RUMORS OF A SETTLEMENT
IN OTHER. RESPECTS THERE IS XO
CHANGE IX THE STEEL STRIKE.
Threat Made lo Remove "Wellsville
and Dcnnlion Plants The Short
age of TInpIate.
PITTSBURG, July 19. The strike situa
tion tonight cannot .be termed materially
changed, although many rumors are In
the air to the effect that a settlement of
the troubles Is imminent. Up to 10 P. M.,
none of these reports has been verified,
and the conclusion reached is that no set
tlement is In sight.
At the offices of the Carnegie Company
and at the headquarters of the manufac
turers, the usual silence is preserved con
cerning the condition of business or the
status of the strike.
President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated
Association, however, expresses his entire
satisfaction -with the progress of the
strike, and says that the workers have
gained steadily, while the manufacturers
have lbst continually since last Monday.
He says that the Amalgamated forces
contemplate no change in their pro
gramme, being perfectly satisfied with
the showing their people have made.
President Shaffer sajvs the advance in
wages offered the tube mill workers at
McKeesport today, while seemingly large,
will not bring the pay up to the union
scale.
From the storm, center at "Wellsvlllc,
O., tonight comes word that the striking
mill men in that vicinity spent an uneasy,
restless day. There is no longer any doubt
that the owners of the Wellsvllle plant
of the American Sheet Steel Compan'ftA'Into an agreement for one year from July
have many of the town's largest mer
chants back of them In their fight against
the workmen, and much bitterness has
resulted. Confronted with what 6eems a
certainty that If the present trouble goes
along much further the "Wellsvllle plant
will be lifted and brought across the line
into Pennsylvania, grocers, clothing men
and others who for years have received
the wages of the mill workers in ex
change for goods are now trying to show
the strikers that they are wrong and
foolish in keeping up the fight. Pressure
brought to bear along this line, the strik
ers say. Is energy wasted, as they are
more determined tonight than before.
They are more than angry with the mer
chants. These Wellsvllle men have been
considered excellent workmen, and many
of them hjve money invested in property I
there, so that, should the mill be taken to
Vandergrift, as Is threatened, they would
suffer. They do not believe the promise
which accompanies the threat that the
mill from Dennlson, O., will be moved to
that place in case the present trouble Is
settled.
Mayor Dennis open.y condemns the
merchants for their course in the matter,
any says they are going beyond their
province in trying to Influence the work
men. The plant aV Wellsvllle was running
today about one-fourth full. Eighteen
skilled workmen, together with many la
borers and boys, are employed. Superin
tendent Brookman ays the force consists
of 40 persons.
The reports tonight from Apollo and
Vandergrift, where the Amalgamated As
sociation is making strenuous efforts to
gain recruits, are that the situation Is
practically unchanged, but much uneasi
ness Is felt. No official report has reached
here concerning the situation at Duncans
Tille. The Pittsburg Leader prints the follow
ing in reference to the reported shortage
of tinplate:
"Word was received here today that a
considerable shipment of Welsh plate is
now in the water en route to New York.
It is reported that a portion of this will
come here. If the shortage continues. It
will.be much more costly than the Amer
ican make, but the exigencies of some of
the local consumers are so Imperative that
they will pay no attention to cost. If
long continued, the strike is sure to be
a good ning for the Welsh makers, whose
trade for some time has been in an apa
thetic condition.
"The American TInpIate Company has
made no increase in prices for the stock
it has on hand and cannot well do so on
account of the contracts that It cannot
fulfill, even with the material that Is now
being worked up in the tin houses by the
finishers. This supply will be exhausted
and shipped within 10 days from all plants
when the stoppage In all but the Monessen
plant will be complete. The members of
fhe Tinplate Workers' International Pro
tective Association will stop work. They
have assured President T. J. Shaffer of
their support and will refuse to work plate
that may be attempted to be turned out
by new men. In this way this associa
tion, which has 12,000 members and whose
scale, averaging a 10 per cent advance,
was signed recently, may be drawn into
the conflict."
The billet mills and open-hearth furnaces
at Clark's works. In the Lawrenceville
district, were still working this morning,
but the other departments were idle.
There was a rumor that an effort would
be made Monday to start up all the fur
naces with non-union men. It was stated
at the works this morning that several
strangers had been refused work, the
manager saying he expected'all the other
men would again be at work next week.
As a consequence the strikers have come
to the conclusion that probably a settle
ment may be in sight. Special policemen
were on duty at this mill today, but they
had nothing to do.
At the upper and lower Union mills of
Carnegie the men were engaged at work
as usual, and there was no evidence of
dissatisfaction, notwithstanding the per
sistent rumors of the unionizing of the
mills and a probable sympathetic strike.
It was reported in this district today
that agents of the combine had been
busy among the workers of Lawrence
vllle during the past two or three days,
and that one of them had secured 12 men.
These men agreed to work In the Wells
vllle mill and were taken there today on
an early morning train.
Arrangements are being made for a
monster labor meeting at WhlOe's Opera
House in McKeesport tomorrow night.
Arrangements have been made to have a
special train bring workers from up the
Monongahela Valley as far as Monessen.
