Ewirii Bsjorts Tit Zigittra Ntw Find Hivi Grtcttd tks Bemuds. The Builders Exchange yesterday showed how completely it lias the building interests under control when it stopped work on Alvin Joslyn's new theater, which was to haTe been completed at all hazards, whether the prevailing strike were continued or not. At the regular meeting of the Exchange which was held in Lafayette Hall, the con tractor, who is a member of the Philadel phia Exchange, said he was present to take whatever position would best advance the interests of the local builders. He was quickly informed that if he wanted to do anything in the interest of the contractors here, he would stop work on the new thea ter. This he promised to do, and later in the day carried bis promise into effect. The meeting in Lafayette Hall was one of the largest of the kind ever held in the city. Over 500 contractors were present Presi dent Barnes was in the chair. About the first business transacted was tbe appoint ment of a. Dress committee, which furnished tbe following as a report of the proceedings: Had to Hire a Large Hall. This meetnig was held in Lafayette Hall be causo tbe room in the Exchange Building was too small. It was the regular monthly meet ing. After the transaction of the routine busi ness, tbe present strike came up for discussion nnd tbe ball was started rolling by a speech from Air. W. 11. McCreorv, of Johnstown Flood Commission fame, who addressed tho Exchange, not only as a member of the body, but alsi as a large property-bolder. He Mated that lie did not only rep resent himself, but other owners, whose posses sions aggregate in number from 160 to 180 fconses, about 40 of which are now under course of erection. Mr. McCreery stated that ho was so Arm in tbe position be had taken that before he would grant the eight hours be would release his contractors and allow hi houses to stand un finished for his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mr. McCreery stated that it bad come to be not a question with the workmen and builders, but with tbe builders and owners, of whom the latter are the most -greatly affected. 11 the eight hours are granted.all speculative building will stop. Even now the work on large numbers of such buildings has been stopped. The increased cost that would be entailed by the granting of the present demands, which would in tbe end come out of tbe pockets oi the property holders, would be at least 25 per cent. After Mr. McCreery had spoken various (seeches were made by the members and sev eral suggestions were made, all lending to co hesion and solidity. The following was passed unanimously: Resolved. That the contractors and builders and supply contractors of all character, and all purchasers of supplies, stand by the supply dealers, and that supply dealers stand by tne contractors. There was a perfect unanimity of opinion that eight hours should not be granted and there was not a speech made that indicated weakness. Pledged to Stand Ont Firmly. Outside of tbe above report furnished by the press co-nmittee, it was learned that 15 of the largest planing mills in tbe two cities were represented at the meeting and each one presen' made an absolute promise before tbe Exchange, that they would not sell a foot of lumber or do any work until tbe difficulty is Fettled. Six stone contracting firms from Reaver county were present and each one prouii-ed not to let any more of their material cuuic into the city nutii after the trouble is over. Several cuntiactor-, who have been reported as having granted tho demands deuied that they had done so. A. resolution was unanimously adopted providing that on build ings where the coctractinzcirpenter grants the eight hours the othor trades arc to 02 locked out. This the only extent to which the lock out policy is to be enforced. "A well-known contractor stated after tbe meeting adjourned that the member-, of the Exchange were standing firm to a man. and that there would not be a flinch from tbe posi tion they have taken. Tlicro will be a meeting to-day of a committee representing the master bnllders. to prepare tbo list of demands upun the men that was mentioned in The Dispatch afewveeksago. Tim Hit will contain a pro posed chango in the appreutico rules and pro vide for a graded scale of wages. There are also several other matters which the bosses want adjusted, which will be included in tbe list. ClulniK Made by tbe Carpenters. The carpenters were jubilant yesterday. When A M. Swartz, of their Press Committee, was seen last night be cave out the statement that 18 linns bad granted the eight hours, one of which was a member of the Builders' Ex change and bad forfeited his fees in tbat or ganization. Mr. ;rar:z conld not tell how many men the IS firms employ, but one be knew has 20 men on its ray roll. As Chairman of the Strike Com mittee Mr. Swartz issued a notice yes terday notifying all contractors granting the demands, and all members of the brother hood who want lnmlier or material of any kind, that arrangements for the same may be made with the committee having chargo of this de partment at oS7 Smlthfleld street. Special Agent Irwin received the following telegram from Philadelphia yesterday morn ing in reference to the alleged differences be tween tbe local district and tne Geneial Execu tive Board of the Brotherhood: 1'niLADEipniA, May 4.

