THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1890. AGAINST CHILD LABOR President Gompers Opposed to the System and Explains TVhT. . A LOGICAL VIEW OP THE MATTEB. Pitttslmrg Delegates Who Will Attend the Builders' Meeting. LTJHBEE HEN ELECT KEW OFFICIALS President Gompers, of the Federation of Labor, left yesterday morning for New York. He wanted to stay and wind up the electricians' strike, bnt important business in New York called him away. He de sired to have an interview with Manager "Wells, of the Keystone Construction Com pany, but left the matter with Vice Presi dent Martin to settle. On Sunday last Mr. Gompers was inter viewed by a Dispatch reporter on the statements made bySuperintecdent Michael Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, about child labor in factories. Mr. Dean said he doubted whether or not the condition of the working children in this city would be benefited by the recent factory inspection law. He also said tbe wages the children earn are a great help to their parents. Mr. Gompers logically answers this argument, and shows where the parents would be bet ter off if their children were Dot at work. In the interview President Gompers said : "In New York State e have a law that necessitates an affidavit from a parent certi fying to the age of a child before it can be employed in any capacity. They must also HAVE A CERTIFICATE from a school principal that tbe child has attended school for a certain period during the year. These statements must be con spicuously posted in the factory where the child is employed. "If it is a good thing, as Mr. Dean says, for children to be allowed to work at such a tender age in .order to help support their parents, it would seem to logically follow that it would still be better if they were put to work at the earliest possible age. The statement that the earnings of children wonld be used to support families can be answered best by not ing the hundreds of thousands of adults now out of employment. Very fre quently I have seen it to be the case when an adult was discharged, without cause, per haps, and the place given to a child. The reason is not for the purpose of swelling the revenue of the family of the child, but be cause the child works lor considerably less wages than the adult. I have seen cases of this kind in manufacturing cities and town?, and know whereof I speak. I know hun dreds of cases where the mother and child of a family have been employed in factories where the husband was at home attending to the domestic household dnties. THE REASON APPARENT. "The reason is that he could not be em ployed in the lactory except at higher wages than were being paid to tbe mother and child. If the man could earn $12 a week, an employer would give $7 or $8 to the mother and child. This is no case of suppo sition, and I know it exists. "The system Is entirely wrong and should be remedied. It can be done by proper legislation. The time is not far off when we shall see the child labor abolished alto gether. Of course there are a lew isolated cases where a child could be employed, and be a benefit to its mother while not keeping men ont of work. Parents can be compelled to send their children to school. Viry often the head ot a family is drunken and worth less, and compels his children to work in a factorv to keep him. They grow up ignor ant and without any education except what they pick np in the factory and on the streets In this last case the law must make the drunken loafersupport nis family. A" way of doing this has been suggested by imprisoning the man, compelli-iim it'or work, and the proceeds or bis labor used to support bis family. I am not in favor of this scheme, as it makes convict labor com pete with honest labor. When the children grow up to be 15 or 16 years of age they turn upon their parents and go to the had." A STOKLK PLAKT. Cnroegir, Phlppt. fc Co. Will Pat In the Smoke Consumer nt Heaver Falls. "Westinghouse, Church. Kerr & Co., have just received an order for a plant of the Honey mechanical stoker and smokeless fur nace. The order is from Carnegie, Phipps & Co., and the plant is to be erected in the Beaver falls mills. It is to contain 28 stokers. The Eoney stoker is a device for burning bituminous, or a mixture of bitumin ms and anthracite coal, slack and various waste products