Conference of Labor Officials at
Pittsburg: Yesterday Xo Slate
rial Alteration In Situation.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 23. A summary of
the "steel strike situation tonight shows
about the following condition:
This city Star mills, two mills running;
strikers say Ave more men left the plant
and joined their ranks, but management
positively deny the statement Painter
mill, four mills running; fires lighted in

Irondale Mill running with the same
force as yesterday, making two turns and
assurance from the manager that more

"VYellsvIUe Situation unchanged; 12 mills
running.
Lisbon Fires started In tinplate plant:
Manager Evans says everything Is In
readiness for a start soon, with plenty
cf men; strikers voted today to remain
out, and the mill is strongly picketed.
Wheeling Everything tied -up and no
apparent indication of any attempt to
start any of the mills.
Ecllalre National Steel Company's Idle
r!ant will, It is said, be started early
next week by a full force of men.
No late advices have been received by
the Amalgamated officials from either
Bayvlew or Joliet, and the situation at
those points is considered by them to bo
unchanged.
Conference of Strike Leaders.
The conference of the labor leaders at
the offices of the Amalgamated Associa
tion was the leading feature of the strike
Juring the day. The officials of the or
ganization all seemed pleased with tin1
way things were moving, and one said
somewhat mysteriously:
"In another six days you will see a de
cked change in the strike that will tell
with greater effect on the trust and aid
in hurrying the final outcome of the strug
gle." Just what this change is to be was not
ennounced, but it was inferred strongly
that the coming event hinged upon the
conference that was taking place. Two
resfions were held by the conferees be
I !nd closed doors. After the adjournment
cf the first session, none of the partici
pants would give out any information of
the proceedings further than to say that
tie leaders had been called together for
the purpose of having the situation thor
oughly explained to them and to have
sme action taken looking to the aid of
the strikers morally and financially by all
of the organizations represented.
There were present at the conference,
"besides the Amalgamated officials, John
illtchell, president of the United Mine
workers of Ameiica; J. W. Jenks, mem
ber of the Industrial Commission; Grand
Master Sargent, of the Locomotive Fire
men; Ralph M. Easley, secretary of the
National Civic Federation, and Henry M.
White, general secretary of the United
Garment Workers. The conference ended
tonight about 9 o'clock and the conferees
left for their homes.
At the recent meeting of the general ex
ecutive board of the United Mineworkers,
the sympathetic strike project was voted
drwn, but It was unanimously voted to
rIi e the steel strikers financial and moral
r ss.stance. It was for the purpose of as
certaining what aid the miners are able to
jrie the association. It is said, that the
meeting was held today. It Is said that
the organized miners will be asked to re
fnse to load coal to be used In mills of
he steel corporation, which are now be
re operated bv nonunion men. The min
ers' organisation, it is claimed, has a
substantial treasury and -would be able to
support all the men thrown out of era
rlpvment if the plan suggested is carried
out.
A ConceftIon Proposed.
The Leader says that at the labor con
ference this afternoon Professor Jenks
rroposed that some Interested persons
shoi'ld convey to C. M. Schwab, president
cf the United States Steel Corporation,
the information that a settlement might
' effected, provided the Amalgamated
officials should sign the wage agreement
f r the mills controlled last year. The
mills that have been organized since the
Milwaukee convention are to be operated
en a provisional scale. Those that are
fully organized will ask for the Amalga
mated wage scale and conditions. Those
that desire 10 stay out of the organiza
tion shall have the privilege of doing so.
Tiis last concession was made by the
Amalgamated Association on account of
the Vandcrgrlft workers holding aloof
from the association. Had this mill and
fcral others in the Klsklmlnetas and
Youghjogheny Valleys Insisted on having
un'on conditions, the concession would
r."it have been made by the steel workers.
Professor Jenks will go East tomorrow
crd "will use his own time to see Presi
dent Schwah.
When President Shaffer was seen at
I1 is home tonight he said, with reference
to today's meeting, that it was not a
preconcerted one, but "Just happened."
President Mitchell, he said, had tele
graphed him that he would like to see
him today on his way home from the
Eastern coal fields, and soon after his ar
rival the other gentlemen made their ap
pearance. During the meeting, however,
the whole strike situation was discussed.
There was nothing of Importance accom
Tshed. Mr. Shaffer said no arrangement
had been made to submit a new peace
I reposition to the corporation or a fur
tber proposal for arbitration, adding, how
ever, that he did not know what individ
ual action the conferees might take in
the future. No mention was made of the
miners or other trades taking sympa
thetic action. It is believeH another effort
will be made to Induce the steel corpora
tion to enter another conference. The
specific means to bring this about would
not be discussed by any of today's con
ferees. Prodnct of the Trust Mills.
The strikers make the claim that little
actual work has been done by the com
bine in any of Its plants since the strike
began, and that the product that has
been turned out has been of an Inferior
character. Notwithstanding this, the steel
officials declare themselves well pleased
with the condition of affairs, and say all
the mills started are working satisfactori
ly and turning out good product
The postponement of the attempt to
start the Demmler plant of the American
Tinplate Company -until next week, the
officials of the company say. was for the
purpose of putting the plant in perfect
order before the men started to work.
They say plenty of men will be on hand
v. hen the time comes to operate the plant.
Attention was called to a former state
ment made by the officials of the corpora
tion that while delays would necessarily
occur In operating the idle plants. It
would not deter the officials from proceed
ing along the same lines and that they
were prepared to spend all the time and
money necessary to fight the union and
make all of the plants nonunion In the
end. The combine has arranged its pro
gramme of centralizing operations and
promises now to make these centraliza
tions in nonunion strongholds.
In combine quarters It is said that the
Amalgamated arbitration proposition was
refused because the issue has gone too
far and the strike had been extended
to mills Innocent of the original conten
tions and bound to wage contracts.
The bar mill at the Painter works did
not start today as announced. Fires
were lighted In the furnaces yesterday,
but it "was later decided to postpone re
sumption until Monday. The strikers
claim that the delay was caused through
the failure of the management to get a
sufficient number of skilled men. Officials
of the company say arrangements have
been perfected for the operation of the
entire plant next week.
The Star tin plate mills, which started
up yesterday, were running two mills
full, and more men are expected in a
few days, when the manager says the oth
er departments will be started up. There
was no disorder about the works. About
60 machinists, bricklayers and helpers
were working at the Pennsylvania Tube
plant, which was the scene of disorder
early In the week, but there was no trou
ble.
Cards of Caution.
Maglstrato McGarvIn's announcement
that the strikers would not be permitted
to interfere with the men at work, or
congregate on the streets, has had the
effect of keeping the men at their homes.
Cards of caution were distributed among
the men In the vicinity by the organiz
ers, Fred L. Schwartz and Cal Wyatt, of
the Federation of Labor, while two in
terpreters worked among the foreigners
explaining that disturbances were injuri
ous to their cause. Four policemen were
on duty at the mill throughout the day
and aided in the missionary work.
A dispatch from Martin's Ferry, O., Is
that, the strikers have discovered that
at least three members of the union have
been -won to the side of the employers,
and that they will probably take a hand
in starting the Canal Dover tin plate
mill. They are all skilled men, and they
are being closely watched.
The strike Is beginning to be felt in the
coke regions. There was a slump in pro
duction last week of over 27,000 tons. This
week It will likely show a still further
decrease. Some of the smaller plants
are scheduled for a four days' run.
Mayor R M. Black, of McKeesport, who
left rather mysteriously last Saturday
night for the East, returned this morn
ing. He refused to be interviewed re
garding the report that he had been
summoned to New York by the United
States Steel Corporation regarding the
stand he had taken on the McKeesport
strike. One of the first acts he did after
arriving at his office was to give the
strikers a permit to parade tomorrow.
An Interesting rumor reported from
New Tork today was that circular let
ters have been sent to all the presidents
of labor unions by the Amalgamated As
sociation, asking what each would or
could do to assist the steelworkers in
their strike. One of the replies, it is said,
was received from P. M. Arthur, head'of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers. It is alleged that in this reply
President Arthur said his organization
held contracts with the various railroads;
that they were also bound to move the
United States mail, and that the organ
ization could make no distinction between
the United States Steel Corporation and
individual shippers.

