SELECTIONJIF A SITE
Tile Library Location Dis
cussed by Citizens.
LAND ON DMUESNE WAY,
Owned by the City, is Proposed by
Col. Thomas P. Roberts.
OTHER IDEAS AND SUGGESTIONS.
The chief topic of conversation on the
streets yesterday was Mr. Carnegie's liberal
offer to tne city to found a first-class public
library. It was discussed pro and con and
everybody was highly elated with the mill
ionaire's generosity. There is little donbt
expressed that councils will fail to accept
the gift. In fact, the feeling is such that
woe betide the municipal legislator who
should vote against accenting the gift be
cause the donator asks the city to support it.
At present the subject which attracts most
interest is the location of the central build
ing. Many people agree that a site in the
old city should be selected, though there is
a strong movement on foot in Oakland to
have the main library built there. What
this movement may amount to remains to
be seen, but already a generous rivalry for
place is springing up. The Oakland peo
ple claim that the city is building in that
direction, and the time may come some day
when the business center of Pittsburg may
be moved out there.
CKSTEAL LOCATION.
For this reason they advocate taking time
by the forelock and placing the building
where it will be centrally located. It is un
derstood, coming from a near friend of Mr.
Carnegie, that the millionaire prefers to
have the main building erected beyond
Grant street, in the direction of the East
End.
A number of people were interviewed yes
terday by Dispatch reporters, and invari
ably the question of location seemed to be
uppermost in their minds. It may be said
that even Mr. Carnegie doesn't know where
the library will be placed, and in fact no
body else does. When Colonel T. P. Rob
erts was seen yesterday and asked for his
opinion, the genial Uolonei repuea:
"Since Mr. Carnegie's magnificent present
of a public library to this city, with quar
ters in the same building for the proposed
academy of sciences, is now an assured fact,
awaiting only an acceptance by this city, it
may be well to speak of where such a build
ing should be located. It is, as a matter of
course, presumable that the city will accept
the easy terms imposed by Mr. Carnegie,
and that the bnilding will go up. It occurs
to me that the primary considerations to be
taken into account in determining upon the
choice of sites for such a building, which
promises to be almost nightly, the meeting
place of readers, members of scientific socie
ties, etc., and daily, at all hours, the ren
dezvous of patrons of the library, should be
first:
POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED.
"Accessibility from all parts of the city
to the benefit of the greatest number; and
second, a location where ample room on all
sides of the structure can be had for the ad
mission of light and for proper ventilation.
Third A location where the architectural
features of the building will show to the
greatest advantage; fourth, where the cost
of securing a site will not unreasonably tax
the capital fund donated for the purpose.
"I will say nothing here asto the loca
tions of the subordinate libraries and read
ing rooms suggested by Mr. Carnegie, ex
cepting to remark 'that I think Mr.
Carnegie is far-seeing and wise in
proposing such a system. Those who
think free libraries are not going to
be extensively patronized by our people
need only visit any large city where such
institutions are maintained. Our present
Mercantile Library affords no criterion, I
am well convinced, in estimating whatafree
library may be worth. No persons fall in
love with libraries until they have some idea
of the contents of the books, and but lew
people will pay anything for knowledge in
advance of a real desire far it, and an igno
rant man can, therefore, have no conception
of his wants until his appetite for knowl
edge has been sharpened by a taste. Mr.
Carnegie, no doubt, understands this ques
tion fully, and has provided admirably for
the gratification of the coming wants.
A PLAN LOKG CONSIDERED.
"Over a year ago I suggested in the col
umns of The Dispatch that the Pittsburg
Carnegie Library building be located on
Duquesne way, between the Sixth street
bridge and Fifth street This is a central
, point. In the first place it is near the
terminus of the cable roads leading to East
Liberty and Lawrenceville and the lines
leading to the 'West End orTemperanceville
district, and although Mr. Carneeie has
provided liberally for Allegheny, still for
certain purposes it would be well to consider
the 120,000 people of Allegheny in the loca
tion of the building. There is a space on
the wharf there available between the
streets named of almost exactly two acres of
ground. Where else can such an area be
obtained without consuming the bulk of
the 51,000,000 donated by Mr. Carnegie for
a site alone? On such an area the archi
tectural features of the building can be
displayed to the greatest possible ad
vantage, "This property belongs to the city, and the
cost of the necessary wall along the river
front, and filling it up to the desired height,
will be a very insignificant sum, as com
pared to securing any site which may be
proposed elsewhere in the business part of
the city. The Duquesne way site is worthy
of the serious attention of the committee
which may be called upon to determine the
location of the proposed building."