at a reduced cost of handling and firing, and without smoke. It is said to save 25 per cent in fuel. The stoker makes pos sible a complete system for the mechanical handling ot coal and ashes. A coal car is discharged into a hopper feeding to a pair ot toothed rolls which crack the large lumps. Tbe coal is elevated to the top ot the fire room, and taken to large storage bins. From these bins chutes lead to the hoppers of the stokers. Ashes are discharged by gravity from the ashpit into other chutes. Tbe system does away entirely with handling of every kind, as the fuel is not touched from the time the car bottom is dropped until the ashes are finally discharged on the dump. The device is held as a rival of natural gas for cleanli ness and convenience, and should the gas supply ever give out, and manufacturers be compelled to return to coal lor fuel, it is likely to be used in all large manufacturing establishments. The system has been adopted by Clans Spreckels & Co., the large sugar manufact urers. Their plant consists of 48 engines and 60 stokers. THE! DID US UP. Striking Electricians singing; the Refrain of the Popular Sons;. "They did us up just like simple gillies," is a song now being sung in a joyous tone at the headquarters of the striking electricians in Labor HalL It would be supposed that the song would be chanted in a mournful way, but this is not the case. Nearly every man who haunts the headquarters has taken up the refrain, but the knowledge that they will get work in other cities keeps their spirits up. As stated in The Dispatch yesterday, the strikers are leaving town, not caring to take chances on securing their posi tions again. Six of the East End men de parted for Cincinnati yesterday, and more will go "West this morning. The majority of the men are single. One of the Allegheny County Light Company men, who has $100 in a bank here, said he would draw it and leave tor Birmingham, Ala., in a few days. The strikers have as yet received no offi cial notice of tbe settlement of the strike. Until they do they cannot hold a meeting to decide what they shall do. They are greatly dissatisfied with the settlement of the strike, but they realize that President Gompers did all he could. THE IMPORTANT OFFICE. Pittsburg; Secnres It nt the Convention of Lumber Sealers. "Tr". S. Sharon, editor of the Journal of Building, yesterday received a telegram Afrom the convention of Inmber dealers at ayton. For the first time in the history of the Union Association, Pittsburg captured the most important office. At the election of officers the result was as follows: Presi dent, F. B. HcFarland, of Cincinnati; Vice President, Andrew Jackson, of Akron; Secretary and Treasurer, 'William Ahlers, ot Allegheny. The latter ii the most im portant office. It will enhance the interest in the association in this section, and will have a great influence on the trTTSe in the union. The delegates are now on their way to the lumber region north of Minnesota. The Pittsburg representatives will not be home until tbe first of next week. TO THE CONTENTION. The Contractors From This City Wilt Levea To-Nlgbt Over the Fort Wayne. The delegates from the Builders' Ex change and other Pittsburg contractors who will attend the annnal convention of the National Association of Builders, at St, Paul, will leave this evening for that point. Tbe following gentlemen will go: T. J. Hamilton. Samuel Francies. W. R. Stougbton. A. Rasner, W. a Sharon. Reese Lindsay. Samuel Steel. Alexander Hall and A. H. Lauman. They will leave via the Pittsburg, Fort "Wayne and Chicago road. Th Eastern delegates will travel on the Baltimore and Ohio. Thev will have a special builders train. Each State sending delegates will be represented on the train by a special car re served for delegates for that State. WINDING UP THEIR AFFAIRS. The Pittsburg nnd Southern Coal Company Abont Ready to Qnlt. As stated in "Wednesday's Dispatch, the Pittsburg and Southern Coal Company is about going under. After the meeting of the Board of Directors yesterday morning, Cap tain L N. Bunton said: "There are too many conflicting interests in this company, and we all concluded it best for each to conduct his own business. "We are selling off all our property and pay ing our debts, and when these objects are ac complished we will have the