THE LEADERS GO TO NEW YORK.
To Convince the Steel People That a New
Conference is Necessary
(By the Associated Press }

(By the Associated Press.)
Pittsburg, Pa, August 2.-Judging by
indications that are practically facts,
peace or war in the steel troubles will
be announced from New York city tomor-
row. When the Amalgamated Association
executive board adjourned this evening
President Shaffer announced that another
meeting would be held tomorrow. There
probably will be meeting here tomorrow
of portion of the board but the ma
tional officers will be in New York. They
left for that city tonight on the Penn
sylvania limited at 10 o'clock
The circumstances leading up to this
unexpected trip, while not officially made
known are evident enough to substantiate
the story which follows:
During the day many kilograms were
received at the association conference
rooms, the last coming just before ad-
journment, and it was answered promptly.
This answer was in all probability the an
nouncement to the New York people that
the trip would be made by the officials
tonight carrying out an arrangement en-
tered into at Veryl Preston's rooms in
the Hotel Henry a short time before. At
about Ais p. m. Messrs. Shaffer, Williams
and Chappelle went to Mr.. Preston's
rooms and were closeted with him for
about thirty minutes. The understanding
is that at this meeting Mr.. Preston made
known the combines only concession in
the matter of re-opening the wage con-
ference where it left off three weeks ago.
This concession was in the shape of a
demand that if a new conference is
granted it must be specifically stated be-
fore hand what is expected to be accom-
plished, what ground is to be covered
and what companies are to participate.
This brings the matter up to the
Amalgamated Association, and the mission
of its high officials to New York is doubt
less to convince the steel people there
that a new conference is essential to
peace and an amicable settlement of the
strike troubles. The conference today
was a repetition of yesterday the
strctest kind of secrecy being maintained
as to the happenings inside the room and
the progress being made had to be gussed
at.

Warren and Cranston.

Warren and CranSton.
In the eleventh inning while Stewart
was at bat he sent a long drive to left
which Umpire Mace called foul. Allen,
who is captaining the team in the abb
sence of Thackara, went up to argue the
point Gates came from behind the bat
ter, and words ensued between him and
Allen which eliminated in short lived
fisticuff which filled the diamond with
people; but the players separated the
combatants and the next ball across the
plate Stewart sent to centre, scoring
Cranston, who had just previously made a
double steal.
