fMLDERS TO FIGHT.
Their Organ Says They Will Oppose
the Eight-Honr Agitation.
HOW HOME CONTRACTORS SUFFER
littsoiirg Work Done in Small Towns
Where Labor is Cheap.
TEE ASSOCIATION ,T0 DISCUSS IT
The builders' Exchange 'will meet Mon
day next The event -will be - the regular
annual gathering of the exchange, and, on
account of the impending eight-hour trou
ble, it is expected that it will be the most
important meeting in the history of the ex
change. The organization rannot take ac
tion as a body on labor questions, but an in
direct movement will be instituted. An at
tempt will be made to hare the exchange
bend delegates to the annual convention of
the National Association of Builders, to be
held at St. Paul on the 27th inst. The Pitts
burg Exchange is not connected -with the
national organization and it is doubtful
wbelher delegates will be sent or not. If
the exchange does notjsend representatives
then a number of Pittsburg builders will go
cm their own hook.
The national association will take up the
eight-hour question and adopt some action
in regard to it Among those who will go
to the meeting is W. S. Sharon, managing
editor of the Journal of Building. He has
received a copy of the programme of the
meeting and upon that bases an article
which appears in the current issue of the
paper. Mr. Sharon, when asked what the
builders would do in regard to the matter
when it is presented to them by their em
ployes, said:
THEY "WILI. SHOW FIGHT.
"The contractors and builders of the
county intend to fight the matter. They
say they cannot afford to run on an eight
hour a day basis. I think one outcome ot
the matter will be that it -will iorce the
Builders Exchange to go into the national
association. They should have gone into
the association a long time ago, so as they
could lend their co-operation to legislation
on such questions. The national organiza
tion takes up matters of .such great import
ance and it would be to the interest of the
Pittsburg people to have something done
about it One of the vital principles of the
association is that they shall employ who
they please, how they please and work as
many hours as they please.
"I think the Pittsburg builders would
sign the eight-hour scale if it was not for the
fact of other contractors jumping in and
taking the business. Last year the builders
of Pittsburg did a business amounting to
$6,000,000. Of this amount 5750,000 -was
done by a contractor at Erie, Pa. He works
his men ten hours a day, while the Pittsburg
men work but nine. The wages paid in Erie
are about 25 per cent less than are oaid in
this city. On this account the contractor is
enabled to underbid our builders. He takes
a contract for a building and everything
that goes in it is made at Erie. None of the
work is done in this city. If these- con
tractors were driven from the city we would
have no trouble about the eight-hour law.
I think the convention ot the Union Asso
ciation of Lumber Dealers, to be held at
Dayton this month, will also take some
action on the matter. In his paper, which
is the official organ of the builders, Mr.
Sharon says:
PITTSBURG THE STARTING POINT.
It is generally conceded that Pittsburg as a
Stronghold of organized labor is tbe proper
point to make tbe test Tbe master builders,
of Pittsburg and Allegheny county, wbo em
ploy upward of 6,000 mechanics, good, bad and
indifferent claim and can substantiate tbe
declarations that the adoption of an eight
hour movement In this city means a paralyza
tion of tbe local building trades. It must be
therefore met with tbe most determined oppo
sition, and that upon tbe highest plane of
equity and reason. With tbe united effort of
tbe allied buildinc craftsmen, the American
Federation ot Labor will have about as much
chance of success as an icicle wonld in pnttlng
out the fires of bis Satanic Majesty. Eight
hours for a day's work is too short in the build
ing trades, not from the fact that enough labor
could not be performed for the amount of
wages for that many hours of labor, bnt for
the following indisputanble reasons:
WHAT THE SEASONS ABE.
That in commencing work at 8 o'clock A. X.
the day Is so far advanced that workmen can
not in the beat of the day render service that
would warrant living wages being paid. Be
tween tbe hours of 7 and 8 A. K., in tbe cool of
the morning, the mechanic mmbles himself for
Jus day's work, which if he begins one hour
later would commence his work in tbe heat of
tbe day.