corporation dis solved." THE COAL TRADE. The Depressed Condition of Prices at Lower markets Continuing. Although local coal operators continue to send down tows every day or two, there is no improvement in the market at Cincin nati or Louisville. The brief cold snap braced up the retail market a little at these points, but did not affect wholesale prices any. Coal is still being offered at 5 and 6 cents a bushel. The operators have no fur ther expectations of enough cold weather to improve their trade, and the coal business is in bad condition as far as the producers are concerned. Wnnt to Move to Ohio. The Ditthridge Glass Company is about to move their plant from New Brighton. They want to get a site in an Ohio town where they can get free gas. SOUND AS A DOLLAR. An Unfortunate Error Growing Ont of tbe Recent Panic nt Wnyncsburg. Last Saturday's issue of several of the city papers. The Dispatch included, con tained a press telegram from "Waynesbnrg, Pa., in reference to a suit growing out of the Laramie Cattle Company failure, which re cently caused a flurry in Greene county. The correspondent stated that a suit which promises sensational features had been brought by the Farmers and Drovers' Bank, which he said failed a few months ago. This was an an erroneous statement, and one which we take pleasure in correcting immediately on our attention being called to it The Farmers and Drovers' Bank has been in existence for 50 years and never yet closed its doors. During the cattle com pany panic it stood a rnn of over $60,000, but a day or so afterward the alarmed de positors replaced their funds in the bank, fully satisfied that it was able to meet all demands. Some of those caught by the Laramie crash held stock and offered it for sale. The" par value -was 550 a share, and they readily disposed of it at $72 50. On the 13th inst. a new directory was chosen, as follows: President, George L. Wiley; Vice President, Hon. James In ghram; Cashier, A. L Lindsey; Directors, George L. "Wiley. James Inghram, Henry Grimes, Abuer Tharp, Samuel Harvey, B. H. Phelan, George Gordon, John LWorley, "William P. Smith, J. A. J. Buchanan, Captain J. B. Donley. Bank Examiner Miller has since the panic thoroughly over hauled the cash, accounts and securities of the hank, and assured the new directory that he was more than satis fied with the condition of af fairs. The last semi-annual dividend was 6 per cent, and, notwithstanding the ordeal through which the hank has passed, the directors expect better returns in tbe future. Director Phelan says that the suits erroneously reported last Saturday in no wise affect the bank or the present officers. They want tbe public to distinctly under stand that the Farmers and Drovers' has not and will not close its doors, but will promptly meet all demands at all times. THE FIRM WILL DISSOLTE. Mr. ItleKenn Retires Front Active Business to Give His Time to Uncle Sam. James S. McKean has determined to be entirely free from other business interests than the Pittsburg postoffice, having de cided to hnstle from early morn to dewy eve in the service of Uncle Sam. The firm of Duff, McKean & Co. will oease to exist on the 1st of April next by mutual agreement between the partners. Mr. Duff will retire from actual business to his extensive farm in Cbartiers township, having amassed a handsome competence in his 20 years' business career on Liberty street. He is worth close on to $150,000, and feels justified in enjoying relief from care. Mr. McKean has "placed heavy invest ments in manufacturing enterprises which do not demand bis personal attendance. The affairs of the firm are now being closed out, 3nd Mr. Gus Young and other employes of the firm are considering a number of advan tageous offers. The stock of the firm was placed on sale yesterday. The firm's lease, running for three years on the present building, has been disposed of to Daub Bros., commission merchants, now of 529 Liberty. Duff, McKean & Co. began business in October,1875, and in 1878 moved to the present location. Their First Accident. The first accident on the new Pleasant Valley electric road occurred yesterday morning, when one of the cars refused to respond to the brake, and began to slip down the hill on Sandusky street. It smashed into the platform of a Blue Line csr. The damage was very slight.

