DEADLOCK IN The STRIKE |
The Reported Settlement Is De-
MED by Shafer.
VERY LITTLE is EXPECTED,
we,lsville Plant Started with Nonunion
Labor-Employes Refrain from vio-
lence, but Bitter Struggle Is Looked
For--MineIs Out ON Strike.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 19.-"There can
be no settlement of the strike in New
York. The strike can only be settled
by representatives of the steel COM
panies and the officials of the Anal
gamated association. One side can do
nothing without the other The Of
ficials of the combine may have agreed
to settle-and I hope they have-but
we will have to be party to it before
any settlement can be made.
''The reports about the strike being
settled, coming as they do through
brokers, of course lead to the sus-
piciOn that they are circulated for
stock jobbing purposes"
The foregoing statement was made
by President Shaffer of the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers late this afternoon. BY
way Of brokers' wire the report had
come to Pittsburg that a settlement
had been made in New York. The
Amalgamated men do not expect much
from the steel combine officials at
present. Anything that may lead to a
settlement, they think, will have to
come from outsiders. The Ohio state
board of arbitration has been moving,
the members say, since Monday, with
no apparent results. ..ss
Trust Starts wellsvllle Plant.
All eyes were turned to Wellsville,
o., where the general manager, P. F.
Smith of the American Sheet Steel
Company, addressed some men yester-
day, requesting them to go to work
today. The attempt to start the plant
at o'clock was not successful, but
enough men were secured by O'Clock
to operate the two departments. Few
err than fifty hands were at work, all
of them being non-union. There was
little or no excitement about the place,
the strikers keeping away from the
mills Many of them went to Mingo
Junction, near by, where they succeed
ed in closing down the bar mill there
Of the steel hoop combine. Almost I'M
der the same roof is the National Steel
company's plant, but it has not been
affected. ~
American Federation to Aid.
One of the principal events in the
days strike was the offer of financial
assistance made to the Amalgamated
association by the 100000 members of
the American Federation of Labor and
by the American Window Glass Work
ers' association.
Pittsburg, Pa, July 1S.-'tIf," said
| President T.. J. Shaffer, sit is true, as
reported, that the manufacturers are
willing to allow the Amalgamated AS
| ISOLATION to organize the nonunion
plants, then"-and the leader of the
ironworkers grew intensely in earnest
81 say the strike is all off,
President T. J. Shaffer Of the strik-
! ing steel workers, today issues a di-
| rect challenge to the billion dollar
steel trust.
He has put the responsibility square
~ up to the steel trust directors, ii
they have told the truth in declaring
that they are willing that their men
should have an opportunity to join the
union providing no coercion is used
to end the strike.

One Man Wounded in Labor Trouble
at San Francisco.
San Francisco July 1S.-ll1 feeling
between strikers and nonunion men re-
suited in shooting affray at the cor
ner of LIST and Harris streets. F. A. Pa
gendarn and Fred NJ. Cliff, employees of
the Dundon iron works, discharged
their revolvers into a crowd of strikers,
one of the bullets lodging in the fleshy
part of William Dunn's leg. The shoot
ing was provoked by an assault COM
mitted by number of strikers on
Pagendarn and Cliff, who were on
their way home from work and were
followed by strikers, who jeered at
them and pelted them with stones.
Threatening cries were made when
Cliff, who is an ex-scldier, drew his
revolver and called on Pagendarn to
90 the same. They then called on the
strikers to dispense. The reply was a
shower of stones. The two working
men then fired their revolvers into the
air. AS this did not stop the throwing
of stones, they shot into the crowd.
The only man hit was William Dunn,
San Francisco is to be made the
strike center Of the United States, 80
far as the ironworkers are concerned.
A statement made by Thomas L. Will
son, fourth vice president of the Inter
national Association of Machinists,
says: . .... ....
1--WE have the assurance of the inter-
tional grand lodge that the funds will
be forthcoming for a finish fight in
San Francisco Eighty-five per cent Of
the men out on strike in the east have
been granted their demands and 20 per
cent of the men have returned to work
at the old schedule. It is our expecta-
ton that we will call the latter out
within year and have then on an
equality with the others.

HOLD-UP men SHOOT agent
W R. Miller Wounded in Battle
with Thugs.
ONE BANDIT is A YOUTH,
A Ticket Agent OF tho Metropolitan
Elevated Railroad In Chicago Has
Rough Experience with Determined
Observation-Disclosures Them On.

Chicago, July 19.-An attempt was
made to rob the ticket Office OF the
Hoyne avenue station of the Garfield
Park division of the Metropolitan Ele-
waited Railroad company early this
morning, but Agent w. r. Miller, who
had been through a previous expert
ence with robbers, was armed and de-
Tended himself, even after he had been
shot and painfully wounded. At 1880
o'clock two young men and boy ap-
preached Sie ticket station. The boy,
who was about IS years old, was left
on tha outside as a guard. The two
young men entered the station, asked
the time, and then gave the agent 10
cents for their fares. Miller reached
for his rope to ring up the fares, and
as he did SO the two men drew revolv-
ers. One of the men was standing di-
rectly in front of the window, and the
second man was behind his partner.
Shove that money through here
the robber said. Agent Miller made
pretense of reaching for a roll of bills,
but he had revolver hidden near at
hand. The robber reached his unoccu-
pied hand under the window and was
expecting to feel roll Of bills placed
in it when suddenly shot whizzed by
his head. He sprang back from the
window and another shot passed him.
A third shot had been fired before the
robbers had recovered from their sur
prise. Both men emptied their revolv-
ers at the agent, but only one shot
took effect. The bullet struck Miller in
the left arm below the shoulder. When
their revolvers had been emptied the
robbers ran to the rear door and at
tempted to leave the station, but it
was locked. They then ran back to
the door by which they had entered,
but there was no handle on the door
and they were forced to use their
fingers to open it. This gave the agent
a moments time and he attempted to
reload lis revolver He had his
weapon in readiness for a second at
tack when the men got the door open
and ran. Miller followed them and
fired two shots at them. The boy had
taken alarm when the first shots were
fired and he disappeared. Miller then
re-entered the station, counted $63,
and then telephoned to Special Officer
Grandpre and the police of the West
Lake street station. Residents of the
neighborhood had been awakened by
the noise of the shooting and they
gathered around the station. One of
the shots, it was found had passed
through a window Of the station and
through a window in the fiat of Mrs.
When the special officer of the Metro
politan Railroad company arrived he
helped bind the wound of Agent Miller
and later the agent was removed to
the Presbyterian hospital.

in all city departments-that is what
Mayor Harrison has ordered. That
means a retrenchment of 100000 on

such that the cut should have been 40
per cent. That would have meant,
however, a closing up of the city hall
