They tugged at their pink toes, laughed, waved their chubby Iittle arms, sucked their thumbs, made goo-goo oyes at each other and evidently thought it great fun. One lttle girl refused to be weighed and when a crusty bachelor serving on the committee of arrangements asked her how old she vas, she puckered up her dainty mouth and cried.

The {lluminations on the city hall, The Bee bullding, the court house and numerous other prominent structures were exceedingly pretty.

THREATEN TO FIGHT ON SINGLE HANDED Declare They Will Heed Laughs at Them. PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 16.—It was a tur- bulent day for President Shaffer and the general offictals of the Amalgamated asso- clation. The headquarters of the organiza- tion were crowded today from morning until evening with delegations of sirikers awaiting word from lihe leader resarding the settlement of the etrike. President Shaffer arrived in his office early in the day and remained until 6 o'clock tonight. He had difficulty in seeing all who came and finally arranged to see individuai dele- gations from each lodge under promise that what they learned from him was to remain secrel, except when the eubject was brought before the lodge and in the The callers at the general offices were all mora or less excited and many were deeply incensed. Many of the strikers declarcd they would not respect the order calling the strike off until they were glven full particulars of the settle- ment. Others were calling boldly for the Shaffer and an- other class demanded the withdrawal of thoir lodges from the organization. The most worrying feature to President Shaffer was the presence of newspaper men in the headquarters. He finally ordered them from the bullding. His order was not obeyed, hut on his promise that an ofi- cial statement of the settlement would be given out later some of the men withdrew The statement was not given out after all affer Shuns Public, At 6 p. m. President Shaffer left for his home. He looked neither to the right nor He seemed depressed and wanted to avold everyone. Other officials of the organization busied themseives cir- culating among the angry men and making a plea fof quletness and patience. They insisted that the settlement would not prove #0 bad as reported. None of those who did this work were ready to give any inkling of the terms granted or how it affected the men on strike. Those who were finally permitted to see ‘President Shaffer departed from headquarters looking decidedly dis- pleased and muttering much against what had been told them. Before leaving his office President Shafter announced that he did not think it was necessary to mak: a statement. He sald he was satisfied that none would be forth- coming from the manufacturers, as they had given him mssurances that they would not reveal the conditions of the deal. One of the oficlals other than Mr. Shaffer said it was but natural that mothing would be said about the settlement. He added.that it was galling enough to be beaten, without talking publicly about it. Some Strikers to Fight It Out. A meeting of the tin workers of the Star mills was held during the afternoon and the matter of the strike settlement was taken up. After the meeting the men an- nounced that they had decided to remain out and keep up the strike until they had rd from President Shaffer. They addad that If the settlement was such as to mal the Star mill nonunion they would refuse to return to work and would fight the battle single-handed. The strikers at the Monongahela plant of the same company have taken similar action. When these facts were presented to President Shaffer he only laighed sar- castically. He offered no comment. At the Painter mills the sirikers had taken no decided actlon on returning to work. It had been reported at the wmill that about a dozen old men bad applied for work, tut none had been taken back. The etrikers at the Lindsey & McCutchoon mills applied for work and about a dozen were re-employed. The American Sheet Steel works reported that the old men had returned at Piqua, O., and at the Aetna Standard at Mingo Junction, and that some had asked for work in the Canal Dover mills. In the first three they have started to work. In the Canal Dover works the atnikers were not accepted for the present. ‘The mill is running partly with noa-union nicn and for reasons not offered the offi- clale decided to hold off until Wednesday belore accepting any of the old mea Steel Hoop Plants All Cning. The American Steel Hoop company re- ported of the five plants in Ohio which were {dle all operating today. These plants Included the upper and lower mills In Youngstown and the plants in Warren, Girard and Greenville. These plants are all union and wil' remain so. With the American Sheet Steel company it wan stated that by the starting of the additional union mills yesterday the company was turning out 85 per cent of the normal ton- nage. Before the strikers veturned they were getting out 65 per cent. The reports from the Natlonal Tube hat over 4,000 strikers in ort asked for work there in the various plaats during the day. Of this number about 2,000 were employed. The other 2,000 were not employed, owing to the mills not being ready for them. It is expected that they will all return to werk during the week. The indications that the tin workers will withdraw from the Amalgamated asso- clation shortly and form an independent organization are becoming stronger. Many of the more important workmen are active In suggesting this course and in giving united aid to those men who are standing out in the Star and Monon Outs and In A committee from the coupling tap de- partment in the tube works at McKeesport requested that Superintendent Moyat re- instate the twenty men discharged this morning. He refused, and the couplers voted to stay out in a body. That de- partment was running with & small force tonight. Two thousand five bundred men went in on the night turn at the tube works. The mill will be plcketed. Tonlght it is re- ported many discharges were reported in other departments and the men say they must go back in ody. Unlon lodge of the Natlonal and Shaffer lodge of the Boston rolling mill voted to stay out or Ro back In a body. Superintendent Ayres told them he could only treat with them as individuals. The committee learned from President Shaf- fer that the men could go in or stay out and would be recognized by the Amalga- mated {n either case. If they stayed out they would get strike benefits. Union lolge decided to retaln an independent organi; tion. Many lodges are disgusted with the sympathetic strikes. The majority threat- e0s a local tieup, but it is not believed posatble. Million Wages Lost. As a result of the strike in McKeesport the Wood mill is probably lost to McKees- port and Delmer is lost to the union. More than $1.000,000 was lost Ip wages, as fol- lows: Nine thousand five Bundred tube men $75.000. 900 men out eleven weeks, $185,000; 700 Delmer men out nine 90,000, total, $1,005,000 port from Wheeling tonight says “The scttlement of the steel strike with- out glving publicity fo the terms of agree- ather chaotic state re.

Bellaire men sent a delegation to the Amalgamated association headquarters In Pittsburg today and on their return Chairman Davis stated on the authority of President Shaffer that the Bel.
