'STATUS OF THE PROGRESSIVE UXION.
The Membership Had DccHnrd Greatly, hut is Kcw
ontlielncieasr.
In the Knights of Labor and Progressive
Union Conventions at Colnnibus'yesterday
resolutions forming an amalgamation of the
miners organizations were passed. There
is some opposition, however, which may
prove formidable. Committees were ap
pointed to arrange for the joint session to-dav.
Columbus, January 22 The first impor
tant step looking to the amalgamation of
the two great miners organizitions has been
taken. Both the Miners Progressive
Union and National District Assembly 135,
K. of L., at their conventions to-day, de
clared in favor of one organization. Not
only this but the general plan of amalga
tion proposed some time ago was approved.
It is likeiy that when the joint convention
assembles to-morrow the real opposition to
the movement will be developed. There
are many of the delegates to botn conven
tions who do not understand the proposed
form of amalgamation. A number, particu
larly of the Knights, have formed opinions
which Jjiey declare they will not change,
though their votes may not be cast in ac
cordance with the same. The principal ob
jection urged is that one of the two organ
izations will be swallowed up by the other
when the union is formed.
DIVERGENCE Or VIEWS.
Tho essential features of, the two organi
zations are so widely different that it isn't
at all probable the members of either wonld
become proselytes on so short a notice.
The convention of the National Pro
gressive Union assembled at 10:30 A. M.
President John McBride called the conven
tion to order, and the body was addressed
by N. R. Hysell, Speaker of the House of
.Representatives. Mr. Hysell was formerly
a prominent leader ot tn miners, and was
enthusiastically received. He said he was
gratified to know there was an immediate
prospect of the miners amalgamating. It
was the great opportunity to relieve the
distress in the ranks of the miners. He
oflered some disinterested suggestions as to
the spirit which the miners should maintain
to insure a successful union of forces.
President John McBride delivered his
annual address. He spoke at length on the
question of amalgamation, and reviewed
the history of the present movement, add
ing an explanation of the plan of amalgama
tion proposed. He anticipated trouble in
arranging the details of organization and
cautioned the delegates to maintain a calm
and even temper in discussing questions in
the joint convention.
XX ADVANCE IN WAGES.
He favored action by the joint conven
tion looking to an advance in wages, and
advised that the offices of secretary and
treasurer of the union be consolidated and
office of secretary treasurer established.
President McBride also spoke in favor of
reducing the hours of labor to eight hours
per day.
Patrick McBride, Financial Secretary
and Treasurer, presented his report, which
is important and interesting as shorn nn- the
fluctuations of the membership of labor
- organization's. He said:
The transition from the old federation to our
present form of union was not as rapid as ez-
pected at the start. This was demonstrated by
the fact that on the first of February there
were less than 3.000 miners in the Progressive
Union. Yet by the end of March we had suc
ceeded In enrolling 15,000 members. From that
date onr organization again suffered reverses
which continued until October 1, when onr
membership was reduced fully two-thirds. The
cause of the rapid decline in the numerical
strength of the organization may be explained
Dy the following reasons: First, the strike in
the coal fields of Indiana and Northern Illinois
which included 5,000 of our members; second,
the fierce conflict which was waged between
miners' rival organizations; third, the dissatis
faction that naturally found expression in the
ranks of the miners caused by the very un
warranted reductions in mining rates which
they were forced in a grei.t measure to accept;
fourth, the stoppage of a number of mines
through the dullness of trade and the partial
suspension of others, rendering the miners un
able to pay their dues regularly.
A CHANGE FOE BETTEB.
From October 1 until the ,! the present
term there has been a marked improvement in
the organization. On Jan iry 1 we had over
10,000 members, since which time District M,
comprising the State of Iowa, has been organ
ized with five locals. Reports from Indiana.
Illinois, West Virgini i and other parts of the
country indicate that by the end of the
present month our organization will have at
tained a membership greater than at any time
since its institution. In December, lbSS. the
Executive Board recognized that it the condi.
tion of miners in the better organized portions
of the competitive district was to be improved
the miners in Southern Illinois, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania must be moved Into line.
The President, with that object in view, sent
organizers into those States. Although onr
organization spent nearly $500 trying to have
scale rates established in those parts of the
competitive field, the efforts were almost, if
not entirely, neutralized through the machina
tions of a class of men who seemingly were
more devoted to the form of an organization
than to the interest of onr suffering craft.
Secretary McBryde reported receipts for
the year amounting to f9,093 and expendi
tures S8.955. The question of machine min
ing was discussed briefly. It appears by the
present schedule of mining rates the operat
ors who employ pick miners have an advan
tage over the operators using machines. An
effort is to be made to adjust the scale of
mining rates so that the operators using ma
chines in their mines will receive some com
pensation for the additional capital in
Tested. THE GEEAT QUESTION.
The question of amalgamation was
Brought up by the committee composed of
David Boss. C. H. Penn a A V TJ-.rll
TV. N. Turner, James Cole and Wm. "War
burton, submitting the following report:
Whebeas, The Competitive District Con
vention, at its session in Indianapolis last
month declared in favor of one organization,
one defense fund, one set of officers, and equal
taxation, therefore be it 4
Resolved, That we favor a dissolution of both
organizations to the extent that the objects
therein specified may be accomplished. J
The report was adopted unanimously
without discussion. A committee composed
of John McBride, John Kane and Ebenezer
Howells was appointed to meet a similar
committee from National District Assembly
135, K. of L., and arrange the order ol busi
ness for the joint convention to-morrow.
Telegrams were received from President
Gompers, of the American Federation of
Labor, and Secretary Martin, of the Iron
and Steel workers' Association, congratu.
luting the Progressive Union upon the pros
pect ot amalgamation.
The convention of National District As
sembly 135, K. of D., was called to order by
Grand Master "Workman John B. Bea. A
large proportion of the delegates are from
the coke regions of Pennsylvania. The en
tire afternoon was spent in discussing the
proposed amalgamation. As the sessions of
the assembly am secret, but little could be
learned of the proceedings. It is under
stood, however, the question was spiritedly
discussed. A small minority of the dele
gates formed an opposition. Their chiei rea
son for opposing amalgamation was the sup
position that the Progressive Union miners
were not sincrere in the movement. It
seemed at one time as if the opposition would
control the sentiment ol the convention, but
the tide was fortunately turned by a master
ly speech from Secretary Robert "Watchorn.
Mr. Watchorn brought the delegates to a
full realization ot the situation by setting
forth th consequence, which would result
now afford to orjnosa a union of forces. It
would be destructive to the best interests of
the organization, and supply capital for
building np a rival union.
A resolution favoring amalgamation bnt
containing a large number of additional
clauses, was offered bv John Nugent, Master
Workman of Sub-division 6. This resolution
did not meet with general favor, and an
amendment was offered and adopted as fol
lows: Resolved. That we approve the action of the
national officers, ana apprive the plan of amal
gamation laid down by them.
There were no dissenting votes to this
amendment, and the resolution as amended
was unanimously adopted. A committee
composed of Master "Workman Rea, Secre
tary "Watchorn and Daniel Lennon was ap
pointed to meet a similar committee from the
Miners' Progressive Union and confer as to
lurtber proceedings in the joint convention.
The joint committee had a long session to
night. THE OLD MAFS MONEY

