Chances of Settling the Milk
Handling Conflict
MORE REMOTE THAN EVER.
A Lively Conference Yesterday With
out Any Pleasing Results.
I MATTERS KO BETTER EITHER WAT.
J "A Flopper Turns Up at a Meeting of the
Shippers' Union,
K- AND HElS SOON FIRED FROM THE ROOM
The milk men had a pay old time yester
day .at Imperial Hall, Kew Grant street,
but whether there is any hope for early
peace as between the dealers and shippers,
is bard to say. The meeting this time was
made up of producers (shippers) and
dealers. Both parties stood their ground
well, and hot shot was fired from both
sides.
The conference had been sought by the
dealers, who invited the shippers members
of the Producers' Union as well as inde
pendent shippers to meet them, and, if
possible, arrange agreeable terms for all
parties, shake hands and make peace. Sir.
Peter Hermes, President of the Milk
Dealers' Union, acted as Chairman. Cohere
were over 100 people present After the
President had opened the meeting, Secre
tary John Esplin read the following propo
sition on the part of the dealers:
We. the dealers ot Pittsburg. Soutbside and
Allegheny, agree to nay.the producers 11 cents
per gallon for milk from April 1 to October 1,
and 18 cents per gallon from October 1 to April
1; provided the producers organize themselves
into a union or association for the mutual pro
tection of the dealers and shippers, and agree
to ship to union dealers only. For instance, if
a union shipper is shipping milk to a non-union
dealer and a union dealer wants the milk, he
will ship to him as soon as notified. That the
shippers will bind themselves not to ship to
grocery stores, hotels, restaurants, or any other
retailer, at a less price than the dealers are
furnishing the milk to snch parties.
TO HOLD MILK BACK.
That they will agree to regulate the supply
according to the demand; that is, II the dealers
have more milk than the market calls for, the
shipper will hold back a pro rata share of the
surplus milk.
That, as soon as this agreement is adopted,
all former contracts shall become null and
void.
When this proposition had been read the
Chairman invited a discussion of the same,
as the meeting had been called for the pur
pose of getting at a fundamental basis of
agreement between the farmers and dealers.
There was a silence throughout the hall for
a moment, bnt not for long. Mr. A. M.
Brown, the attorney of the Producers'
Union, from Canonsbnrg, now came for
ward, and in a long speech attacked the
dealers with charges which, he said, the
farmers asked them to explain. He said the
dealers never had a fixed price for the
farmers before; in fact they paid the shippers
what they pleased. He said that the farmer
bad always paid for sonr milk and for milk
which had been alleged to be sour. He
charged the dealers with having stolen the
cream of the milk and having sold it, when
the consumer onght to have had it Then
he continued:
You do not contemplate paying for any losses
in your business, and you never have done so.
You are willing to make all the profits; but the
larmer. who has ever been known as an honest
man, you make him bear all the losses. There
is not a business man, except yourself, who is
not willing to stand some loss in his business.
So things have gone on for years. You paid
the shippers what you liked, and, when you did
sot feel like it, you did not pay at alt Now, is
it not natural that the farmers at last tried to
remedy that evil? They organized themselves
into a union for their own protection, and they
' then invited you to come and meet
them on fair grounds to arrange
a price that would give the farmer at least a
fair profit on his product N ow what did you
do? You ignored their advances, and laughed
at them. What was the result? The farmers
went to Mr. Reed, and as soon as you saw that
'you realized your mistake. Now you were
'Willing to come around. I tell j on Mr. Reed
has been the Moses of the farmers, the one who
led them out of the desert, and 1 say that Mr.
Reed must not go; he has come to stay. The
farmers have made a contract with him, and, as
honorable men, they have to abide by that con
tract 1 am sure yon dealers could not help
treating a farmer with contempt who had gone
back on a contract and how could you trust
such a man as would enter into the contract
you proposed to make with the farmers?
Then he turned around to the farmers,
'and concluded his remarks by telling them:
BEAIi JETJRAX SUGAR.
Farmers, you have been in slavery for 15
years. Mr. Reed has made a contract with
pou to pay you a fair price for your product
(You have won the battle already; therefore
stay by Mr. Reed, stake your faith on him and
you will be all right."
