ntroduced, and I think the whole building
rades would be iu favor of it. Yes, work is
ilenty, and outside of the late trouble we
ire doing nothing but keeping sober and
working hard every day."
Thomas Slattery, of the Slaters and Tin
Rooters' Union, said: "We have no cause
x complain, as business generally is good.
iVe work nine hours and get 52.75 a day.
Che pay is not as much as we would like,
ut we will do better niter awhile. Oh, the
tabor movement suits me well enough. If I
jet enough to keep me and my wife decently
1 am not going to bother about the labor
question."
Miles O'Reilly, hod carrier, said: "It's a
consensus of opinion you wanton labor mat
ters? What do I know of the labor ques
tion? Well, I know I carry bricks every
dav or mv lite, barring Sundays and holi
days, and I get $2 50 a day. I labor hard
enough for it, and sometimes mv back is so
sore that I can hardly lie down on it at
im;ht. I manage to keep my wife and chil
dren comfortably, and as long as my health
lasts to do this, I am net borrowing trouble
about any more labor questions."
POINTS FROM PLASTERERS.
IDEAS GLEANED FROM THOSE WHO
COVER UP WALLS.
What Orcnnlzatlon Una Done for Them
Wages Adrnnecd in n Few Year SI n
Day A Gap Filled Up m Last, by liard
Work.
P. H. Wilkinson, a member of Journey
men Plasterers' Union Nn. 31, came bore
from Philadelphia a few years ago. "When
he left Philadelphia plasterers were paid
?3 50 a dav there, and he found them get
ting only 2 50 here. "X ow, I'll tell you
what organization did for us," said he.
"Wc have raised our wa?cs from 52 50 to
$3 50 a day. We have succeeded in com
pelling the masters to recognize our organi
zation. We have closed up the gap be
tween workmen and employes, in a measure,
and have done much to elevate our people to
a. higher plane. To-day's ceremonies fit
tingly celebrate our last victory, just won,
in which all the bosses were forced into con
ceding our demands."
John Ioe, another plasterer, is of the
opinion that all difficulties between em
ployer and employe should be settled by
arbitration. "It is a big question, and I
don't know where to begin to talk abont it,"
be continued, "but I would like to see some
plan adopted in all trades organizations
through which the bosses and the workmen
could be made to understand more thoroughly
each others' interests. As it is, they are too
Jar apart neither willing to listen scarcely
to argument but, actuated usually by
selfish motives, they stand out against all
compromise."
William Atkinson, another plasterer, is
also of the opinion that something should be
done to bring about a more friendly feeling
between the bosses and tbe men. "But
then." he said, "we cannot find fault with
the employers for not being friendly with
us, when there is so much jealousy and
lard leehngs in our own ranks. If one
thinks auother is getting tbe best of him in
any of the tno organizations a bad feeling
immediately arises, and there is trouble.
Then, one trade will quarrel with another,
and there is almost a continual wrangle
somewhere in the labor organizations. It
our labor unions are to become a power, it
must be through a union ot strength, as if
prompted by a single impulse. We do not
seed any moie legislation. .Let us first
make a proper use ol what we have and we
will be better prepared for what we may
reed."
"The labor organizations should stay out
of politics. I see some one has started a
rumor that the Building Trades' Council
would oppose Dalzell lor Congress. There
is nothing in it, and my idea that the
farther away we keep lrom politics the
better it will be for our organization. When
we commence to trifle with politics we be
gin to create factions in our ranks that are
apt to lead us to disruption. At least, we
lose sight of tbe real objects ol our union."
Anthony Birnes, a wielder of the trowel,
id: "Aside from the late differences, the
Plasterers' Assembly has succeeded admira
bly since last Labor Day. Our branch of
trade had a great deal less to contend with
than many of the other building trades in
the way of disputes. We settled our griev
ances to-day, and workmen representing this
Jine of trade have reason to be jubilant and
to enter heartily in the day's celebration."
CULLED FROM CARPENTERS.
THE KNIGHTS OF SAW AND PLANE HAVE
THEIR OWN VIEWS.