OTHEE PRACTICAL IDEAS.
"Miss McCmm, of the Pittsburg Library,
was interviewed with regard to the future
Carnegie structure. Miss McCrum is a
practical librarian, and any statement of
hers with regard to the arrangement, pur
chase, or location of books necessarily car
ries weight. Miss McCrum suggested as tbe
best possible site for the library the part of
Duquesne way between the new natatorinm
and the Exposition building. "No hurry
ought to be made in getting the book's to
gether," she continued. "The object of the
people in charge of the purchase ought not
to be so much the spending of the money al
lotted to them as the careful selection of
books. A good reference library, and a few
valuable standard works, ought first to be
got together.
"A mistake that library authorities fre
quently fall into, is to get hold of a cata
logue and buy indiscriminately all, or
nearly all the books advertised. One good
thing in connection with the Pittsburg
Library is that the management will have
time to watch the mistakes of their prede
cessors in Allegheny and avoid like pitfalls.
MUCH TO BE REGKEITED.
"By the way, what a pity there is such a
dispute going on in Allegheny over the
library. It looks very badly, does it not?
A gentleman was remarking yesterday that
it would be a good idea if all the gentle
men who are fighting for the right to man
age tbe books were compelled to submit lists
of 50 or 100 suitable books. I think that
ought to silence some of them."
Mr. William Martin had not paid mnch
attention to the library question. "It is a
good way off yet," he remarked, "and it
will be time enough to talk of it when it
really exists. I don't imagine that laboring
men will ever patronize it very much. For
any of them thsit do technical works would
be required. The site or outward appear
nuce of the building does not make any dif
ference. A library is a collection of books,
and a collection of books is all we want."
Secretary Beisfar was of opinion that the
library was too far from being a fait ac
compli just yet to be talked about. When
the time arrived for stocking it with books,
the management would have some difficult
work. "Commercial, and technical books,"
continued Mr.Beisfar, "seem to me to be the
books wanted. As for what you call 'stand
ard works,' they ought to be placed in a sec
ondary position. The library is intended for
the working classes and their instruction.
Mr. William Thaw, when he presented his
books to our teacher's library, expressly
stipulated that no work of fiction should be
purchased. In this case the technical
works come first, the other books mfght be
bought subsequently."
PEOF. LTJCKEY'S VIEWS.
Superintendent Luckey said he preferred
a central location convenient to the cable
roads. He thought tbe best site was the
Kearns drugstore property, corner Grant
and J; nth avenue, Dut ne understood Air.
Carnegie was opposed to this location. He
believed the Liberty and Market street tri
angle at the foot of Fifth avenue would be
a good place, but the shape is not desirable,
and the space is rather limited; in addition
the ground is very costly. Superintendent
Luckey, however, favors a location some
where in the Old City. As to the selection
of books, be said that could be discussed
later. What is needed first is the buildings
to put the books in.
When John S.. Lambie was asked if he
had yet received Mr. Carnegie's letter to
Councils, he replied that he had not, and he
didn't expect it before to-day, and then it
will not be published before it is presented
to the municipal bodies. He could not see
that much could be added to the full de
scription of the scheme published in The
Dispatch yesterday.
William Witherow, of the Duquesne,
said: "I admire Mr. Carnegie's public
spirit and generosity. I think it much
better for a man who has money to place it
where it will do some good, rather than
have lawyers fight over it after he is dead,
as in the case of the Stewart estate. Mr.
Carnegie has the right idea, and he will
never regret it He is doing something
that will perpetnate his name, and always
will stand as a monument to his liberality."
' THE LEEDS ilBBAKT.
Mr. Frank Sawer, of E. E. Levi's book
store, on Liberty street, talked in an inter
esting way of the library system of Leeds,
Eogland.'his native town. He says: "The
central library contains upward of 350,000
volumes, of which about 80,000 are refer
ence books and the same number fiction.