Rev. C. Shields, of Zeiienople, said:
We have come to make peace, and not to de
clare war. Bygones should be bygones. Wo
both made mistakes, dealers as well as
shippers. I do not like to have unfair
charges made against the dealers by anybody.
We have our .Executive Committee nere to
ideal with you. We do not want a monopoly or
'a trust and we do not want a commissioner.
Give us a fair price and we will accept it
Mr. G. Eyrick, a dealer, expressed his
satisfaction with the last speaker. But he
said he did not like the lawyers at all. It
seemed that the farmers had come to defy
them with "lawyers' twaddle." They had
an honest business, and they had come to
meet the larmers honestly and fairly. They
had a contract with farmers before Mr. Reed
had ever seen a cow, and yet the farmers
had cut them off at a moment's notice. If
they meant to defy them, it ought to be war
to the knife. "We have pleity ot milk,
and will get plenty to-morrow. Let the
farmers who have come here to defy us go
away; we don't went them," he concluded.
Mr. Eyrich's speech was regarded by the
dealers as excellent, and some of them said
it was a pity he had not taken hold of
Blackstone instead of a can when he was
young.
Mr. Hemingray (dealer) said milk deal
ers are as honest as Canonsburg lawyers,
and he accused the farmers of coming to
them and having them blackguarded by a
lawyer, when they meant to meet them in
an honest, fairway.
JSOT FOE "WAS, BUT PEACE.
The President requested "those shippers
who want to come to fair terms to stay and
and the others better go and not hinder the
proceedings with a lot of talk." He said he
was sure that they can get all the milk they
want for the whole city of Pittsburg.
This wrangling lasted for over two hours.
Mr. Cook, a non-union shipper, made sev
eral appeals to the Chair to come to busi
ness; but, as soon as there was a chance,
the old grievances were again ventilated.
In the meantime Mr. Reed was called
away, and soon Mr. Brown and the Execu
tive Committee of the Producers Union
left aside from Dr. Irwin, who remained a
few minutes later.
When the others had all departed, the
talking and haranguing kept up until Mr.
Hemingray proposed that a committee of 27
men, con posed of 9 dealers, 9 union shippers
and 9 non-union shippers, be appointed
to meet nd fix the price. This-was agreed to;
but thstime for this proposed meeting
caused 'e trouble. The union shippers
-wanted fl have their Executive Committee
to act for them; but, as they had all left,
nobody knew where they could be found.
At last it was decided to meet on next
Wednesday, and the conference adjourned.
The Executive Committee of the shippers,
after they left Imperial Hall, adjourned
to Reed's place on Liberty street, and dis
cussed things among themselves. They
passed a resolution not to have any more to
do with the dealers, and not to 'meet the
committee appointed for next Wednesday.
Mr. Eeed, however,, stated afterward that
that resolution had been reconsidered, and
that they would meet the dealers after all.
THE IXOPrEB SPEAKS.
An incident occurred in the Executive
Committee meeting of.the Milk Producers
which may be the cause of a serious split in
the union. Rev. C. Shields, of Zelionople
has been marked as "a flopper" by the rest
of the union shippers, because he sells to
the dealers and not to Mr. Reed. He en
tered the meeting in Beed's building, when
the Executive Committee at once passed a
resolution to have him "fired out" The
consequence was that Mr. Shields went
To the reporters he narrated his case in this
manner:
Yes, they say I am a "flooper;" but I trtl you
I'll get even with them! I belong to the Union,
and! will see that this committee is bounced.
They are trying to create a monopoly with Mr.
Reed a Milk Trust and I am against it There
are 75 milk shippers in my district and I will
see that they all hear of this thing to-morrow!
I work a union within their union, and a com
mittee will be appointed to meet the dealers
next Wednesday. I am looking after my inter
est, and not after those of the Executive Com
mittee, nor ot Mr. Reed, either.

LARGE STREET PARADE AKD DRILL

of tho Order.