The annual dinner tonight was attended
by most of the members of the associa
tion in the city. A large number of toasts
were responded to. W. H. Hensel, of
Pennsylvania, was toastmaster. The most
notable response was by Judge K. Town
send, of the United States District Court,
of New Haven, Conn., who originally de
cided the Porto Rlcan tariff cases, the
decision of which by the Supreme Court
has caused so much comment. In his ad
dress tonight he said: J-
"Mr. Chairman I was greatly Interested
yesterday In the satlricial, though forcible,
address of the eminent gentleman from
Maine. I honor his courage, ability and
independence, but, sir, I listened in vain
throughout the entire address for any
statement of law or fact to support his
assertion that the decision of the Supreme
Court was contrary to precedent and au
thority. From the time of the Louisiana
purchase, In 1S03, down to the treaty of
Spain in 1S9S, the treaty-making power
of the Government has exercises the right
to deal as it saw fit with the status of
the inhabitants of ceded territory, and,
as Mr. Justice Brown says In his opin
ion, the statutes passed in pursuance of
the Louisiana purchase show the view of
Congress that a discrimination in favor
of foreign vessels trading with the ports
of a newly acquired territory Is In viola
tion of the clause of the Constitution that
declares that no preference shall be given
to the ports of one, state over those of
another. The same practical construction
was put upon the Constitution in the case
of the purchase of Florida, and in the
annexation of Hawaii.
"Now, gentlemen, 1Q0 years ago, tle
Supreme Court of the United States said
that contemporaneous construction, espe
cially when long acquiesced in, was very
strong if not controlling, with reference
to the provisions of the Constitution. In
an Insurance company vs. Cauier, Chief
Justice Marshall expressly left open the
question whether any act of Congress
was necessary to incorporate the Inhab
itants of newly acquired territory. For
100 years we have acted on the theory that
such act of Congress was necessary, that
the Imposition of different rates of du
ty was not in violation of the Constitution,
and In our Civil War we stamped out
the heresy that the Constitution followed
the flag.
"And so, gentlemen, I rejoice in this
great decision of the Supreme Court, that
the frnmers of the Constitution must have
intended that this country should not
come forth born as a cripple Into the fam
ily of nations, but that she should pos
sess all the essential attributes of sov
ereignty which would enable her to gov
ern her possessions according to the best
Interests of the American people, and sub
ject only to those prohibitive provisions
of the Constitution which guarantee pro
tection against interference with natural
rights."
Continued Increase In both Exports
and Imports.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. A continued
increase in both the export and import
trade of the Philippines is shown in a
comparative statement compiled at t'ne
War Department, giving the commerce of
the Islands for the seven months ending
January 31, 1901. and 1S00. The total value
of merchandise Imported during the seven
months ended January 31, 1D01, was ?17,
999,167, as against' 512,674,705 for the same
period in 1900, and the merchandise ex
ported was 512,617,359, as against $8,305,530
for the 1900 period. This shows an In
crease of 42 per cent in the value of im
ports, and 52 per cent in export values.
