Pittsburg, Pa, Aug 29,-The strike Sit
uation continues quiet and devoid OF
interesting features. While the strik-
ers still express satisfaction with the
prevailing conditions the steel corpora
ton is slowly but steadily increasing its
forces at the plants already In operation
and is preparing to open more mills
With this end in view the American Tin
Plate company is said to have made lis
Star plant In this city q school of In
struction. Skilled men in charge are
instructing other men in the mysteries
OF tin plate making. When the noyices
show sufficient degree Of proficiency
they are TO be sent TO other plants,
The Amalgamated officials claim that
the Star plant Is so small that II would
take many years TO turn out enough
men there TO work the other plants.
President Shaffer said today there
was no truth in the report that the
Amalgamated association was making
efforts TO effect settlement OF the
strike by trying 10 force the U. 5. steel
corporation into arbitration through the
courts and that Hon. John X. Byrne. a
small stockholder and former labor
leader had been requested TO join In
petition asking for the appointment OF
a board. This statement was also de-
MED by Mr. Byrne In a dispatch 10 the
Associated Press this morning.
The report that the Amalgamated
lodges were voting on peace PROPOSE
ton was also denied by Mr.. shaffer
who said
There has been no vote Of any kind
taken by US. The lodges may have
taken votes on their own account, but
none has been ordered since the strike
started and no vote has been taken by
the executive board

Referring to the telegram from New
York quoting officials of the U. ;. steer
corporation rs reiterating their state
ments that the Amalgamated assoeia-
ton would not be recognized until the
latter was incorporated, Mr.. Shaffer
said;
"The Amalgamated association Is not

reason for this save that there Is no law
providing for such Incorporation. Other
