OPERATORS ESDBAVOE TO MEET. Mammoth Assemblages of Strikers in the Heart of the Itcjrfon. WHY CONCESSIONS AKE COUNSELED A meeting of the. cote operators of this city was called for yesterday afternoon to discuss the strike. The offices of the Hecla Coke Company, corner of Liberty and Sixth streets, was the place. The meeting was evidently intended to be held as quietly as possible, and none of the operators wanted to say anything about it Prom what could be learned afterward, it appears, however, that no discussion took place. Several operators being out of town, nothing defi nite could be determined upon. H. C. Frick.JjMr. Schoonmaker, of the J. M. Schoonmaker Coke Company, and also a representative of the Moore Coke Company were present. MB. FRICK NON-COMMITTAL. When Mr. Frick was seen at his office, and asked as to the purpose of the meeting, he said, very reluctantly: "Of course under the existing circum stances in the region, it is quite natural that the operators would hold a meeting to dis cuss a question so interesting to us all. "We did not hold a conference, however, this atternoon. It is true we intended to do so; but we abandoned the idea because there are so many of the operators out of town." "What is your opinion of the situation at present?" "I am really not able to say anything about the matter. Mr. Lynch, our Super intendent at Connellsvilie, will meet a com mittee of the men to-night; but what will be the result I cannot loretelL I have not given him any instructions in regard to the meeting with the men." Mr. Schoonmaker, who was also seen coming from the Hecla Company's office, said that there had not been a meeting. Mr. Kutledge, of the Moore Coke Company, stated the same, but remarked, with a very ominous smile: "You better wait & few days longer, and you will get some news on the coke business." A WONDERFUL UNANIMITY. The following special telegram from Scott dale last night shows that the strike is bringing things to a head rapidly: bo far ns the manufacture of coke Is con cerned the Connellsvilie region is dead to-day. Never in the history of this region has there been an agitation so uniformly successful as the present strike. Every one of the 76 coke plants and over 14,000 ovens are idle. As the situation appears to-day. the strike will end soon, favorably to the men. A preliminary conference was held to-day and it is possible the final settlement will be reached to-morrow. The news of the success of the men in the Gallitzin resrion was received with every evi dence of satisfaction by tbe strikers here, and they opine that it will materially advance their chances ol success in this section. The superintendent of one of the coke plants near this place, when shown tbe telegram from Gallium, said: "That settles the matter in this rczlon. We must get our works started, or we will lose our orders, and we cannot afford to do that." It is possible the present week will see the termination of tbe best planned and best con ducted strike that ever occurred in the Con nellsvilie region. An immense mass meeting was held here this afternoon. It is estimated that nearly 6,000 strikers m ere in town. Tbey were in a good humor, and seemed to be enjoying their uuuuar. A SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT. Later and more important advices from Connellsvilie last night appeared to change the whole situation. Tne special that brought them is appended: The conference between the representative of the Frlck- company and strikers continued until late this evening, and adjourned until moraine, when a settlement will probably be effected. It an agreement is reached with this firm, it is thought the others will follow, and a general resumption take place shortly. Between 8.C00 and 9,000 strikers attended the mass meeting ol miners and cokeworkcrs here to-day. The meeting was undoubtedly the lamest ever held in the Connellsvilie region, and tbe greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Ad dresses ere made by Master Workman Rae, of National Miners' Assembly, K. of L; Peter WiscSecretarv Vatchom.and Miehnoi niim.n in which the strikers were congratulated for the success so far attained, and praised for the quiet and peaceable manner in which they were conducting the strike. Resolutions were then adopted declaring in favor of establishing a uniform rate at once, and fixing 1 cent per bnsbel as the minimum rate. The men were then formed in line and marched to town, where they were dismissed. Notwithstanding the immense crowd on the streets all day. not a single arrest for disorderly conduct was reported. THE COKE REGIONS STRIKE. A Serious Situation That May be Satisfac torily Settled by Conference nnd Conces sions ALabor Organ's Views. The Rational Labor Tribune, in its next issue, will contain the following editorial review of the coke regions strike: r ' It was on February 2 of this year that we published an editorial in which the follow ing occurred: When it became apparent that the Frick Company lead in a scale was not to