THE PITTSBTJEG- DISPATCH. SATURDAY, MARCH 7, 1891. GOT THE HALF CENT. I'iver Operators Surrender lo Their Men, Because They Must COMPLETE SOUTHERN CONTRACTS. Knmored Trouble at Unquesnc Over a Committeeman's Discharge. NEWS XOTES FROM THE FIELD OF LAEOE By a Tote of 14 to 10 the river operators yesverday ai ecd to grant the increase of half a cent per bushel which the miners struck for on Xew Year's Eve, and inconsequence of which the district has been idle ever since. "Work will be resumed on Monday, and much activity will prevail along the line, to make up for the nine weeks' loss of time. The concession has been drawn from the operators through sheer force of circum stances, and it will be so costly to them that there is no chance of the rate continuing beyond the closeof the present boating stage. The reasons given by operators for retreat ins from their position are two lold, namely, the necessity of completing contracts in the Southern markets, and the competition of Kanawha operators. The halt cent ad vance will cost them about 5250,000 in the next two months, as they will be unable to add the increased cost to.the selling price. X lio Has to Hear the Burden. "The hardship of the matter is," said Cap tain Burton, "that the three-quarters of a cent advance which we will now have to pay for outride labar will have to be advanced in proportion to the rate for mining cannot be tacked on to the consumer, and we shall have to bear it ourselves. Southern buyers will purchase hf-re as long as our prices are near the Kanawha, and as those operators have no occasion to increase their rates their competition confines us to present rates. "We thus can't help ourselves. We had to grant the half cent because the boat ing stage is rapidly nearing a close, and we are compelled to ship couth on time or lose our trade altogcthei. We had no option lelt us." The result of the matter is that whatever profit lay in the business heretofore will be turned from the pockets oi the operators into those of the miners. The diggers will get a half cent in each of the four pools and the corresponding increase in the wages of the outside men brings up the increased cost per bushel to three-quarters oi a cent. The mining rates will be 'iy2 cents in the First, Second and Third pools.and 3 cents in the fourth pool. The ioss to the miners and operators during the term of idleness based on an output ot 13,000,000 bushels in that time would be as follous: Five thousand diggers lost $450,000, based ou a digging price of 3 cents or an avemge loss per week to each man of $10. The Los to the Operators. A computation of the loss of the operators is difficult to make. As well n losing the profit on the turnover of ? 1,000.000 worth of coal, they had Wear and tear of plants to provide for, repair of boats, etc., and a more or less extensive pay roll of necessary em ployes during the time, as well as wharf rents, etc That opeiators are just about giving away their profits cau be seeu from the following figures on a baree load. The ficures were obtained at the office of a lead ing operator and speak for themselves: Coal at tipple in l'ourth pool, 3 cents. Coal owners' profit, hauling, charges, etc., three-quarters of a cent. One barge load ot 13.000 bushels at SJc..f4S7 W lockage on load from Fourth pool 31 55 Towing to mine and back 41 CO Con of load at Pittsburg.

Jl per 3,000 13 00 The average repair of a barge on a trip is 30 00 "et rot of load in Cincinnati. 576b 75 or 6.05 cents per bushel. i Other items of expense not enumerated above are $50 a year lor landing in Pitts burg; pumping, $200 a month, etc. With coal selling at G cents in Cincin nati, it is easy to see that the operators have no inducements to pay the increased mining rate for long. Marsh McDonald, one of the river coal O"trators, lelt for Cincinnati last evening. He was very much opposed, he said, to granting the miners the advance, but they needed coal, and it was the only way to get it. On the problem of what the coal men had lost during the strike he wis not pre pared to speak. He thinks it can be made up as the stocks on the market are low and the prices will be better. HUMORED TROUBLE AHEAD. The Discharge or Men at the Dnqncsne Mill May Lead to Difficulties. There were rumors yesterdav of trouble as likely to arise at Duquesne, because of the discharge of some of the men for asserting themselves on behalf of their lodge of the Amalgamated Association, recently. The lodge was organized about three weeks ago, and a few days since a committee lrom the mill called at the Carnegie Association offices and talked about union piices. It is said they were given no satisfaction, and that on return to Duquesne the Chairman of the committee, Heed, was discharged. At Amalgamated headquarters yesterday the officials had nothiug to say on the mat ter. They understood that there w.s some little difficulty, hut wh.it it was thev would not divulge. The Duquesne mill has not been known as a union mill, and thouch the association has initiated a lodge there, nothing so far has been done to bringing the practice of