No contractor or builder could estimate the
amount of work that could be performed under
such circumstances, even if the mechanic be
paid by the.honr.
Kigbt hoars labor means that all the planing
mill work that is done in this city will be done
in small towns, where they are not affected with
labor organizations, large mercantile taxes, ex
pensive water rents, vehicle licenses, costly in
surance, eta, eta
Mechanics living in small places own their
own houses, the cost of living is fully one-third
les. They pay no large fees to support walk
ing delegates, master workmen, secretaries,
agitators or hall rents, in which to meet and
defy the contractors.
Ten hours a day labor in country towns is
considered short hours, and overtime work is
paid pro rata, instead of tune and one-half.
HOW BOYS DO WORK.
Boys are permitted to work in the mills and
workshops, and they do as much labor as men
in the cities, and are paia only boys' wages.
They take a pride in doing their work instead
of putting in the time.
Experience ha demonstrated that where
city mechanics refuse to put up the work man
ufacturedin small places that workmen are
imported from these places who come and put
the work into position, and labor organiza
tions dare not interfere with them. They re
ceive protection from authorities that non
union men cannot
Eight hours labor means that country mills
and manufacturers have tbe advantage of 20
per cent in time, which is a profit in itself and
all other points equal, tbe country contractor
lias advantage.
Here in the city of Pittsburg in the year just
closed, one contractor from a country town has
done fully half a million dollars worth of the
buildinc and in 60 per cent of that work be has
derived the advantages cited.
JOHN EIESCHBAUM KILLED.
An Economlte Killed by on Explosion ot
Natural Gas.
A terrible explosion of natural gas oc
curred at Economy yesterday morning about
B o'clock, resulting in the death ot John
Kirschbaum and painful injury to John
Becker.
The supply of fuel being very light, the
two started with a lantern to the pressure
house, which they reached with the above
result The sides of the building were
blown out and portions found several hun
dred yards distant, Both parties stood high
in the community in which they resided,
and a warm and general sympathy is mani
fested and expressed.

John Gamble's saloon, corner Southside
Diamond and Bingham street,- was broken
into at an early hour yesterday morning
and a large quantity of stock stolen. Not
tatisfied'with this, the thieves, before leav

whisky and wine and departed.
Officer Bichards came across the trio ot
thieves camped around a keg of beer soon
afterward and a struggle ensued. Tbe

THE ALLEGHENY POSTOFFICE.
The Receipts Show Great Gains bbA In
creased EHcIencv An Argument Shown
for Better Facilities.
The annual report of the AlleghenyPost
office for 1889 was completed yesterday. It
shows a steady increase of business and is
one of the strongest arguments for a Gov
ernment building in Allegheny that will
afford sufficient facilities for handling the
mails.
The increase Js not alone during the past
year, but the business has grown steadily
for years back. As compared with 1886
when the gross receipts of the office were
?39,797 45, the business of 1889, when the
gross receipts were $60,632 45, shows an in
crease of 69 per cent Below will be found
the reports of the various departments for
1888 as compared with the returns for 1886.

ANOTHER SNAKG ST0EY.
County Commissioner Mercer Dag Up a
Reptile Far From Its Habitat.
The subject of herpetology being under
discussion yesterday drew out a contribu
tion from County Commissioner Mercer. He
was digging in his back yard on Hew Year's
Day for recreation, or for some oher pur
pose, and dug up a snake of sufficient
rigidity and length to have made a fine cane
for a boy. Mr. Mercer took it into the
parlor fire and thawed it out, when it pro
ceeded to exhibit the peculiarities common
to all the genus.