be followed by the balance of the district, there conld be no other conclusion man that the Frick rates would come down to the lower level or the other operators would have to bring their rates up to the higher level of the Frick schedule. There never was a considerable difference in wages in the same district, under similar con ditions as to terms of labor, that either tho low er rate was compelled to meet the higher, or the higher was broi ght down to the lower. The surprise in the Connellsvilie instance has been in the long delay to a movement in the one or the other direction. It was a year or more ago that this paper fave its advice on the subject, namely, that the rick scale set the rate for the entire region that it was voluntarily given by tbe company, and that the other operators should be com pelled to pay the same ligure. It was NOT FAIK TO THE COMPANY that awarded without contest a better schedule of wages, to permit competitors to have a lower schedule. Nor was this fair to tbe workmen. It was not fair to those who were paid the lower rate, for they were entitled to more; it was not fair to the Frick workmen, for a lower rate elsewhere constantly threatened tneir wages. The fact is that the Frick Company in adopt- mc me scaie mat it did gave the workmen about what could have been seenred for the whole legion had that unfortunate d.fflculty anent the "umpire's award" not occurred. This company was fair and gave what was re garded by the management, and by the large operators generally, as a reasonable scale of wares. The others not so fair and did not act so honorably and justly. It was then the duty of the workmen to have insisted, and it wasour plain advice, that the Frick scale be regarded as the accepted price and that the district be brought up to it without delay. There has been a long season of constantly increasing out put and demand for coke beyond the capacity of transportation. That was the time the Frick scale could have been made the unirorm dis trict rate, yet little or nothing was done toward that end; and now we find mat the disposition to demand a uniform scale has developed at la6t, but it comes when furnace yards are stocked and the metal industries are not yet pulled together sufficiently to know what to do. There should be a uniform scale on basis rates. The workmen are richt In beginning an effort toward this; they would have been nearer right had they begun when we wanted ttem to, namely, when the Frick scale was made and the other operators refused to make a similar scale. THE FEBRUARY AOBEEMENT. It was only a tew days alter the appear ance of the loregoing that an agreement was made between the Frick Company and a committee of seven ot their employes, which was agreed to at an open meeting on February 7, 1889, and duly signed and sealed on the following day.

It Is agreed that the above rates of wages and prices for contract work shall be the minimum rates and prices paid by the said H. C. Frick Coke Company at all the works owned or operated by them in the Connellsvilie coke region during the term ot this agreement, and for each and every advance of ten (10) cents per ton over and above 1 35 per ton in the price of furnace coke f . o. b. cars at ovens, 2X cents per 100 bushels shall be added to the above prices for mining and loading coal, and one and one-half 1)4) cents per 100 bushels of coal charged shall be added to the above price of drawing coke, and two (2) per cent to be added to all other labor given in tbe above list, and two (2) per cent to be added to wages of all other classes or kinds of labor at each plant not given in tbe above list. Provided that all other coke operators in the Connellsvilie region will sign, on or before tbe 1st of April next, the same scale or its equiva lent for the regulation of the wages of their employes during the year 1SS9, and in case this scale or its equivalent is not signed and paid by the other operators in the Connellsvilie coke regions generally, on or Dciore tne 1st of April, it is distinctly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the rates of wages herein and hereby fixed aro to be stricken out. aban doned, and no longer to be paid by said II. C. Frick Coke Comnanv. and tbe average warp paid in the region at works outside of Frick Coke Company on April 1, 1889. are to be adopted and substituted instead and to be paid by said Frick Coke Company, and the scale in this agreement for regulating advances and re ductions in wages of said Frlck Coke Company shall be null and void, and wages to oe paid bv said Frick Coke Company during the term of this agreement, on or after April 1, 1889. shall be advanced and reduced as tbe wages paid gen erally by tho other operators in the region aro advanced and reduced: that is to say, on and after the 1st of April next, during tbe term of this agreement, it is distinctly understood and agreed that tbe said Frick Coke Company are not to pay any higher wages than the average wages paid by other operators in this region generally.