operation up to the standard of other Amalgamated mills. It is understood that a meeting was held last night to con sider matters. UNDERSTANDING REACHED Itetween the llrewcri.' Union and the Team feters Assembly at I.ast. Statements published regarding a contro versy between the Brewers' Union and Teamsters' Assembly 1577, of the Knights, are misleading. It is sought to make it ap pear that the matter is a reopening of old sores between the Federation and Knights. This is not so. The Worthy Foreman of the district said last nirrlii; "The Brewers Union, which organiz-d hereabout ajear and a half ago. never sought to bring in the drivers until after the latter had themselves been organized. The only question before the Kxecutive Boanl of the union is whether we shall work hand in hand. The matter rests there. They have agreed to give us moral support "on our promising to do the same." DISLIKE THE TAXATION. The I-ito Knights Painters Itejiorted as Objocting to the Federation lines. When Local Union 197, of the Brother hood of Painters and Decorators, concluded their meeting on Thursday there was not much harmony amoii; the members. This union is the old Knights of L ibor Assembly of Painters which latrlv gave up its charter ami went oier to the Federation. The cause ot the unanimity on Thursday ivss on account of the dues. The members are now awaking to the fact that it costs more to be a Federation man than a Knight, and hence the kick. The dues in the latter are 25 cents as against 40 in the lormer, and ome of the members are wishlug themselves back in the order again. Doing a I-iml-OMco Knslncvt. WhiIe-tueConnellsille operators and coke makers are resting ou their oars the ontside coke men are doing a lauu-office business. West Virginia coke is going lurthcr West than ever before, and everv dav sees that necessary aid to iron making- becoming more 1 valuable. Meanwhile Pittsburg agents, are handling coke at figures that would make some people's mouths water if they saw the bills. THE WIDOW AND 0EPHAN. Car Inspectors Help a Railroader's Family and Arrange for the Convention. Lodge Xo. 1, of the Car Inspector's Pro tective Association, met last night at Knights of St. George Hall, Pcnn avenue. II. W. Thomas presided and Koss H. Walker acted as Secretary. Louis H. Walker and William C. Fisher were elected delegates to the National Convention of Car Iuspectors at Columbus on April 15, and continues in session during the week. Arrangements were made for a benefit ball to take place on April 16 at Knights of St. George Hall. Over $100 was raised at the meeting to benefit the wife and family of James Conner, a railroad employe, who was killed a short time since while on duty. Reports were read, showing the lodge to be in good condition and having a membership of 125, 5 of whom were admitted at the meet ing. IEON MEN TIBET) WAITING. Little Assurance Git en That Freight Kates Will Be Bed need. The question of reducing iron rates from this territory has been referred back to the Central Traffic Association. Local freight ageuts will guarantee nothing, but they seem to think that a slight cut will be made alter awhile, when the iron men won't care whether it is made or not. The shipments from this territory are be hind the firures of last year. There is some freight moving in small lota, but the through traffic, like the far West passenger business, is very dull. The Western people are now wrestling with the tail end of the money stringency, and are not making heavy contracts or purchases. NEW LOCAL ORGANIZED. Master Workman Taking Members Into the Fold at Kittannlnjr. Master Workman Evans, of District 3, was at Kittanning yesterday organizing a new mixed local of the Knights. Mr. Brit ton, of District Assembly 69, Connecticut, accompanied him. This is the second local organized in the district, the first (the potters) having now a membership of 300. The popularity of the order seems to be ou the increase in'Kittan ning. Industrial Notes. Ix view of the discontent which prevails among the carpenters, owing to the agitation by the radical wing of the eight-boar day, it is said there is a possibility ot a split occurring, and a local of the Knights being formed. It is not generally known that the Knights of Labor have four members in the Allegheny Common Council and two in the Select. Rumor has it that the order intends to use them shortly for a progressive social purpose. IF the heavy tolls paid to the Navigation Company were done away with and the Ohio put in navigable order. Pittsburg" river coal operators could pav high wages for digging, ship more coal, and leave Kanawha competi tion away behind in the Southern markets. THE NEWS OF SOCIETY. What of Most Interest Is Going on in Pittsburg and Vicinity The Songs of the World Song at the Smithfield Street M. F Church. Philip Phillips and his son gave one of their unique and enjoyable entertainments last evening at the Smithfield Street M. E. Church. "Around the World in a Chariot of Song," was the title given tho evening's amusement. They rendered songs of all nationalities in a most charming manner.