Mr. Mercer hasn't been able to explain
satisfactorily to himself the squirming
phenomenon, and is pnzzled to know what
a snake meant by burrowing in the heart of
the city and by not going below the usual
frost line, but'Mr. Mercer hasn't viewed the
matter from all possible angles. Snakes
were supposed to be the personification of
wisdom in ancient times, and it is just pos
sible that they know as much about the
weather as does the groundhog, or muskrat,
or any other intelligence, either mammal,
ornithological or reptilian, and that snake
may have learned something from contact
with civilization, and knew that this winter
would be mild.
Mr. Mercer thinks the reptile lost its in
stinct by getting so far from its habitat, bnt
his position is untenable, as it is more likely
that it had acquired some meteorological
knowledge. Some naturalists hold that if
brutes' lives could be prolonged and they
receive the same care in their education
that people do, they would acquire the
power of speech. Reptiles are long lived
and cold blooded, and they may know much
more than they are given credit for. Judg
ing from reports from all sections of the
country they at least seem to have known
that there was no hurrv in getting into win
ter quarters last fall. St Patrick's influence
must be waning.
B. F. JONES ON FREE BRIDGES.
He Scores Dirty Streets and Thinks the
Bridges Wonld be Unkempt.
Mr. B. P. Jones goes further and files
some specifications regarding his objections
to free bridges. He says if the city builds
new ones they will not only be not taken
care of as they should be, but will depre
ciate the value of those in which widows
and orphans have stock, so that as a matter
of right if the city were to own one it ought
to own all, and as the streets are not kept in
repair he thinks the bridges would also
soon be in similar poor condition.
Mr. Jones does not regard the citation of
free bridges in Philadelphia and Chicago
as an argument in favor of freedom here, as
those bridges are short and insignificant in
cost compared with ours. Mr. Jones ex
presses the opinion that if affairs are so
managed that people will be employed at
good wages that the payment of toll will
not be a hardship, and that the question of
more bridges is more important than that of
free ones, but states that if Councils pass
the resolution to have him fill the vacancies
in the board he will do so and will give the
subject the necessary study.

AN OPINION ON MCE.
Al Carlisle Sizes Up the onld-Be
Senator From Ohio.
WHAT OLD BANDANA SAIS OP HIM.
The Old Soman Thinks Brice Would be a
Competent Han.
PiCTS ON THE INSIDE OF OHIO'B FIGHT
Mr. AL Carlisle, the well-known Ohio
politician, arrived in the city yesterday from
a business trip through the Buckeye State.
He was met by a reporter for The Dis
patch,' who asked his opinion of the Ohio
Senatorial contest, on the eve of battle.
Mr. Carlisle answered:
"Mr. Brice has the fight well in hand, and
in my opinion there is no doubt of his re
ceiving the caucus nomination."
"What leads you to entertain that opin
ion?" "Mr. Brice's thoroughly organized cam
paign and superb management, and his fair
treatment of the candidacy of other aspir
ants, has crystallized sentiment largely in his
favor since the contest opened. The roorbacks
or misrem-esentations that havebeen made
as to his subsidizing the press and not being
a resident of Ohio, have been met witn sucn
prompt denials as to turn what was intended
to damage him into his favor. Many of the
opposition have put the question to Demo
crats and members of the Legislature friendly
to him, "If it were Cal. Brice, simply a
Lima lawyer, who were a candidate for
Senator, would you vote for him?' With
the same propriety a man might have asked
when Grover Cleveland was nominated for
Mavor of Buffalo, whether the people would
then have picked him out for President of
the United States, or whether they wonld
have chosen Lincoln when he was mauling
rails in Illinois. The Brice who was a law
yer of Lima, is a thing of the past
MEAOUBINOTTP TO A BIO TIELD.