Leaders of the Amalgamated Association,
including President Shaffer, will explain
the strike situation. In view of the re
cent advance granted to the McKeesport
workers, great Interest Is being taken in
the meeting, all being anxious to hear the
union officials.
Situation at Monessen.
A dispatch from Monessen, Pa., says:
"It has Just leaked out that a secret
meeting was held Thursday night by the
men of the National Tinplate plant, and
a large representation of workers decided
not to participate in the strike, as they
have obtained an advance voluntarily and
the management agreed to protect them.
The nine men who quit in the hot mill of
the National plant were really discharged,
it Is claimed, for agitating the strike
question. The meeting yesterday resulted
In nothing definite. The girls In the sorting-room
are talking of quitting unless
their demands are compiled with. Their
grievance Is that formerly they had a
helper to stack their tin. Helpers got 83
cents a day and sorters Jl 10. Now the
girls have to do their own stacking "and
get $1 10. while they want $1 25. Forty
girls are employed in this department, and
if they go out, the mill will be badly
crippled."
President T. J. Shaffer said today that
no overtures have been made by the
United States Steel Corporation looking
to a settlement of the strike. He said
that he would not be the first to make
the overtures. President Shaffer has not
yet made a move toward extending the
strike to other plants of the great steel
combine. Extra measures will sot Ukely
bo taken unless It Is first -found to be ab
solutely necessary In order to 'win.
The Leader says:
"Rumor Is busy today that efforts are
being made In New York to call another
conference between the manufacturers
and the workers. It Is said that John
Jarrett, labor secretary of the American
Sheet Steel Company, and Joseph Bishop,
secretary of the Ohio Board of Arbitra
tion, are in New; York in the interest of
peace. At the Amalgamated Association
offices here no information on this point
could be obtained, although several of the
officers smilingly said there would be
many surprises for the public before the
termination of the strike. One of them
stated that he had beep informed that
Jarrett was in New York to procure non
union men for the sheet plants, but he
placed no credence In the rumor. The
visit of Bishop to New York is, however,
significant, as it is known thaf he has
President Shaffer's authority to make ar
rangements fpr a conference, if one can
be arranged, that will give promise of set
tlement of the strike."
VIOLATED THE AGREE3IEXT.
Vice-President Arms Accuses Shatter
of Bad Faith.
NEW YORK, July 19. Warner Arms,
vice-president of the American TInpIate
Company, made the following statement
today to the Associated Press:
"Mr. Shaffer wants these companies to
sign for all the non-union mills. A wage
agreement is a contract entered into vol
untarily between two or more persons
representing certain Interests. Mr. Shaf
fer has no right to ask these companies
to sign any agreement with him for per
sons he does not represent. These com
panies are not antagonistic to labor and
have proved it by entering Into wage
agreements in the past with Mr. Shaffer
for those that he represented. This year
the American TInDlate Comnanv entered
1, but Mr. Shaffer violated that agreement
by calling out the men on a sympathetic
strike when they had no grievances."
President Shaffer's Reply.
PITTSBURG, July 19. President Shaf
fer was shown the statement of Mr. Arms
concerning the non-union mills, and In
reply said:
"Mr. Arms agreed to sign the scale for
Saltsburg and the Old Meadow mill, at
Scottdale, both non-union mills, as did
the other representatives of the United
States Steel Corporation. Mr. Arms is
reported to have said that he would sign
for Monessen. I do not believe that Mr.
Arms ever said that to the public for he
never made any such statement before
the conference or to me privately. But
I know he agreed to sign for two mills.
If he is willing to sign for two, why
not for all? I stated to the representa
tives of the United States Steel Corpor
ation In conference that I represented
the men of Lindsay & McCutcheon's and
Painter's mills and agreed, if they, the
representatives of the company, doubted
my statement, I would prove It by clos
ing those mills almost Immediately."
J. P. MORGAX'S POSITIOX.
He Says There Can Be Xo Compro
mise of the Question.
NEW YORK. July 19. J. P. Morgan
gave positive denial today to the rumor
of this morning that the steel strike had
been settled. He made this statement to
the Associated Press:
"There is not a word of truth in it.
There has been no settlement and there
can be no compromise on such question.
The position of the operating committee
Is perfectly simple and well understood,
and, so far as I am concerned, has my
unqualified approval."
President Schwab, of the United States
Steel Corporation, declined again today
to discuss for publication the steel strike,
a policy which he has preserved since the
conflict began. '
Induced the Men Tiot to Work.
CLEVELAND, July 19.-The hoop mill,
which was to have been started up by
the American Steel & Wire Company, will
probably not begin operations Monday.
John H. Ward, vice-president of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tin Workers for the sixth district,
came to Cleveland today and after a few
hours work among the men who had been
selected to operate the mill, 'persuaded
nearly all of them to refuse to work and
to join the strikers. A number of non
union men present at the meeting made
application to Join the Amalgamated As
sociation. Xetrroen to Tnlce Strikers' Places.
NEW ORLEANS. July 19. Two men
have come here from Pittsburg to get
negro labor to take the places of the
strikers in the steel mills of the United
States Steel Corporation. They secured
50 men and had reports from similar
agents in Annlston and Bessemer, Ala.,
that they had secured 40 men.