THE CITY'S HEALTH. Doctors Report a Slight Improve ment Since the Cold Snap. HOT MANY CASES OP PNEUMONIA. Pittsburtr Wasn't Afflicted With la Grippe Like Other Cities. PHYSICIANS BLAME THE WET WEATHER If a "green Christmas makes a fat grave yard," as the old adage runs, the cemeteries of Pittsburg ought to be covered with fresh mounds. The open winter has been pro ductive of all manner of diseases outside of the grip. Hundreds of people have been suffering with lung trouble, pneu monia, rheumatism, bad colds and kindred complaints which have swelled the bank accounts of the practicing physicians. "While the sister cities of Pittsburg have been afflicted with influenza, this city and Allegheny have been remarkably free from the European epidemic Thousands of cases have been re ported in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Chicago, St. Paul and intermediate places, but in Pittsburg and Allegheny verv few people have been attacked by it. "Why this h so has never been definitely ex plained. City Physician "Woodburn, of Allegheny, says the disease, or rathe the germs, maybe carried from place to place by the wind, and as this phvsician has been enjoying "Western zephyrs, this circumstance may account for the escape of Pittsburg citizens. The open winter, the damp weather, the almost continual rainfall, has contributed to the general state of ill health which has pervaded the community. Although no positive epidemic has prevailed, many people have been suffering from a variety of diseases, tbe most of them of a trivial na ture. And although the death rate has been slightly on the increase, the number of deaths has not been so great as to alarm the health officials. NOT MUCH PNEUMONIA HEBE. Pneumonia, which is as dangerous to the athlete as the invalid, has been felt very little in Pittsburg. A Dispatch reporter visited a number of the prominent physi cians of the city yesterday, but in every case they stated that before the cold weather commenced they had more patients who were affected by the weather than they have at present. The (tamp weather is more con ducive to ill-health than the sudden attack of the cold wave, and none can judge better of this fact than the doctors. Dr. A. M. Speer, of Penn avenue, has been confined to his residence for two weeks with something which very much re sembles la grippe, but he expects to be able to attend to his patients by the first of next week. Dr. O. "W. Sadler, the specialist, stated that he had had a few more patients during the last two or three days who were afflicted with throat trouble than for two weeks pre viously, but that during the wet weather he was constantly besieged by people whose throats were affected. Drs. Matson and McKennan said they knew of very few cases where the patient conld trace his affliction to the cold weather of the last three or four days. There are a great number of people, they stated, who are suffering from bad colds this winter, caused, of course, by the inclement weather, but it cannot by any means be called an epidemic Dr. John Dickeon was found seated in an easy chair reading The Dispatch, and with a long muffler wrapped half a dozen times aronnd his massive neck. He has been ill for the past week with a cold in bis head, a cold on his lungs, and cold through his entire system. He said he had not been attending to any patients for some time ex cept himself, but would be able to be out in the course of a few days. u Dr. J. A. Lippincott has not been able to be out for two weeks. PEOPLE WHO ABE SICK. Dr. Charles W. Shaw said that he had not noticed any extra cases of the influenza, and the patients who were afflicted by the change in the weather were very few con sidering the unfavorable conditions. Robert Pitcairn, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who has been very ill for several days, was able to get down to Dr. Binge man's office yesterday, and appeared to be much better. C. F. McKenna, Esq., has been laid up for a couple of days with something like the grip, bnt it has not yet developed into any thing serious. "This has been a great winter for physi cians," said a member of that professiou yesterday. "The weather has been dis agreeable and the atmosphere full of dis ease gerru', but Pittsburg has been remark ably fortunate in escaping an epidemic Nearly every other man you meet has a cold, but in 99 cases out of 100, he is only temporarily afflicted. Of course a cold needs looking alter, else it may develop into catarrh, or, perhaps, settle on the lungs and terminate in pneumonia." The Bureau of Health reports at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon showed only five deaths in the city, two of diphtheria, one of scar latina, one from marasmus, and the last of exhaustion, not a bad day's record lor a bad day. The ladies of the Society for the Improve ment of the Poor, whose duties take them on periodical visits to the houses of the poor, report that there are an appalling number of cases of sickness among the proteges of their society. On their return irom visiting yesterday afternoon the ladies reported that they had found a sick person in every house they went into on "Wednes day and yesterday. In some houses there were as many as three or four cases. TIPH0ID FEVER CERTIFICATE The Prize Suggested br a Councilman for Itlonongahelo. Water Drinkers. Mark Donley, Councilman of the Twenty fourth ward, was met in City Hall yester day afternoon, and asked when the commit tee of Councils appointed to investigate the question of the pollution of the Monon gahcla "Water "Works by the Beck's Bun schindery would meet, and replied: "1 don't Know, and I am tired of Council committee meetings which don't meet. Let the Chair man call a meeting as he should do, and it will be attended to. I don't think that the discussions of Council committees will aid much in removing a nuisance which is maintained outside the city limits, bnt I do think that tbe recommendation of Councils, based on the report or such a committee, would have some weight with the State Board of Health, and might be used with effect in the abatement of a nuisance! "I'll tell you another thing. I don't very much think that Council committees ought to waste time in taking care of the health of people who don't seem to take enough in terest in the subject to take care of it them selves, and you cannot pnt that too strongly. It they wish to drink diluted mud and the solution of offal as a sort ot flavoring to tbe thousands of vaults up the river without a murmur, they ought to get a prize in tbe shape of a first-class typhoid fever certificate of disease from the nearest doctor."

