STRIKERS PLAN BIG FIGHT

President Shaffer.

slOns.

New York, Aug. 5.-Ihe steel strlke
Is to be fight to finish between
labor and capital. Such was the de-
cision of Saturdays conference and
both sides have announced their de-
termination to carry on the contest
to the end with all the resources they
can command. The executive board
of the Amalgamated Steel, Iron and
Tin Workers, after failing to get any
concessions at a meeting here with
J. Pierpont Morgan, Charles NJ.
Schwab and other men interested in
the affairs of the United States Steel
corporation, announced that the
strike would be continued and that
orders would be given to the union
men employed by the National Steel
company, the Federal Steel company
and the National Tube company to
go on strike at once. On the other
hand, the mill owners will seek to
open their mills, as opportunity Of
fers, and keep them open without the
assistance of the union. No fewer
than 100000 employees will be affected
by the tying up of the steel corpora
TONS plants, and other allied indus
tries are certain to be injured.
Request of Union Refused.
The attitude of the board was far
from conciliatory, even at the outset
of the conference, and when subse-
quently the steel company officials
refused to accede to the unionizing
of the mills which have gone into the
organization since the strike began
all prospects of agreement d'sap-
peared. While it is true that the
members of the board were disposed
to give way to some extent on their
demand that they should be permit
ted to organize lodges in nonunlon
mills, they stood out for the recognl-
ton of the union in those plants
which, although hitherto independ-
ent, have since the strike was ordered
become more or less affiliated with
the association. The demand, they
saw, was refused point blank by Mr..
Morgan and his colleagues. Secre-
tary Williams, of the executive board,
states that about 100000 men are en-
ployed in the mills of the three COM
bines to which an attempt will now
be made to extend the strike.
Sha6er Talks.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 5.-"Within a
week every union man and every
union man at heart in the employ of
the United States Steel corporation
will be asked to join in the strike now
being waged by the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION. We must settle whether
unionism is to stand or fall.
"There will be no more conferences
with the United States Steel corpora
ton unless the NEE ting is asked for
by the officials of the corporation.
The Amalgamated association will not
request a peace meeting"
These and several other significant
statements were made Sunday night
by Theodore J. Shaffer, president of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, upon his re-
turn from the fruitless conference
with J. Pierpont Morgan and others in

which the bandits had evidently mis-