STATISTICS OP WHAT HAS BEEN DONE
A street parade, participated in by about
2,000 good looking and handsomely dressed
men, with uniforms and regalias sparkling
in the sunshine; a long line of carriages
filled with.patriarchial looking citizens; an
exhibition drill at Lafayette Hall in the
evening, followed by a banquet and right
royal time for everybody, marked the local
celebration of the Seventieth anniversary of
the founding of Odd Fellowship in this
country yesterday.
The first lodge of Odd Fellows estab
lished in this county was in Pittsburg in
182G when the Mechanics' lodge No. 9,
which now meets over Odd Fellows' Bank,
on Fourth avenue, was instituted. Me
chanics' lodge is one of the most prominent,
by reason of tbe prominence of the majority
of its members. The lodge is, also, the
oldest in this part of the State, it being
nearly 63 years since it was organized. The
oldest lodge of the order in Allegheny is
Twin City, No. 241. It was established in
1845. A glimpse of the order's noble record
is given as follows:
Odd Fellowship was brought from England
to this country in 1819. the first lodge of the or
der being formed April 20 of that year in Balti
more. The order, boasts 8.570 lodges scattered
throughout tbe world, including 574,061 mem
bers. These figures do not however, include
the lodges and membership in Germany.-statis-tics
upon the snbject not having been obtained
by the order in tins country. From 1830 to
January. 1888, 1,517.120 persons had been initi
ated in subordinate lodges, 1,323,189 members
had been relieved, and 169,763 widowed fami
lies relieved. During these years 130,265 mem
bers died. The total relief afforded by the order-to
members and their families amounted
to $46,020,890 79. The total receipts amounted
to the enormous sum of $121,235,779 18. At the
present time there is in the general treasury no
less than 70,000,000.
PATEIAECHS TOOK THE PALM.
In th'e street parade the cantons of Uni
formed Patriarchs carried off the honors.
They made a handsome display, and their
marching was superb. The Encampments
also turned out large bodies of men, and
made a creditable appearance.
The column was formed on Water street,
but it was nearly 3 o'clock before it. was
ready to move." James H. Skelton was the
Chief Marshal, J. L. Early, Adjutant, and

THE FINE EXHIBITION -DEILL.
In the evening an exhibition drill was
given by Pittsburg Canton, under the
command" of Colonel Jeffries. The showy
uniforms of the marchers and the measured
movements of the men won them thunders
of applause. After the drill the grand march
took place. It was headed by the members
of the Pittsburg Canton and tbeir wives,
and under the direction of Colonel Samuel
McMichael the 150 couples marched and
countermarched through the hall, After
the march ex-Past Master John A. Myler,
of Allegheny, and an ex-Grand Master of
the organization, delivered a short address on
the history of the order. He made several
remarks about Judge White, which elicited
heartv applause. Mr. Myler said:
It certainly is a plea&ant duty to be assigned
on behalf of Pittsburg Canton of thelndepend
ent Order of Odd Fellows to extend to you a
cordial and fraternal welcome. It is our hope
that you may spend a joyous evening an even
ing to be remembered in the lives of each one
of you. We hope and trust that this evening
will not be forgotten. It is tbe object of Pitts
burg Canton to have these celebrations each
year, and whether you are members of the
order or nofwe want you to enjoy yourselves.
Odd Fellowship in this country has reached
the age of three score and ten, or the time
allotted to man, but the order is only in its in
fancy. SOME OF THE PIOSEEBS.
In the procession to-day I noticed two or
three men who have been in the organization
almost since the time it was introduced in this
country. Tbe history of the order is slightly in
doubt. We have records extending back al
most 200 years, but prior to that time we do not
know anything definite about it The flrrt
lodges were founded upon principles not un
like those governing trades unions. Tbe rules
were very loose. Whenever five men got to
gether thev could organize a lodge among
themselves", but owed no allegiance to any
mother lodge. There were 100,000 of these
men in England, but they always failed to
get united under one head until 1812, when
Manchester Unity was formed. From the Unity
sprang Odd Fellowship in this country. A short
time afterward lodges sprang up everywhere.