Why Labor Day Mionld bo n Jubilee Day
Eight Hours to be AUcd xt spring
Too Much Acitaiion Jot Wanted Other
nccislioti(i.
William Baxter, a member of Carpenters'
TJnlon Ko. 165, said: "This should be a
jubilee day lor organized labor all over the
country. We have never been so successful
as this year. Our trade made a big mistake
by not demanding the eight-hour system
this year, and I think it is sa e to predict
that we will do so next year. I
would be in favor of a law fixing
the hours of a day's lalvr at either eight or
nine hours. As it is workingmen are stili
employed all the way from 6 to 14 and 15
hours. I think it ought to be equalized so
that everybody would work eight hours."
John Bohn, a carpenter, said: "I haven't
anything to say. The labor question is
agitated too mucn now. I! the agitators
would let the agitation alone it would adjust
itself."
Charles Allwood, a carpenter, thinks or
ganization is the only way by which the
workmen can secure their rights, but he was
atraid to venture a lixed opinion on any
topic lest he would offend his employer.
"I'll tell you one thing, though," he said,
"the carpenters will demand eight hours
here next spring and they will get it, too."
G. B. Howard, a, representative member
of tbe Carpenters and Joiners' Union, was
encountered edging his way through the
crowd on Filth aenue, after the parade.
"When bnttonboled for a statement of the
condition ol buildmg irom his observation,
lie said: "The increased population has
necessarily creafpd a demand lor more
homes and more workmen, and no one can
cry 'bad times," with justice. Taking
everything into consideration, the carpen
ter's trade has enjoyed a very good year in
this city. Ouly trivial disputes arose, and
they were settled without much parley."
liichael Piuu, a workman in one of Pitts
burg's largest lurniture houses, said: "The
wages of the present day are good enough,
considering the relative cost of living here.
Cabinet makers command lair wages, and
some of them, who are thrifty and indus
trious, put their earnings to good use, while
others, as in every other walk in hie, spend
their money in having a big time. You
will find in a great many cases that there are
a large number of skilled workmen who are
firm believers in making tbe best of their
time here and go in tor having a 'big time,
but many more board up their savings for
wet weather."
NOTHING TO COMPLAIN OF.
Glnssxvorkers Contented With Plenty ol
Work lo Msht nod Money to I'ot Away
for Rainy Days Plumbers and Arbitra
tionWhy It Pays Them.
J. C. Bletz, a prominent member of L.
A. 300, although not iu the parade, sa'id
that the glassworkers of America need to be
commended for the harmonious manner in
which they work with the manufacturers.
He added: "Every window glass house
but one at Kavenna, O., will start up on the
15th instant. The existing rel
tiocs between employer and employe
"could be no better, and we are
50 times better off this year than in previous
irs. Everything was done amicably at
. - conference of the Wage Committee re
cently, and workmen in our trade have
nothing to grumble at One thing I notice
particularly" said Mr. Bletz, after the Al
toona Band bad stopped playing ia front of
The Dispatch office, "is that the window
glass workers have evinced a saving spirit
that is surprising. They have erected more
homes within the past 'ye ar for themselves
than thev had built in ten years before."
Henry Neff, a member ot the same union,
said." "There are only three workmen out
side the Glassworkers' Union in the United
States. In the last year the Federation has
embraced the Belgium workers in their
order, and we are the only trade that takes
within its scope foreign countries."
Michael Percell, an active member of
Plumbers' and Gasfitters' Association, re
marked. "We have any number of strikes,
sometimes, but there is always some way to
settle matters to the satisfaction of every one
interested. The strained relations between
our employers and ourselves are to be re
gretted at times, but after a little haggling
From both sides, the matter is invariably
fixed up all right If we were all ot the
same opinion," said Mr. Percell, "matters
would be in worse shape than they are.
We must always have some one with op
posite opinions. I think that the hours of
work are satisfac lory to a great many, or, at
least, they suit me."
TURNED OUT IN FORCE.
A PARADE THAT WAS A CREDIT TO LOCAL
LABORERS.
Only One Thine to Mar tho Day's Festivities
A Doom lor tho Federation of Labor
Over 5.000 Men in Line Some of the
striking Fenturcs.