Then there are four branch libraries, sit
uated at various parts, which contain from
12,000 to 25.000 volumes. These are located
at points beyond convenient reach of the
people living some distance from the cen
tral part of tbe city. Besides tbe above
there are at least 12 or 14 smaller libraries,
containing 1,000 to 4,000 bookc These are
placed in the school buildings, and are ac
cessible on two, three or four nights a week,
according to the size of the collection. In
the main library all books are removable
except those in the reference department
Anyone can have the books who can show a
voucher from a rate payer, or citizen, as be
wonld be termed here, add on payment of 1
penny per annum. This is found to be suf
ficient to defray all the expense of main
taining the institution."
Mr. Levi also was asked about what effect
it might have on the business of the book
sellers. He most emphatically declares in
favor of it, and cites instances to prove that
the presence of large free libraries, instead
of injuring the book business, adds to it.
"Libraries create readers, and readers un
doubtedly create demand for hooks," said
Mr. Levi, "for when a man learns to valne
a book particularly he wants to own it
Boston is the home of libraries in the United
States, and more books are sold in that city
than in any other of the same size in the
country."
WHERE DANGER LORES.
Inspector McEwen Finds it in Deficient
Sewage and Garbage Heaps.
James M. McEwen, Chief Sanitary In
spector, has made his report of operations
for the year ending January 31. It shows,
in brief, 8,248 nuisances abated and 3,145
cases of contagious diseases visited. Tbe re
port further shows that what is known as
tbe old city, the First and Second districts,
containing the first eight wards, and tbe
Ninth district, the lower Soutliside, the
Thirtieth, Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth, Thirty-fifth
and Thirty-sixth wards, were more
free from contagious diseases than the East
End, which is not nearly so densely
populated as the old city and West End.
Mr. McE iren accounts for this from the facts
that the old portion, of the city is better sew
ered than the East End, and the lower
Southside is so located that natural drain'
age is qnite good, while in the East End
foul water saturates the earth to such an ex
tent as to poison the atmosphere. An im
provement is expected when the Negley
Bun and Thirty-third street sewers are com
pleted. The Inspector calls attention to the neces
sity for garbage furnaces. There is but one,
and only a small portion of the people find
it convenient to send offal to it, and 'twould
be no better if they were to do so, as its ca
pacity is insufficient He urges the erec
tion of more such furnaces, one or two on
tbe Southside and two in the East End dis
trict "
TINT WEATHER FORECASTERS.
Ancle Worms Found Near the Surface of
the Ground All Winter.
Some people, .not of tbe superstitious class
either, are beginnng to think that some ani
mals, reptiles, fowls and insects know more
about the weather than do trained meteor
ologists. It is said that squirrels, pigs,
muskrats, birds, snakes and several varie
ties of insects have all testified by their ac
tions that they did not expect much frost
this winter and now the worms have made
their confession of faith.
Excavators say that angle or fish worms
are found even vet within two inches of the
surface of the ground. A rural naturalist
says these creatures may not know very
much, bnt what they do know they know

A LEGAL SHUTDOWN.
Coal Operators' Plan to Get Even With
the Railroad Companies.
BIHDING CONTRACTS TO BE MADE.
A Determined Effort to Break the Forty
Mile Radios Sole, or
TAKE ALL OP THE CARS OUT OP SERVICE
The Pittsburg railroad coal operators are
threatening to shut down their mines. It is
not an idle threat, but the action will be
taken in a legal way. The mines will be
tied up in such a shape that it will be be
yond the power of any individual operator
to start his works. The cause 6( this shut
down is on account of the- alleged unjust
treatment in the matter of rates tbe opera
tors are receiving from the t railroad com
panies. The operators say if they can close
down the majority of tbe mines and take
their cars out of service, the railroads will
soon be glad enough to make lower rates in
order to get the business.
A full meeting of coal operators interested
in mining the Pittsburg vein of coal and in
favor of reducing the 40-mile radius, so as
to include only the true Pittsburg seam of
coal, was held yesterday at the rooms of the
Pittsburg Coal" Association. D. Reisinger
was elected Chairman, and G. W. Schlue
derberg. Secretary. After the meeting a
Dispatch reporter gathered the following
facts:
AGAINST THE If EW LAW.