I will come when wanted, necp me advised as to tbe situation. 1". 0. Mi UUIKE. Xatlonai Secretary. The Bricklayers1 Union met yesterday, and it was reported tbat out of 725 men Sib arc at work. All apprentices In this trade were called off yesterday, borne SOU quit Work on the Kaufmann building was also stopped. A. L. Hough has granted the eight hours, and is now working ten men on tbo new Penn sylvania Avenue Amusement Hall. It is ex pected now that the place will bo completed this week. Special Agent Tenary, of the plasterers, says that the report that workers of bis cratt on tbe residences or H. C. Knelt and H. V. Oliver are locked out are untrue. Work has been stopped there, but it is because of a scarcity of ma terial. No Change in the Strike at McKoesport. There is no chango in tbe carpenters' strike at McKeesport. All of the union men are idle, with the exception of about half a dozen who are doing unfinished work and are getting their demands. The planing mills are all idle. Their owners saythty will stand by tbo son tractors. Several conferences have been held between the bosses and the officials of tb Marble Cot ters' National Union, but no agreement has yet been reacbed. The contractors object to any advance. Arthur B. Snivtb, President of the Marble Gutters' Union, claims bo is still master of tbe situation, and that he is determined to win his fight. He says be has positive proof tbat cer tain work now coming to Pittsburg Is convict work. He intimates his intention to declare a battle of all trades in the building line in favor of honest labor as against "cut throats." SOCIALISM ON THE SOUTHBIDE. A Mew York College Professor Talks on I-abor and Freedom. Prof. Daniel DeLeon, of Columbia College, 2 e York, who is traveling through the United States lecturing to the Socialistic Labor party, addressed tbe Soutbside branch of that party last evening at Odd Fellow's Hall. He had for bis subject "Labor and Freedom," and took up considerable time with his address. It was principally an Indorsement of the demands of the party and an argument acainst plutocracy. He said there is at present an intense feeling against plutocracy among the .laboring classes, and that it was only a matter of a little time until it weald be swept away. He also said tbat Amer ica, Instead of being the borne of liberty and the land of the free, is the borne of the rich and the land of tbe slaves. He argued tbat It was all right for tbe ricb to say "economize and become woalthy" as long as there was something to economize on, ibut as matters stand now, wealth must be acquired suddenly, if atalL . ,.. ' The speaker thoughtthere sbould be uniform, laws in all the States, and favored tho abolition of capital punishment, and also that the ad ministratlnn of justico should be free of charge. Reduction of tho hours or labor in proportion to the procresstif production' was said to be a necessity. AU pauper, traap, con spiracy and temperance laws, he i said, should be repealed, and, in tbe end, tbe SoqlWisis should strive for a radical revision of tbe Con stitution and statutes of the United States..

Chief Brown's Order Complied With All Over tbe City. . Tbe result of Chief Brown's crusade against people who did not comply with tbe law regard ing fire escapes has been very satisfactory. Tbe Chief has found no difficulty in having tbe law enforce 1 and has nor met with a single case where tbe owner refused to comply. ln-speak-ing of it yesterday be said: "Since tbe order was Issued hundreds of fire escapes have been put up. AU over the down town and hill districts' buildings of three Stories and more have been equipped. As a result we can safclv say that Pittsburg, according to tbe number and size of her buildings, has more and better fire escapes than any city in the country, 'Previous neglect on the part of property owners seems to nave Deen due to ignorance of tho law rather than to any intentiou to dis regard it. We have found nobody who refused to compiv. Fire escape firms have at least a hundred orders on file which ibty bare not yet been able to till, but they are hurrying them along as fast as possible. The city is now as safe as the law can make it, as far as fire escapes are concerned. TAKIKQ A NEW TACK. John Stronp Determined to Have His Patrons Served With Drinks. J. C.