The American Federation of Labor en
joyed a boon in Allegheny county yester
day. The trades affiliated with it turned
out in force and made a display, in numbers
and appearance, which would rival any
similar demonstration in the country. One
or two assemblies of the Knights of Labor
also paraded, but quite of their own voli
tion and regardless of the sentiment concern
ing the day which permeated the headquar
ters of the order. That assemblies of the
Knight3 of Labor were found independent
enough to do this reflects as much credit on
them as the general abstinence of the
Knights from participation in the demon
stration was widely remarked.
The.day was as propitious as could be de
sired, and passed without any incident of
note, excepting that at North avenue. Alle
gheny, which is dealt with in another place.
An especial feature of the day was the dem
onstrations of the former employes of the
Westinghouse Company, who, to the number
of about 1,000, marched in parade. The

Follow After Them.
LEGISLATION HEEDED FOR LABORERS.
A. C. Eobertson Adrocates the Australian Ballot Sys
tem and Wetkly Wares.
The line of procession of yesterday's Labor
Bay demonstration was as published in The
Dispatch. It reached the rendezvous at
12 oclock. As the column arrived at "West
Park, Allegheny, it passed in review before
the Marshal and' aides, and then debouched
into the pars:, passing around the band
stand, where the speakers of the day had
already tacen position. These included
Councilman A. C. Kobertson, W. J. Bren
nen, Esq., Bcv. "William Eobertson, "Bees
wax" Taylor and the presiding officer, John
J. Martin. Among those on the stand were
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Hammett, Sliss Lillian
Haller, ladies of the "Working Gills' Pro
gressive Union, Colonel Wyatt, Messrs.
Thompson, McMurray, Hughes, Smythe
and others.
Chairman Martin announced that the
members of Typographical Union No. 7,
Slaving to report for dntv at 2 o'clock, could
I not remain. The union then marched to
the Armstrong monument to the strains
of "Annie Laurie," and decorated it with
flowers, each man depositing his bouquet at
the feet of the well-beloved labor leader or
placing his contribution on the monument
where his fancy dictated. Cal Wyatt was
called upon to make a few remarks appro
priate to the occasion, but contented with
saying: "Gentlemen, the time is too short
for any lengthy remarks. You will under
stand me when I say that (pointing to the
statue) an honest man is the noblest work
of God."
Meanwhile, at the band stand, the Al
toona Band played "Verdi's "Sicilian "Ves
pers," rendering it in an excellent manner.
The Eev. William Eobertson, of Allegheny,
offered up a prayer, in which he called
down a blessing upon the work of labor or
ganizations. a cattse fob tbxde.
Chairman John J. Martin, in his opening
address, said that everyone would feel
proud of the magnificent demonstration
which was held that day. In other sections
of tbe country there would be similar
demonstrations, but Pittsburg and Alle
gheny need uot be ashamed of her parade in
honor of the day. He said that at
various epochs in history patriotic occa
sions had marked out snecial days for
observance, such as Independence Day,
Emancipation Day and others. But Labor
Day was as fitted to be commemorated as
any others; marking as it did the onward
march of an army of construction, instead of
the array of destruction, which heretofore
had left its mark on the time. He compli
mented the ex-employes of the Westing
bouse Company on their splendid turn out,
and expressed an opinion that if they would
but be true to one another they would ul
timately obtain their demands. He then
introduced W. J. Brennen, Esq., as a man
who bad once been a manual worker, who
had risen by his ability to the position he
now occupied. Mr. Brennen said:
"Fellow workmen and laborers; It is im
material it seems true, whether it is by in
side labor as represented by mental work
or by outside labor as exemplified in
manual toil, that a man earns his bread;
so long as he does so honestly he is still one
of that vast army of laborers, and as such I
am asked to address you to-day and 1 have
to uncover to this audience as representing
those who, recognizing their title to a share
of the earth, are also entitled to demand a
fair share of the product. Labor has taken
a step in advance when it has taken
measures to secure a full measure and meed
ol reward for its toil.
WHAT IT BEPKESENTED.