Some two or more years ago, when the
inter-State commerce act passed, it came
into operation j ust at tbe usual yearly period
for naming the rates of coal for the year
following. The coal competing with Pitts
burgin the lake markets is hauled to the lakes
from tbe Ohio mines, an average distance
of about 100 miles. The distance from Pitts
burg to lake ports is 150 miles. Now the
railroad people, having the inter-State
commerce act suddenly sprung upon
them, and not fully understanding its
scope or bearing and to be on the
safe side, believed it necessary that
the rate on Pittsburg coal should cover as
many miles as the Ohio competing coal was
hauled, and therefore added 40 miles to
Pittsburg's 150, making 190 miles the aver
age distance of Ohio coal from the lake
market This ungeologized tbe district,
and brought unfairly into competition with
tbe true Pittsburg vein the seven-foot vein
of coal which is produced at a less cost, of
from 25 to 35 cents per ton, than the trne
Pittsburg seam, and which had always be
fore borne a higher rate of freight to the
markets.
CAPITAL WAS STIMULATED.
This even rate of freight on coal from the
two seams gave such an undue and un
natural advantage to the thicker vein that
capital has been stimulated to develop the
thicker vein before the markets naturally re
quire it, and ultimately to the exclusion
Irom the market of the thinner vein of coal
which had deservedly held the market be
cause of its natural and geographical posi
tion. In order to cure the evil which resulted
from the aforesaid inadvertance of the rail
road people, the operators in the thinner
vein have been laboring for tbe last two
years, by appeals to reason based upon the
railroad company's self-interest solely.leav
ing in the background the questionof jus
tice to the coal operator, but without being'
able to remedy the evil, or to obtain a
sound reason from the railroad people why
the evil should not be abated.
A meeting was held between the thin
coal men and the railroad people in New
York on last Friday, at which the repre
sentatives of tbe Pennsylvania Bailroad
Company, Pennsylvania Company and the
Pittsbnrg and Western Railroad Company,
attempted to reduce the railroad grouping
to one having geology as its basis. They
were opposed by the representatives of the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie Companies, and finally ad
journed to meet at tbe Baltimore and Ohio
offices in this city, on the 14th inst
ANOTHER MEETING ON FBIDAY.
The meeting of the thin coal operators,
held yesterday, was for the purpose of gath
ering data to present to the meeting next
Friday, and further, to take such steps as
would protect their interests in case the dis
senting railroad companies do not reverse
their position, taken at the New York meet
ing. From speeches made by Chauncey H.
Andrews, Henry C. Bonnell, F. L. Bob
bins, William P. De Armit; N. F. Sanford
and William P. Murray, of Pickands,
Mather & Co., of Cleveland, it was strongly
apparent that but little hope existed on part
of the speakers that the injustice would be
cured by a further appeal to facts or reason,
and therefore by a unanimous vote tbe
meeting appointed a committee of 15 tf take
up the question of closing down the mines
in the thin coal seam until the railroad
companies guarantee them a fair, equitable
differential between rates charged on the
two coals and a rate of freight for the thin
coal no higher than that charged on Ohio
coals to the lake front
THEY WILL SHUT DOWN.
The meeting adjourned to reconvene at
the call of the committee. Immediately
after adjournment the committee met and
organized, electing W. P. De Armit, Chair
man, authorizing him to take legal advice
as to the best method of procedure to render
the contemplated shutdown legal and bind
ing, and putting it ontpf the power ofany
individual operator to run his mines until
the questions at issue -are satisfactorily
settled.
It was rumored yesterday that one of the
"members" was invited to leave the meet
ing. This was incorrect A certain oper
ator who has a small interest in the "thin
vein" coal and a larger interestin the "thick-
vein coal was denied admission to tbe
meeting. He came without invitation and
his recent actions have been nuchas to
show beyond donbt? that he is willing to
sacrifice "lis "thiu-coal" interest to protect
his interest in the "thick-vein." His inter
ests being thns antagonistic to those holding
the meeting, it was only proper that he be
excluded therefrom.

The Central Traction Compnny Mot to Be
Bustled an Fourth Avenne. -
Yesterday Mr. J. M. Pattison, the Gov
ernment inspector in this city, held an inter
view with Chief Bigelow, to ascertain what
the municipal authorities intended to do in
regard to cutting down the grade on Third
and Fourth avenues. Mr. Pattison was ac
companied by Postmaster McKean. Mr.