"The man before the people now is the
Brice who has had a field large enough to
develop the great capacity innate in the
man in dealing with master minds in the
financial world, where he has proved a
phenomenal success, coming out of every
transaction with honor and credit, and
without any act in his financial career leav
ing a stain upon his good name, and receiv
ing nothing but praise from the financial
leaders of his State with whom he has been
associated, all of whom, in this fight, irre
spective of politics, are speaking warm
praises in behalf of the man's ability and
integritv. He has taken several losing
properties and put into the management his
energy and capacity for organization and
turned them into some of the best paying
properties in tbe State of Ohio. Such hon
ors, such success, such indorsements do not
to fall the lot of common, ordinary lawyers
or ordinary men. The men who are raising
this question will find that not only a ma
jority of the members of the Legislature,
but a great majority of the Democrats of
Ohio, will prefer taking the reputation of
tbe Brice of to-day rather than that ot the
unknown Brice of whom they talk. Such
petty drives as this have created sentiment
for.him among the thinking men of the
party."
BP.ICK AS A BOODLER.
"It is charged that because he is a million
aire, connected with corporations, he would
not represent the sentiment of his party in
the Senate on the question of trusts and
kindred subjects of legislation.
"Mr. Brice is known as a thorough, hard
working Democrat, a close personal friend
to Grover Cleveland, was a delegate at St
Louis in 1888, look a prominent part there,
indorsed its action, and as Chairman of the
National Committee conducted a canvass in
accord with tbe teachings of the platform
adopted at that convention. He did his
nart like a man. and success would have fol
lowed the effort bnt lor treachery on the,
part ot certain Democrats in .Brooklyn and
New York, aided by the vast corruption
fund used In behalf of the Bepublican party.
He is thoroughly in agreement with all the
advanced leas of the Democracy on the
questions of tariff reform, taxation and
popular legislation. His creanness,
fairness and equity in his financial
transactions are surely proof that he will
be found on the side of the people, giving
his best efforts in their behalf. Cal Brice
cannot be referred to as a millionaire in the
general use of that word. His riches have
never taken him out of the circle of his for
mer friends. He has nonepf the grasping
characteristics of the conventional million
aire, but is a thorough man of the people."
YOUNG THURMAN'S OPPOSITION.
"I notice that AW. Thurman is onposing
him."
"He is a free lance. He is sole proprietor
of his opinions and declarations. While, in
my judgment, he is making a mistake, yet
he is perfectly honest in all objections he
raises."
Vis his father, Judge Thurman, taking
any part in the contest?"
"In a talk I bad with him ten days ago
he made the positive declaration that, under
no considerations, would he take any part in
tbe contest Knowing the close acquaint
anceship of Judge Thurman and Mr. Brice,
I desired, for my own satisfaction, to learn
the Judge's estimate of Mr. Brice's ability
and competency for the position of Senator.
I asked him the question, 'If he is elected
what kind of a Senator do you think ce will
make?' In his usual frank manner he re
plied, 'He is a talented man and would
make a competent Senator.' "
Mr. Carlisle will depart to-day for Co
lumbus. A BRAND NEYf PROJECT.
A Vacant Southside Hillside Tract to be
Bollt op and Peopled.
Hitherto syndicate operations for de
veloping the city haye been generally con
fined to tbe Old City and the East End, but
the Southside has caught the fever. It has
been brought about by the Introduction of
rapid transit schemes, and various projects
have been launched lately. The upper
Southside is expected to'be built up to the
confines of Williamsburg within the year.
The last project, and one that has not yet
gained much publicity, is one startedby
Bobert Carter and Bobert McKibbin,
ot the Thirty-third ward. These gen
tlemen have purchased that portion
of the Bailey heirs' estate lying around the
water tank of the Monongahela Water Com
pany's extension, which is built on the site
of Fort Clinton. The price paid is reported
to be $36,000. The ground is to be divided
into lots and a company formed on the-build-ing-and-loan-association

, THB'HEWSBOTS' HOME. -
A Meeting at Which the Constitution Was
Amended Tbe Mother Gooso Mummery
Canceled the Debt.
The Board of Managers of the Newsboy's
Home met yesterday afternoon. The meet
ing was opened with prayer and presided
over by Bev. Dr. Purves, who is President
The Visiting Committee reported the Home
to be in first-class order and in good running
shape.
