1901 PRICE TWO CENTS THE STRAIN NOW RELIEVED Feeling of Relief in Pittsburg Over the Steel Strike Order Will Not be Issued for Some Pittsburg Aug that j the suspense induced by the tainty of the outcome in the strike negotiations is over there is less ex- here than there was last week and the people are looking ters squarely in the face Everybody is watching President as it is recognized that from him will emanate the next move in this great Speculation is now rife when he will issue the order for a general strike of ail the Amalgamated men employed in the mills of the United States Steel corporation's plants WILL ISSUE A Although President Shaffer did not sny so he explained not long ago that before an order for a strike was issued a circular letter would he sent out from the general offices to all lodges of the organization ex- plaining the giving a com- plete report of all that had occurred between the members of the tive board and the officials of the of the earnest attempts made by the association to bring about an honorable settlement and their failure This circular will be read in lodge meetings in order that the men in the mills can have a clear and com- prehensive insight of the entire ter and act intelligently With this information in their the men will able to see that the officers have acted carefully arid with an earnest desire to avoid an open ture The strike order will then low and will be taken up without the least misunderstanding on the part of the members STRIKE WILL NOT SPREAD Doubt is expressed in some ters that the strike will spread further It is suggested that the employes of the Federal Steel com- National Steel company and National Tube company are at the present time the strikers main source of and to call them out would weaken the association in its fight by depriving it of the funds necessary to carry on the struggle Another reason given was that the Amalgamated having signed contracts all these com- panies for one beginning with July toy violating these give Mr Morgan and his associates trump cards they would not hesitate to use to the best effects ONE TO END STRIKE ATI intimation has been made that there is still one hope of ending the strike and that is by the return to work of the men at the Lindsay McCutcheon and Clark mills These mills were last year The men went out when the strike was ordered and they are now members of the Amalgamated association In the efforts to secure an adjustment of the their status has been an ing factor It is said that if the men in mills desire to go to work there will be no objection by the association The immediate fect will be to eliminate them from consideration of any basis of ment Such a course would leave the Amalgamated officials in a position to accept Mr Morgan's terms with honor EFFECT IS FELT The steel though but is already being felt in Many leading business houses have found business dropping off so as to make the removal of clerks tive One
