Peace Making Fight Shifts. Trade Uncertainty Persists
In Pittsburg August 27 reports say peace talks on the steel strike stall after Amalgamated president T. J. Shaffer disavowed official knowledge of any mediation. Civic Federation efforts continue with possible involvement of Archbishop Lohind, Bishop Potter, Panic Hanna and Seth Low to press for settlement. Meanwhile steel employers claim gains while Amalgamated officials say ground is shifting against the combine. Mayor Black fines John Sheridan $25 and 60 days in the workhouse for strike-related defiance, with other cases heard as strikers push for resolution.