Bigelow said that the arrangement made
with the Central Traction Company was to
the effect that they would not be pressed to
lower the grade on Fourth avenue inside of
a year. He was, therefore; compelled to
tell Mr. Pattison that the city government
would not compel the lowering of the grade
this year. It will be necessary, to protect
the building, to build retaining walls just
inside of the sidewalk.
Mr. Pattison is receiving bids for the
building of a new room between the present
postoffice building and Newell's restaurant
Work will be commenced before March 1,
and it is thought that the quarters can be
made ready for occupancy by July 1.

Gold Key Given to Mayor Pearson
Library Arrangement Completed.
President Harrison will hold an informal
reception for the public next Thursday
afternoon at 3 o'clock on the grand stairway
of the Court House.
The Allegheny Library Commission, who
are making arrangements for the President's
visit on the occasion of the opening of the
Carnegie Library, obtained the consent of
the County Commissioners to the use of the
Court House, and decided upon that place
and the time stated for the reception. Presi
dent Harrison will only be in the city
Thursday afternoon and evening, and will
leave for the East that night.
The gold kev, which, figuratively speak
ing, is the key of the new library bnilding,
was received by the Library Commission
yesterdav. At the opening of the library it
will be presented by Mr. Carnegie to Mayor
Pearson as the city's custodian. The key is
of ordinary size and of solid gold.
The Hanging Committee, of tne commis
sion, who have in charge tbe arranging of
the pictures in the art gallery, were busy all
day yesterday. Already about 150 pictures
have been hung, and the work is progress
ing rapidly. All the members of the com
mission were present in the new building
last evening, when it was lighted up lor the
first time. The occasion was the inspection
of the lighting and heating apparatus of the
building, and the plumbers, gasfitters, etc.,
were on hand. The entire apparatus of the
building worked to perfect satisfaction.
LITTLE HELP F0K THEM.
Dfoon Township Is Mot a Prohibitory Dli.
trlct at Present.
The 99-to-16 vote in Coraopolis may not
save it from the dreaded infliction of an alco
holic dispensary, after all. After living in
fancied security for many years it is ascer
tained that even saltpeter cannot save
villagers' bacon, unless they can successfully
tackle the applicant for license on the ques
tion of character, and no one has suggested
this expedjent. They may prevent him
from getting a retail license, if remonstrants
turn out in the same force that they did on
the 18th of last June, bnt according to the
Supreme Court ruling last summer they
cannot prevent the establishment of a jug
and bottle house, except by attacking char
acter. There would probably be no more
liquor imbibed in the borough
were a ,liquor store established
than at present, as halt a dozen trains
running out from the city daily afford suffi
cient facilities for the bibulously inclined to
enjoy themselves, but some of the citizens
object to license on the ground that visitors
from the surrounding country would make
night hideous in the absence of the police,
and the taxpayers do not want the expense
of a police force until they get roads that a
peeler can navigate.
Under the local option law Moon town
Bhip was once legally dry for three months,
but the vote was only taken once and the
three-year term has long since expired, and
there is no prohibitory legislation now that
touches the township or borough. When C.

called on to determine the matter and he so
found.

ACTION ON I0EENUS.
He Insists Upon His Resignation as
President Being Accepted.
CAMPBELL MAY TAKE IT AGAIN.
The Panxsutawney Miners' Strike May be
Settled by Eae To-Day.
FLINTS ORGANIZE THE BOHEMIANS
The Window Glass Workers! Association
met last night and discussed again the resig
nation of President Morenus. It is believed
that Mr. Morenus, who is still ill at his
home in.Cleveland.N. Y., insisted on his first
declination to continue in office, standing as
his final decision, and that this was agreed
to by a vote of the association.
If, hovfever, all of the stories that were
gained after the meeting adjourned are to be
taken into account, it can be safely stated
that Mr. Morenus never resigned at
all or that he never intended to
resign; that he did resign and
alter being notified that the association
would not accept bis resignation, he con
sented to continue in charge; that his resig
nation had been received and accepted, and
that a new election would be ordered im
mediately. YOU TAKE YOTJB CHOICE.
