STEEL STRIKERS
ARE DISPLEASED
No Word Received by Them
From President Shaffer.
MATTERS IN A BAD SHAPE
DISAPPOINTMENT AND ANGER
MANIFESTED BY MANY.

Pittsburg, Sept. 15-Matters pertain
ing to the settlement of the steel strike
are in a very unsatisfactory state to-
night. While the Geographic notice was
sent out last night by Secretary VIII
Jams declaring the strike at an end, it
cannot be learned definitely that the
official order has been issued by Presi-
dent Shaffer. Some of the local strik-
ers declare they have had no such no
tice.
President Shaffer arrived home this
morning but denied himself to callers
Tonight his wife said he had received
a short letter today calling him out of
the city and he cannot be located.
The members of the advisory board
said tonight that the official order call
ing the strike off has gone out and
that the men generally will be at work
tomorrow or within a day or two.
What is considered the real condi-
tons of the settlement. though not Of
ficially announced, are that the settle
ment was made only for the three COM
panieS in dispute-the American Tin
Plate, the American Sheet Steel and
the American Steel Hoop-and these
companies are allowed to retain as nom
union all mills started in any kind of
shape since the strike order went into
effect The mills that were completely
tied up by the strike are TO remain
under the Amalgamated scale. Moth
ing was SAID concerning the National
Tube, the Federal or National Steel
companies. The settlement means a big
loss to the Amalgamated association,
but leaves 1t still a strong organiza-
ton.
1t seems impossible tonight to make
an estimate of the number of men who
viii return to work tomorrow The
threat is openly made that the tin
plate workers will withdraw from the
Amalgamated association and form A
separate union of their own. but what
the outcome viii be cannot be told for
day or two All of the plants that
have been idle are apparently ready
for an early start. Most of them re-
sumo tomorrow if the men report.
There is much disappointment and
anger among the McKeesport strikers.
The leaders refused to credit the pub
lished report until late tonight. but
partially admit now that ali is lost for
Mckeesport. They blame President
Smarter for not notifying them TODAY
according to promise, and still look for
official notification tonight. 1t is moi
believed that resumption will be at
tempted until after President McKin-
I ley's funeral Amalgamated workmen

ton lodge of the tube workers voted
the same way today
