Disappointment Over Amalgamated Conference in Pittsburg
Pittsburgh observers report deep disappointment as the Amalgamated Association of Iron Steel and Tin Workers failed to ratify New York peace proposals after a long conference with Morgan Schwab and Gary of United States Steel. The union fears open mills and non union workers could weaken the strike, while dissension over “strike breakers” and job protections adds to the tension. The board, tight lipped, adjourned with no clear action and will reconvene tomorrow as reports remain inconclusive.