"This parado in which you have taken
part to-day, may not represent all working
men, but it does all the intelligent people
among that class who are in the advance
guard and form tbe pioneers of all success
ful movements. There are always people
who will hang back while their lellowspush
forward and withstand the brunt of the bat
tle, and then, when the victory is won,
creep in and&sk for the privilege of partak
ing ot the spoils. To such work the con
summation ot this day's demonstration
should be a lesson, aud an incentive to fol
low iu the steps where organized labor
leads."
Mr. Brennen regretted that P. J. McGuire
was not present to tell them of tbe progress
made in the eight-hour movement by the
carpenters and joiners. They had initiated
the eigbt-nonr campaign, and other trades
who had since moved lor shorter hours
should always remember that tbey owed a
debt of gratitude to them for the bold fight
they had inaugurated, and now, Mr. Bren
nen said, that the man who got his wealth
by the hard labor of his fellow-citizens
should be the last mau to resist the fair de
mauds of his employes. He said that
no man owed so much to labor as George
Westinghouse, and yet on the first occasion
of their asking a demand in common with
tbe rest ot their trade, he, alone of all the
employers, keeps his men on'a prolonged
strike. He said that Mr. Westinghouse
should cut a tablet over his building with
the legend: "This building was built by
public bounty and ruined by private
greed."
THE NEW YORK STKIKE.
Mr. Brennen referred to the New York
strike, and to Mr. Webb as a man who had
obtained his wealth -by? marrying it, and
should be one of the last men to resist the
demands of his employes for fair and equit
able treatment at his hands. This man pre
tended to overlook organized labor, and
wanted to use a subterfuge by putting his
wits against those of his apprentices when
he said that he would treat with his
men as individuals. The day had gone
by when organized labor could be treated
in this manner, and it was proper
that such men as Webb should be brought
down to their proper level. Labor and cap
ital were united by inseparable bonds and
the day was rapidly approaching when the
great industrial democracy would make its
own terms lor a fair share of the wealth it
earned. He hoped that next Labor Day he
would see every workingman in Allegheny
county walking in parade and show that
they were united in theirdemands for their
rights, and secure them.
The next speaker was the Hon. A. C.
Eobertson, who was introduced by the
Chairman as another man who had known
what bard work was in his early days, spent
before a fiery furnace. Mr. Kobertson said
the Lsbor Day parade showed that labor
was united in regaining the birthright
robbed from it years ago. The demonstra
tion showed earnestness iu seeking these
rights, both politically and socially. Mr.
Eobertson referred to the history of labor in
tbe past. He described the first stage as
that of slavery, when a slave was the actual
THE PITTSBLTRG DISPATCH,
property of the man that "owned him. The
next step was the wages system. Under
this system the worker made a fair
exchange with his employer ' of hjs
labor for the other's money. This
system gave rise to competition, and
so engendered conflict. Speaking of the
necessities of legislation for the working
Masses, Mr. Kobertson said that among the
provisions necessary to be attended to were:
First, that the Bureau of Statistics at
Harrisbnrg should be made a Department
of Labor so as to bring about the proper
results to those in whose interest the de
partment was run. Secondly, the next
Legislature should provide such legislation
as would prevent anv such terrible occur
rences as those at Dunbar irom recurring
again in a hnndred years.
QUITE AS NEOESAET.
It was necessary also that there should be
a proper inspection of factories, and that
the law as it was should be enforced. It
should not be allowed to remain a dead
letter, as the law passed some time ago pro
viding that girls in shops should be pro
vided with seats, which heartless proprie
tors now evade every day. Another bill
which should be passed was that providing
for the payment ot weekly wajres. This was
a necessity and a matter of justice to the
workingman, who was entitled to his re
ward as soon as he had earned it He
thought that the Government should lead
the way in the eight-hour movement by en
forcing its adoption wheie it could. He
also thought the Australian ballot system
should be adopted, so that every man
could cast his vote without fear
or regard for his employer. Mr. Kobertson
desired to know why should men like
George Westinghouse object to bis men
organizing and proffering their demands as
an organized body, when he and many like
mm una snown ine way in urgauinig, iu
this gigantic corporation. He did not see
how Westinghouse could find fault if the
workingman followed iu his lead. Mr.