The public will be obliged to take their
choice of the explanations for the present
Secretary Cake said last night: "Mr. More
nus has not resigned to my knowledge. If
he bad resigned I should certainly have re
ceived his resignation, and I have not re
ceived any such communication."
Treasurer Hammett stood by his state
ment made two or three days ago to the
effect that the President had sent in a resig
nation. The resignation referred to by Mr.
Hammett was acted on at tbe meeting held
a week ago, and Mr. Morenus was immedi
ately notified that the association refused to
accept it. In the same communication
he was insisted upon to reconsider bis action
and remain at the head of the organization.
He was promised the aid and advice of Mr.
Campbell, the ex-President, and all kinds
of inducements were made to force a prom
ise from him not' to insist on his resignation.
A reply was received to this letter from Mr.
Morenus, but the exact contents are yet con
fined to members of the association.
HAMMETT SAYS HE RESIGNED.
Mr. Hammett was asked for the result of
the meeting last night He refused to give
any particulars, saying: "Ton can pretty
nearly guess what we did. I would be
willing to state the action of the assembly,
because I believe it belongs to the public, ,
but there has been so much trouble created
by members 'giving away' tbe business of
the organization, that I dare not do so.'
It is generally believed that Mr. Morenus
has insisted on bis resignation being ac
cepted and that the association accepted
it last night, wbilethe belief is held
by some that Mr. Morenus has consented to
continue providing his health will permit,
and thatx-President Campbell will con
tinue to act temporarily until Mr. Morenus
comes back.
too much foe his health.
One thing is admitted to be a fact, that
the new President found the responsibilities
of the office much greater than he expected
to find them, and that he gave up because
he felt he was not capable under the strain
of ill health to master the situation. His
friends say he does not want to return to as
sume the dnties of the office, and is not
likely to do so unless no one else can be
found who will take the place. The proba
ble successor to Mr. Morenus is ex-President
James Campbell, although the mem
bers of the association refuse to discuss this
phase of the question. It is pretty certain
that a change will take place within the
next few weeks.'
WORKING GIRLS' CONTENTION.
Meeting In New York to Discuss tbe Inter
esls of the Clnbs.
The Working Girls' Club, of the South
side, will meet hereafter on Monday nights
in G. A. E. Hall, instead of the Palace
Parlors. Mrs. Hammett yesterday received
a letter from Virginia Potter, tbe General
Secretary of one of the New York clubs,
asking her to nave the club send delegates
to a convention of Working Girls' Clnbs
to be held in New York in April.
Tbe object of this convention is stated to
be for tbe purpose of discussing the interests
of the clubs. There will be papers read on
14 different topics. It is expected that Bos
ton, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and other
large cities will be represented. The object
in holding such a convention is to furnish
instruction for those who are organizing new
societies and the development of a stronger
bond of sympathy among existing societies
and the development of new schemes and
ideas for the benefit of working girls.
WILL JOIN THE FLINT UNION.
Bohemian Glass Workers to be Organized
Into the A. P. G. W. V.
The Bohemian Glass Workers, composed
of those who make small fancy articles and
chemical ware on a gas lamp, out of glass
tnbe, are about to be organized into the
Flint Glass Workers' Union.
They have made application in the East,
and were organized in Boston, New York
City. Brooklyn, N. Y., and in Millville and
Newark, N. J., and in Philadelphia this
week. All those employed in Pittsburg
and(the West are likewise expected to join.
GOOD TRADE PREDICTED.
The Output of Valley Furnaces Sold Two
Months Ahead.
Tod Ford, of the Youngstown Steel Com
pany, was at the Duquesne last night, Mr.
Ford said that the prospects for a good pro
duction and consumption of iron are very
good. He tioes not predict a boom, bnt a
steady trade. In the. Mahoning and Shen
ango Vallevs the mills are working, and the
output of the furnaces is sold for two months
ahead.
Mr. Ford thinks the business has been
braced by the advance in the price of foreign
materials.
P. & W. CHANGES.
The Managers Still Employed Catling: Down
the Force,
Within the past month some further
changes have been made on the Pittsburg
and Western road. C. F. Adams, Con
tracting Agent, Allegheny, T. H. Morse,
Youngstown, and A. F- Mack, the Commer
cial Agent in Cleveland, have been
dropped.
Mr. Mack was retired when the Baltimore
and Ohio bought the Valley road, as the
Pittsburg and Western interests will be
cared for by the former line.
