NO HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT.
Big Steel Strike is On and for s.
Bitter Fight

New York, Aug. 3.-Another effort 70
perfect a permanent truce between the
great army OF steel workers and the
giant corporation which EMPLOYS them
has failed, and tonight the conAicting
sides are as widely divided as ever Tho
leaders on either side met here again
this morning, and after a day of fTuit-
less conference and discussion Darted in
spirit that shows no tinge of conciIia-
ton. Neither side would surrender ito
position or concede a point in the dis
puue IN winch 1t is involved. and present
lnuicatlons point to a renewal, with
Vigor, of the struggle.
will Affect Thousands.
Plttsburg, Aug. 3.-There is scarcely
one OF the 100000 employees of the
United States Steel corporation but NAV
ieel the strike. 1t may be that the
American Federation of Labor will call
out It's thousands who handle products
OF the United States Steel corporation.
Inc structural steel workers NAV rpfuse
TO handle steel from mills of the trust
the miners may refuse to dig coal for
trust mills, the railway organizations
may be drawn into the contest, although
that Is not probable Unless it be speed-
lily broken by the United States Steel
corporation the strike and it's results

States.
Fight to a Finish.
Pittsburg, Aug. 3-"It will be a fight
to finish. No quarter will be given.
We are prepared to spend all the money
ana time necessary to wipe out the
Amalgamated association in all of our
mills"
This was the message that came over
the wires from New York to local Off
clals OF the United States Steel CORPORA
tlon this afternoon. Officials we're wait
ing long alter the usual Saturday after
noon closing time to get word from the
conference in New York between the ex-
ecutlVe board OF the Amalgamated asso-
cation aud the general officers of the
Dig trust. Two messages came. The
first stated that the conference between
the workers and Mr.. Morgan had ad
IOurned after receiving Mr.. Morgan's
ultimate decision in the matter in dis
pute. An hour before this time a second
message came to Pittsburg announcing
to the steel officials here that the execu-
tive board had decided that they would
not accept Mr.. MOrgan's terms. The
second message contained the statement
also, that appears above. Some of the
officials heard the message with mis-
givings; Others with uncOnceaIed salts
faction. One of the officials left the
office declaring that he was glad of it.
The fight will surely be carried to a
finish, and the corporation would once
and for all be freed from the influence Of
the union men.

Clash Hourly Dreaded.

Matewan, W. Va. June 25.-Every- thing passed off quietly in the coal fields today. Four collicries put tc work a small force of non-union men. An outbreak was feared, but the strik- CTS seemed content with having forced the Federal marshals to leave the field yesterday. Now that they are gone 1t is expected that they will renew their riots with the non-union miners. A clash Is hourly dreaded and every one will feel better when tomorrow. the day for enforcing the writs of eject ment, shall have passed. United States Marshals F. L. Tetts and A. c. Buff ford are in Charleston holding con- sultation with Governor White. Since the Sheriff has officially summoned the militia, it is thought they are there for the purpose of pleading in their own behalf.

 saThe article concerning 'Melp Stone published in The Editor and Pub fisher two weeks ago, reminds me, per men of Park Row. ''of an incident said one of the experienced neWspa- that occurred soon after he was made managing editor of the Post. MT Stone sent correspondent to cover the execution of a murderer who had committed a particularly atroclous crime. The correspondent had been instructed to send in graphic ac- count of the event. with all minor de- tails well worked in.
 ''When his story arrived it exceeded even Mir Stones hopes in picture verbiage, and was played up promi- nently with 'scage' headlines. It made a sensation, ,A but not circum- stance to the sensation felt by MT Stone when he read his contempo- raries of the same date. He then found that the murderer had been un- expectedly reprieved and that the hanging did not take place. His cor respondent later in the day verified this statement in a laconic telegram, announcing his resignation.
 ..For once Stone was stumped. But not for long. In the next issue of the Post the announcement appeared that the Post correspondent had been forced to witness it from distance through the medium of telescope. He had prepared his story in ad- vance and was only waiting for the drop to fall to put 1t on the wire.
 with his glass he had seen the vic- tim ascend the gallows. had seen the moose arranged and had seen him suddenly disappear. He had then bolted for the telegraph office The fact was that the reprieve arrived at that critical moment. and the sudden disappearance was simply the mur- derer's return to his new lease of life" Editor and Publisher.
