PEACE MOVEMENT DEAD.
The Attempted Settlement of tn.
Great Strike Proves a Com
pIete Failure.

Pittsburg, Sept. TN spite of the
fact that the terms offered by the
United States Steel corporation for
a settlement of the steel workers
strike were limited to six o'clock
Thursday night, the executive board
of the Amalgamated association,
after remaining in session all of Fri
day adjourned until ten o'clock this
morning without reaching definite
decision. The peace movement is re.
garded as practically dead. In the
offices of the Carnegie building it was
stated that the situation was simple
The Amalgamated association had
dent Schwab and negotiations had
terminated. The officials of the con.
stituent companies had been in
structed to start up all of the plants
just as soon as possible and with non
union men. Just what the PROPOSE
ton was that Mr.. Schwab made to the
Amalgamated association could not
be learned. The AmaIgamated men
who knew its details declined to say
anything about it. 1t was stated on
the other SIDE, however, that Presi-
dent Schwab practically reiterated
the offer made by Mr.. Morgan, that
the corporation would sign the scale
for all mills that it had signed
for before the strike, and that union
wages would be paid in all nonunion
mills affected in the controversy
Every move made by the mill officials
Friday indicated that the peace ne
gotiations were all off.

TO PURCHASE BONDS
Secretary Gage Takes Steps to Re-
lisve Money Market.

Washington, Sept. 11.--The follow
ing announcement was inside Tues
day at the treasury department.:
1.-THE secretary of the treasury hereby
gives notice that he will receive and con-
slider proposals for the sale to the govern
ment, on account of the sinking fund, Of
United States three per cent. bonds, loan
of 190S-19lS; four per cent. boEds, funded
loan Of 1907; four per cent. bonds, loan OF
1925, and tve per cent bonds, loan of 1871,
to an amount not exec eding go, OGOCO0. Pro-
posals should be submitted to the secre-
tary by letter or telegraph not later than
Thursday, the 18th inst; any bonds ac-
cepted to be promptly delivered at the
United States subtreasury in New York
or to the treasury department at Washing
ton.
1.-THE right to reject any or all proposals
is expressly reserved.
LYMAN ]. GAGE.
Secretary"
The secretary also has directed
that internal revenue receipts be de-
posted with national bank deposit
taries up to the par value of all
bonds deposited including the two
per cent. bonds. This will release
about $5,O0O,O0O.
Reason for His Action.
Commenting upon the offer made in
his circular, Secretary Gage said that
the active movement of crops had be-
gun throughout the country, and he
did not desire that the treasury should
absorb millions of dollars that might
be in trade channels. The subtreas-
uries in the west and south have been
nal1 hno vii -
the crops, and the amount sent so far
is in excess of any year in the history
of the treasury. The placing of addi-
tional money with the national bank
depositaries will divert about S5,000,-
600 from treasury vaults and put it
into circulation. At the same time the
purchase of $2O,OO0,OOO in bonds would
be decided relief.
won't Pay Advanced Prices.
The only question now is whether
the offers of the secretary will be such
as to induce him to purchase the
amount he desires, or any sum at all.
The tendency in offers of this kind is
to cause the prices of bonds to rise.
Secretary Gage does not intend to pay
above what the bonds are worth and
will make no purchases If the offers
indicate that the market prices are to
be raised. Last April Secretary Gage
made an offer to purchase bonds to re-
heve the constantly increasing addi-
ton to the cash balance of the treas
ury, but he fixed prices at which the
government would buy. These prices
have governed the purchases of all
bonds to this time. The price limit is
now removed for the first time, and
offers are asked for, with the supposi-
ton that the prices will be such a will
permit the secretary to invest num-
Der of millions of the treasury surplus
in short time.
Since the offer of the secretary last
April the treasury has purchased TO-
tai of about $4,000, 900 in bonds, and
these have gone into the sinking fund,
thereby decreasing the interest pay
ment of the government. The pur-
chases have been made slowly, some
times few thousands on one day, and
on other days reaching into the hun
dreds of thousands.

sued John Haley for divorce. She says
in her petition, which was filed in COM

burglary, and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for one year, which sentence he is
now serving. He is also accused of hay-

children and be restored to her maiden
name of Gertie ID. Warren. John b.
