New York, Sept 6.-The opportunity
..esented to Shaffer to call the strike
s. ~ terms which would have per-
lifted him to capitulate without hui
,;,iation either to himself or to the
args y ization which he heads came
rom conference held between
charles M. Schwab, president Of the
Frnited States Steel corporation and
no subsidiary companies, and a COM
nittee of the board of Cancellation of
10 National Civic federation. From
noon until nearly Z o'clock tonight the
conference was in session. It was
oarned afterward from an official
source that Mr.. Schwab ultimately re-
snonded to the appeals of the concilia-
lion committee and named the condi-
inns upon which he would be willing
] terminate the strike. In effect, Mr..
schwab said that the only terms he
would consider were that all mills,
whether union or non-union, which
mad continued in operation, or, after
heing closed in the earlier stages OF
the strike, had been put in operation
since should be regarded as non-union
mills On the other hand, he ex-
messed his willingness to recognize
IS union mills those plants which the
strikers had succeeded in closing and
keeping closed.
These conditions were contingent
mon the leaders of the organization
living instructions to the strikers 70
eturn to work at $50 o'clock last
hight. When Mr.. Schwab had, as it
we're, delivered his ultimatum, John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers Of America, and Samuel
Eompers, president of the American
federation of Labor, called up Presi-
ent Shafier on the long distance tele-
hone For more than an hour they
alked to him. explaining in details
he terms Mr.. Schwab had offered to
he strikers through the committee
The result of the conversation was
refusal on the part of Shaffec to ac-
ept the conditions. Shaffer, IN fact,
bid Gompers and Mitchell tha. he
r0uld prefer the strike to continue
ather than give in upon these terms,
ind that the Amalgamated association
Fould struggle on and sink or swim,
the fight resulted. For all practical
purposes the conference was at an end
hen, but for three hours more TIE
ommittee continued to discuss the
5ituation, and when the conference dis
plyed it was with the understanding
chiefly through the urging of the mem
bers of the Civic federation, that an
ether conference would be held today
Ehe reason for this supplication for
second meeting was the belief of the
committee that Shaffer, when the sit
nation became known in Pittsburg,
would be forced by his colleagues to
accept Mr.. Schwab's offer, inasmuch as
it would leave the association with a.
least some semblance of life and stand

Ask an Advance.

Stock Yards butchers and Meat Cutters
Ask an Advance.
chicago, Sept. 1.-THE big packing
hrms are Indifferent, or feign indiffer-
ence, to the demands of the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen's association, which has de-
manded an increase of 10 per cent in
pay. j. Ogden Armour said that he
knew nothing about the matter and
had nothing whatever to say about it,
He suggested that somebody at the
stock yards might know something re-
! garding the demand, if there had been
any demand. AS for himself, he was
In dense ignorance as to whether a
demand had been made, or whether
any conference had taken place be-
tween the<labor leaders and himself.
Charles w. Comes, the head man at
Armours Office, repeated Mr. Ar
mour's message and professed a like
lack of knowledge.
At the Office Of Swift & Co., in the
Calf building, La Sale and Quincy
streets, similar statement was given
out. Henry Veeder, attorney for the
firm, said he had heard nothing about
any contemplated strike.
The Demand Made. ...
Nevertheless, President Michael
Donnelly Of the Amalgamatcd Meat
Cutters union is authority for the
statement that an increase OF 10 per
cent has been asked. Mr.. Donnelly
says that the time set for reply ex-
pired last Saturday night, and that
no further action has been taken, ex-
cept to open negotiations for hiring
large hall at Halsted and Thirty
eighth streets, to be used as a head
quarters for the meat workers
From other quarters it is stated that
the attitude Of the packers in ignor-
ing the requests OF the men has melted
the anger of the workmen, and that
unless change is manifested within
few days one OF the greatest strikes in
history will be called.
Request and Not UItimatum.
Mr.. Donnelly is not as radical as
this. He says he hopes to secure re-
ply from the packers. He says the
request for an iscrease was not in the
AAeA <uAS ~ Gil tiiIlL1SdIuA1 VI
He will not say whether he thinks
strike probable or not.
There are 5000 skilled workmen in
the packing plants Of Chicago, and
$4,000 throughout the country. Should
they go out, hundreds OF thousands OF
unskilled laborers would be thrown out
of employment.
The wages of the skilled men now
range from 171s to As cents an hour
Most of them receive from Is to IS
cents.
Should Mr.. Donnelly fail to bring
about settlement, he probably will
summon the national executive board
Of the union for conference al
though he has already been empowered
to call a general strike if he thinks
necessary.
Demands bv Upholsterers.
New York, Sept. 4.-The Upholster-
ers' union of this city has made de-

mand is refused. The union has 1000
members in Greater New York, and
their demand has been Endorsed by the
Central Federated union.

PoRTEoUs MAKES TROUBLE.
Endeavors to Prevent Transfer of
Criminal identification Records.

No trouble is anticipated by Major Syl
vester as result of the Injunction pro-
ceedings Instituted by George N. Porteous
in his endeavor to prevent the removal
of the offices of the National Bureau Of

tion was taken for the good Of the SER
vice, but privately it was stated that Mr..
Porteous' conduct OF the affairs OF the

meet with the approval Of the board. The
present action, it is understood. is merely
an effort on the part Of the dept9od super
intendent to enbarrass the management
Of the bureau. The temporary order that
was issued by Judge Burke VIII be re-
turnable in a few days. and there is no
question but that il viii then be dissolved.
The effects Of the bureau are now be-
ing packed preparatory TO shipment here.
It is likely that the bureau viii be located
in the Offices adjoining those occupied by
Major Sylvester at Police Headquarters
within fortnight.
Chief QuiglCy, who recently resigned
as chief Df the Indianapolis force, is
prominently spoken OF in connection with
the vacancy in the position Of superin-
t'ndent Of the bureau. He was "a mem
ber Of the board OF governors Of the

ings Of the bureau. The appointment may
not be made for some months. although