In every tavern, and there were plentv of them
as in those days there were no Judge Whites or
high license laws, a lodge of , Odd Fellows was
formed. The first of them was organized in
Baltimore, and from that sprang organizations
in Kew York and Boston, but they afterward
died. The names of the founders of the first
Baltimore lodge were John Welsh, Thomas
Wiley, John Duncan. John Cheatham and
Richard Rushworth. These men were unedu
cated and unknown, but they felt the bond of
brotherly love between themselves and their
fellow man. They thought each of others sor
rows, woes and troubles and reached out their
hands to give assistance to those In distress.
THE SPREADING PROCESS.
The organization began to spread until it was
known as the Grand Lodgo of Maryland. On
December 26, 1821, tbe first lodge was organized
in Pennsylvania by John Pierce, James Day,
JobnB. Robinson, John Upton and Samuel
Croucher. This lodge was also organized in an
ale house as was tbe case with everyone that
came after it There was so much money
spent by the Odd Fellows in those days that a
number of the lodges started drink
ing places of tbeir own. From 1630
until 18S7 there were 1,517.420 men in
itiated, 1.328,189 cases relieved, 169,763
widowed families relieved and 180,265 members
buried by the order. The total relief bills were
46,200,890 70, the total relief paid out by the en.
campments nearly S60.000.000. Tbe total receipts
amounted to over $121,000,000, and there is now
$70,000,000 in the treasury. There are 54 grand
lodges, 44 grand encampments, 8.331 subordi
nate lodges and 1,498 Rebekah -degree lodges.
Last year there were Initiated 63,831 men in the
lodges and 10,932 in the encampments. The to
tal membership of the order is 555,722.
After the address dancing, and a banquet
were indulged in. The Original Itoyal Ital-ian-Orchestra
furnished the music for the
former.

THE,-.. PITTSBURG DISPiGHf
HE BITS ANOTHER BLOW.
Sir. Cnmeglo Writes a Characteristic Letter
to the Paint nriil Urns CInb of Pittsburg
A Fine Banquet.
The Paint and Drug Club, of Pittsburg,
held one of their monthly meetings at the
Dnquesne yesterday. About lo' members
were present, though 0 were expected.
Mr. George A. Kelly is President of the
club, and "W. "YV. Lawrence, Becretary.
Secretary Lawrence explained that the
clnb is a business men's organization, and
they aneet once a month to discuss the trade.
Usually there is some business transacted,
bnt the main feature is the banqnet Short
addresses tore made by various members at
the feast yesterday.
Mr. Lawrence said the trade 'is good at
the present time, and neither the paint nor
drng" men have many complaints to
make. The railroads'discriminated against
them to a certain extent, as they do against
other Pittsburg manufacturers.
An invitation was extended to Mr.
Andrew Carnegie, but he was unable, from
the pressure of business, to be present In
reply he sent the following characteristic
letter, which speaks for itself:
Please convey my sincere thanks to the
Paint and Drug Club, of Pittsburg, for their
kind invitation to dtne with tbem, which it
would give me great pleasure to do. Unfortun
ately, however, my engagements prevent me
from being in Pittsburg, on tbe 26th.
Tbe pace has been set in motion, and nothing
can arrest it until Pittsburg receives justice. 1
have letters from every portion of the State
which convince me that the people of Pennsyl
vania are about to rise In their might and make
the railroads they have .created tbeir servants,
as thev ought to be, not their masters.
No power can withstand this demand,
namely, that for similar service performed by
railways within the State, no more profit shall
be charged than for similar traffic within the
limits of the Stato destined for other States.
That is to say, that the people of Pennsylvania
shall be served upon equal terms with the
people of other States by tbe railways of Penn
sylvania. Very truly yours,
ANDREW CAKNEGIE.
BUSINESS TAX CANVASS.
It I Completed, and the Favored Saloon
Keepers Will Have to Pay a Great Deal
More Why This Is Done.
The Board of Assessors yesterday com
pleted the work of canvassing and serving
notices for the business tax assessment of
the city or 1889. The law requires that
each person so notified shall, within ten days
from the date upon which they receive their
notice, personally appear at the office of the
board and make affidavit to the amount of
business done by them in the past year.
Their failure to comply with this require
ment causes their assessment to be fixed at
the rate indicated by the notices sent out by
the board.