THE . millions; of money i' ' j And Hundreds of Stockholders In terested in Annual Meetings BELD IN PITTSBURG YESTERDAY. Artificial Gas May Be Made by the Phila delphia Company. TEOuBM IK THE CAS TRUST COMPANY The Philadelphia Company held its an nual meeting yesterdav, and, wif.le it was interesting ail around, in the latter part there was more excitement to claim the at tention of the general public and the stock holders of the concern. The New Yorkers were out for blopd, bat they sat it in homeopathic doses, and whenever tbey tried to make a point they figuratively speaking stepped on a banana peel. The salary total, 1103,671 11, loomed up.Iike a rock which the ship'was unable to steer past and in.timewas liable to wreck tbe company. So thought the metropolitans, and they de manded an explanation. Many very pointed questions were asked. Some had an idea that a certain number of Pittsburg ers were feathering Their nests at the expense of. the non-resident stockholders of the company, and they said SO in language clear and concise. Treasurer Caldwell is not a very large map, but he caught a large share of the kicks. He was thought to be about twice his natural size, and was ac cused oi drawing salaries enough for a corps of officials of every grade. "Why the Salary Llt looks large. Ibis caused the Treasurer's ire to rise to such au extent that he aske'i the permission of his chief, sMr. Westingbouse, to. read the salary list. A npd of assent caused the Treasurer to proceed. Mr. Caldwell declared that such stories were Injuring the company, aud the best way to silence them was to give the list, which follows: The President and Vice President receive no salaries; Treasurer, $3,000: Assistant Manager, .600: General Man ager, 3.000: Secretary, $1,200, and other salaries in proportion. The total for officials is 328,000, and the remainder of the 103.000 goes to clerks and' all other men whp work by the month. This teemed to fully satisfy tbe New Yorkers on tbat score. Another question wbicb agitated the minds of the Eastern gentlemen was the supply of gas and how it could be secured it tbe natural article should play out. If fuel gas could be manufactured tbo New Yorkers believe tbey can dispose of all tbe stock at par on a a per cent basis. Again tbey were met, and President Westinghouse made a very Interesting statement In this regard. First bo said that be believed tbat natural gas can be secured in paying quantities for at least six years to come. When the people become edu cated to tbe economical use of the fuel, the price can be raised to 20, 80, 40 or even SO cents per 1,000 feet. They Will Manufacture Fuel Gas. Should the natural fuel play out in a week, Mr. Westinghouse says, the Philadelphia Com pany would turn in and manufacture artificial and bring the stock up to par vajue. One of tbe Eastern men suggested tbat a half million dollars be invested in Government bends, so tbat in case of a failure of gas the eomaany would not be compelled to borrow money to begin the manufacture of artificial gas. Mr. Westinghouse said In reply that tbe S resent policy of tbe company is a step in that irectlon by paying no dividends. The report of tbe Treasurershows a net profit of JLH8.1G3 81; tbe amount expended is (1.0S9, 022; the cost of the Bellevernon was $270,000; the amount spent for meters and regulation was $128,257 16; the total amount permanently charged to capital account was 8255,680. The total amonnt of nndlvided profits on March 31, 1S91. was ti,WJ,tlJ 03, which amount has been expended in various ways iu the improvement of the plant of the company. The assets are pot down at tlQ.0S7.12L The undivided profits Aprll-L 1890, were 1,82,:87, making x total of undivided profits March 31. 1S9L of $3, 131,53 1 Mr. Westlnchous read his report, which was entirely satisfactory. Tbe election of officers resulted In the same old board, as follows: President, George Westinghouse. Jr., Directors, A M. Byers, Robert Pitcalrn, John Caldwell, A. Groeuinger, James A. Chambers. Calvin Wells, H. Seller McKee, , M. Ferguson. Tbe board re-elected the old officers as follows: Vice President. A, M. Byers; General Manager, George H, Brown; Secretary, W. D. Uptegraff ; Treasurer, John Caldwell; Assistant Treasurer; E. S. Pearson; General Contracting Agent, Matthew Bigger; Auditor Allen Marthens. ADJQUB NED FOE 1WO WEEKS. Mr. WesUnghouse's Wishes Complied With Without Hesitation. Eastern advices foreshadowed the course of yesterday's annual meeting of tbe stockhold ers of tbe Westinghouse Electric and Manu facturing Company. A considerable number of stockholders metjn room 6i Westinghouse building, many of titm anxious to know what bad been effected toward the strengthening of the company. Vice President Bannister took -a census of tbe amount of stock represented at the meeting and then there was a abort lullr President George Westinghouse asked atten tion to the following statement. To the stockholders of the Weitlsghouse'Eleetrle and Manufacturing Company: The an'uual meeting of tbe stockholders of this company was called to-dy in compliance with the. Iiy-iiws, which fix iWU-aay for the annual meeting. The directors, at a tncctlnj?

May 18, 1S91, at 10 o'clock lathe rorenoon. In roomCt, Wotlujthousc building. Plttsburg.-Pa. in the negotiations vhiclr have been so nearly concluded tbe Interests of the prcsentstockholders havorccelved special-consideration, with r view or giving permanent value to tbetr stock. Tbe business of the compauy has been continued with out Interruption, and although with a lesser volume than for tbe same period last year, the net results have been better- The orders onh&nd and those being received are equal to the capacltr or the works, aud it is expected tbat the arrangements which have been made will soon not the works or tbe company in full operation, A large reductlttn In expenses has been ettected, by reason of which and a more eouservatlrc business policy tbe affairs ortho company have been steadily increasing since the 1st of January. Mr. Westinghouse aBked that tbe action by tbe directors be ratified, patting it on tbe ground of justice to himself and tho other stockholders. He said tbat so far bis negotia tions bad beep very successful, and he hoped In tbe near futnro to show that stockholders would realize more from their investment than tbey had ever expected. Ho -requested that some one would more an adjournment to tbe 18th Inst., and Frank Whitselldld so. The I motion prevailed, aud the meeting aojourned slon of opinion by those present. Tbe follow ing may be somewhat explanatory of yester day's action.- Tbe Boston Traveller of Satur day says: The demand for Westinghouse Electric stock toAlay lias been very heavy and has come largely from strong people. It bas had the effect of lilting the price to 15Ji. and It closed strong at 15H. Tbe annual meeting of tbe company Is booked" for Monday, but pending the com pletion of the details of tbe new nnauclal ar rangement it Is likely to be adjourned for a time. It Is now said among other things that the com pany is anxious to consolidate with, itself tbe companies whose dividends it guarantees. Tbey will thus throw off tne responsibility for the divi dends. A bid ofH or l per cent was made this morning to call tho stock at 20 in 60 days. XSSEE BA1LB0AD MEETINGS. Annual Election of Officers for a Trio of B. & O. Branches.

