probably be settled this week. The
conference held In New York Satur-
day between the officials Of the Unit
ed States Steel corporation and Pres,-
dent I. J. Shaffer and Secretary John
Williams OF the workers organization
has resulted in paving the way for
renewal OF negotiations between the
two conflicting interests. It Ii said
that basis for a conference has been
arrived at. This basis will not be-
divulged until later this week. II the
basis Is satisfactory TO the general
executive committee OF the Amalga-
mated association the conference be-
tween the association and the manu-
factarers will proceed at once II on
the other hand the basis Is not what
the Amalgamated association consid-
ers negotiable. the strike will con-
tinue.
President Shaffer and Secretary
Williams OF the Amalgamated asso-
citation. have returned from New
York. They spent many hours in con-
ference with the leading officiais Of
the stee! trust. and came hcme With
hopes for an early ending Of the
strike. In Pittsburg little was known
Of the conference. hut the greatest
interest in the outcome was shown
among the manufacturers. Vice Presi-
dent Pope Of the Carnegie Steel CON-
pany. said he had heard absolutely
nothing OF the results. and did not
know that the conference was on.
Additional Information regarding
the New York meeting Of the indus

from reliable sources. II was stated
that the two Amalgamated oficials left

their attention almost entirely to Mr..

went over the grounds on which the
strike began and discussed settle

Gov. Roosevelt is much annoyed over