Kobertson concluded an argumentative ad
dress by expatiating on the benefits, of or
ganized labor, and calling on his hearers to
assist in the movement to the utmost of their
power.
Mies Lilian Haller made a short address
in favor of allowing honest, earnest working
rrirls a chance in the industrial world. She
said that women's field was occupied by
women who had no necessity to work, and
so kept many a willing girl irom getting the
work that rightiully belonged to her.
The Eev. William Kobertson and "Bees
wax" Taylor followed in appropriate
speeches.
NOT PLEASANT TO ALL
LABOR DAY WASN'T ENJOYED BY THE
SQUIRRELS.
Too Moot HIen TVltli nhotsnns Had n Holl
Dnj Game In ricnty, and the Doll
Crack of Gun Was Heard Far nnd
Near.
Labor Day was not an enjoyable one to
game, as the cessation of business enabled
many to go out on the first day the squirrel
season opened, who otherwise would have
stayed at home and attended to business. To
tbe practiced ear it was evident that
it was butchery that was going on.
Instead ot the clear, whiplike
crack of our fathers' long-barreled, muzzle
loading rifle, was heard tbe dull cannonad
ing boom of the destructive No. 10 breech
loader, by means of which a clown who
cannot hit a stable door at 100 yards, with a
rifle, can slaughter squirrels if he have
gumption enough to find them.
c Standing on the dividing ridge between
Montour and Moon runs, before the sun
struck the hilltops yesterday morning, the
detonation of guns could be heard irom
Forest Grove to Wettengail's mill, north
and south, and east as far as Arbuckles'
woods, end doubtless many a rabbit,
pheasant and quail got between tbe hunters
and the squirrels. Tbe elders among the
latter have been taught to be wary, but baby
squirrels doubtless tared hardly.
Game is quite plenty this year, especially
rabbit and quail, as there war no snow last
winter, and vermin could not destroy tbe
breeders with the usual facility. In the
northern tier oi counties squirrels are emi
grating this veac and will be killed, by
thousands, but they are not so plenty here,
probably on account of the frequent gap in
the timber, which they are shy in crossing.
Some people yet living can reeollectrhe
famous squirrel emigration of 1832. Ttiat
year they swam the Ohio river by the hun
dred thousand, probably by the million,ind
could be knocked in the head when they
landed, as they were almost exhausted.
They were unhealthy, however, and so door

HAD THE "WEONG FLAG FOREMOST!,
A Gorman Emblem Ilnalcd Down on Norlh
Avenue During the Parade.
An exciting episode occurred on North
avenue, as the parade was passing. By,
some accident, or chance, the German flag!
borue by members of a German union, was
placed in line ahead of the American'
nag. Comments on the fact were exchanged
among the spectators on the sidewalk, and a
state of excitement was soon reached.
A rush was made lor the staudard
bearer, who, with the assistance of his
comrades, repulsed the attack with
loss. A passim: aide was then called to
have the objectionable flag hauled down.
He rode to the scene of hostilities, but
only to find a policeman ot German pro
clivities marching alongside his Tuetonic
friend as a safeguard against further attack.
The aide persisted in having the flag
hauled down, and when things were begin
ning to look serious enough to end in a gen
eral scrimmage, a man named Pitts caught
hold of the flag and brought it to the earth,
amid a yell lrom the G. A. E. men and Me
chanics in the vicinity. The policeman
used his club right valiantly in defense of
the fljg, but he was outnumbered.
Sereoadif the Preaa.
Yesterday afternoon a committee from
Typographical Union -No. 7 took the
Altoona Band, which bad played for the
union in the Labor Day parade, out sere
nading. Calls were made at the offices of
the daily papers and the Commoner and
Glasticorker. Tbe band was iu excellent
trim, and the music was of an order that
added greatly to its already high reputation.

TUESDAY.' . SEPTEMBER
AULDSGOTIA'S GAMES.
Wearers of Kilts and Tarllans Held
Sway in Allegheny Yesterday.
HOW THE THISTLE WASW0ESHIPED
Over 3,000 nappy Spectators Applaud the
Sports in Eecreation Park.
