n TTSBURG. Aug. 2.-The situation
in the Amalgamated steel strike
today is anything but favorable
to an amicable adjustment Of the dis
pute between the association and the
United States Steel corporation
The reported refusal of the steel COM
pany officials to enter into another con.
ference. if adhered to, leaves only two
ways open to the Amalgamated associa-
tion.
One is to order the striking workmen
back to work under the best terms OBJ
tainable and the other is to proceed with
the strike. in the hope of involving all
the union men employed in the constitu-
ent concerns Of the United States Steel
corporation.
The first course certainly holds little
promise for the workmen, since the
strike has abrogated all the union scales
in force before the trouble started, leav-
ing them entirely at the mercy of the
manufacturers.
The second course means a struggle
to the death for the association, as the
announcement has been made on good
authority that the. mill will be started
next week with non union men if the
strikers do not resume work.

Berkeley, CAL, Aug. AT the closing
session of the summer school at the Uni
versity of California James Earl Rus
sell, dean of the teachers college and
professor of history and education at
Columbia university, struck some hard
blows at the teaching profession. He
called teachers the most narrow and
bigoted set of people on earth. He said
they were pusillanimous and cringing,
and accused them of being unprepared
for the work they were to do. The hall
was filled with teachers attending the
summer school, and the professors pack

WAR TO THEEND

The executive board went into ses-
sion at 10 o'clock this morning, with
James Mutt, secretary of the labor
bureau of the Republic Iron and Steel
company, and Joseph Bishop, secretary
of the Ohio board Of arbitration, were
present.
1t is reported that the final effort of
the Amalgamated association will be to
bring every influence to bear towards
arranging for another conference with
the company officials.
1t is said that before a general strike
is ordered the officers of the United
States Steel corporation will be fully in
formed of the intention of the Anal
gamated officers If more favorable terms
are not promptly presented for the con-
sideration of the board. A reasonable
time will be given before the extreme
measures are resorted to by the associa-
ton.
1t seems almost certain that if the re-
guest Of the Amalgamated association
for another conference is refused, the
strike will be extended to all the plants
controlled by the big steel corporation
where the Amalgamated association has
foothold, and that it will be the mo st
bitter struggle between capital and labor
ever seen in this country.

2.-The principal feature of the
Colorado quarto-centennial cele-
bration in this city today was an ad
dress by Vice President Theodore
Roosevelt on 1.-THE Growth of the West
During the Last Quarter of Century,
On his arrival this morning Colonel
Roosevelt was welcomed by Governor
Orman and staff, war veterans, school
children and many others. At 10 o'clock
he was escorted to North Park where
he spoke in the open air to an assembly
OF 10000 people. He said in part:
This anniversary, which marks the
completion by Colorado of her first quar-
ter century of statehood, is of interest
not only to her. not only to her sisters,
the states of the Rocky Mountain re-
gion, but to our whole country. With
the exception of the admission to state
hood of California no other event en-
rhasized in such dramatic fashion the
iull meaning of the growth of our cOun-
try as did the incoming of Colorado.
"You, the men of Colorado, and above
all. the older among those whom I am
row addressing, have been engaged in
doing the great typical work Of our peo-
pie. Save only the preservation of the
union itself, no other task has been so
important as the conquest and settle
Elent of the west.
"This conquest and settlement has
been the stupendous feat Of our race
for the century that has just closed. 1t
stands supreme among all such feats.
The same kind of thing has been in
Australia and Canada, but upon less
important scale; while the Russian ad-
vance in Siberia has been incomparably
slower.
"In all the history of mankind there
is nothing that quite parallels the way
in which our pc pie haze filled a vacant
continent with elf-governing cormon-
wealths. knit into one nation. And of
al this marvellous history perhaps the
rnost wonderful portion is that which
deals with the way in which the Pa
cific coast and the Rocky mountains
were settled.
There was scant room for the coward
ard the weakling in the ranks of the
adventurous frontiersman; the pioneer
settlers who first broke up the wilc
prairie soil. who first hewed their wa.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 2.-The state fur
nishing board is today examining de-
signs for furniture for the capitol from
six bidders, and may let the contract
before the day is over.
1t has set aside $4,000 Of an appropri-
alton for furniture and will be guided
as much by the merit of the designs
and the quality of the work as by the
price in the letting of the contract.
A week from today bids for frescoing
will be opened by the capitol commits
sion and it is expected there will be
fifteen bids at least, Judging from the
number of firms corresponding about the
work.
The board has set aside $25, 900 for this
and has notified the bidders 1t will be
guided solely by the character of the
designs and by the color scheme, the
object being to get the best work pos
sible for that sum.
