Pittsburg Aug 1 The Commercial Gazette reports the Amalgamated executive board has received a flat refusal from J Pierpont Morgan to reopen the wage conference. The terms are those laid down by Schwab Gary and backers in New York. The board remains united against the proposed terms and waits for Morgan's word.
