PEACE WITH HONOR
Is ALL THAT THE STRIKING STEEL
WORKERS DEMAND OF
THE TRUST
NO CHANGE IN SITUATION
steel Trust Did Not Make Expected
Attempt to Operate Its Plants
at WeIIsviIIe and
McF<eespOrt

ffiISBURG, July 22.-The eXpe- I'd did
not happen today. Neither of the look
editor programmes for WellsviIe or Nc
keesport was carried out At WeHsviue
the importation of men failed to material
lze and at Mckee sport the attempt to re-
sumo at the Devices Wood tube plant
was not made
At both points, which are considered
by each side to be strike centers tie
situation is In statu quo, neither of the
parties to the controversy having made
any decided move. From the other i'm
portant point, Duncansville, conflicting
reports We're received. and the result of
the quiet struggle going on between the
American Steel Hoop company and the
Amalgamated Association is still uncer-
tain, with the company's chances proba-
bly, better for winning in the end
Late this afternoon the Amalgama.ed
Association issued it's first strike bulletin
from the general Offices
The bulletin Is printed in the Amalga-
mated Journal office and is intended to
give the members of the organization Of
fetal news concerning the progress of
the strike. In the future it will be is
sued on each Monday morning and will
be followed by the regular issue of the
Journal during the latter part of the
week.
SHAFFER'S ADVICE.
The bulletin today gives an outline Of
the conditions prevailing and reproduces
abstracts of President Skaters recent
addr esses at Wellsville and McKeesport.
In the most prominent part of the bule-
tin is printed the warning words:
DO not drink, especially If the trust
tries to break the strike by importing
non union men. Don't believe any one
who says the mills will be closed forever
or taken out of the community If YOU
don't go to work"
Further on are the words:
There were not enough men in the
country to run the mills before the strike,
so all you need to do to win the strike
Is don't work. Enjoy your summer shut
down; II means more work next winter.
That Is the time for mill work any
how"
Absolute denial was made by President
Shaffer of the story that delegation
from the Vandergrift mills of the Amer
can Sheet company tad been in confer
ence with him. He said he had seen no
one from Vandergrift and knew nothing
of their presence in Pittsburg or Nc
Keesport. Whatever is being done by the
Amalgamated people at Vandergrift is
being kept so quiet at present that few
of the general officials Of the organiza-
ton are acquainted with the state of af-
fairs.
There has been no change In the arbi-
tration or mediation movements so far
as the officials of the association are
aware The hope is still general among
these officials, however. that a way Will
be found to bring about a settlement Of
the difficulties
Preside mt Shaffer never yet has declar
that there was no poss bilty of conces-
sions on the part Of the Amalgamated
Association. When asked his opini on
this matter today he replied that he was
unable to answer the question. Friends
of the president, who have talked to him
on this line, express the belief that If
the proper steps were taken, the manu-
facturers would find the association in a
conciliatory mood and ready to meet any
reasonable proposition consistent with
honor. They say the whole tone Of Pres
ident Shaffer's remarks is inclined toward
peace if he can secure it honorably.
STRIKERS MAY MARCH
WELLSVILLE, Ohio, July 22-Two nty-
FIVE Italian laborers, employed in the
sheet mills, have struck for $50 per day
this morning. They are paid $l.35 and
when they reported for work at o'clock
they presented their demand 1t was
refused and the strike followed. The
foreigners are inclined to be dsorderly
and the police are keeping a close watch
on them. The Poles and Slavs refused
TO Strike. wee ITGSlu6HL JOnn Cndppeu
who Is in charge of the strikers, said that
he had In mind a desire to emulate the
marches made famous at Turtle Creek
and Sandy Creeks during the miners
strike Mr.. ChappeIl said he could get
1000 men into line, including the strikers
and their friends, the potters. This plan
has not been definitely decided upon, but
now that the company has failed to start
the mills in full this morning as threat
ened, the strikers VOW they will close
them down entirely.
This afternoon three of the men who
recently quit the mill nere to join the
Amalgamated association left the ranks
of the association and went to work at
the mill again. So far as can be learned
only one man from out of town has been
brought in. The impression prevails
here that now since a start has been
made many more of those on strike will
return to work tomorrow or Wednesday.
sCHWAB WON'T TALK.
NEW YORK July President Schwab,
of the United States Steel corpora
ton, refused today to make any reply
to President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated
association, or discuss the strike situa-
ton.