HER WHO WON THE LONG LIST OP PRIZES
Tbe thistle was uppermost in Allegheny
yesterday. Kilted Highlanders walked the
streets, and it was as if Scotland's bonnie
braes were transplanted here in the old
K eystone State. The Scottish games, in
connection with the Labor Day celebration,
were the great attraction, and over 3,000
people assembled at Eecreation Park to
view them.
The day was magnificent. The band did
not oppear on time, which caused an ab
sence of the grand parade of pipers, danc
ers, kilted Scotchmen and athletes, which
was to have occurred at noon. Instead, the
Scots in costume simply stood and allowed
the September winds to play through
their plaids and about the natural, gar
ments of their limbs. The band
finally arrived, played a dirge, then started
in on "Annie Eooney," and for three long
hours, with short intermission, strains 'of.
that classic air were a leading feature of the
torture.
The games opened, and more than 3,000
pairs of eyes were strained to watch every
move of the athletes. First came the pat
ting of the 16-pound shot, open only to resi
dents of Allegheny county. Kathel Kerr
was an easy winner, bis throw being 32 feet
4 inches. George McAdams was second, at
31 feet 7 inches. T. S. Duncan pressed him
close with a throw of 31 feet 2 inches, while
J. Eobinson and Mr. Quigley figured only
as starters. The prize was a large frame
and photograph ot the winner, presented by
S. M. Eobinson.
In the amateur vaulting with pole, B.
Speer carried off the first prize, a silver
medal presented by1 the Malone Stone Com
pany, by clearing 8 feet 10 inche; Clark &
Alcock, the other competitors dropped out
when the 8-foot mark was reached.
"WOK THE LOCAL RACE.

and Wesley E. Tinker.GeorgeMiller, James
Malarkey, John McDonald, Joseph Priddy

the judges, and Fred Goodwyn was
the starter. The dash was made in 11
seconds. David Sheehan came in first,
closely followed by Joe Priddv and Wesley
E. Tinker.
Throwing the 12-pound hammer caused
much excitement and Judges S. P.
Freeman and Prof. J. P. Andrews made
narrow escapes. Here Kathel Kerr was
again a winner by a throw of 81
feet 5 inches. George McAdams stood sec
ond, by a cast oi 74 feet 5 inches. The first
prize was a pair of opera glasses presented
by W. E. Steiren, and the second 100 cigars

perintendent Hamilton of the Allegheny
parks, closely contested the place "with him.

Pittsburg, and Lediard were the only en

lowed this and the pretty kickers won ap

straight from McClain. A special match
for $5 was given by William Gilroy ana
Bob Miller. The latter came out winner.
By this time it was 7 o'clock, a fight bad
sprung up among the dancers, the people
had left the grand stand and were crowding

tests announced were declared off.
LIGHT FOR RIVERMEN.
The Chamber ot Commerce Approves tbe
Petition to Congres PoBtofflce Snrple
mentary Appropriation Resolution bent
to the Ilon.o Committee.
The first regular meeting of the Directors
of tbe Chamber of Commerce since last June
was held yesterday afternoon. A letter was
received lrom Acting Secretary of the Treas
ury Spaulding acknowledging the receipt
of the report of the action taken by the
chamber in regard to a supplementary ap
propriation of $110,000 for the completion of
the new postoffice. He said the matter had
been referred to the Committee on Appropri
tions. Captain John A. Dravo presented reso
lutions approving tbe petition for more
United States light service on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. The resolutions were
adopted.
A communication was received from the
New York Chamber of Commerce contain
ing a report of the action taken by that
body in petitioning the Government to
adopt the necessary measures for protection
to life and property against the overflow ol
the Mississippi river, and asking the Pitts
burg Chamber to take a similar conrse.
The matter was referred to the proper com
mittee. e
The communication was received from
the Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange
requesting the indorsement of the resolution
contained in the communication protesting
against the passage of H. B. bill 595. which
has been presented in Congress. The bill
referred to proposes to grant to a private
corporation the use of North Pier at the en
trance of the harbor at Buffalo, N. Y. The
resolutions of the Baltimore Exchange set
forth that the bill is a blow at the lake com
merce, and the passage of the same would
set a dangerous precedent; that the granting
of the use of United States docks and piers
to private parties wouldi be a pernicious
policy and would extend in all directions if
once inaugurated. The resolutions con
clude by protesting against the bill and by
petitioning Congress to hold possession of
all wharf piers and docks for the benefit
and use of the general public The matter
was referred to the Committee on Legisla
tion. THE WESTmGHOirSE LOCKOUT.