Payments to De made semi-monthly. This agreement to take effect February L 1889, and to continue in effect and binding on said H. C Frick Coke Company and all their employes until December SI, 1889. A SUEPBI8ED OFFICIAL. The other day William Mullen, who was secretary of the M. and L. A. A. and the N. P. TJ., remarked to the correspondent of a Pittsburg paper: Retarding the present strike, I am somewhat surprised to see the Frlck employes taking the initiative and the others at work. The Frick company paid higher wages man any ether i toon 2vC ujauapreJ April 1, 18S9, and then only reduced metrites to the average of wages paid at the other'works after it was f onnd tnat the wages arbe other works could not be bronght np.v ih'e Frick standard. Futhermore, the present wages paid by the Frick company apfl other conditions, such as hours of labor, and a provision that six days' uw.ux? w icuiu; ciuior eiuo uciore suspend ing work, and she component parts of a scale signed by tbprrepresentatlves of each one of tbe Frick works in tbe region. Had the strike been brought about at the other coke works in the region, it is sale to say that no strike would be needed at the Frick works, as that company hasall along declared its willingness to pay any wages or sign any scale agreed to by the other coke operators. It will be observed from all this that the Frick men, having been unable to bring the remainder of the district up to their level of wages, came down to the lower level of the other workmen. For two years the Frick company had paid a material ad vance on the wages paid by other operators. This is greatly to the credit ot the company, and should have secured them the services of intelligent workmen, who then, as now. should appreciate the consideration which, for two years, HELD UP WAGES in the vain hope that the remainder of the workmen of the district would level up to the top rate. Yet the public sees these men breaking faith disregarding an agreement between themselves and the Prick com pany. How must they be regarded by that public? Why, simply as men who are so unreliable that it is impossible tor an em ployer to have business relations with them, for it cannot be foreseen what agreement they will or will not keep. Did not the district have a sufficiently severe lesson in the loss of hundreds of thousands in wages by violation of the umpire's award, that the men should deliberated refuse to ob serve the agreement of February? And now one of "the leaders" is quoted by the press as saying that tbe agreement was violated honorably, because all the re gion had not agreed to it. That is a sillv plea, for every man who has worked under the agreement is as much bound by it as thongli he had signed andsealed it. As for the others, thev are entitled to no considera tion from tbe Prick men, for the very good reasontbat but for them the higher rate that the Prick company paid for two years would have yet been the rate. Furnace coke had gone up as high as $1 60 during those two years, yet nothing was done by the under paid "remainder." In February it was $1 25; in April, $1 15, and not well main tained; then fl 05, and finally it looked as though the 90-cent days were coming back. Latterly it bas been $1, with pig metal stocks increased some hundreds of thous ands of tons over what they were at the close of 1888, though with somewhat better pros pects than was the case a month ago. The scale suggested by the Knights of Labor convention of April 13, and now the demand, is: One dollar per 100 bushels for mining room coal; 1 20 per 100 bushels for mining heading coal and all other narrow work; 52 10 per day of eight hours 'or drivers, cagers, horsebackmen, timbermen, track men and roperidera; chargers, 4c per oven; GOc per 100 bushels of coal charged tor coke drawing; 10c per oven for leveling; black smiths, 1'2 25 per day; helpers, $1 85 per day; carpenters, $2 35 per day; car greasers, 1 75 per day; all other classes of work in proportion. The OBSTACLE TO A- HIGH SCALE is that it may be too heavy to carry its own weight; tbe rate might require so large ad vance in the price of coke as to curtail tbe demand very,matenally; for there are other coke regions, and furnace operators have a way of using more largely than usual of bituminous and anthracite coal when Con nellsvilie rates go too high in' proportion to those tnels. It would not be wise to touch that point. It would be wise under all the present aspects to make concessions on Doth sides 'and thereby incur no loss from pro longed shut-down, aud secure a higher rate of wages and a better figure for coke. And it would be wise for the Frick men to not let the grass grow under their feet in hustling back in pursuit of the honor they dropped when they broke the agree ment. The Frick company workmen were for two years treated most honor ably and liberally by the company, and judging from that experience it is more than probable that this treatment may be continued if the parties in interest will but come together resolved on a solution of the trouble on business principles, which would include what we recommended in our edito rial advice of February 2, published in the foregoing, namely, insistence that the rate of the district be uniform. They can get the February scale with a 6-cedt advance if they follow this advice, and they know from the'history of the last two years that the National Labor Tribune gives good advice. Better have your