The Executive Committee was instructed
to increase the salary of the day school
teacher from $30 to 540 per month.
Superintendent Druitt reported thejre
ceiptoffloT 64 for last month. The average
attendance at the Sabbath school was 80.
He also reported that there had been no day
school for tbe past month.
Secretary Kerr reported that the sub
scriptions for 1889 would amount to $965.
The Committee on Entertainment reported
that the total receipts for the Mother Goose
entertainments at the Bijou Theater last
week amounted to $1,791 60, while the ex
penses were $137 95.
It was decided that this money should go
into the general treasury, and should go to
paying off the indebtedness now due. The
amount in the treasury after the debt has
been paid will amount to $314 14.
The board then took up the constitution
and amended it in many respects. The
constitution is quite compreheusive and
provides for regular organization with
officers elected every year, with a provision
that the superintendent be elected yearly
and to be removed only by a two-thirds vote
of the board at a regular meeting. AH bovs
in the Home shall be required to pay $1 75
per week, unless under peculiar circum
stances. There are to be three governing
committees, viz., the Visiting, Purchasing
and Educational, with corresponding duties.
When the new constitution and by-laws are
adopted the Home will at once be placed
upon a permanent footing and its future
will be reasonably assured.
EAST END ROBBERIES.
Two Houses Adroitly Burglarized, bat Mot
DInch of Talne Stolen.
The usually quiet little village of Wil
kinsburg has been quite wrought up for the
past few days on account of two recent dar
ing and successful robberies, and though the
amounts secured in each instance were
small, there was a degree of adroit boldness
in both instances which is well calculated
to cause the community still further appre
hension. On Tuesday morning about 2 o'clock Mr.
John Black, a wealthy resident of Water
street, was awakened by his frightened
daughter frith the startling statement that
a burglar had entered her room, and that in
her rush across tbe hall she had brushed
against him.
"I at first thought," said Mr. Black to a
Dispatch reporter that it was all imagina
tion or nervousness, but finally took
my gun and went downstairs.
On reaching the kitchen I found a bright
light burning and the window up; entering
the dining room adjoining I found the out
side door open, and upon a-chair near a
bundle of forks and spoons. Closer inspec
tion revealed the fact that just above the
lock, and In close proximity to the burglar
proof fixture, a square hole large enough to
admit a hand had been chiseled through,
thelbnrglar latch lifted and the key trans
ferred to the outside. By this means the
entrance must have been effected very
quietly. The "safety" latch was probably
a foot above the key; tbe opening was made
equi-distant between them, thus affording
facilitv for the easy manipulation of both.
'The burglar unquestionably, after entering
tbe door, went to tne Kitchen, there raising
the window and ensuring either of the two
ways of exit
"It is my opinion that the burglar was
well acquainted with the premises and be
longs in this neighborhood."
An hour or two later the house of Mr.
Taggart was entered. The' thief obtained
admission through a side window, and, in
vading Mr. T.'s bedroom, took $45 from his
pants' pockets.
S.ome uneasiness is manifested, and
further raids are anticipated by those in the
neighborhood.
BETHE8DA HOME MATTERS.
A Number of Sites Reported and a Matron
Baft-seated.
The managers of the Bethesda Home held
a meeting in the Hamilton building yester
day. It was reported that a number of
available sites could be secured for the new
home, and one in particular at a reasonable
rent, but did not desire' to state its location.
In the matter of securing a matron the
subject was postponed for the present, but a
report was made that several applications
had been received, one of them from a Mrs.
Edison, of New York, who had been at the
head of a home of the same kind in Cleve
land. Mrs. JIair positively refused to serve
jn the capacity, but promised her hearty
support. '
After a short discussion of matters of
minor importance, the meeting adjonrned
until Tuesday next, when the charter will
be ready for signature.