Italians Brought West.
Between 200 and 300 Italians passed
through this city yesterday, en route for the
West, where, it is understood, ttey'are en
gaged to work on a "Western railroad. The
men were secured at Castle Garden, and it
IB not known upon wha railroad they will
be employed. The person having them in
charge was uncommunicative, and nothing
could be learned as to whether they came
here of their own accord or not.
Must Join the Union.
The building trades unions of McEees
port have made a demand for all building
work in tbat city to be done by organized
labor after May 1. Many of these unions
have only lately been organized, and will
make no demand'for eight hours, but will
instead try to force all not members of the
union to Join.

A SETTLEMENT AT PUNXY.
The Trouble In the Clearfield Region May
be Ended To-Day President Rne Talks
on tbe Coke Averted Stride Operators
Say the Price Will Go Up.
Mr. J. B. Eae, President and Master
Workman of the United Miners' National
Union, arrived in this city from Scottdale
yesterday. He was accompanied by Robert
Watchorn, Secretary of the association. The
latter,leit for Columbus last night.
Mr. Rae, while in the city, received a tele
gram from the Master Workman of the
miners' union at Pnnxsutawney,calling him
to that place at once. The miners have
been on strike there for the past seven
weeks, and tbe telegram informed him that
his presence there will very likely bring
about a settlement, as the indica
tions are good for an adjustment
of the trouble, both sides showing
a disposition to confer. He left for that
plare at 430 jn the afternoon, and will re
turn to Columbus as soon as be leaves Punx
sutawney. MY. Rae, in speaking of the coke
scale, said:
"There has. been secured on an rfverage
12 per cent of an advance in wages in all
departments of the coke trade. This, with
the advance gained last August, makes an
increase of from 26 to 30 per cent in wages.
We asked for $1 15 for mining and received
$1 07, and 61 cents for drawing 100 bushels.
Drivers and other laborers will receive ?2 10
a day for nine fours' work, and-overtime to
be paid for on tbat basis. Some of the men
had been working fully 13 hours a day, and
the reduction of the time of work amounts
to a substantial increase in wages."
When asked how the new scale wonld
affect the prices and the operators, he
said: "The state of the coke trade
will not admit of the increase
in wages without a corresponding increase
in the selling price of coke. I expect that
the price will be advanced shortly to $2 a
ton. When the scale was advanced last
August instead of injuring the operators, it
impelled them to get a higher price, and it
was in a large measure the cause of the
present good condition of the coke trade.
This increase, I think, will have a like ef
fect on the market and. will cause an injury
to neither side. Tbe scale will be in lorce
for one year. I left the miners in a very
happy frame of mind over the settlement of
the scale and the fact that a strike had been
averted."
The coke operators seen yesterday would
say nothing in reference to an advance in
the price of coke until they hold a meeting.
This will take place in a" few days. They
are all of one mind, however, so far as their
ability to pay the advance goes, and say that
an advance in coke prices will have to be
made.
Secretary Watchorn has issned a circular
asking for information regarding machines
used in mines. The paper contains about 27
questions to be answered by the miners, as
to the names and kind of machines in use in
each separate locality, the rate paid for
working' them, etc.
ANOTHER JDMP IN GLASS.
A Meeting to be Held Here Monday to Add
20 per Cent to tbe Price.
,A special telegram to The" Dispatch,
received last night, quotes Mr. D. H. Rob
erts, New York agent for Chambers & Mc
Kee, as authority for the statement that the
meeting of window glass manufacturers,
which was held last Tuesday in the Hotel
Anderson, adjourned to meet on next
Monday in this city. That meeting will be
held with the putposeof still further ad
vancing window glass 20 per cent At the
meeting last Tuesday considerable dis
satisfaction was expressed on account of
onTy increasing the price 5 per cent.
Mr. Roberts says that the importers met
in Springfield on Wednesday, and decided
to increase their prices 20 per cent. This
assisted home manufacturers tn make the
advance also. Mr. Roberts likewise affirms
the rumor that the manufacturers are about
to combine in three big syndicates. They
will be the United Glass Company; the
Pittsburg factories, and the Chambers &
McKee Company.
Machine Hands' Ball.
Local Union No. S06, machine hands,
