Mr. Mitchell. while disclaiming that

Statement Made by Mitchell.
"When all negotiations between the
Amalgamated association and the
United States Steel corporation in re-
gard to the strike were broken off
the committee of Cancellation of the
National Civic federation endeavored
to bring the representatives of both
interests together or to act as media
tors between them.
sWe held conferences with the adj
visory board of the AmaIgamated as.
ISOLATION at Pittsburg and obtained
propositions from it with authority to
submit the same to the United States
Steel corporation. These propositions
we submitted to the company at yes
terday's "wednesday conference.
The company rejected the proposition.
We then discussed the situation at
length with Mr.. Schwab and his col.
leagues and obtained from them the
conditions upon which they would
agree to settle the strike, these terms
to hold good until this Thursday
evening.
we submitted these terms to Mr..
Shaffer and his colleagues. We were
advised by the representatives of the
Amalgamated association this (Thurs-
day. afternoon that there was not sui
flcient time to consider the PROPOSE
ton; that the officers at Pittsburg
had no authority to accept or decline
that the advisory board is summoned
to meet tomorrow (F'riday).
1.-The officers of the Amalgamated
| association expressed their conviction
| to us that the proposition will not be
| approved. We entertain the hope
that an amieable settlement of this
conflict will yet be reached"

osition made by Mr.. Schwab, or to
| state whether the time limit set for

| ton has been extended.
| When asked whether the concilia
| ton committee would be in session
! today he could say nothing more, nor
would he say whether there would be
any further conference with Mr.
| Schwab. When asked whether he
would leave town last night he said
he thought it was too late to get Q
| train. Mr.. Mitchell declined TO say
whether or not his work here was
ended. None of the other members
OF the committee would talk.
1t was learned late last night that
at the request of the Cancellation com
mittee Mr.. Schwab agreed YESTERDAY
to extend the time for the acceptance
OF his offer to this evening.
| Late last night Mr.. Mitchell started
for Hazleton, Pa, on business of the
United Mine Workers.
Advisory Board to Meet Today.
A report from Pittsburg that Mr.
Shaffer and Mr.. Williams were sup
posed to have started for New YORK
was discredited by the positive in
formation that the advisory board OF
the Amalgamated association will
meet in Pittsburg today to consider
| MI. Schwab's proposition. This of
Ter, 1t was understood, differs from
MIR. Morsan's proposition only in thai
It stipulates that the mills which the
United States Steel corporation haC
succeeded in opening as non-unior
mills hould remain non-union thf
company being unwilling to abrogatt
the contracts which it has made with
the men who are now at work in these
mills.
