NEW YORK, July 27.-The
World tomorrow will say:
The great steel strike will be set
tied within a few hours. Theodore
]. Shaffer, president of the Anal
gamated Association, slipped into
the city yesterday morning, accom-
panied by Secretary Williams. T',ey
held several conferences during the
day with officials of the United
States Steel Corporation, and an
early settlement of the differences
is in prospect.
J. P. Morgan. who has been de-
pended upon to adjust matters be-
tween the giant company and its
striking employees gave up his day
off, yesterday and worked long
hours at peacemaker.
The basis OF settlement Of the
steel strike is compromise, con-
cessions being made by both sides.
The terms, 1t is understood, will be
about as follows:
l. The mills recognized as union
on July /, will be continued as
such, save, possibly, where the
Amalgamated Association has eff
fected a strong organization.

Mr.. Sehwab listened earnestly
while the strike leaders explained
the basis on which they would end
the strike. Mr.. Schwab otter he
had learned the views of Shaffer
and williams, fastened 10 the Office
of Mr.. Morgan.
Mr.. Schwab spent an hour with
the great financier.
When Mr.. Sehwab returned to his
own Office Messrs. Shaffer and VIII
liams were waiting for him. At
this conference Mr.. Schwab did
most of the talking. He told the
strike leaders the terms on which
Mr.. Morgan would consent to a set
Element of all differences.
The discussion which followed
was eminently harmonious. 1t
soon became apparent that all dif-
ferences could be adjusted and Mr..
Schwab was beaming when he
emerged from his Office shortly after
3 o'clock, accompanied by Messrs.
Shaffer and Williams. They, too,
seemed to be in good spirits.
Mr. Schwab went again to Mr..
Morgan's office, where he remained
more than an hour. He then went

of the combine have exhausted their

at work One of the prominent mem
bers of the tin house workers said to-
day that the talk of a sympathetic
strike of their organization was I'M
authorized. The association had adopt
ed the same rules in regard to sympa-
thetic strikes as the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION. They would cheerfully give
aid and moral support to the strikers,
but would keep their agreement with
the manufacturers, which was regarded
in the light of a contract.
A similar state of affairs was report
ed from the ranks of the structural steel
workers, who say that they are not
willing to go into a sympathetic strike
and violate agreements with their en-
ployers and their own good name.
They have indicated a willingness, how
ever to give moral and financial aid
to the Amalgamated Association in its
struggle with the steel trust.
A dispatch from Wellsville says:
There is now but little doubt that
the Wellsville mill will be running in
full by the first of next week. The

with lne plant here for years, now
fully realize that the mill is to run

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 27.-Surface
indications of the steel workers strike
to-day were somewhat bewildering. So
many conflicting reports were heard
from usually reliable sources that even
the strikers were at loss to account
for them. During the morning hours
the absence of President I. j. Shaifer
from his Office was noted 1t was said
that he would not be at his desk during
the day. John Williams, the secretary
treasurer of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton. was also absent from the office.
1t was said that Mr.. Williams was to
address a meeting of strikers in Wells
vile tonight and had gone there.
This report was subsequently denied.
AS to President Shaffer, the, officials
present in headquarters maintained
resolute silence 1t was said that he
might be in Pittsburg and he might
not. His desire was to be undisturbed
at present.
Late in the afternoon 1t was report
Cd that the head of the Amalgamated
Association was in New York IN con-
ference with ]. P. Morgan. Associated
Press dispatches announcing bis ar
rival there were read to the vice pres'-
dents who were about the headquarters.
These were denied at times or evaded
entirely.
General interest was taken In the re-
mort that Joseph Bishop. OF the Ohio
board of arbitration,
Was Expected In Pittsburg
during the day. He was expected at
the Amalagamated headquarters, but
did not appear. His name was not
registered in any of the hotels OF the
city and after a long search it was
found that Mr.. Bishop had not arrived
in Pittsburg, and that if the report was
true that he had left Columbus Tor
Pittsburg on Friday night, he had gone
on east, with the strong probability that
President Shaffer was in his company
from this point. The significance Of
this matter was quickly realized and 1t
was believed that matters were really
shaping themselves for settlement Of
the strike in all of the mills.
There were few officials about the
offices of the manufacturers during
the day, and none could be found who
would give any statement. 1t was
stated that no new developments had
been learned in those quarters that
were known by the working forces.
Reports that the members of the In
ternational Protective Association OF
Tin Workers would strike in sympathy
with the Amalgamated Association are
not apparently borne out By facts.

2. The Amalgamated Association
will recede from its demand that
the steel company sign the scale
for all mills.
3. The steel company will pay
the scale In all mills, union or nom
union.
4. All mills shall be open to all
men, with or without union cards.
The Association shall not attempt
to force men into the union or to
oblige the steel company to employ
only union men.
5. The steel company will per-
NIT the organization Of men when
they manifest desire to join the
Amalgamated or other associations.
The steel company officials sew
eral days ago expressed their will
ingness to renew negotiations with
the officials of the Amalgamated
Association, and Messrs. Shaffer
and Williams started promptly
from Pittsburg for New York.
Upon their arrival here they went
to the offices OF the United States
Steel Corporation on broadway.
There they were met by President
Charles NJ. Schwab, who took them
into his private Office.

A new phase in the situation has
just been brought out in the discovery
that the motormen on the East Liver
pool and Wellsville street car line have
refused to stop their cars to allow the
mill workers to ride to and from their
work. They have also refused to carry

home to the mill. The conduct of the

Instead of a mass meeting a secret