Tbe figures of the board are usually a
little high, in order to avoid assessing any
body for less than they should pay, as in
case of too low a figure being fixed, few
men in business would ever say anything
about it, while if too high, they would come
around and object
The board yesterday decided that no busi
ness returns would be accepted when sent by
mail, even when sworn to. Quite a num
ber of that kind have already been -received;
but they will be returned and the senders
will have to go the Assessor's office person
ally if they desire a reduction of assess
ment A member of the board said yesterday
that the licensed saloon keepers would
probably be assessed at a higher rate than
they were last year. The board has iu its
possession a list of the figures given by
saloon keepers in the License Court, and, as
these were given under oath, they will be
accepted. It is expected that the reduced
number of saloons will also have something
to do with tbe assessments of saloon keep
ers, and the business done last year will not
be taken wholly as a criterion for this year's
assessment
The books of the business tax will not be
readv to turn over to the City Treasurer
until June 1.
PROMISING TO UN1TERSAL1STS.
Fifty-clgbt Families Will Unite With the
New Church To-morrow.
With regard to the new TJniversalist or
Broad-Platform Christian Church to be
founded in this city to-morrow, a chat with
iU founder, Bev. W. S. Williams, of
Sharpsville, pastor of that town's First
TJniversalist Church, may be of interest
In conversation with a reporter yesterday,
Mr. 'Williams said that, strange as it might
seem, the Sharpsville church was the only
one of the TJniversalist denomination within.
a tadius of 78 miles from Pittsburg, although
the TJniversalists are very strong, numeri
cally as otherwise, in eastern Pennsylvania
and in the northwestern part of the Slate.
The faith expounded by so noble and
stalwart a preacher as Bobert Collyer, how
ever, has some very worthy and influential
adherents in Pittsburg and vicinity. Al
ready 58 families have signified their inten
tion to unite with the new church to be
founded in Imperial Hall, nt 11 o'clock to
morrow morning. These good people, with
their broad platform, have only taken this
hall for a period of three or fonr months,
with'the hope that soon they may be able to
erect a suitable edifice of their own. Bev.
Mr. Williams will preach at to-morrow's
service.

rived at a conclusion. Owing to the cen
sure that has been visited by the Court on
Masters and Commissioners who have made
public their findings before they were pre
sented to the Court, an endeavor was made
to keep the verdict from becoming known.
It was learned, however, from an authentic
source that the verdict was in favor of Miss
Hutchinson. The substance of it is that
her mind had been affected, but that she is
now fully recovered and capable of' caring
for herself and managing her own affairs.
The case has been on over a week before
Commissioner John C. Shoemaker, and was
instituted by Mrs. Blume, the sister of Miss
Hutchinson.
The habeas corpus proceedings brought
by Father Gregory, of St Augustine's
Church, to secure the release of Miss Hutch
inson from the St. Francis Hospital are still
pending before Judge Ewing, but the ver
dict of the jury in the sanity case practi
cally decides this matter.
MEMORIAL DAT. '
Allegheny Veterans Are Not In Favor of
Public Orations.
A joint committee representing the three
G. A. E. posts of Allegheny met last night
in the City Clerk's office to make arrange
ments for the observance oi Memorial Day.
Alex. Dawson, of Post 128, was chosen
Chairman. A motion was adopted that
.each post defray their own expenses from
their treasury, and not call on the public
for fnnds.
It was the feeling that the posts should
divide, each going to a separate cemetery
and quietly decorate the graves, and in
stead of having orations and singing in the
cemeteries to secure a large hall on a church,
and have memorial services in the evening.
The meeting was adjourned until Friday
next in order that the members might get
instructions from their posts on the subject.

BI'OWEES ITS DEMAND.
President Campbell Talks About tbe
Scarcity of Glass-Workers.
A MEETING HELD LAST EVENING.
No Trouble at the Dnquesne Steel Works
Testerday and None Expected.
THE SHERIFF CLOSES A SALOOff.
L. A. 300, K. ot L., composed of mem.
bers of the Window Glass Workers' Asso ;
ciation, of which James Campbell is Presi
dent, held an important meeting at their
hall, No. 1605 Carson street, last evening.
