due to strong otuSide influences Wnlcn
have been brought to bear on the situa-
tion and it is intimated that Senator
Mark A. Hanna is one of these lnilu-
ences. His interview published today in
favor of an immediate settlement caused
much comment here. 1t is stated that
the conference will take place in Pitts
burg not later than Wednesday next
and that both sides are willing to yield
something il settlement can be reached.
The American Steel Sheet Company
continues to operate its six non-union
works, including the mammoth works at
Nandegrift, though the Amalgamated
Association is making efforts to cripple
these plants by bringing out some Of the
skilled workers. Since yesterday about
forty head sheet rollers from the various
mills where the strike is on, have been
in Pittsburg and the vicinity trying to
induce some of the highly skilled men
employed in the nOn-union mills of the
trust to quit. Tomorrow delegations Of
strikers will visit number of them ut
their homes in the surrounding towns
and will try to bring them in line for
the strike.
The association has no organization at
the non-unon mills, in spite Of their
poh''t w viz ''hth' 40 "to pip''h ny
the fact that the trust was able to con
tnue its work at their plants without
interruption.
MANY MILLS AT WORK.
The Hoop Trust is also able to continue
operating couple OF its works, includ-
ling the painter works in Pittsburg, and
| for the past few days emissaries of the
union have been mt work trying to stir
up the men in the two Pittsburg plants
of the trust. The plan is to attempt to
bring ont some of the men by Monday
morning. and by such a showing to i'm
press the heads of the corporation that
| the strike is growing and that they had
better settle. The talk Of general
strike of all union men at the corpora
tion's mills has stopped in the past few
days and it does not vet seem likely that
| any such radical action will he taken.
| AS to the possible calling of general
strike, an official OF the union tonight
stated that full power was in the hands
of President Shaffer to do so. but that il
would be done only as last resort. ow-
ing to the fact that the association has
had no direct dealing with the United
States Steel Corporation, but only with
the auxiliary corporations.
| Some assessments have begun to come
N to help the strikers. but the amount
received thus far has been small and il
is probable that for the next few weeks
ut least. should the strike continue, the
unions treasury will have to he drawn
upon to help strikers in need. This the
officials do not want to do. as they wish
to save the treasury to care for such
men in the non-union mills as they may
he able to persuade to come out. This
IS one of the inducements being offered
them.