MINE FIREMEN'S STRIKE!
COAL OPERATORS COXTIXUE TO
MAKE GAINS.
The Men, However, Are yot Discour
aged, and Declare Their Ranks
Arc Being Increased Steadily.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 19. More
mines were In operation and more coal
was hoisted in the Wyoming Valley today
than on any day since the stationary fire
men's strike began. The gains made by
the companies today were as follows:
The Susquehanna Coal Company, oper
ating all the colliers at Nanticoke, had'
more men at work than on any day this
week, and the output was larger. The
firemen at the Avondale mine of the
Lackawanna Coal Company went back
to their old posts, and work at the mine
will be resumed tomorrow. Number 8
colliery, of the Erie Company, at Pitts
town, resumed work this morning. Two
hundred men are employed there. The
Fettibono mine, of the Lackawanna Com
pany, found it had enough hands to start
up at noon, and operations were resumed.
No attempt, however, was made to re
sume work, at any of the mines of the
Delaware & Hudson and the Lehigh &
Wilkesbarrre Companies.
In the face of this change in the situa
tion the strikers are by no means dis
couraged. In an official statement Issued
this afternoon It is declared that In the
upper anthracite region there is a greater
number of mines Idle than yesterday. The
statement says:
"In compliance with the order of the
United MIneworkers of America to fire
men of their organization to return to
work, but few have complied, and there
Is a steady increase to our ranks. We
hope to have complete organization of the
entire territory. A noticeable attitude is
that of the mineworkers throughout the
upper region in their sympathetic stand
in our behalf. From Hazleton, Shamokln
and Mount Carmel region the men are
fast organizing and will respond to the
call to a man."

