with respect to the strike.

ers.
Pittsburg, Aug. 2.-"It will be a fight
to the finish. No quarter will be Civ

money and time necessary to wipe out
the Amalgamated association in all
our mills
This was the message that came
over the wires from New York to the
local officials of the United States
Steel corporation this afternoon. The
officials were waiting long after the
usual Saturday afternoon closing time
to get word from New York between

The executive board of the Amalgam.
ated association then went into ex-

would notify Mr.. Morgan in the after
noon of their decision. An hour be-
fore this time, second message came
to Pittsburg, announcing to the steel
officials here that the executive board
had decided that they would not ac-
cept Mr.. MOrgan's terms.
The second message contained the
statement also that appears above.
Some of the officials heard the mes
sage with misgivings. Others with
unconcealed satisfaction. One of the
officials left the Office declaring he
was glad of it. The fight woud sure

from the influence of union men.
At the headquarters of the Amalga-
mated association there was no one
about. All the executive officers be-
ing in New York at this time, no one
was present to look after the interests
of the strikers here, pending their re-
turn. Organizer Flynn of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor was about the
headquarters during the morning and
one or two of the striking steel work
ers, but they only remained a short
time. The only regret heard among
the strikers who were about was that
