THI! EOUj TUBNEES' scale settled
There will not be much of a fight against
company stores at the leading Hononga
hela river coal works for the reason that the
operators claim they are an advantage to
the miners. Representatives of the two
oldest coal firms in the city were seen yes
terday by a DISPATCH representative. Cap
tain L N. Bunton, of Joseph Walton & Co.,
in speaking on the subject, said: "Our
stores are not 'pluck-me'.' They are a bless
ing to the men. If we should abandon the
stores at our works the other dealers would
be able to 'pluck, as they wonld not
then have any competition. As it is
we buy for cash and sell at a close margin,
thus compelling outside companies to charge
reasonable rates for their goods. We do not
compel our men to deal with us, but they
prefer our goods and prices, and we conse
quently have their trade. We do not issue
any store orders. Our firm do not need any
coal at present, bat we do need slack to fill
our orders. The contracts for slack could be
put off very easily, but we do not want to
see our men starve, especially those who
have families. They have the run of the
stores, and on pay days
THE DEBTS IKCUEEED
by our employes are deducted from their
pay. We started one of our mines two
weeks ago, and, Jo show that the men were
not 'plucked,' we paid out $2,000 in cash to
150 men to-day, alter deducting their store
bills and rent for their bouses. Oar men
are not objecting to our store; in fact, it is
an accommodation to them. I do not mean
to say there is no profit in the store, for
there is, but it is not as large as it would be
if we made it a 'pluck-me.
"We informed our men to-day that we
could not continue the 3-cent rete any longer
as the mines in the Fourth pooiire running
at 2 cents. When the apportionment was
made several years ago it was arranged that
the price for mining in the Fourth pool
should be one-half cent less thau in the
first three pools. We cannot compete with
the operators up the riyer unless we pay 1
cerits for discing. The miners held a meet
ing to-day and 1 understand they decided to
accept our terms and one of the works will
continue in operation."
Everybody that has ever been engaced in
the coal business or run on the river Knows
Captain Simpson Horner, the oldest coal
operator iu the Mononganela Valley. He
engaged in business away back in the 40'&
His opinion on company stores is therefore
Worth something. He "said: ''For the first
0 or 30 years of our career in the coal busi
ness we did not hare a store, and our miners
came to us and said they must hare a store
or secure employment elsewhere. Ave built
a store that cost us $10,000 without the
ground or stock, and if anybody
wants it as it now stands, ground,
stock and all, they can hare it for $10,000.
We have made no profit of any con
sequence out of the store. One of our last
two-weeks' payB amounted to $10,000, and of
this amount only $2,000 came out of the
store, or 20 per cent of the pay roll. The
profit on these goods was not more than 10
per cent. I do not see how our store can be
called a 'pluck-me.' Another point, to show
that our men
ABE NOT COMrEIXED
to deal at our store.is the iact that one man,
during the last two weeks when our mine
Vas running, only purchased a pipe at the
store at a cost of 1 cent, and another ft plug
of tobacco costing 5 cents."
Several other river operators who were
seen voiced the views bf those quoted above,
but they admitted that some of the opera
tors compelled their employes to deal at
their stores, and charged them exorbitant
prices for an inferior quality of goods.
President Conway, of the Pittsburg dis
trict of the National Progressive Union,
said yesterday that fully one-half of the
coal operators would assist the miners in
their fight against the obnoxious store sys
tem. To-morrow all miners will refuse to
deal at the company stores, and if they are
discharged a strike will be the result, and
all the mines in the district will be closed.
THE E0LL TURNERS' SCALE.
It ! Finally Disposed of by the Amalitn
mated Convention.
The Amalgamated Association conven
tion only held one session yesterday and ad
journed until Monday. Most ot the time
was occupied in discussing the roll turners'
scale, and it was finally knocked out. The
journeymen roll turners' scale of prices was
adopted and will go into the (general scale.
An invitation to attend the picnic for the
benefit of the Glendon Lodge No. 62, com
posed of Dilworth, Porter & Co. strikers,
at Aliqnippa Grove yesterday, was ac
cepted and many of the delegates went down
in tne afternoon.
The Iron Wage Committee held a confer
ence at Amalgamated headquarters, which
continued all afternoon and late in the
evening. They were considering the re
classification of sheet mill work.
Will Ship Coke Enif.
The opening of the railroads to the East
will .let out all orders of coke for Eastern
shipments that have been accumulating
since the flood. Not a single orders ill be

NEW ADVTKTISEMESTS,
STJPEE3TITION8 BEGABDIHO BABIES.
It is believed by many that if a child cries at
its birth and lifts up only one hand, it is born
to command. It is thought very unlucky not
to weigh the baby before it is dressed, when
first dressed the clothes should not be put oyer
the head, but drawn on over the feet for luck,
When first taken from the room in which it
was born it-must be carried upstairs before
going down, so that it will rise in the world.
In any; case it must be carried upstairs or up
the street, the first time it is taken out. It is
also considered in England and Scotland un
lucky to cut the baby's nails or hair before it is
12 months old. The saying:
Born on Monday, fair in the face:
Born on Tuesday, full of God's grace;
Born on Wednesday, the best to be bad;
Born on Thursday, merry and glad.
Born on Friday, worthily given.
Born on Saturday, work hard for a living.
Born on Sunday, shall never know want, is
known with various changes all over the Chris
tian world; one deviation from the original
makes Friday's child "free in giving." Thurs
day has one very lucky hour just befoie tun
r.se The child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonpy and good and gay,
While
He who is born on New Sear's morn
Will have his own way as sure as you're torn
And
He who is born on Easter morn
Shall never know care, or want, or harm.
