Shaffer tu about 30.000. and press the grand
toUl to something over 70,000. Thousands
of nun out huve found nthur work and the
exact number now Idlu Is unknown. The
Amalgamated association Is orRuulilng a
scries of employment bureaus ami plans
to plnco many inorr of the Idln men. Prea
lUint Shaffer announced today that after
September 1 Idln Amalgamated men would
receive slrlko benoflta of $1 a week apiece
and that some provision would be made for
tneu outsldo ot the organization,
Wollsvllle, Hyde Park. Painters. Clarke,
Lindsay A McCutchcon and the Orescent
works, the bIx properties opened part or
I i full with nonunion men since the strike
began, moved along toduy nt usual, An
other crew has been secured for Palmers'
mill. The other United HtatcB Steel prop
ertlca unnlfected by the trlkc were, also
running without Interruption.
President Shaffer and nil of his official
associates except Anslstant Secretary M. V.
Tlghi) were at the strike headquarters,
whero a series of conferences were held
during the day. Mr. Shaffer discussed the
situation rather freely.
When asked If Trustee, Pierce had gone
rnst to' do some organizing he said: "I
will not talk on Mr, Pierce's trip."
"Will ho go to Dimcniuvlllc?" was usked.
"The Amalgamated association never
siiURljt tp organize those men. They sent
word for uh to send an orgjtwvr there.
Wo did so, with tho result that Is already
known. Wo have not troubled ourbdves
nbout them since. They do not amount to
n row of pins and Mf they com-.' Into the
lisiiorlntlon It must bo voluntarily I have
received r telegram from Tlgho stntinit that
i ho Jollet men arc out and that ho will go
to Milwaukee."
No Word from Davis.
"rliiM- you nr.y word from Vice l'n.sldtnt
lJals of Chicago?" was asked.
"1 hJvo not hoard from Unvls and do
,v.')t know his position. know wlia' la
'i-oln,s on tu ovory 'mill. In llj co.intry and
nm bullsf.e.t with the situation. I have
leportn from th6 local mills supposed to
be In operation and of their falluro In
turning out work, It looks nice to ate
the flumes of these mills cotng up, hut
our men know there Is nothing g61ng on
In thorn that amounts to anything, Tlghe
has tho right ,o bring back the charter
of western, lodges where the men refuse "to
go out. nnd will do so If necessary. If I
worn ono of those men I would be ashamed
of myaelfi."
Discussing strike benefits today, President
Shaffer said;
"Under .our constitution our men will on
September 1 commence to recolvc $1 a week
apiece. Tljero Is no provision for men out
side of the, Amalgamated, but they will ha
looked afjer."
Referring to tho slatus of tho men In the
western lodges who .have refused to strike,
President Shnlter declared hlmtelf today as
follows:
"Tho nun of the Chicago lodges of the
Amalgamated association who refused to
obey .the strike order-will' be placed without
the pale of the organization. Notices wilt
be sent (o all the lodges to receive no com
munication from the.ni and to send nono to
them and to accept no, working cards from
them. Such notification will bo given nt
once. A date will be set nt which Inter
course must ceuse, tho date to cover the
rccont defection of the men."
I'JyiuM'U More Men to Ciinir Out.
"Tim spread of, the -etrlke," said Presi
dent Shaffer- tonight, -."has not surprised
n(e. Jt U not oven uj to my expectations,
lly this I do not mean that I am disap
pointed by the way tho men hava corns
out, but that I am certain more will come
out In a short time. All those who are
out are going to stay out, too. There Is
no reason for believing that the men in
McKersport will break nwsy from their
present position, In spite of the storlos to
thu contrary. Other mills will bo closed
before ninny days anil tho spread of the
strike will go mi with tho samo regularity
that has characterized It In the past,"
In reply to queries regarding the re
ports received from Assistant Secretary
Tlghe, now in Milwaukee, .Mr. Shaffor
said:
"I Uo not look for nny statement from
Mr. Tlgho until he returns home. Ho will
be too busy while on his trip to devote
nny time to making any reports. Wo will
know;moro nbput the feeling of the men
In the west when a direct statement Is
mado from him.
"Any breuch of tho peace that has thus
Mr taken place since the strike began
has tint come from us, but from the other
hide. We have obeyed all laws and coun
beled peaceful menus In tho conduct of
tho strike. If tho.trust continues to openly
transgress the laws as It has In Moncssen
we cannot be held responsible for the con
sequences," Mr. Shaffer then went on to describe
hnw the Amalgamated men had had cvory
inducement to riot and resisted tho tempta
tion. In one or two Instances tho matter
had been referred to the authorities.

"The men have been Insulted, aggravated
Atid abused and have remained silent under
this treatment." he said. "They have re
garded every attempt on the part of thoio
cngigcd to draw them Into a riot as direct
ngentH of the trust, who were seeking this
very means of getting the police and militia
to old them In fighting the worklngmen."
President Shaffer's confidence In the
unionism of the Dayvlew men nt Milwaukee
was of the positive kind, r.nd he felt sure
they would romc out ns noon as the true
situation was explained to them, as did the
Jollet workers.
Advlce.i from Youngstowo show that by
unanimous action tho steel workers of the
American Steel Hoop company decided that
they would not attend the meeting asked
for by the ofllclnla of the company. The
men rny they arc familiar with the propor
tion vhlch tho conference offered anil did
nnt need to be notified by the ofllclnla of its
terms.
Ocncr.il Superintendent I. W. Jenks of
thu American Steel Hoop company tonight
expressed regret that the men refused to
meet the olllcluls In conference, as ho be
lieved certain misunderstanding eould have
been explained. He said further that under
no circumstances would his company sign
the scftlo of the Pittsburg mill, but reiter
ated the statement that It stands ready at
nny tlmo to sign fo.- th'e mills of this dis
trict which Includes the two plants here
nnd thtsc nt Olrard, Wnrren and Green

of tho company to start the mills ot this

In 18118. President Shaffer .conductod-tho
formalities of its organization and ' tho
statement proceeds to say:
"lMndlng at that tlmo that the Interests
of the tin men "were Identified wlthrtho
members of the- Amalgamated association
we solicited Shaffer to enter nn alliance
to strengthen both organizations. Shaffer
objected. He told us that the Amalgamated
association could uot enter Into nny de
fensive compact which would obllgato tho
association to violate either tho spirit or
the letter of its signed, agreements. He
snid he could only promise the 'moral and
flnmeliU' aid provided In tho laws of the
American Federation of Labor, for which
he acted .when ho organized the tlnplate
employes. We finally got our scale adopted
without nny assistance from the Amal

that one year ago the Amalgamated asso

nnd that at Conncllsvtlle and Cleveland
tho Amalgamated men aided tho company
in filling the places of striking tinplato
workers.

tho time at which an agreement will bo

securities, tho property of the Onrhardt
Tcrllndcn company at Dutsbiirg, of which he
