Pittsburg, Pa, Sept S.-The last ef-
forts to settle the steel strike have
failed. The general executive board of
the Amalgamated association ad-
journed this evening without date and
without accepting any of the peace
propositions that have come indirectly
from the United States Steel corpora
ton, or making any counter PROPOSE
lions, according to the official state
msnt.
The semi-officiaI report is that the
proposition secured for the Amalga-
mated association, through the inter
vention of the representatives OF the
National Civic federation, was unsat-
isfactory and that the matter of set
Ting and arranging was left for Mr.
Shaffer The board, in its sessions OF
three days, has been clamorlng for
settlement, but satisfactory terms and
means were not at hand, and the ses-
sions resolved themselves into an in
formal discussion of the situation. At
the close of the meeting of the ma
tional executive board this evening
President Shaffer declared he had no
statement to make, but subsequently
said:
THE board has adjourned and the
out of town members will probably
leave for their homes tonight. No
peace propositions have been received
and none made"
Stin later he added that he nor no
other member of the board would go to
New York during the night to submit
a peace proposition, saying that he
would be at headquarters as usual to-
morrow.
The meeting of the board did not
adjourn in high good feeling. yet the
members of the board were averse TO
making statements supplementary to
that of President Shaffer-
Strike Must go on.
1t was stated by some of the mem-
bers of the board that the adjournment
had left matters practically as they
were. before the meeting had been
called, and that the strike must go on
as before, leaving arrangements for a
possible settlement through the direct
conference of the representatives of
the United States Steel corporation
/ with President Shaffer.
Today completed the first thirty days
since the American Sheet Steel COM
pany, the American Tin Plate COM
pany and the American Steel Hoop
company began their attempt to start

plant of the Steel Hoop company and
