the Same Yesterday After
noon as When Negotiations Began.

Pittsaurg, July 1S.-The wage con-
ference over the trouble between the
Amalgamated association and Amerl'
can Sheet Steel company and Ameri-
can Steel Hoop company, which had
been in session in the Hotel Lincoln,
adjourned yesterday afternoon about
4.40 O'Clock without coming to an
agreement. Another meeting was to
begin at 10 o'clock this morning, and
the discussion was to be taken up
again on the same lines as yesterday.
In connection with this matter Presi-
dent Shaffer made the following sig
nificant statement last night:
The conference must come to an
end today This dispute must be set
tied one way or the other. Ii no agree
rnent is reached by tonight the gen
eral strike that was ordered for last
Monday and postponed for one week
at the request of the manufacturers
will proceed. am still hoping for q
settlement, however"
The time limit had not been set for
the conference when the adjournment
took place yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Shaffer said that he intended to make
his statement to the manufacturers
this morning when the session open
ed. He regarded further delay as
useless and harmful for both sides.
The issue has to be met, he said, and
there Is no use in lodging it. If the
manufacturers mean to settle, he as
serted, they have it in their power to
make some compromise that will be
acceptable to the Amalgamated as
sociation, but thus far they have not
made any. The situation, according
70 the members Of the conference, was
The same at the close of the meet
ing yesterday afternoon as it was at
he opening. The questions were not
settled and no offer had been made
toward a settlement

APPROPRIATIONS TO BE CUT.
Gov. Stone Says He will Cut Off About
$2,25o,ooo.

Harrisburg, July 18.-Governor
Stone acted upon no bills Friday and
will probably pass upon none before
Monday. He has disposed of nearly
all the general bills, with the excep.
ton of the judicial apportionment and
capitol bills. From what can be
learned the appropriations to new
hospitals and institutions not now re-
ceiving state aid will be vetoed.
The governor declines to give any
definite information with regard to
his decision on any of the appropria-
ton bills in advance of his official
action. He says, however, that about
$2,250000 will be Topped off Of them
to keep within the estimated state
revenues. Several delegations called
upon the governor Friday In behalf Of
the appropriation bills for the state
insane hospitals. The indications are
that heavy cut will be made in the
items in those bills for new build
ings.

The companies have agreed TO pay the
city five per cent of the net earnings
during the time that the franchises
are operative. This amount is not
excessive but it will bring In quite
nice little revenue for the city.
1T may be that something OF the
same kind could be done here without

reaching Morgantown. The boats
came to the wharf to-day and dis
charged large crowds of happy people
who had come up to take in the sights
Of the town and to enjoy the day on

During this year it is expected by
river men that the largest trade ever
known by the excursion boats will be
experienced. When it is remembered
that ia former years as many as 25,-
900 people have been in Morgantown
during one season it will be seen that
there is good time coming for our
people. Mot all of these come by
boat it is true but large part of
them do so,
Last year the locks were out OF
Whack and they prevented the boats
from running up or going down. Not
all the pleasure and profit comes from
Incoming boats but many of the
organizations Of town enjoy getting out
for ride onl the beautiful Monon
