At Wellsville the importation of men
failed to materialiZe and at McKees-
port the attempt to resume at the
Devices Wood tube plant was not
made. At both points, which are con-
sidered by each side to be the strike
centerS, the situation is in statu quo,
neither of the parties to the contro-
verSy having made any decided move.
From the other important point. Dun

struggle going on between the Ameri-

probably better for winning In the end.
Bulletin Issued by the Strike Leaders.
Late yesterday afternoon the ANAL
gamated Association issued its first
strike bulletin from the general offices.
The bulletin is printed in the ANAL
gamated Journal office, and is in
tended to give the members of the or
ganizatiOn official news concerning the
progress of the strike. In the future
it will be issued on each Monday
morning. sand was followed by the
regular issue of The Journal during
the latter part of the week.
The bulletin of Yesterday gives an
outline of the conditions prevailing
and reproduces abstracts Of President
Shaffer's recent addresses at Wells
Vile and McEeespOrt. and its most
pointed statement is as follows: There
We're not enough men in the country
to run the mills before the strike. so
all you need 10 do TO win the strike is
don't work. Enjoy your summer
shutdown. it means more work next
winter. That is the time for mill
work. anyhow"

There has been no change in the

so far as the officials of the association
are aware. The hope is still general
among these officials, however that
way will be found TO bring about set
tlement of the difficulties. President
Shaffer has never vet declared that
there was no possibility of concessions
on the part of the Amalgamated As
sociation. When asked his opinion on
this matter yesterday he replied that
he was unable TO answer the queS-
ton Friends of the president who
have talked to him on this line express
the firm belief that if the proper steps
were taken the manufacturers would
find the association in a cOnciliatOry
mood and ready to meet any reason

They say the whole tone of President
Shaffer'S remarks is inclined toward
peace if he can secure 1t honorably.
