EXECUTIVE BOARD AD-
JOURNs WITHOUT EFFECTING
SETTL LEMENT.

pu,shpry Sent a-The last effort to settle the
steel strike has failed. The General Executive
Board OF the Amalgamated Association adjourned
without date this evening. and without accepting
any OF the peace propositions. which have come
Indirectly the United States Steel Corpora
tion and without making any counter propositions,
according the official statement
The semi-of1cia report is that the proposition
secured for the Amalgamated Association through
the intervention of the representatives or the Ma
tional Civic Federation was unsatisfactory and
that the entire matter of arranging for d settle
ment was left with President Shaffer. The board
in its session of three days has been clamoring
for a settlement, but satisfactory terms and means
not at hand, and the sessions resolved them
selves into informal discussion of the situation
At the close of the meeting of the national ex-
ecutive board this evening President Shaner de-
clared that he had no statement to make but sub
sequently said:
The board has adjourned and the out of town
members will probably start for their homes to-
night. No peace proposition has been received and
none made"
Still later he added that member of the board
would go New-York in the night to submit a
proposition. saying that he would be at
headquarters usual tomorrow.
The meeting of the board did not adjourn In
high good feeling yet the members of the board
to making statements supplemental to
that of President Shaffer.
1t stated by of the members of the
board that the adjournment had left matters prac-
called, and that the strike must go before,
leaving arrangements for possible settlement
through a direct conference with the representa-
tives Of the United States Steel Corporation with
President Shaffer.
To-day completed the first thirty days since the
American Sheet Steel Company the American Tin
Plate Company and the American Steel Hoop Com
pany began their attempt to start the union plants
of the country in the face OF the Amalgamated As
sociation strike. Aside from the Clark plant of the
Steel Hoop. Company and the Upper and Lower
Union mills of the Carnegie company, where the
attempt to render the strike effective a
success. the three companies have in the month
succeeded in placing in operation seventysix mills
In the union plants single turn. Indications
that the number will be doubled within the next
ten days. If the strike is not settled before that
time.
While the Tin Plate company has put up the most
aggressive fight of the three, the Steel Hoop COM
trct, and in the West the Sheet Steel Company has
met with the larger success. With the results
known in these preliminary skirmishes at few
chosen points all three companies have now pre-
pared to carry the fight into every union plant
without further delay. . G.
At McKeesport this evening the strikers, follow
ing up their advantage of the morning in keeping

great numbers and warned the few men who
