STEEL STRIKE IS
STILL UNSETTLED.
Workers Spend Day in Confer
ence, but Fail to Accept
Trusts Proposals.

Pittsburg, July 20.-D:sappointment and
apprehension pervade the air of Pittsburg
tonight because of the failure of the Ex-
ecutive Board of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron. Steel and Tin Workers to
ratify the peace proposals arranged at the
conference In New York last Saturday be-
tween the national officers of the Amalga-
mated Association and Messrs Morgan,
schwab and Gary. representing the United
States Steel Corporation.
When the conference met to-day 1t was
confidently expected that an agreement
would'be reached in short time, but after
a session lasting from $3.50 a. m. to $50 D.
m. the meeting adjourned without arriving
at any conclusion so far as known to meet
again tomorrow morning.
The protracted session indicates that the
board Is not satisfied with the provisions OF
the compromise measures. and unless some
notifications are made it's ratification Is
doubtful. The opening of union mills to
nonunion workmen is the point on which it
Is believed the board hesitates. The work.
men hold that this would give the mill own
ers full opportunity of crushing the union
without u strike by finding excuses to dis
charge union men and then fill their places
with nonunionists. The workers. 1t Is said,
arc willing to declare the mills now work.

object TO having all the mills of the COM
bination classified as open mills.

called to order by President Shaffer. When
the meeting was opened Al but co1serens
were required to leave the room. The dis
cussion started after President Shaffer had
gone over the details of the conference he
had had with MIR. Morgan and President
Schwab in New York. Secretary Williams
read his report of the conference and also
the propositions that had been made BY the
officers of the United States Steel Corpora
ton. The discussion that followed cen
tinued until after the noon hour and then

o'clock

New York over the long-distance telephone
At the afternoon meeting Of the board all
were present who had taken part during
the earlier session. with the exception Of
Mr.. Garland. AT the close of the days SEES
sion the members of the board slipped away
one by one TO their respective homes until
lone was left at headquarters but President
Shaffer and Secretary Williams. They at
fist refused to give any information, but
finally President Shaffer volunteered the
statement that an adjournment had been
taken until tomorrow. Further than this
he would say nothing, and admitted that
even the AM ouncenent of adjournment was

Secretary Williams said matters were In

The discovery of oil in paying quantities
IN southern California and Texas was
watched with interest by Southern Pacific
officials and careful observation convinced
them that enough oil could be obtained and
at a low cost to justify the general substi-
tuition of oil for coal on many divisions.
The late President Huntington had used OF.
on many engines in California and found
1t cheaper than coal before the former was
discovered in large quantities.
Since the recent strikes the price of oil
has tumbled to such a basis that an official
OF the Southern Pacific company estimates
that there will be saving Of at least one
third in fuel where the substitution is
made. The economy may be still greater
The cost of changing the fire boxes and
certain ether parts of the engines will not
be large.
In addition to the substitution of oil for
coal, the company will make large expendi-
lures for replacing bridges along the main
divisions and in laying heavier rails. The
rails taken up will not be wasted. but will
be put down on less important divisions.