They Deny Having- Any Interest in Senator Eranse's Little Bill. GOSSIP OP EAPID TRANSIT CIRCLES The Duquesne traction people deny the rumor that the merger and consolidation bill for the motor lines, introduced Thurs day in the Senate, by Senator Krause, of Philadelphia, was to effect a union of the Pittsburg and Duquesne traction interests. Pittsburg Traction Company officials also ridicule the rumor. Senator Flinn, when spoken to about the matter yesterday, said: "I know nothing about it, and never heard of the bill until yesterday, when it was introduced by the Philadelphia Sen ator. As far as I know, the Duquesne Company has no idea of either selling out or combining with the Pittsburg Traction Com pany. The bill has nothing to do with Pittsburg affairs, and there is no foundation for the rumor." "I don't know anything about it," said C. L. Iilagee, laughing. "The idea is ridiculous." Chief Brown said there was nothing in the report. The approach of summer has caused the various traction companies about Pittsburg to prepare for needed improvements on their lines. The Duquesne Company is putting forth every effort to overcome the set-back given it by the burning of its power house at Ben Venue. Superintendent Kice, of the Du quesne Company, said yesterday: "The power house was not so seriously damaged as at first thought. Bv April 1 it will be thoroughly repaired. Unless some unforseen obstacle should arise the road will be in full operation before May." The Pleasant Valley Company has several improvements to be made during the sum mer, among which are the completion of the California avenue and Troy Hill branches, the former to be four miles long and the lat ter two miles. As soon as the weather per mits work on these extensions will be started. "During the summer," said President Henry yesterday, "we will make prepara tions for putting the old style stoves in our cars for next winter's use. The subject of stoves is a perplexing one for street car people. During the past winter we used a new stove, fired from the outside, with a pipe running up through the car. It proved a failure, however, and unless some body should invent a better manner of heat ing cars we will go back to the old-fashioned inside stoves." BILL Nl'E has begun a series of his hu morous sketches for THE DISPATCH. These sketches promise to bo the very heat ever written by him. For THE DISPATCH to-morrow ho describes a visit to tho United States Training ship Minnesota. THE CONDITION OF CHILE. A Lecture by Rev.. Mr. AIIIs Upon Present Political and Religious Affairs. Kev. J. M. Allis, who has just returned from Santiago, Chile, will speak in the Bellcfield Church to-morrow evening in re gard to the political and religious condition of affairs in that country. Mr. Allis is a brother-in-law of Colonel Itobiuson, the well-known banker ou Wood street. His residence in the capital of Chile, his familiarity with the leading men of the country and his keen interest as an Ameri can citizen in the progress of affairs in Chile have peculiarly qualified bim to speak upon the subject of which he will treat. The at tendance of business men is specially in vited. NO EIOT AT HIS PLACE. Mr. Olnhausen Anxious to Learn the Source of a Little Story. E. F. Olnhausen, proprietor of the Point View House, called at the Twenty-eighth ward station yesterday alternoon and denied tba' there had been a riot among some Italians at his place on Thursday. Mr. Olnhausen stated that he was at home all day, and he had not seen one Italian near his place on that day, and that no injured man had been carried into his house. He is at a loss to understand where the rumor came lrom, and desired to see Captain Stewart to ascertain from whom he heard it.

Mexico wjll be at the World's Fair with a novel display. The plans have been approved by the Mexican Government and Lieutenant A. C. Baker, United States Commissioner to Mexico. The exhibit will be an artificial hill of iron, cov ered with terraced soil, surrounded by a fae simile of the castle of Chaupaultepec, and it will show the progress of Mexico from the time of the Aztecs. Temples, images and like scenes will be a featare of the exhibit, whichis at the base of the hill. The Queen Isabella Association, Jwhich intended to erect a pavilion on the World's Fair ground tor the use of the women of the world, has withdrawn its application for space. There has been considerable friction between the Association and the Women's Board of Managers of the World's Fair, and as the application of the Isabella Associa tion was referred to the Woman's Board, the Isabellas decided not to take the chances of rejection of it. The Isabella Association fixed a fee of $1 for membership, and has collected about $7,000, which, it is nnder stood.will be returned to those who paid the money.