Manaffer Basalcy Snys the Mncbloe Shop
! Filling Up With Men.
M. Ealph Bagaley, manager of the West
inghouse Machine Company, said in regard
to the statement in yesterday's Dispatch
that the company was unable to fill the
jilaces of tbe strikers, and that the strike
would terminate in a few days: "The state
ment published is all wrong. I have been
absent from tbe city, and on my return
found all departments running lull, with
the exception ot the machine shop proper.
This branch has half its quota of men at
work. We have applicatiouslenough on file
to fill every vacancy, and as fast as they
pass inspection the men are set to wore.
Not a day passes but some are added to the
force.
"I will say this: We will gladly take
back some of our old men if they apply be
fore the vacancies are all filled. There are
several, however, who will not be taken
back on any terms. All must come back
under the old order oi things, however; and
not expect to get ten hours' pay for nine
hours' work. Before we will concede to the'
demands of the strikers we will remove our
works. We are meeting fierce competion
at all points, and cannot afford to make
such a radical chance at the demand of our
men. Had they asked for a 10 per cent ad
vance instead ol shorter hours at t!ie old
wage, why that would have been different.
We are determined, nnd do not mean to re
tract an inch. A personal inspection ofour
works will bear me out so far as the force
there is concerned."
Returning to Hangarx-
Eighty Hungarians from the coke regions
bought tickets at the Union station yester
day to go back home to Europe. They said
rents and the cost of living are so high that
they couldn't save any money.

Two Men Captured With Over 100
Pawn Check's in Their Eossession,
IIANT FOR GEUS AND WATCHES.
Valuables Worth Thousands of Dollars
Hocked in Fonr Cities.
DETECTlTfi ITTIGHE'S CLEVER W0EK.
The police bureau made another import
ant capture yesterday afternoon, and showed
two New York young men that Pittsburg is
a good place to stay away from, especially
when they want to do business with pawn
brokers. The two men are now ruminating
behind the bars, and will probably be sent
to New York, where Inspector Byrnes will
do business with them.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon De
tective McTighe, who is now known ai
"Little Pink," the latter an abbreviation of
the name of the great Chicago detective,
was standing at the corner ot Smithfield
street and Diamond alley waiting for some
thing to turn up. He spied a suspicious
looking individual in front of a pawnshop
nearby and concluded to watch him.
In a few minutes the detective found
that the suspicions young man had
a partner who was in the pawn
shop negotiating for the "soak" of a silver
watch. McTighe sauntered in and engaged
the man in conversation about tbe watch.
The stranger offered to sell the timepiece for
?8 and McTighe ottered 55, with the inten
tion of leading the man into a coversation.
He invited the stranger outside, and as they
were walking down Smithfield street the
yonng man winked to bis partner, and the.
latter began to play the "capper" act.
, TVOETH A UTILE MORE.
He became interested in the ssle, without
showing he was acquainted with the man
who wanted to sell, and told McTighe it was
a good watch and worth more than S3. As
soon as he got tbem close enough together
the detective grabbed the two men and told
them to accompany him. Thev did not
know where they were going until "Pink"
turned into Diamond alley, when they saw
they were going to the police station.
One of the men tried to wrench his arm
loose from the detective's grasp and tret
away, but did not succeed. In tbe scuffle
be put his hand in his coat and, pnlling out
a pocketbook, tried to throw it away. While
holding onto bis prisoners the detective also
got the pocketbook and marched the two
men into the Central station. There they
gave their names as William Travis and
John Temple and theirresidence as Detroit.
It was found out afterward, however, that
they lived in New York.