LONDON, July 20".nib dinner last
night to Heroert H. Asquith, II, P., by SO
Liberal members of the House of Com

had been looked forward to for a month
as an event that might result in the or

Mr. Asquith's speech had been spoiled by

that body. Mr. Asquith spoke on the dif
ferences with Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-nerman,
and did not mention Lord Rose

his protest against the Liberal party
identifying Itself with the proper group,
desiring that Liberals must recognize the
empire and its needs, and then go in for

Rosebery Explains His Manifesto.
. LONDON, July 19 Speaking at the
City Liberal Club this afternoon, Lord
Rosebery said that his recent manifesto,
In which he declared that tho Liberal
party could not exist under the present'
conditions, has been followed by such an
extraordinary hullabaloo that he felt con
vinced that he had expressed In his mani
festo the clear and exact truth in re
spect to the situation, and not one of
his allegations had been disproved or
challenged. Lord Rosebery said he wrote
the manifesto because, after the meet
ings in Queen's Hall and at the,Refdrnv
Club, unless some clear repudiation of the
statements regarding the war was made,
it would be impossible for the Liberal
party to continue to exist as a sound
force appealing to the highest sympathies
of the country. On the question of the
war his Lordship said his starting-point
was that, in spite of the Jameson raid
and In -spite of the South African com
mittee, the Boers had Invaded the do
minions of the late Queen, and from that
moment, although he had criticised the
methods of the government, yet qn the
main issue, to carry the war to a triumph
ant close, It would have his warmest sup
port. OXE YEAR OF OCCUPATIOX.
Pekin Will Be Surrendered to the
Chinese Authorities August 14.
WASHINGTON, July 19. Commissioner
Rockhlll has cabled the State Department
the following statement of the present
status of tho negotiations at Pekin:
"The diplomatic corps at Pekin is en
gaged in considering the Russian propos
als for the eventual Increase of the tariff
(maritime customs). A solution of the
problem Is hoped for. The Indemnity, fixed
at 450,000,000 taels and 4 per cent Interest,
has been formally accepted and Japan
has waived preferential treatment. The
formal surrender of Pekin to the Chinese
authorities is expected to take place on
August 11."
The date mentioned is the anniversary
of the relief of the legatloners by the in
ternational forces. The Russian proposal
referred to is understood, in substance,
to be an increase from 5 per cent to 10
per cent of the customs duties which the
Chinese Government may collect at the
ports from foreign countries. It Is fur
tneriinderstood that the Increase Is not
to take effect at once and perhaps not
at all. It will depend upon the resources
of China under the existing system. This
proposition Is believed to be much less
objectionable to Great Britain and Japan,
as well as to the United States, than the
original proposition to make an absolute
and Immediate increase of the customs
duties to the extent proposed.

and conviction of Earl Russell the Coun-
tocc tjuccspH was found at Brav and said.
according to the London correspondent of
the World:
"I am sorry for poor Frank. That Molly
Cook Is a dreadful woman. Think of her
bearing my title. Just fancy poor Frank
going to prison In this terrible heat. It
is not true that I am going to marry a
curate. I hope to return to the stage
in the Autumn and am seeking an Amer
ican engagement."
Lady Scott, the Countess' mother, took
another view of the caso.
"The sentence Is ridiculous," said she.
"It should have been five years. Just
Imagine only three months when I served
six months on account of the charge of
alleged libel he brought against me. That
broke my poor child's heart. I hope soon
to see her happily married and then we
may go to America to llye."

Tho Colonel, in degrading Kepezey,
