THE QUESTION OF UNION.
1t Occupies the Attention Of the NIL
waukee Convention.

Milwaukee, July 9.-The Glass Bottle
Blowers Association spent the entire
forenoon considering the proposed ANAL
gnmaton with the prescription bottle
department Of the Flint Glass Blowers
Association. This latter association is
expected to be heard from on the subject
about Thursday. Dn that day the con-
vcntion here will probably take definite
action. Both the two Thousand prescrip-
ton bottle blowers and the glass bottle
blowers association have voted almost
unanimously for the amalgamation in
polls taken during the year. 1t only waits
now for the conventions Of the two asso-
ciAtions to rntify.
The convention this morning listened to

A DARING
RESCUE.

Ocean City, N. J.: July l0.-In a
noble effort to save the lives of three
imperiled children from the surf to-
day, Chaplain Rose, retired, Of the
navy, ard who resides in Philadel-
phia, was himself almost drowned
and had to be drawn from the sea
with the little ones by the life
guards.
A strong wind was blowing late
this afternoon, and The tide was ebb.
ing out swiftly when number OF
bathers were frolicking among the
breakers, and large crowds were on
the beach. Among them in the surf
were three little girls, one of whom
was the daughter Of w. j. Moore
of PhiIade lphla, another the daugh-
ter Of Banker Thorn, Of New York,
but the name Of the third is not
now known. They had been in the
water but short time when they
found themselves suddenly beyond
their depth, and began to struggle
and Shrek. Chaplain Rose was near
by and with undaunted courage he
at once sprang to the rescue Of the
little ones with all the speed lie
could in the water.
AS their would be rcscucr reached
them the children became panic
stricken and madly grasped him by
the neck. Vainly he struggled to
free himself and assist the children,
but they would not loosen their grip
Of the man. He quickly lost strength
under the terrible strain and called
for help.
The crowds Oh the beach saw the
desperate struggle for life and though
it was scarcely more than minute
before Life Guards Foster ard Lud-
lam were swimming bravely to the
rescue, it seemed an eternity 10 the
excited watchers. The guards made
all possible speed, but it looked as
though their efforts would be futile,
as the imperiled ones were rapidly
weakening and drifting seward.
At length the guards got to the side
OF the chaplain and the little ones
and hauled them out of the water.

was some time before they recovered.

AWAITING THE STEEL
CONFERENCE TODAY
A shert Session With IN ;Amisabls
Adjustment Of the 'Diferencss
'''''' " ID Indicated.

Pittsburg, July 1O.-The steel strike
situation was quiet today, pending the
conference called for tomorrow in this
city. Everything is ready for the meet
ing. All details have been arranged, and
the indications point to IL short session
and an amicable adjustment of the diff
ferenccS.
When the conference opens it will be
ready for work at once. 1t Is tacitly un-
derstood by both sides that all minor
matters are to be laid aside. Even the
matter Of pay will not be discussed, as
both companies have consented to pay the
rates Of the new scale. There will be but
one point resented-whether all the mills
of the two companies shall be unionzcd
or not. For this reason the amnlgumated
people will not enter the conference for
the purpose of adjusting wages, but as
executive officials to outline the policy
of their organization.
Who will represent the steel companies
at the conference has not been learned.
Officials who spoke for the companies at
the previous conferences say they do not
knew whether they will he sent to the
new conference or not. 1t is likely that
the companies will have number of
new faces there, but it is not thought
that President Schwab or any other gen
craI official will take part Although
the American Tin Plate Company is not
a direct party to the conference, one of
its mills, located at Monessen, Pa, Is
involved. an agreement having been made
that if the American Sheet Steel Com
rany signed the scale for all its. mills,
the tin plate company would do likewise.
BY this means strike was averted and
the scale signed for all the tin plate mills,
but the one Mt Monesscn.
| A dispatch from Welsvillc. o.. says
that at the meeting of the new Amalga-
mated Lodge there last night, dozen
new members were takon in, increasing
the membership TO fifty. Three of the
men discharged from the mill were rein
stated, and it is believed that the other
nine, who We're let out, will be taken
back.
Two more signatures to the amalga
mated scale were received today. They
We're the Standard Chain Company.
Columbus, o., and Monongohela Iron and
Steel Company, Homestead, Pa.
Some excitement was Occassioned about
the headquarters of the Amalgamated
| Association this morning when a r,lmor
reached there that J. l.. Morgan would
attend the conference in person. Where
this rumor originated is not known. but
some of the labor officials are inclined to
believe that it is worthy Of crcdcnce.
Third Vice president Arms, of the
American Tin Plate Company, will be
one of the trust representatives.
Mr.. Shafer reiterated his statement
of yesterday, that tomolrowS conference
must be final. He said that something
!, of decided nature would have to be
done at the conference. or the labor
officials would be obliged to take final
action in the matter. His fellow Officers
agree with him to man.

fully fenced off all these claims ex-
