Civic Federation Moves to bring

Pittsburg, Aug. 27.-Some remarkable
changes in the situation of the strike
ridden mills of the United States Steel
corporation are promised for tie pres
ent week that viii. change the aspect
of affairs considerably If carried out. it
was stated on good authority yesterday
that before the end Of the week those
of the plants that have been operating
on single TURF would be run with full
force and for the usual three full turns
each day. Men enough have been Sc
cured for this purpose, the officials say,
in spite of the claims of the strikers
that the companies could not get
enough men to operate their plants,
and the managers of the various mills
say they will be ready with all the
skilled men required to start up the
machinery and turn out a heavy ton
mage. In furtherance of the peace pro-
gram which is said to have been In the
course of preparation for several days,

Certain Propositions
made to the officials of the United
States Steel corporation through mem
bers of the conciliatory committee of
the National Civic Federation, which
proposals are expected to bring about a
settlement of the great strike. Those
interested In the matter were in walt
ing all day yesterday for word TO pro-
coed with the program as outlined at
the conference of Amalgamated execu-
tives and the conciliatory committee of
the Civic Federation last Friday. The
propositions which are to be taken to
New York carry certain concessions by
the A~malgamated officials which II is
hoped VIII pave the way for the re-
opening of direct negotiations between
the association and the company. The
proposition carries much of the terms
undo which President Shaffer and his
advisers stand Willing, to settle. What
these terms are and the mode OF their
presentation are carefully guarded Sc
crets. There is the implication that
n contain concessions Of such i'm
portance that those in interest expect
the corporation to drop it's adverse at
utude to reopen negotiations. The pro-
posai contains nothing looking TO arbi-
tration. This mode of settlement was
waived on the advice of the Civic Fed

Arriving at 4 point near the scene OF
the crime the negro was placed on d
stump and given a nance to make a
statement. He mounted the stump
stolidly, and laughed as he began his
statement. He said:

chains and his body saturated with oil.
At 1:40 a match was applied and In
stantly the quivering body was envel-

pitched about the burning body and
soon life was extinct. The negro made
no outcry at any time and died as
stolidly as a stole. There were no dis

At least 5000 people witnessed the hor-

until nightfall. a~ugmenting the blaze
until the body was entirely consumed.
