ANAL CAMATED men
AFRAID OF TREATY

Pittsburg, July 31.-Disappointment
and apprehension prevailed the air
because of the failure of the executive
board of the Amalgamated associa-
ton to ratify the peace proposals ar
ranged at the conference in New York
last Saturday between the national
officers of the association and Messrs.
Morgan, Schwab and Grady, repre-
senting the United States Steel cor
poration. When the conference
opened yesterday it was confidently
expected an agreement would be
reached in a short time, but after the
session lasting from $3.50 until $3.50
the meeting adjourned, without arriv-
ing at any conclusion as far as is
known, to meet again today.
The protracted session indicates
the board is not satisfied with the
provisions of compromise and unless
some notifications are made, it's rati-
fication is doubtful. The opening OF
union mills to non-union workmen is
the point on which it is believed the

IT AGAIN

Newport, July 3O-The Columbia
yesterday defeated the Constitution,
boat for boat, in splendid race by 2
minutes and 81 seconds and won the
$1,000 cup presented by Col. John
Jacob Aston. Her victory was de-
cisive and convincing. The behavior
of the Constitution on the other hand
was disappointing in the extreme and
Duncan announced that his boat
would not take part in further races
until the rig has been altered.
The regular trial races to select the
defender of Americas cup will be held
here August 81 and September and
8. 1t is not easy for the best friend Of
the Constitution to make plausible
excuse for her most palpable defeat.
She'was beaten fairly and squarely on
merits.

BREAD TRUST
HAS MILLIONS

New York, July 30.-What promises
to be bread trust of huge proper
tons had it's beginning yesterday by
the incorporation in Trenton, N J., OF
the National Bread company. The cap
ital stock of the corporation, fixed at
$3,000,000, it is stated, has been fully
paid in. The immediate ambition OF
the concern, if reports from a source,
seemingly authentic are accurate, is to
control the bread output of New York
City, Jersey City and Newark.
Finally the corporation expects
through a beginning in Chicago and St.
Louis, to acquire a similar control over
the bread industry in all the more i'm
portant cities of the United States. Ii
this be true, the company is aiming at
controlling in it's line similar to that
of the other great corporations regu-
lating other products.
Several of the larger bakeries of New
York already have been absorbed on a
division of stock basis by the new COM
pany, and it is said that in the result
ing fight of the trust for control the
other bakeries will be forced into the
new concern or suffer from the usual
methods of competition.
