AMALGAMATED ADVISORY BOARD
DISPOSED TO TIE UP ALL
TRUST PLANTS.
DELAY IN TAKING ACTION
General Manager Smith and Secretary
Jerrett Of the Steel Company In.
vted to Give Their Views Of the
Situation and the Latter Does So.
Concessions Must Be Made by Both
Sides to Prevent Serious Trouble.

Pittsburg, April 1S.-The meeting
OF the national advisory board and
vice presidents of the Amalgamated
Association OF Iron and Steel Work
ers, called for 10 o'clock by President
Shaffer, did not begin until nearly IL
O'Clock. There was a full attendance
OF the national officers and trustees
who make up the board and among
the vice presidents present were Dav-
ID Recs OF Piusburg. First district;
Walter Larkin OF Martins Ferry. O.,
Second dist.ict. Charles H. Davis of
Newport. Ky. Third district. and
Glen Jarvis OF Anderson. Ind, Fifth
district
The meeting was held at the nation
oil headquarters on Fourth avenue in
this city and while large number of
prominent amalgamate men and sew
| eral leaders OF the strike were at the
headquarters. no one was admitted to
the meeting room but the members of
the board and the vice presidents.
Previous to the meeting canvass of
the members developed strong in
dividual disposition to grant Presi-
dent Shaffer the power to call out the
employees of the other mills, although
no one would venture TO predict what
the decision of the board would be.
General Manager Smith and Secre-
tary John Jarrett Of the American
Sheet Steel company We're invited to
be present. bnt Mr.. Smith did not at
tend. Secretary Jarrett was on hand
and consumed some time in placing
| before the members of the Amalga-
| mated association the position his
company has taken in the fight now
on. President Shaffer stated that he
would. if possible. go TO Mekeesport
after the meeting to advise the men
now on strike and counsel them 70 be
mild in their acts.
No action had been taken by the
| board up to 80. 1t was stated that
they were waiting on one of the vice
presidents who had not arrived but
| was expected during the afternoon.
1t was the general impression that
strike would be ordered. This seemed
assured unless concessions are made
on both sides. The combine. ii is
| said will be asked to vacate the posi-
| tion it has taken in the matter. or
else the strike will be declared.
Around the Amalgamated headquar-
| tiers a general air Of expectancy pre-
| vailed Men of all crafts were drop
ping in at all times, eagerly inqurng
| as to what the prospects for
strike were. They seem to realize
that once the struggle is preciptated
its effects must. of necessity. be far
reaching to all concerned.

New York, April 18.-Frank B.

Quartered until the end Of the present
week, when he goes to Washington to
report to the state department and
President Mckinley. He gives posi-
tive disclaimer to the authorship OF
the San Juan interviews in which ne
was made to say some severely crit
ical things about President Castro,
and AYERS that an injustice has been
done him in this respect. To an AS
sociated Press reporter who met him
at quarantine Mr.. Loomis said:

ant things that have been attributed
to me about President Castro during
my stay at San Juan or anywhere else.

Our new industry in connection with
the creamery, the making of dried curd,
is attracting considerable attention.
Farmers now have opportunity for
disposing of their whole milk at home
without shipping it away. G. B.
Pierce received for his whole milk,
quart for quart, delivered in February,
nearly as much on the shipping price,
and no extra cans, little carriage and
no delay in payment. The curd was
precipitated by the use of rennet, the
same as in cheese making. The whey
drained off and the curd dried in a
"curd machine" heated by steam. Mr.

THE CONDITION OF HATING.
a revival in the hat trade is quite
noticeable this week. TrimmerS and
binders have been changing shops the
past few days more than usual. Fac
tories that get their orders few days
in advance and want more help are
sure to draw on their neighbours force
of workmen. AS a rule the greater
part of the working people never
change shops and generally do better
in the long run to stay by the old en-
ployer. A new style of hat called the
"Duke' is attracting considera BILE no
tice at the present time. There is a
marked change in the shape of the
block which is a taper crown, shape
square and nearly fiat top, curl one
quarter round high set brim: The hat
is nobby style for young dudes and
may have big run for Easter trade.
The block takes large body and most
of the factories will have to get up the
hat all through, which will keep all de-
partments of the trade busy for a
time.