A boom in the business of underground electrio and other wires was reported at the annual meeting yesterday afternoon of the Standard Underground Cable Company The meeting had been adjourned from a previous occasion, and a large number of stockholders were present. The capital stock of the company is $1,000,000. Election of officers was the first business, and Mr. George "Westinghouse, Jr., was elected president of the company. The fol lowing gentlemen were elected to serve as directors for the ensuing year: Messrs. George "Westinghouse, Jr., Bobert Pitcairn, Caleb H. Jackson, Mark "W. "Watson, John H. Dalzell, J. "W. Marsh and Henry Snyder. The directors will meet to-day and re-elect Vice President and General Man ager Caleb H. Jackson, Secretary J. W. Marsh and Treasurer Elmer L.White, there being no opposition to either of the gentle men. Manager Caleb H. Jackson submitted his annual statement, which was as follows: The report of the company shows a business ot 615,000 for tbe Tear 1889, with a net profit of nearly 8110,000, or 11 per cent of the par value of the capital stock, which brings the present surplus of the company to upward of $140,000. Tbe company starts the new year with orders on hand at this date aggregating $135,000. The cables and wires have been sold during the year of 1889 to 255 customers. These customers are situated in almost every State and Terri tory of tbe United States, and In Canada, New Moxico, Cuba, South America, Africa, India and Europe. In order to handle the increase in the com pany's bnsiness during the year 1889, the com pany erected a new two story factory, covering the entire remainder of the large lot at Six teenth street and Allegheny Valley railroad, and a large quantity of new machinery was also purchased and put in operation. The Allegheny county improvements mentioned in the report cost in the vi cinity of $30,000, and the buildings have only recently been completed and well fitted up. No further improvements are contem plated during the present year. No divi dend was declared at the meeting yesterday. Manager Jackson stating to the stockholders that it was deemed advisable to retain such amount as would pass as a dividend in order to finish up some business now on hand. To a Dispatch reporter Mr. Jackson stated that within three months a 10 per cent divi dend wonld be declared. Street rumors have it that the stock of the company has recently jumped from 60 to 90, but Mr. Jackson preferred to say nothing about it CAN'T MOST ALWAYS TELL. Oil Borers Pnzzled by the Erratic Wind Ings of the Sand Belt. The roads in Stowe and Chartiers town ships are getting somewhat smooth and as people are again beginning to get within hailing distance of each other, interest in oil development is again growing. The Byrne well No. 1, near Brushton station, is thought to be dry, though some people still hold to hope. Like all territory nowadays, the blanks in the lottery are quite numerous. The .Byrne well, thought to be dry, is but 320 teet from the Depp No. 1, which is now several months old and still yielding 100 barrels a day, and Depp No. 2 is also close and doing ZOO barrels a day. borne say tbe Arbuckle No. 2, which is but a short dis tance from No. 1 which has done so much, is thought by most people to be very small, and others think it will not pay for pump ing. The Beck No. 1, on Michael Beck's place, east of tbe Arbuckle No. 1 and close to Cbartiers creek, is said, by some, to show for a big well, while others think it will be dry. A derrick has been built on the O'Brien place, near Beck's place. Some people think good sand will be found east of the Arbuckle where skepticism was strong a few weeks ago. The popularity of Salvation Oil is not as tonishing when we hear of its many cures.