nnd Teiln ent A Decision Finally
Reached In the Celebrnlod
Webater Case.
Chicago, January 22. The celebrated
"Webster case was decided by Judge Tuley
this morning in favor of the son, "William
E. Webster, and against the wife of Rich
ard "Webster and his three daughters. The
Websiers had two sons, "William and Rob
ert, and three daughters. In 1875 diffi
culties arose between "William and his
mother, and there was litigation which
made bad blood. In 1884 there was talk by
Richard of settling his estate on William.
There was a falling out then between Rich
ard and his wi .'e.The daughters sided with the
mother, and William with the father. Mrs.
Webster opposed Richard's scheme of giv
ing his property to William. Mrs. "Web
ster began suit against Richard for separate
maintenance.
There was evidence given at the trial that
one of the daughters beat her father, who
was an old man and very infirm. Richard
said he could no longer stand the treatment
of his wife and daughters, and bis son Will
iam took him to Rogers Park. Robert, the
second son, died in July, 18S4, and gave all
his property some 40,000 to his mother
and sisters. William cared lor the old man
at Rogers Park. Mrs. Webster tried to
have a conservator appointed for her hus
band, as a habitual drunkard, bnt failed.
Richard became partially paralyzed, hear
ing of which, Mrs. Webster went to Rogers
Park to take him home, but she returned
without him. To get his father away from
Mrs. Webster, William took him to North
ern Michigan in a verv wild neighborhood
near Petosky, where he was kept in seclu
sion for seven months.
Detectives employed by Mrs. Webster got
n his tracks, and William then took him to
Burgoyne, an obscure town in Canada,
where he left him and returned to Chicago.
Richard died in a hotel near Burgoyne in
November, 1886. After Richard Webster's
death two documents were produced which
he was said to have executed. One was a
will dated September 15, 1884, and the other
was a deed executed March 27, 1886, by
which deceased left all of his estate, worth
some 520,000, to William. A contest was
at once instituted by Mrs. Webster.

rSPJEClAX TELEGBAU TO TUB DISPATCH.l
New xobe, January 22. Ex-Governor
Thomas A. Osborn, of Kansas, was at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel to-day. and chatted with his
friends about the probable successor of Sena
tor Ingalls. He said : "If tho Republican ma
jority In Kansas Is large enough next fall, I
think the m littla donbt abont Senator In
galls succeeding himself. His career in the
Senate has been very distinguished, and the
Seople of Kansas would be loth to relegate
im to private life. . ...
There may be candidates against mm, and
certain interests may Join to try and defeat
him, but no one believes that If the usual Re
publicanimajority Is elected to the Legislature
that he jrill not be elected. Kansas is at all
times a Republican State."

