BUFFALO, July 31.-A joint meeting
of railway passenger agents, newspaper
proprietors and hotel men was held yes
terday afternoon with the view of adopt
ing some means for correcting SO far as
possible the impression that appears to
prevail at distant points that railway
rates TO the pan-American exposition are
high and that hotel rates in Buffalo are
excessive. The conference revealed the
fact that Buffalo can accommodate 2OO,'
600 visitors in its private houses and ho-
tells at rates ranging from 30 cents to 81
per night and that no one need pay more
than 81 for first class lodging in a
private house. 1t was also shown that
the railroad rate is lower than for any
former exposition for a }, 10 or 10 day
ticket, according to distance, being at the
rate of one fare plus 81 for the round
trip from all parts of the country. The
average daily attendance since the open
ing day has been 10000. The average

STRIKE NOT SETTLED
Ali Day Conference at Pitts
burg Fruitless.
An AGREEMENT HOPED FOR TODAY.
The Failure 10 Eject settlement
Causes Much Jncnsincss - The
officials VIII Not Disclose
the Proceedings.

PITTSBURG. July 81. - Disappoint
ment and apprehension pervade the All
of pittsburg because of the failure of the
executive board Of the Amalgamated AS
sociation Of Iron. Steel ans Tin Workers
70 ratify the peace proposals arranged
1t the conference in New York last Sat
urday between the national officers of the
Amalgamatcd association and Mcssrs.
Morgan, Schwab and Gray, representing
he United States steel corporation.
When the conference opened yesterday
morning it was confidently expected that
an agreement would be reached in u
short time, but after Il session lasting
from $50 a. IN. until $50 p. IN. the
meeting adjourned without arriving at
any conclusion SO far as known to meet
again today.
The protracted session indicates that
the board is not satisfied with the pro.
visions of the compromise measures, and
unless some notifications are made its
ratification is doubtful. The opening of
union mills to nonunon workmen is the
point on which it is believed the board
hesitates TO accept, and the long dis
tance telephone between New York and
Pittsburg was worked frequently to get
modification of this clause. The work
men hold that this would give the mill
owners full opportunity of crushing the
union without strike 10y finding excuses
to discharge union men and then fill their
places with nonunionists.
Another rock of dissension is said to
be the retention in their present jobs of
the men who worked as "strikc break
ers" at the various mills during the
strike. 1t is said that these men have
been promised the protection Of the man
ufacturers in case of a settlement and
that they will not concede their dismiss
nj at the request of the organization.
The workers, it is said, are willing to de-
clare the mills now working nonunon
open mills, but strcnuously object to hav-
ing all the mills of the combine classified
as open mills.
All is. however, conjecture, as it is i'm
possible to get any definite statement
from any of the parties interested CON
cerning the days conference.
When the board dispersed at 6:30,
every member was waylaid by persistent
newspaper men seeking information. but
every question was answered by the
stereotyped phrase: We can say moth
ing. There is absolutely nothing to give
to the public at this time"
President Shal'er and Secretary vii.
liams declined to talk at all. Assistant
Secretary Tighe was agreeably happy and
cheerful, but said that he knew nothing
of interest to the public. NJ. NJ. Garland
who was present nj the first session of
the board, did not return during the aft
ernOon, but as he left the Offices of the
organization seemed to be satisfied with
the discussion that he had heard there.