It was stated by members and ex-members
of the organization in the afternoon that
President Campbell would be hauled over
the coals, and that an order would be issued
to investigate the coming of the 26 imported
glass blowers.
Mr. Campbell came prepared to defend
his position in the matter, but was not
called upon to do so. His statement was in
reply to the published interviews with Sec
retary Martin, of the Amalgamated Asso
ciation, and Secretary Dillon, of the Ameri
can Flint Glass Workers' Union.
A Dispatch renorter saw Mr. Campbell
last evening while he was attending the
meeting, and he said: "I intended to pub
lish my statement, but have learned that
Messrs. Martin and Dillon deny having
said what is credited to them, therefore I
have nothing to say on the snbject"
The meeting adjourned about 10 o'clock,
and seemed to have been a very harmonious
one. All of the members spoken to said
that only routine business had been trans
acted, and that President Campbell had not
been "hauled over the coals." The subject
of the importation of foreign glass blowers
was discussed, but the opinion seemed to
be that
NO IiAW 'WAS VIOLATED.
There are not enough window glass blow
ers in this country, as the reports presented
by Mr. Campbell showed. A member from
Baltimore announced that two factories in
that city are now idle, because they cannot
get enough blowers to operate the works.
President Campbell said: "If the idle
glass blowers in this country would apply to
me for positions instead of to labor journal
ists, they would be able to obtain positions.
I do not know of any idle glass blowers in
the country that wanted work and were not
engaged. The report published that , there
are 1,040 pots in operation and 252 idle may
be correct; but that does not indicate that
there are idle workmen. Many of these pots
are idle because there are not enough exper
ienced men to operate them, and some of
them are not in operation because the works
have been burned down. There are 'places
or a number of glass blowers in this coun
try, and if any idle blower will apply to me
he will get a job."
Mr. A. M. Hammett, who is one of the
oldest members of the organization, was at
the meeting last night. He was asked
about the importation of the 26 glass blow
ers who went up to work at Jeannette, and
hesitated before answering the question.
He exonerated President Campbell from all
blame, but admitted that all members of
association knew the men were coming over
here, and added: "No man can secure a
position in a factory here unless he has a
card, and these men
ALL HAD CABDS.
"It has been stated that President Camp
bell issued these cards; but that is incorrect.
According to the rules of the associa
tion any preceptory can issue tbe
necessary credentials that will allow a
foreigner to work here. These men, who
are alleged to have been imported, all had
cards, but they were issued by a preceptory
and not by President Campbell. There is a
scarcity of glassblowers in this country, and
any person that' is Acquainted with the
condition of the glass trade knows that this
statement is correct"
Mr. A. G. Denuy was at the meeting, and
did not contradict an? of "the above state
ments. Tho men who have been condemn
ing President Campbell were not at the
meeting last night.
In speaking of his candidacy for Bator
Commissioner, Mr. Campbell said: "I have
not yet filed my application, until Mr. Car
roll D. Wright is removed, which is very
doubtful. Mr. Martin has his application
and recommendations ifa now; also a circular
signed by President Weihe, of the Amal
gamated Association, to the effect that they
have every assurance that a vacancy will
positively occur. There is no truth what
ever in that circular, and it is misleading.
If Carroll D. Wright is removed from his
position, I will file my application, and not
until then."
THE GOYEEITMENt'S POSITIOir.
An effort was made yesterday to see
United States District Attorney Allen rela
tive to a report that he might prosecute the
persons who imported the glass blowers, but
he is not in the city. Assistant District
Attorney Alcorn said that nothing of the
kind had been contemplated, and that
neither the District Attorney nor the United
States Marshal could be expected to initiate
proceedings, but that, of course, if anyone
made an information it would be enter
tained. A State grand iuror is not onlv
allowed but Invited to take cognizance of
infractions ot law, Dut prosecuting attor
neys, marshals, sheriffs, etc., do not feel
called on to knock chips off offenders'
shoulders, unless the bail be opened by
some other, citizen who feels inclined that
way.
AN UNUSUAL PEAT.
Carnegie, Phlpps & Co. Succeed in Turning
Out a 24-Inch Benin.