Coughing
IS Nature's effort to expel foreign sub
stances from the bronchial passages.
Frequently, this causes inflammation
and the need of an anodyne. No other
expectorant or anodyne is equal to
Ayer"s Cherry Pectoral. It assists
Nature in ejecting the mucus, allays
irritation, induces repose, and is the
most popular of all cough cures.
"Of the many preparations before the
public for the cure of colds, coughs,
bronchitis, and kindred diseases, there
is none, within the range of my experi
ence, so reliable as Ayer's Cherry Pec
toral. For years I was subject to colds,
followed by terrible coughs. About four
years ago, when so afflicted, I was ad
vised to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and
to Lay all other remedies aside. I did
so, and within a week was well of my
cold and cough. Since then I have
always kept th3 preparation in the
house, and feel comparatively secure."
Mrs. L. Ij. Brown, Denmark, Miss.
"A few years ago I took a severe cold
which affected my lungs. I had a ter
rible cough, and passed night after
night without sleep. The doctors gave
me up. I tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral,
which relieved my lungs, induced sleep,
and afforded the rest necessary for the
recovery of my strength. By the con
tinual use of the Pectoral, a permanent
cure was effected." Horace Falrbrother,

Mistaken Policy.
The occasions for selling
clothing at real half price or
25 per cent discount are rare
and extraordinary. The rea
sons, too, are pecttliar to the
goods and time.
When it's used as an al
most daily device to draw
trade it grows stale-and loses
force. It carries doubt of
value on its face.
The storekeeper doesn't
think it worth his price! Why
shouldn't you fear it is high,
even at the advertised reduc
tion? Our solid and reliable make
of clothing needs no such
stilts to bring buyers.
Its recommendation, day
after day, is its quality, its
style, its excellence for the
price. f
We believe the best way to
get your ear is to avoid ex
aggeration's1. Our clothing wears well.
You get the most for your
iiiuncy. we a ratner sell a
thousand garments worth our
price than two thousand that
weren't.
Consider that.

HAVE NO RIYALS IN POPULARITY.
We stand alone as the only absolutely One Price Cash House in
our line of business in Pittsburg and -e tower above the small fry like
the giant oak in a forest of saplings.
One of Pittsburg's most conservative citizens asked us the other day
for THE SECRETS OF OUR GREAT SUCCESS. We gave it to hirn,
and for the benefit of the scores of thousands of the readers of Tho
Dispatch, here they are, just as we gave them to him:
First: We represent matters truthfully to our patrons.
Second: We are strictly one price dealers. "
Third: We aim to handle reliable goods only.
Fourth: We treat every one alike, rich or poor.
Fifth: We name lowest prices in the city.
Sixth: We guarantee all we sell to give every satisfaction or
we cheerfully and promptly return purchase money.
Seventh: We keep goods to suit everybody.
Eighth: We say what we can do and we do what we say.
We have dealings with all classes of people from the good, plain,
every-day laborer, his wife and children, who come trudging to our store
on foot in all sorts of weather, to the millionaire, the millionaire's wife
and millionaire's children, who visit our establishment in well appointed
equipages. To everybody we are polite, attentive and courteous, to all
prompt and liberal in our dealings. They each speak good words of us
because of our fair, liberal and honest dealings with them. With us it
has always been not how much we could get ior our reliable goods, but
how low we could sell them for.
You Read Other Clothiers Advertisements,
Of course! Manv of vou have resnonded to them, and what Tiav -nn
found tiiem to be in the main? Words, idle words. Braggadocio and
sensationalism find no place with us; our store is the-home of TRUTH1
We are indebted neither to shrewd advertising, nor good location for
our good name. Our location is what we ourselves have made it.
"Discount," "Sacrifice" and "Bargain" Sales
have sprung up on all sides this month. In this connection let us im
press it upon you that we're alive to the situation. No odds how low
Overcoats, Suits, Pants, Hats, Caps, Furnishing Goods or Footwear are
offered elsewhere, you are always certain of finding the same things
(but of better quality) here for less money. Don't allow your foresight
to be blinded by the dust the clothing "fakirs" kick up.
"OUR AIM IS PERFECTION; OUR MOTTO IS TRUTH."
Parents, the time is drawing near (Saturday, February 1, is the day)
when the competition closes for our Grand Drawing Book Prizes. If
your children have not finished their drawings yet, hurry them up and
let us have their work. Competent and impartial judges will decide on
the merits of each individual drawing.
