REJECTED BY SCHW AB.
Steel Magnate Declines to Settle Strike
by Arbitration.

! Indianapolis, Aug. 20.-simon Burns
announces that his plan for settling the
steel strike by arbitration has been re-.
iected by President Schwab of the
United States Steel corporation.
Mr.. Burns, who Is president of Local
Assembly, No. 30O2, National Organiza.
ton of Window Glass Workers, and
also the head Of the Knights Of Labor,
declares that another plan will be sub.
mitted at once to President Schwab.
He explained later that his first plan
Of arbitration was submitted to Presi-
dent Schwab on Aug. q, but that he
RECEIVED no reply to lit until Mr..
Schwabs secretary tclcphoncd him
from New York that his chief would
not consider the proposition.
II submitted my plan to Mr.. Schwnb
merely as n suggestion said Mr..
Burns, "and If there is anything in it
that is Objectionable to the trust Off.
cials 1t can be modified,
VIII Bring Up the Matter Again.
"Wllen l~return to pittsburg, shall
take the matter up again with MIR.
Schwab in the hope Of making some
kind Of an arrangement whereby the
strike questions can be submitted to
arbitration. think n start toward a
settlement of the strike should be made
somewhere at once, as 1t is hurting
business.
"If 1t Is true, as Mr.. Schwab says,
that there is nothing to nrbitrate, !
cannot see where his side will be in
jured by submitting to arbitration. 1t
might be different, of course, If the
matter were submitted to Interested
parties but that was not the plan.
~ think President Shaffcr Of the
Amalgamatcd association has acted
fairly in agreeing to submit his side Of
the trouble to arbitration"
Mr.. Burns further expressed the be.
lief that the entire matter as far as the
Steel corporation Is concerned has been
left In the hands of President Schwab,
and that 1t will depend on him whether
or not the strike shall be settled BY
arbitration.

All machnists are requested to stay

strike is on in that city. The local lodges
of machinists received poster yesterday
from Toledo Lodge, No. 1O5 stating that
there was strike at the American Die
Lock Company and the Craig Ship
Building Company.
The journeymen BARRIERS are still work
ing hard to get all the local shops to
close at o'clock. The movement has
been very successful, especially in the
central part Of the city and the east
side. During the last few days it has
Geen discovered that there are several
shops in the vicinity Of Brandywinc
bridge and also several near the Il. Il o.
Delaware avenue station that continue to
keep open late. A list Of all the shops
that are closing at 8 o'clock and those
that refused to close at that time is be-
ing made out by members Of the Jour
neymen Barbers' Association and will
be published in a few days. William
Abbott, who conducts shop at A'ourth
and Jefferson streets Is keeping open
until o'clock of evenings while shops
all around him close at O'clock Albert
Fountain, the colored barber at No. 2
West Sixth street is keeping open until
0 o'clock.
1t is a noticeable fact that tho shops
that are keeping open late do but little
il any business the last hour. 4 delega-
ton of the journeymen will go bef,.e the
United Labor League on Sunday and
state their grievances. All union barber
shops are supposed to close at l2 o'clock

VACATION
ABOUT OVER,

| Back to school. Vacation days for the
| pupils of the public schools are about
| over There are but few days of va
cation left and the thousands of scho-
| ars VIII regret that the season of idling
| and pleasures is ut an end when they
i take up their books next Tuesday to be-
gin another school term. Tho ringing vt
the O'Clock bell will mean that school
life has begun again in earnest.
I he first week there will be no after
noon sessions in the primary schools, but
this rule does not apply to the grammar
schools and the High School How
ever, all pupils who desire to attend the
ceremonies OF unveiling the monument
at Coochs Bridge. Tuesday afternoon
will he permitted to do so. Snpcrintcnd.
ent Twitmycr has given orders for the
opening of the lunch counter in the
High School on Tuesday morning.
With the opening of the schools for he
coming term will come some new CON
ditonS. For the first time in twenty
years there will he Il prospect of eve1y
applicant securing a seat, in fact, there
are Nmpl" accommodations for all resi-
dent pupils. This is made possible by
the extra accommodations furnished in
the new High Scnool.
The question ol nonresident pupils will
have an important bearing in school
matters hereafter. Recently tho Boa
of Education adopted resolution that
all NONRESIDENT pupils should be rcluirct
to pay for their tuition, Though Super
intendrnt Twitmycr considers this move
the most equitable and Just action the
Board of Education ever took h. be-
lievcs it viii have the effect Of causing
u decrease in the number of scholars
this term.
According to the annual report of Su-
perintenlent Twitmycr the number OF
pupils in the schools last year was H..
O19. 1t is said that of this number 400
were nonresident pupils. A census taken
by the superintendent showed 2S9 non,
resident scholars. Of this Dumhor he
does not expect that more than 100 will
return under the new regulation Even
this number will bring in A good rcvcnu"
to the board and should there be many
more the revenue would be several thou-
sands of dollars n year.
Though Superintendent Twitmycr Ms
in mind various courses for improve
ment in the schools he announces that
there will be no radical changes. If any
change is made it will be matter of
eXpcdicncy and economy.

TO stop the work in the steel mills, and
stops in the midst Of its argument to
say, I'VE do not know that we can make
1t plain to our contemporary. That is
just the point that most Of us people
would like to have cxplaned--why the
employees strike in body with the IL
tention of stopping the mills when they
have no complaint as individuals in l,-

the strike, after all, the child Of pros
pcrity? One seems natural sequence Of
