THE STRIKE AT SAN FRANCISCO
San Francisco, Calf, Aug 3.-The
efforts of Mayor Phelan to effect ar
amicable settlement of the labor trou-
bles in this city have not yet been pro-
ductive of any definite results. 1t Is
generally asserted by the labor leaders
that if an agreement is not reached by
tonight or an exceedingly good reason
given for the continuance of truce, the
other unions will be called out.
NEGRO LABOR.
Pittsburg, Pa Aug. 3.-Fifty negroes
passed through Pittsburg this morn
ing presumably to work in the steel
mills of Wellsville or Newburgh.
THE RESULT OF THE CONFER
ENCE.
New York, Aug. 3.-The steel strike
conference held here today failed to ar
rive at an agreement. The proposals
made by J. p. Morgan and Charles
Gchwab through President Shaffer and
Secretary Williams of the Amalgama-
ted association, a week ago are still
open, but the strikers representatives
showed no inclination to accept them.
The representatives of the strikers left
the conference with the announcemnt
that they would go in secret session
themselves later in the afternoon. 1t
was admitted that there might be ac-
ton taken at that meeting which
would change the situation.
At the conference this morning
Messrs. Morgan and Schwab insisted
upon an acceptance of the terms Offer
ed by them on Saturday last. Presi-
dent Shaffer and his associates deman-
ded further concessions in behalf of the
union. Neither side would give in and
the conferees parted, leaving the situa-
tion practically unchanged. President
Schwab went from the conference to
the office of J. P. Morgan where he was
closeted for time with Robert Bacon.
He would not discuss the conference or
the strike situation. President Shaffer
at the close of the conference went to
the Stevens house with the other ANAL
gamated association delegates. He was
been accomplished at the conference,
but declined to speak on the subject,
further than to say: TITS too serious a
matter. I must submit certain mat
ters-understand me, not propositions
to my men before can speak," He
would not say whether there was to be
another conference this afternoon.
After the labor men went into ses-
sion at the Stevens house, the statement
was given out by one of their number,
that the proposition made by the United
States Steel corporation would not be
accepted and there would be no further
conference between that corporation
and the Amalgamated association un-
less asked for by the former.
NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
New York, Aug. 3.-The steel strike
conference failed to reach an agreement
and the negotiations are off.
A BRAVE WOMAN.
Pittsbur, Pa, Aug. "A Wellsville
O., dispatch says: About o'clock this
morning one hundred strikers went to
the house of mill worker named Har-
ry Phillips, whose wife boards three
men who came here a few days ago to
work at the mill. The strikers pelted
the house with stones, breaking nearly
all the windows. Several shots were
fired, but no one was hurt. Mrs. Phil
lips, armed with gun, went out in the
crowd of strikers and dared them to
touch her. She then took the boarders
including her husband, to the mill
walking beside them with loaded re-
volver in her hand. She got the four
men inside the mill and then put the
mob, as she calls them, to rout.
AN ULTIMATUM.
New York, Aug. 3.-After the ad-
journment of the conference President
Reid, Of the American Tin Plate COM
pany, was quoted as saying that the
executive board of the Ama1gamated-
association had unfit 4 o'clock this af-
ternoon to accept the only proposition
made them by j. P. Morgan, to return
to work at the last years scale.
THE SITUATION.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 3.-The removal
of the seat of negotiations to end the
steel strike, from this city to New
