TALK OCCUPIES A DAY
Conference at Pittsburg Discuss
es the Proposed Steel Strike
Settlement.
TERMS NOT QUITE SATISFACTORY
To the Amalgamated Executive Board
San Francisco Strike Develops
Fight to a Finish.

Pittsburg July 31.-DisappOintme
and apprehension pervaded the air of
Pittsburg last night because of the
failure of the executive board Of the
Amalgamated Association to ratify the
peace proposals arranged at the con-
ference in New York last Saturday
between the national officers of the
Amalgamated Association and Messrs.
Morgan, SchWab and Gary, represent
ing the United States Steel Corpora
ton. When the conference opened 1t
was confidently expected that an
agreement would be reached in a
short time, but after session lasting
from $50 a. N. until 6:30 p. m. the
meeting adjourned without arriving at
any conclusion, so far as known, to
meet again this morning.
Significance of the Delay.
The protracted session indicates that
the board is not satisfied with the pro-
visions of the compromise measure,
and that unless some notifications are
made it's ratification is doubtful. The
opening Of union mills to nOn-uniOn
workmen is the proposal which it is be-
lieved the board hesitates to accept,
and a long-distance telephone be
tween New York and Pittsburg was
worked frequently yesterday to get a
modification of this clause. The work
men hold tDat this would give the mill
owners full opportunity of crushing
the union without a strike, by finding
excuses to discharge union men and
then fill their places with nOn-uniOnists.
Hitch I'm Another Place
Another rock of disSension is said tc
be the retention in their present jobs
of the men who worked as strike
breakers at the various mills during
the strike. 1t is said that these men
have been promised the protection of
the manufacturers in case Of a settle
ment, and that they will not cOncede
their dismissal at the request of the
organization. The workers, it is said.
are willing to declare the mills now
working non-union open mills, but
strenuOusly object to having all the
mills of the combine classified as open
mills.

Eugene Y. DebS when asked at his

convention toward him, said:
The term shelved has little or no
significance with me. They may shelve
me if they like. l have no personal
desire to be called a leader. The
action of the Springfield faction does
not discomfort me in the least. 1t is

is not a representative body of social
lists, as the Springfield faction is
largely in the majority and is in a pO-

part of politics, and if the convention
now sitting in indianapolis does not
act in harmony, then the time for So

Withdrew from the contest for the
honor of defending the Canada cup.
The committee in charge of trial races
had given the prize to the'Cadillac, she
having won three races of the seven
run, two other boats dividing the other
four. But the committee was not sat
isfied that the trials had developed
the best boat, owing to the frequent
fukes.
1t then proposed a series of three
more races to settle the matter, the
competitors to be the Cadillac, Illinois
and Milwaukee. There was dissatis-
faction, but when the Illinois was with
drawn it was agreed to run the three
races with the Cadillac and Milwaukee
as the contestants, the first race to be
sailed today.

That Is What Delays Matters at PitTsbur
Terms Are a Dead Secret,

Terms Are a Dead Secret,
Pittsburg, Pa, July 31.-After many
trials and much questioning concern
ing the strike conference, the follow
ing condition is thought to be the real
status of the case The intimation
comes from excellent authority: 1t
is not a hitch over any one clause III
the propositions for a settlement sub
mitted by J. PierpOnt Morgan that is
holding back an early settlement Of the
strike. The real cause Of the trouble
is that there are two pronounced ele-
ments found in the makeup of the
executive board OF. the Amalgamated
association.
The conservative force, headed by
President 7. J. Shaffer, Secretary John
Williams. Trustee John Morgan, and
some Of the older and more experienced
leaders, is understood to look with
favor upon the propositions submitted
The more radical element, which is
largely made up of the aggressive and
young men, is understood to be anxious
to hold out for more favorable terms
The controversy between the members
of the board, while calmly conducted,
it is understood was not near an
agreement when an adjournment was
taken last night.
1t was impossible to gain from the
cOnferrees the slightest inkling Of the
nature Of the propositions that have
been made to the workers. They all
openly pronounce the propositions thus
far outlined in the press as guess
work, and declare that it would be i'm
possible for any one to give the true
statements. If the propositions are
made public the public will see then
how far they depart from the outlines
thus far given. The paramount issue
Of the strike was the unionizing of the
nOn-uniOn mills.

DAILY MAIL And WAR OFFICE.
Harmsworth Threatens to Prosecute BrOd-
rick for Libel.

London, July 31.-SeCrCtary of War
the house Of commons by Colonel
Francis Alfred Lucas, Conservative,
repudiated the suggestion that the Lon
don Daily Mail had been excluded
from the list Of newspapers which re-
ceived official war dispatches because
of its reports in regard to the shoot
ing of British wounded by the Beers
attire the VlakfOntein fight. BrOdrick
added that the reason for the exclusion
of the paper from access to these re-
ports was that twice this year the
Daily Mail had published information
based on confidential official documents
which both the Times and another
journal. for patriotic reasons, had re-
fused to print.
The Daily Mail yesterday morning
characterized as "baseless and mean
Brodrick's assertion, adding that il
Brodrick veEtured to repeat outside of
the house that the paper had stolen Of
fetal documents it would prosecute him
for libel. In the house of commons
yesterday afternoon Swift MacNeill,
Irish Nationalist, made a motion to the
effect that the Daily Nails challenge
was a breach Of the privilege Of the
house. The government leader, Bal
four, assented. But APPARENTLY not de-
string to stir the matter up he said he
thought it was not necessary to press
the motion. MacNeill, however, in
sisted, and the motion was carried
without division MacNeill then
moved that the printer and publisher
be ordered to apear at the bar Of the
house. The motion was defeated
by 2S8 to 100 votes.