In the pocketbook which one of
them tried to throw away were over
100 pawn tickets on New York, Brooklyn,
Detroit and Pittsburg pawnbrokers. Nearly
every one of them was lor a diamond, watch
or a piece of jewelry. Tbe stuff pawned
was worth thousands of dollars, and it is a
wonder, to the police officials where all the
stuff was obtained. The detective secured
one gold and one silver watch pawned in
this city. The former was a new timepiece
worth $90, and on which the broker had ad
vanced $35. The watch was a Walthata
movement and had evidently been stolen.
A VALUABLE LENS.
In addition to the hundred ormore other
checks, there was one pawn ticket for a
photographer's lens pawned at the store of
John Simpson, No. 91 Park Eow, New
York, for $415. There was also lound a cir
cular of a "graveyard" insurance company,
giving details of the business. The pawn
tickets were dated from January to April of
the present year, showing that the stuff had
been "hocked" recently.
The two men stated tbat tbey boarded at
No. 1112 Muriel street, on the Southside,
and gave no reason for the large number of
pawn tickets in their possession. Assistant
Superintendent O'Mara last night wrote to
Inspector Byrnes, and an answer is ex
pected,tnis evening.
HAEBOWED DOWN TO TWO WES.
Either Elliott Holbrook or Mr. Manning
Will Succeed Snperintendent Fallon.
Elliott Holbrook, formerly Superin
tendent of the Lake Erie road, went to New
York last evening at the request of Thomas
M. King to bold a conference with that
gentleman, so it is stated, about the Superin
tendency of the Pittsburg Division ot the
Baltimore and Ohio road.
It is conceded bv railroad men that either
W. T. Manning, Engineer Maintenance of
Way, or Mr. Holbrook will be Mr. Patton's
successor. The employes of the road think
that Mr. Manning is,in the line of promo
tion and deserves the position. The chances
are if he-is not appointed he will resign.
Mr. Manning has worked hard for the road,
and is a capable engineer.
The indications are that Mr. Holbrook
will take charge of the construction of tbe
Staten Island termininals for the-B. & O.
road. Eailroad men seem to think that he can
have bis choice, and may come to Pittsburg
or go to Staten Island as he pleases.
FOE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHTS.
Sir. Stevenson Asked to Revise His Cate
chism on tbe Tariff.
Hon. Edward C. O'Brien, Treasurer of
the Republican Congressional Committee,
has written to J. H. Stevenson, of this city,
asking him to revise his "Tariff Catechism,"
so that it will be suitable for use in the Con
gressional fights in different parts of the
country.
Mr. Stevenson wrote the "Tariff Cate
chism" in 1888, and it was used with effect
by the Bepublican National Committee iu
that year. It was at General Clarkson's
suggestion ihat Mr. O'Brien asked Mr.
Stevenson to revise the work to suit a Con
gressional instead or a Presidental cam
paign. PBESEBVHTO THE 70BT.
The Old Bock Ooase at the Foint to be Ex-'
hibltei'.
The famous old relic of the early settle
ment of Pittsburg, the old block house at
the Point, has been leased by Messrs.
Charles M. and William B. Moyle, of Alle
gheny, who have fenced it in and will ex
hibit it during thq Exposition season.
This carries out the idea advocated iu
The Dispatch, some months ago, that
the old house should be preserved and kept
sacred from the hands of vandals. Tbe
citv did hot see fit to do anything in tbe
ma'tter and it remained for private enter
prise to rescue the old building around
which so much of Pittsburg's early history
clings.
Mot Vlolemlr Insane.
A sister of Mrs. Cassidy, the unfortunate
East End lady, who was sent to Dixmont
Sunday, states that the reports in yesterday's
papers exaggerate the case. She did not
try to burn her babe, nor did she act in a
violent manner. For some time she has
shown symptoms of an unbalanced mind,
and meekly snbmitted to removal to tbe
hospital, where she was taken in the hope of
securing such care and treatment as will re
store, or at least alleviate her sufferings.

Senator Quay went to Washington last
evening. He says the conference commit

tbe tariff bill, and it wonld be passed at
once. He thinks the balance of the busi
ness can be attended to, so that an adjourn

Concerning State politics he said it was
rather earlv to talk as public sentiment had
not crystallized, but he had no doubt that
Delamater would win.