committee call on Super intendent Lynch at once, and likely enough it will end, if not nrecisely in a "love feast," at least in something which will be infinitely preferable to a prolonged strike. HE SAYS THEY MOST 60. Those British Glass Worker Will Not be Able to May Here An Appenl to tbe Supreme Conrt Does Not Help Them. Homer L. McGaw was quietly sitting in a printing office on Fourth avenue yester day afternoon when a reporter asked him what would be the next move in the Jean nette glass workers' case. "Mr. Lyon did just what I expected he would do," he said, "and, as far as I can see, he could not do anything else but recommend the return of the men to their native country. I have no doubt that the Secretary of the Treasury will indorse Mr. Lvon's recommendation, and then the case will be put in the hands of Robert D. Lay ton, the Immigrant Inspector." "But, suppose the case is appealed to the Supieme Court?" "Well, I am not sure whether that can be done. I have an idea that Secretary Win dow's decision will be final. But even if tbe case is taken before a higher tribunal, the men will have to leave the country while the case is being tried. They cannot wait here till the Supreme Court's opinion is known. If the decision should be in their favor, they might come back; but, so soon as the Secretary of the Treasury de cides that these men were brought over here in violation of the contract labor law, they must go back. I helped to frame that law, aud I ought to know something about it." THEIR ACTION INDORSED. The Executive Board orD. A. 125 Discuss, ins the Coke Strike. The Executive Board of District Assem bly 125, K. of L., National Organization of Miners and Mine Laborers, held their semi annual meeting yesterday afternoon in K. of L. Hall, Fifth avenue. Apart from a general discussion of matters of interest to miners, two resolutions were passed. In the first the action of the Connellsvilie cokers, insisting on 1 cent per bushel for mining coal, was unanimously indorsed. In the second they resolved to financially aid the striking coal miners of Indiana. The meeting was a lull one, John Cos tello being among the prominent labor men present J. B. Eae and E. E. Watchhorp. who had been expected, were in the Connells vilie region. Mr. Costello said he felt sure the strikers would win. "The strike will not be a long one," he concluded, "and,I think the oper ators will see the demands of the men are just," The Scale Still Unsigned. The Amalgamated scale is still awaiting the signature of Schoenberger & Co. Presi dcnt"Weihe stated yesterday afternoon that nothing could be done until the improve-, ments at the mill were completed, which might be three weeks yet. Another Voluntary Testimonial. Mr. Isaac Lane, of Homestead, Pa., de clares that Pe-rn-na, the popular Tonic, and Man-a-Iin, the snccesslul System Reg a lator, have wrought wonders for him, and that in a abort time he expects to feel like a new man altogether.

A Renewed Interest In Passenger Railways for Oakland and Twenty-Third Ward No Fear ofRlvals. Promoters and builders of street railways are of late stirring their stumps actively tor the right of supplying locomotives to the Oak land and Squirrel Hill districts. Mention has already been made of the feeder to be built on Atwood, Boquet and Ward streets for the Pittsburg Traction Company. This is to be furnished with power from Oakland. Though the accepted ordinance only gives the right to horse-power, that is so slow and antiquated that, with the indorsement of nearly all the property owners, an amend ment is asked for, giving the privilege to use electricity, which, it is supposed, as a matter of course, will be passed at the next session of Councils. Quick upon the heels of a project to extend this line up Green field avenue, and out toward a point opoo posite Homestead, comes a charter to other parties for an electric road from the junc tion of Craft and Fifth avenues over WH mot street to Sylvan avenue, and thence along tbe same Greenfield avenue route. This latter plan is supposed to hitch in with the charters issued already for Forbes and Diamond streets. It is thought to have in view a through line competing with the Pittsburg Traction. The Pittsburg Traction people, however, seem to have the "call" on the Greenfield avenue part ot the route, as there was a lormer company chartered for that route, with which they are understood to be in negotiation. One of the Traction people, who was spoken to on the subject yesterday, said that the latter company is not greatly trouoiea by prospect of immediate or early competi tion; that a good many things have tone done before rights of way for an opposition line are likely to be secured into the heart of the citv, and that, as for the electric rights in Oakland, they will hardly be re fused when public convenience and the property owners demand them, merely to await undeveloped ideas in other directions. The territory through which these new roads will pass now consists mainlv of open fields, but the common idea is that, with means of travel furnished, it would become rapidly settled and prosperously populous. An Unpunishable Offense. Arnat Pugh, sent 30 days to the work house by Magistrate HcKeuna as a suspi cious character, was discharged yesterday by Judge Collier, on a writ of habeas cor pus. The principal complaint against Pugh was that he was a "loafer" and as no pen alty is provided ior in such a case, he was discharged.
