THIRD MONTH Of STRIKE.
The Steel Workers Struggle Seems
to Have Settled Down to
Question Of Endurance.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM THE ADVANTAGE
fare May Soon End, Notwithstand-
ing Negotiations for 81 Settlement
Have Thus Far Fai1ed-Millo Or
dered to Resume Work.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 3.-The strike
began it's third month Monday with
few Indications of early peace. It
durance, with both sides making
claims of advantages gained. Presi-
dent Burns is working on his peace
project and is hopeful that his efforts
will yet be successful. He expects to
lear from President Schwab soon in
reference to the new plan said to
have been submitted to him on Satur-
day.
More Men Secured.
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 4.-Develop-
ments in the steel strike show de-
cided gains for the manufacturers.
The accession of 80 skilled men to
the Star plant, the increased produc-
ton at the Painter and the Lindsay
and McCutcheon mills, the DETECTION
chinists and pipe cutters at the Con-
tinental tube works and so at the
Pennsylvania tube works, the impor-
tation of - men to the Monessen
steel hoop mill and the installation
of three mills on night turn at the
Clark mill all point to an early re-
sumption all along the line as viewed
by the steel officials.
Terms Rejected.
New York, Sept. 5.-President
Schwab, Of the United States Steel
corpora ton, was in conference for
six hours yesterday with leaders Of
union labor discussing the strike of
the steel workers, but at the close
of the conference the situation was
unchanged. One Of the steel officials
made this brief statements:
Nothing was accomplished by the con-
ference. The strike is in just the same po-
sition as it was before the conference was
held. Future action is for the strikers. I
do not know Of anything that is to be done.
The steel corporation has restated its po-
siton and the men themselves must elect
what they will do
Negotiations Are OF
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 6.-Negotia-
tions for the settlement of the great
steel strike are at an end and the re-
suit is a prospect for more bitter
war than has yet been waged. Presi-
dent Schwab's terms as offered on
behalf of the United States Steel cor
poration were unsatisfactory to the
officials of the Amalgamated associa-
ton. A telegram to that effect was
sent to-day to New L ork with coun-
ter proposition from the labor asso-
citation.
Terms Unsatisfactory.
In reply to the Amalgamated asso-
ciation's offer dispatch was re-
ceived that the terms were unsatis-
factory. News came later to the eff
.ect that President Schwab had or
dered all the union mills to be start
ed at once in defiance of anything the
Amalgamated men might attempt.
This was the final word that renewed
the war, which early in the night had
been believed to be over.
Peace Movement Dead.
Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. I'm spite of
the fact that the terms offered by the
United States Steel corporation for a
settlement of the steel workers strike
were limited to six o'clock last nj ght,
the executive board of the Amalga
mated association, after remaining in
session all of Friday, adjourned until
ten O'Clock this morning without
reaching definite decision. The peace
movement is regarded as practically
dead.
Regret Expressed.
