GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT AT ACTION
OF EXECUTIVE BOARD.
THE PROPOSALS NOT ACCEPTED
1t Fails to Ratify the Terms of Set.
Element Agreed Upon Between b
Steel Corporation and the National
Officers of the Amalgamated Asso-
c1atIon-It Opposes Making Open
Mills of All the Plants-After an
All-Dsy Session 1t AdJourns to Meet
Again Tomorrow.

Pfttsburg. July 30.-Disappointment
and apprehension pervade the air of
Pfttsburg tonight because of the fail
ure of the executive board of the Anal
gamated Association of iron, steel and
tin workers to ratify the peace propo-
sails at the conference in New York last
Saturday between the national officers
of the Amalgamated Association and
Messrs. Morgan, Schwab and Gary,
representing the United States Steel
Corporation.
When the conference opened this
morning it was confidently expected
hat the agreement would be reached
in a short time, but after a session last
ing from $50 o'clock a. M, until $50
p. m, the meeting adjourned. without
arriving at any conclusion so lar as
known, to meet again tomorrow morn
ing.
The protracted session indicates that
the board is not satisfied with the pro-
Visions OF the compromise measure,
and unlesss some notifications are
made its ratification is doubtful. The
opening Of union mills to non-union
workmen is the point which it is be-
lieved the board hesitates to accept,
and the long distance telephone be-
tween New York and Pittsburg was
worked frequently today to get a modi-
hcation of this clause. The workmen
hold that this would give the mill
owners full opportunity of crushing the
union without a strike by finding ex-
cuses to discharge men and then fill
their places with non-unionists.
Another rock of dissension is said to
be the retention in their present Jobs of
the men who worked as strike break
ers' at the various mills during the
strike. 1t is said that these men have
been promised the protection of the
manufacturers in case of a settlement
and that they will not concede their
dismissal at the request of the organi-
cation. The workers, it is said. are
willing to declare the mills now work
ing open mills, but siren
uOusly object to having all the mills of
the combine classified as open mills.
All is, however. conjecture, as it Is
impossible to get any definite state
ment from any of the parties interest
ed concerning the days conference.
When the BOARD dispersed at $50
o'clock every m was Waylaid by
persistent newspaper men seeking in
formation, but every question was an
Swered py the s~tereOtyped phrase:
we car say nothing. There is moth
ing absolutely to give to the public at
this time
1t is doubtful if the member of the
general executive board of the Amalga-
mated ASSOcia ton were ever more I'M
communicative and reserved than dur
ing and after the meeting of today.
The Importance of the matter in hama.
the fate of the strike and the welfare
OF the members of the organization,
now idle, rested 10 their decision.
The full board was present, with one
exception.

Long Skirts Condemned.

Consumption causes one-fifth Of
the deathes in Canada. Physicians
attending tuberculosis congress at
Ottowa declared that woman's long
skirts are responsible for thousands
of deaths ascribed to this disease.
The draperies are scavengers which
pick up and cherish tuberculosis
germs that develop in the house
hold.
The long skirt is a scavenger
wherever it is worn. Not only the
microbe of consumption, but the
sputa of all diseases, the filthy
muck Of the streets, the elusive
germs that lnfest public halls and
hotels the long skirts appropriate
and shelters until ripe TO do their
deadly business.
Habitual cleanliness and good
sense Of American women have
leng since set the seal of condem-
nation upon the outdoor long skirt,
which is growing rarer in the
thoraughfare. It ought not 70 be
forgotten that when American
women began adopting the short
skirts there were stupid conserya-
tlyes who s,imatfzed that wise
fashion IS lackin s. in modesty:.--

A Worthy ORGANIZATION.

The EXAMINER wants TO call tho
attention Of atoekralsers in general
to the Bear Lake County Stock
growers Association. This is a
mutual organization formed for the
protection and advancement of
stock growers interests in this and
adjacent sections. The association
already numbers among it's mem
bers most all the stockmen of the
territory it covers, but it wants and
needs the cooperation of the people
engaged in this business. That it
will be and is of Unreasonable
benefit to stockraisers cannot be
questioned, having, as it does, a
tendency to protect stock on the
ranges from thieves and purloiners.
The association likewise looks
after estrays, saving the owners
expense; it watches for infectious
diseases of various kinds and keeps
its members notified on this point
so they can the better protect their
herds and fiocks. 1t watches the
shipments of stock to see that none
are wrongfully taken away. In
fine, it is protection and benefit
in a great many ways.
With all these things in it's favor,
it certainly should commend itself
to all who are interested in the live
stock industry, and the EXAMINER
hopes to see it flourish as it deserves. |
The names of the officers will be
found in another column of to-day's
