tonight the chances of his recovery
are so greatly improved that all of
those who have kept the patient vigil
at his bedside feel strongly that his
life will be spared.
The developments of last night and
today were dreaded, but hour after
hour passed and the distinguished pa-
j tient, struggling there beneath the
watchful eyes of physicians and train­
ed nurses, showed no unfavorable
signs. Five times during the day
the doctors and surgeons assembled
for consultation, and each time the
verdict was unanimous that what

I ter.
Not the slightest premonitory symp­

the confidence expressed In the Presi­

Amalgamated Association adjourned
this evening without date and without
accepting any of the peace propositions
that have come indirectly from the

semi-official report is that the propo­
sition secured for the Amalgamated
Association, through the intervention
of the representatives of the National
Civic Federation, was unsatisfactory,
and that the matter of settling and ar­
ranging was left for Mr. Shaffer. The
board, in its sessions of three days,
has been clamoring for a settlement,
but satisfactory terms and means were
net at hand, and the sessions resolved
themselves into an informal discus­
sion of the situation. At the close ot
the meeting of the National executive
board this evening, President Shaffe.
declared he had no statement to
make, but subsequently said:
“The board has adjourned, and the
out-of-town members will probably
leave for their homes tonight. No
peace proposition has been received
and none made.”
Still later he added that he nor no
other member of the board would go
to New York during the night to sub­
mit a peace proposition, saying he
would be at headquarters as usual to­
morrow.
The meeting of the board did not
adjourn in high good feeling, yet the
members of the board were averse to
making statements supplemental to
that of President Shaffer. It was stated
by some of the members of the board
that the adjournment had left matters
practically as they were before the
meeting had been called, and that the
strike must go on as before, leaving
arrangements for a possible settlement
through the direct conference of the
representatives of the United States
Steel Corporation with President Shaf­
fer.
