PITTSBURG, I'a., July 13. After a three
days' session tho conference between rep
rcsentatlves of thu American Sheet Stool
company, American Hoop company and
American Tlnplutu company, subsidiary
companies of tho United Suites Steel cor
poration, and the gcnoral executive board
of tho Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, ndjourncd finally '.t
6 o'clock this evening without rritchlng an
agreement. In less than an hour President
Shaffer of the Amalgamated association had
wired tho following order to nil the Amal
gamated lodges In tho tin plate, steel, hoop
and sheet Btccl mills of tho country:
Notify your men that the mill Is on
trlku and will nut work on Monday, July
IS.
President Shaffer says that for tho pros
cnfMho three companies named will be
affected, but that later all the union men
In tho employ of thu Federal Steel company,
National Steel company and National Tube
company may be called out It It Is found
necessary to resort to extrcmo measures to
win tho fight. At tho start It Is claimed
45,000 skilled workmen, 30,000 unskilled
men and Indirectly many thousands more
will bo affected.
After tho ndpournmont of the conference
thu following Btntcmcnt wns given out by
tho officials of tho three companies Inter
ested: Com pit u lea' Mint fluent a.
"Tho conferenco between thn Amalga
mated association and the Sheet, Hoop and
Tlnplato companies failed to come to an
Agreement becauso thu Amalgamated as
sociation did nut receded from its original
position, which was that tho three com
panies interested should sign for all tholr
mills regardless of whether theso mills in
tho past had belonged to tho Amalgamated
association or not. The manufacturers did
not refuse tholr rights to organize, but
having many men In tho mills not in tho
Amalgamated association, who did not wish
to become association men, claimed they
must respect these men In their wishes as
well as thoeo who aro members of the as
sociation In order to"offct,.itifonjprojnie
tho manufacturers offered to sign tor Sev
eral mills which have always la the past
been out of tho association. No compro
mise was offered by tho Amalgamated as
sociation. The American Tlnplato com
pany has only ono nonunion mill. Tho
company requested tho prlvllego of making
a special scnlo, for this mill and Blgn the
same. This was refusod nndi the company
was given to understand that tho men In
all tho tin mills would bo called out, even
though the scalo has been Blgncd for all
other tin mills. Tho privilege rcquostcd
ahovo would Bottle nil differences between
tho Tin Plato company and tho Amalga
mated association.
AninlKamntctl Men Serene.
It waB after 1 o'clock tonight when tho
members of the oxccutlvo commlttco of tho
Amalgamated association filed downstairs
from tho conference room of the Hotel
Lincoln. Tho members looked unconcerned
and when questioned as to tho result of
tho day's work declined to say nnytning,
They each referred the enquirers to Presi
dent Shaffer, who thoy said was still In
tho conferenco room. A wnlt for nearly
an hour developed tho fact that President
Shaffer had eluded tho newspaper men
and had taken a private exit In departing
from tho hotel. Warner Arms, vice presi
dent of tho American Tin Plato company,
and Vorlt Preston, on behalf of tho Amor-
lean Stool Hoop company, shortly after
ward announced that they had but one
statement to mako regarding tho confer
enco. This wns embodied In tho foregoing
communication.
None of tho officials of tho manufacturing
companies would consent to an Interview
ns to tho nrobablo result of tho strmo.
Thoy would not estimate tho number of
men who would go out on tho order of
President Shaffer and said tho facts In tho

tho foundation of tho Kussell dlvorco was

the Nuvada court wus deceived on this
point the cntlro fabric topples and tho do

every lawful suit Is a bona fide service of

KANSAS CITY, July 13. A special to tho
Star from St. Joseph, .!o says: A. W.
Brewster, an ctlurney of this city, has re
ceived a draft for $250, sent to him by Pat
Crowe, from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Tho amount was sunt to the lawyer to pay
an attorney fee Crowo had been owing a
number of years.
Crowo's name has been connected by ul
legation with the kidnaping In Omaha of
the young son of Edward Cudnhy, tho
packer, who paid a ransom of $25,000 In
gold to recover his boy.
Several years ago Crown was under
arrest In St. Joseph on the charge of train
robbery. Ho employed Brewster, who Is
a statu senator, to defend him. The charge
was Anally dismissed, as the caso was not
a strong one.
A few days niter tho kidnapers secured
the money from tho packer, Crowo disap
peared from Omaha. Ono thing and another
led tho olllccrs of that city to believe that
he was tho leader of tho kidnapers. Crowe
formerly worked for Cudahy. Ho had n
long criminal record and had been In tho
penitentiary. He has not been seen since
about a week after tho night of the kid
naping on December 18, 1000. No lettor
accompanied Crowo's draft to Attorney
Brewster, but It Is supposed that Crowe has
been in South Africa several months. Theru
Is still a roward of $30,000 offered for tho
arrest of tho kidnapers, $25,000 put up by
Mr. Cudahy and $5,000 by tho state of Ne

drouth that Is burping up vegetation In
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Indian

City weather observer says:
"Tho atmosphere Is so uniformly heated
to such a great altitude that It makes
precipitation almost Impossible. Clouds
may gather and a few drops ot rain may
fall, but tho lower stratum of air is so hot
that tho raindrops would bo transformed
to vapor In passing through It.
Thoro Is no relict lu sight nnd tho sit
uation becomes worse each hour. Several
days ago one-fourth of a corn crop In Kan
sas was hoped for. Tho estimate now must
bo still further reduced. Prayer for rain
will bo offered in scores ot churches In
Missouri nnd Kansas tomorrow.
Tho Knnsas City live stock market Is nn
indox to tho situation. The cattle market
has gono through ono of the most trying
weeks In many years. As many feeders as
possible aro holding back their cattle In
tho hopo that rain will succor them. Each

Inovltablo and commission men aro flooded
with letters lndlcntlng that next week Is
tho longest they can hold out. Ruling

during tho last fow days tho commoner
grades ot stock cattlo could not be sold at
