According to the official state
ment made by the manufacturers
conferees who met the Amalga-
mated association representa-.
tives and failed to agree on a
settlement of the strike, the
manufacturers did not refuse the
Amalgamated association the
right to organize their mills.
According TO the declaration o1
President Shaffer of the associa-
ton. all that was asked OF the of
ficers was the right to organize
the non-union plants of the com
panies interested. The. strike
therefore has not been clearly
appointed.
Last night President Shaffel
when questioned regarding the
position of the manufacturers or
this plant said:
NO matter what they now
say the fact remains that they
refused the Amalgamated mer
right 10 organize their non-unior
plants.
He did not believe that the
accredited statements on this
point from Vice President War
ner Arms were correct.
IF they are, and the manu-
facturers are willing to allow the
Amalgamated association tt
organize the non-union plants
then''-and the leader of the iror
workers grew intensely in earn
est-'.I say the strike is all off.

MORGAN WORRIED
Officials of the Affected Combine Be-
little the Efforts of Workmen
in the Strike.

NEW OfSh. - dAy IL. u.
pont Morgan is said to be badly
worried over the steel strike
Morgan is a good fighter, and
ordinary setbacks bother him
but little. tits said that his trm,
J. P. Morgan & Co., owns In
round figures SOC, 900 shares OF
the common and preferred stocks
in the steel trust, and through
its patrons is carrying fully that
much more. The decline of
about II points in the last ten
days on these holdings represent
in the shrinkage of values a
tremendous sum.
Morgan would not say a word
about the strike, and llhis part
ners have been cautioned to
keep silent on the subject. Sim
liar orders were probably issued
to other officers of the steel
trust, as none of them would say
word yesterday.
Charles M. Schwab, president
of the trust, held long con-
ference with Morgan in the
latter's Office at midday. The
telegraph department of the
United States Steel corporation
has direct wires running to Pitts
burg and to several of the mills
which are tied up. These wires
We're kept busy throughout the
day, and the officials here were
informed of every development.
The report from Pittsburg
that there would be a conference
here which would result in some
offer to the union men, was not
borne out by the days happen
ings. Cn the contrary, it was
declared that the trust would not
recede from its position, and
that the first overtures would
have to come from the men,
1t was said that at the confer
ence between Schwab and Nor
gan the advisability of at once
opening the closed mills with
non-union men was discussed.
Owing to the great number Of
orders ahead at all of the mills,
it is believed that steps will soon
be taken to open them up with
non-union men.
A mar who is daily associated
with Morgan and who has a
position of prominence in the
steel trust emphatically declared
that the demands of the Amalga-
mated association that the cor
poration be unionized would not
be granted. If this were done,
be said. it would destroy the
future usefulness of the corpora
ton.
John Lambert, former presi-
dent of the American Steel and
Wire company, one of the chief
constituent companies of the
trust. in a private dispatch from
Chicago says;
$50 far as the strike at some
of the mills is concerned, / think
Is will be forgotten in very few
days. At best it only affects few
mills. All of the rest of the
mills of the United States Steel
corporation are at work, and as
they have all the business they
can take care of for the remand
er of the year, 1 cannot see how
the company generally is going
to be affected much on account
of the shutting down of these
mills, even for an indefinite per-
iod.

SPRIGGS TALKS HOPEFULLY
Prime Minister at the Cape Tells Col.
onists of Conditions in South
Africa.


columns of the Boer invaders,
commanded by Malan, Lategan,
Breed and Smit, which were
marching on Victoria West, came
in contact with the British forces
under COlonels Haig and Cor
ringe at Van Reenan, in the
Zuurberg. The Beers escaped
by abandoning large number
of their unframed horses.
The prime minister, address
ing the vigilance committee yes
terday, replied to the petition
from Graaf Reinet regarding
the suspension of responsible
government. He maintained
that there was no analogy what
ever between the circumstances
in Canada and those in Cape
Colony. The weak, vacillating
policy of the imperial govern
ment twenty years ago brought
about the present position in
South Africa. Sir Bartle Frere
had accepted his (SpriggsO ad-
vice, but unhappiIy Great Brit
ain would not listen to Sir Bartle
Frere's recommendations. In
consequence Of this events had
occurred whence all the present
troubles arose.
Spriggs said he was entirely
satisfied that SO long as Lord
Salisbury remained in power
there would be no shodow of
anything in the nature of going
back. He deprecated the sus-
pension of responsible govern
ment, as it might possibly cause
changes IN the position of the
British political parties. The
Cape government entirely SYM
pathized with the announced
policy Of the imperial govern
ment. The Cape cabinet had
been rendering all possible sup
port to the imperial government
and intended to continue its sup
port with full assurance that the
imperial authorities would not
vary their policy, which he un-
derstood was to wipe out the last
vestige of republicanism in
South Africa.
England, Spriggs added, had
consulted the cape cabinet in re-
gard to South Africa's future.
The cabinet strongly held the
opinion, which was shared by
the imperial government, that
first there must be a period of
military rule, followed by a
crown colony government for
the new colonies. The Cape
government recommended a
large scheme of immigration.
Federation must not be hurried.
Spriggs expressed the opinion
that the aspect of affairs was
more hopeful today than at any
time since the outbreak of hostil-
tiles. Communications were
passing between Lord Kitchener
and the Cape government re-
garding the best course to be
taken with the view of bringing
the war to a speedy close.
Spriggs was satisfied that such
an arrangement would be reach
ed between Lord Kitchener and
the Cape government, and that a
very considerable improvement
might be looked forward to in a
short time. He believed that the
Cape parliament would meet be-
fore the end of October. and
was confident that the govern
ment would have sufficient major
ity to carry any necessary meas
ure.
In conclusion Spriggs stated
that a customs conference in
all the states and col
onies of South Africa would
be called toward the
close of the year,
