Tb attendants informed the doctor that

thathahad been Very hard to manage. His
2 mind, which had been gradually returning,
had again given way, and he could neither

To a question as to whether he until‘ipulul

Panama, April lt—A meeting of the
conference committee who represent the
striking employee of the Edgar Thompson
Steel works was held at Braddock yesterday,
at which, it is reported, it was decidedto
ask for a conference with their employer: to-
day. Father Hickey and Rev. Boyle were
present, and indorsed the action of the
oolnmittee. in case the Pittsburg members
of the firm decline to meet them a committee
will be sent to New York to confer with Mr.
Carnegie personally. lt isstated that at the
meeting the committee decided not to ask
for the eight-Mr system, but to accept Mr.
Camegie‘s proposition as a whole. Father
Hickey says that the circular attacking him»
nelf and Andrew Carnegie was named solely
to injure him,andwas started tocreate a
feeling of difference between the Protestants
and Catholics and the union and non-ulna
men.
