Steel and Tin Workers, adjourned finally -t 6 o'clock this evening without reaching an agreement. In less than an hour President Bhafter of the Amalgamated association h wired the following order to all the Amal gumatod lodges In the tin plate, stecl, hoop and sheel steel mills of the country: tify your men that the mill strike and will not work on Monday 1 President Shaffer says that for the pres- engthe three companles named will be affected, but that later all the union men in the employ of the Federal Steel company, Natlonal Steel company and National Tubs company may be called out it it is found necessary to resort to extreme measures to win the fight. At the start it s claimed 45,000 skilled workmen, 30,000 men and indirectly many thousands more will be affected. After the adpournment of the conference the following statement was glven out by the officials of the three companies inter- ested: fs_on July Companies’ Statements., “The conference between the Amalga- mated assoclation and the Sheet, Hoop and Tinplate companies failed to come to an sgreement because the Amalgamated as- soclation did not receded from its original position, which was that the three com- panies interested should sign for all their mills regardless of whether these mills in the past had belonged to the Amalgamated assoclation or not. The manufacturers did not refuse their rights to organize, but baving many men in the mills not in the Amalganjted assoclation, who did not wish to become association men, claimed they must respect these men in thelr wishes as well as those who are memhers of the as- soclation. In order to-effecy.s ¥omproioise the manutacturers offered to sign for dev- eral mills which have always in the past been out of the association. No compro- mige was offered by the Amalgamated as- soclation. The American Tinplate com- pany has only one nonunion mill. The company requested the privilege of making a special scale for this mill and sign the me. This was refused and the company was given to understand that the men in all the tin mills would be called out, even though the scale has been signed for all other tin mills. The privilege requested above would settle all differences between the Tin Plate company and the Amalga- mated assoclation. gnmated Men Serene. It was after 1 o'clock tonight when the members of the executive committee of the Amalgamated assoclation filed downstalrs from the conference room of the Hotel Lincoln. The members looked unconcerned and when questioned as to the result of the day’'s work declined to say anything. They each referred the enquirers to Presi- dent Shaffer, who they sald was still in the conference room. A wait for nearly hour developed the fact that President Shaffer had eluded the newspaper men and had taken a private exit in departing from the hotel. Warner Arms, vice presi- dent of the American Tin Plate company, and Veril Preston, on behalf of the Amer- ican Steel Hoop company, shortly after- ward snnounced that they had but one statement to make regarding the confer- ence. This was embodied in the foregoing communication, None of the officials of the manufacturing companies would consent to an interview as to the probable result of the strike. They would not estimate the number of men who would go out on the order of President Shaffer and sald the facts in the statement submitted embraced all they had tosay. As soon as the workers reached the headquarters of the Amalgamated asso- clation a statement was prepared and late tonlght President Shaffer made this pub- Me: Presl “On Friday the manufacturers made their first proposition for the settlement of this strike, in which they sald: ‘We agree to unionize the Old Meadow mill in Suottdale and In Salzburg by leaving it to the opinion of the men employed there it such opinion is properly obtained.’ “This proposition was generally dlscussed and this morning before the conference ad- Journed for luncheon the general executive board of the Amalgamated assoclation sub- mitted the following: our request that our scale be sigr ed for all mills owned and controlled by the American Sheet Steel, the American Stoel Hoop and the American Tir Plate companies, and be- lieve that this should be conceded because 1s, in our opinion, reasouable and just We agree, It our scales are signed as stated nt Shaffer's Statement. wlove to classify the Monessen plant of the ican Tin Plate as a special mill and a scalo in accordance therewith, 0 that there shall be a reconstruction of ¢ scale for the mills working hoop and ties exclusively and we also agree 1 our work of organizing mins catside possessions of thc <.wre companies 11 calling out of men, there shall be no ference with the operation of the mills J to or operated by the American el company, the American Hoop my or the American Tin Plate com- during the scale year. \ls agroement I8 to abrogate all con- signed by the men of these com- s In which they agree not to join o connected with the Amalgamated a \tlon or auy other labor organizaiol After lunch we were met with the fol- lowing counter proposition from the manu- factures: ‘We agree to sign the scale for the following sheet mills: The O1d Meadow Rolling mill, Scottdale; the Saltsburg, the Wood mills in McKeesport and the Wells- vills mill [ tract pan 8o unskilled | ‘We hereby repeat| ause the shutting down of plants or | NE 19, 1871.

There is no relief iu sight and the sit- uation becomes worse each hour. Several days ago one-fourth of a corn crop in Kan- sas was hoped for. The estimate now must be still further reduced. Prayer for rain will be offered in scores of churches iu Missouri and Kansas tomorrow. The Kansas City live stock market s an index to the situation. The cattle market has gone through one of the most trying weeks in many years. As many feeders as possible are holding back thelr cattle in the hope that rain will succor them. Each day, however, brings them nearer to the inevitable and commission men are flooded with letters indicating that next week s the longest they can hold out. Ruling prices are the lowest in many years and during the last fow days the commoner grades of stock cattle could not be sold at any price. Recelpts during the week aggregated over 63,000, the heaviest ever known at this season of the year. As compared with the previous week there was an in- crease of 30,000 and 26,000 more than the corresponding week a year ago.
