Modified Their Original Propoanls--tote
of Confidence IN shaffer.
"The strikers proposition: We desire
to preface our proposition by directing
attention to the fact that it Is modi-
fication Of that which was offered
originally At the last conference, as
at those preceding it, we required the
signature Of the scales for all the mills
owned and operated by the United
States Steel Corporation, while in the
proposition given below We ask that the
scales Ice signed for none but those
mills which are organized. and where
the men ceasing 10 work have signi-
fed their desire to be connected with
the Amalgamated Association. This
modification has been made because
the trust officials declared that we
wished to force men into the organiza-
tion against their VIII and desire. We
therefore asked that the scale he
signed for only those men who de-
sired It.
Now comes the proposition Of the
Amalgamated Association: We, the
members % ne executive board Of the
Amalgamated Association. hereby pre-
sent the following proposition as
reply to that received from lie United
States Steel Corporation: Sheet mills
All mills signed for last year with
the exception Of Salisbury and Scott
dale and with the addition of Me-
Keesport and Wellsville. Hoop mills
All mills now known to be organized,
viz: Youngstown, Girard, Greenyille,
Pomeroy, Warren. Lindsay, Me
Cutcheon. Clarke. Bar Mil, NIonessen.
Mingo. 10 inch. inch AMI hoop mills
70 the Cleveland Rolling Mil Co. Tin
mills-all mills except M0neSsen
Note-All other matters Of detail to
be left for settlement by conference
" We Furthermore wish to state that
our purpose in coming 10 New York
was not because we doubted our presi-
dent. T. J Shaffer and our Secretary,
John Williams who have our conf
dence and endorsement but in the
hope of obtaining a settlement of the
strike"
The meeting between the represen-
tatlves Of the strikers and the officials
Of the steel corporation took place at
the office of the United States Steel
Corporation President Schwab. of the

Many Difficult Problems to BE Met In
Their Construction.
''The making of decorative street
floats is a difficult trade" said New
Orleans scenic artist who has had
plenty of experience in the line he men
toned There are so many things
to be considered. For instance, a float
must look well both near and far. 1t
must be able to stand a dash of rain.
1t must be light enough to go over ans
kind of street and solid enough to re-
sist a gust of wind and, most impor-
tant of ALL it must be so constructed
that il will appear all right to folks in
upper windows.
"Some years ago a young designer
from the north made several small
models for tableau cars that charmed
everybody who looked at them. They