Carnegie, Phipps & Co., after repeated
experiments, at their Homestead mill, have
succeeded in turning out 21-inch beams, a
feat that has never before been accom
plished in the history of the steel trade.
Several rolls were broken before the beams
were rolled successfully. The largest beam
ever before made was 20 inches.
The new beams are for Cramp & Sons,
shipbuilders, and are to be used in the con
struction of one of the Government's new
cruisers.
TO TALK PROHIBITION.
The W. C. T. TJ. Anxious to Address Flint

President Smith, of the American Flint
Jlass Workers' Union, yesterday received
a request from the President of the W. C. T.
U., asking permission to send speakers to the
next meetipg of the local unions. They
want to talk to the men on the subject of
prohibition.
The desired permission will likely be
granted, bnt President Smith has not yet re

ALL QUIET AT DUQUESNB.
The Sheriff Isines Another Proclamation
and Closes a Saloon.
The strike at Duquesne had somewhat a
dead appearance yesterday compared with
the day before. Everything has been very
quiet. Sheriff McCandless arrived on the
7:52 a. M. .train, and held a consultation
with the strikers in regard to the shooting
Thursday evening. They denied the re
port by saying that it was circulated to do
them harm.
After several attempts to blow a number
of heats on Thursday it was' decided not to
try any more until skilled workmen could
be employed.
Chas. Downey's saloon and hotel, situated
at the corner of the steel works yard, was
ordered closed by Sheriff McCandless.
When asked for bis reasons for so doing, he
replied that it was merely done as a precau
tionary measure, and he also said that he
had great confidence in the strikers, and be
lieved that they would keep the peace as
they had done so far.
The following injunction was served on
each of the strikers separately by the
Sheriff:'
The Allegheny Beisemer Steel Company versus
Chas. Boyle et at :
You are hereby notified that on the day of
the date thereof tbe said plaintiff amended his
bill of complaint by adding tberennto your
name and names of others, as defendants, and
that you are defendant in said hill as amended.
You are further notified that on Saturday, tbe
27th inst, at 10 A. Jr., or as soon thereafter as
counsel can be Heard, we shall move the said
court to grant a preliminary injunction against
you restraining yon from In any manner assem
bling with others upon the works and premises
adjoining of the plaintiff, in Mifflin township,
Allegheny county, and from in any manner in
terfering with the workmen and business of
plaintiff and operation ot said mill.
Richard H. Johnson,
Chas. U. Dickey,
Aran. 28, 1889. Counsel of Plaintiff.
James Cassidy, the man who was pre
vented from entering the works by the strik
ers on Thursday, returned from Pittsburg in
company with another workman on the 2:45
p. m. train yesterday afternoon, and was
met by Sheriff McCandless, who accompa
nied him to the gates of the works.
The following notice was posted last even
ing: .
Any former employe desiring bis money will
be paid to-morrow, the 27th inst, at 2 o'clock p.
iL, at locomotive House.
On the 625 P. M. train four more deputy
sheriffs came, and it was reported that they
were looking for a number of men on a
special train, but up to 10:35 P. u. the train
had not arrived. At 9:45 p. M. everything
was quiet, all men having gone to their
homes bnt a few who were placed around
the works as guards.
MUST JOIN THE UNION.
Some E. of L, Men Lose Their Jobs nt the
Beaver Falls Ax Factory.
Some months ago the Axmakers' Union,
of Beaver Falls, withdrew in a body from
the Knights of Labor, surrendered their
charter and joined the United Brotherhood
of Labor. At the time several members of
the Knights of Labor that belonged to the
union refused to leave the old order, and
consequently have not been recognized as
members of the Axmakers' Onion since.
The men are all employed at Hubbard &
Co.'s works. Yesterday morning the Presi
dent of the union brought matters to a crisis
by ordering his men to cease work until the
management of the works would either dis
charge the men or compel them to join the
union.
The manager of the works went to the ob
noxious men and informed them of the ac'
tion of the union, and the men packed up
their tools and left the shop. Work was
then resumed in all departments. The
works were shut down for about half an
hour.

is the enlargement of trade between this
