without agreement How the members of the board feel Is known to no man on the outside The second day of the executive boards deliberation was notable for many rumors in circulation and for the conspicuous dearth of results The absence of three of the principal members of the board from the sessions to day gave rise to the story that the members were divided in their Ideas of the peace proposals and that in order to satisfy all Secretary Williams had been sent to New Tork to seek modifications at the hands of Morganand Schwab While Assistant Secretary Tighe and Trustee Morgan had received a commission to vlsitSenator Hanna to secure his aid in bringing about an amicable arrangement Nothing tangible could be learned concerning these supposed trips however and all talk In

Secretary John Williams Assistant Secretary Tighe and National Trustee John Morgan were not present It was subsequently learned that the three absentees were out of the city and had taken their departure on early trains It was said later that they were expected to be present when the board shall be called together to morrowmorrow morning Where they had gone and what their mission was could not be learned President Shaffer was called to a secret conference with some one supposed to be a representative of the United States Steel Corporation during the early morning hours At noon the

meeting and will not be out of the city to night With this statement President Shaffer left for his home All of the other officials who were at the meeting during the afternoon declined to talk strike They hurriedaway to avoid meeting the newspaper men About the entrance of the headquarters building groups of men were gathered all afternoon Some were members of the Amalgamated Association who were on strike and interested in the proceedings Others were private detectives who watched every move made by President Shaffer and other leaders of the Amalgamated Association Shaffer said he knew nf no reason for his movements being watched but became deeply interested In the state of affairs when told of it Confidence was felt in some circles today that the strike would eventually be settled on the