NOT TAKEN BY SURPRISE Why Mr, Byer Wasij'i Astonished at Being Knocked Oat of a Presidency Be Bays Us Was Not a Candidate for' Re-Elec-Uon Car Trust XflWrp. J. T. Gallery succeeded A. M. Byers as President of the Pittsburg Car Trust Com pany, at yesterday's annual meeting. It was given out that Mr.. Byers had been taken by surprise, and was bounded with a vote ot 1,400 to 72. Colonel Morgan, one of his adherents, was "retired from 5 the Board ot Directors, and J. S. McCord declined to sorve, though be voted against tbe ex-President. Tbe "opposition claimed tbat Mr, Byers refused to carry tit tbe instructions qf the Board of Directors; that last year he was or dered to place $30,000 nut at 'interest, but he didn't do it, and kept the money In the Iron City National Bank, of which be is President. It is claimed this angered many of the stock holder!, and tbey charged that Mr. Byers held tbo money in his bank for its benefit. At the meeting yesterday a resolution was passed that JiaCW be paid en the preferred stock, and during the year KS5.WQ more will be put up. Mr. Byers wat op posed to tbe payment of this money on the grouud that It .was illegal, and this was the cause of the turmoil among the stockholders. Wbeh Mr. Byers was seen last evening be said; "It is a lie mads ant of tbe whole cloth tbat I was beaten out of tbe presidency.- I was not a candidate, and frankly told tbttstockboldsrs so at the meeting; I voted my stock and tbe proxies I held against myself when I could have been elected if I so desired. Our attorney, who was present, told ns tbat the (10,000 on the preferred stock could not be paid without personally becoming liable for it, and I had no desire to assume the responsibility. Tbe best of feeling prevailed; no job was pnt up, and 1 wasjiot taken by sur prise. As tor the statements that I wanted to keep the money in the Iron City National Bank and that I refused to put out S3O,QO0 on interest last year, as directed, they are also lies, and there Is po truth whatever In the report." Secretary A. Q. Hatry said the prospect for business, this season were never bettor, and the company expects to reap great profits out of Its leased cars. Some additions to the rolling stock will be made this year. The election re sulted as follows: J. T. Cillery, President; directors. Alex. NIrhlck. A. M, Black, Charles KVRoppert,. J,. W.

Four Little Southside Girls Ticking Pockets In Pittsburg. PAYJ PEWIT F0tt-Tft0 frEARF. , sy-ppil l Ji W" Petectiva fynihl'-Nipa tb iUnzleaajer In the Ac. .or Steal!??, HQW A 5TBAKQE CASE WAS' FOUQKl) The police of the First district have suc ceeded in' running down a ganrf of youthful pickpocketslittle girl-?who have been following their trade to good advantage all over the city. For tbree'months past Detec tives Bendel and MoTlghe have been watch ing tor parties who-were doing a good busi ness, at picking tbo' pockets of ladies along 'Fifth avenue and-downtown etores. Sus picion fell on two Touug girla who were seen at frequent intervals acting strangely on the street. Deteotlye Bendel was watch ing the girls, yesterday afternoon, when, m trontiof Blarris' Theater, he notice one of them thrust her band into a lady's pocket. Tbat. was all he wanted, aqd be bad her by the arm in an instant. The gtrj squirmed and struggled, hut finding it was of no avail began to cry. As she was lead around to Central station" ber younger companiop followed. At the sta tion both became frightened and made a confession, A Littlo Girl With a Record. The elder one gave her name as Katie Steplein, She is the younger sister of Dora .Steplein, whose escapades created much comment oyer a year ago. She lives with ber mother on Birmlneham avenue, Bouthslde. She is just 11 years of age. The other one is Rosa Holm, Of Welsh Row. She. is only H years bf age, but has evidently bad a promi nent part in the proceedings. The girls made a clean breast of the whole matter. For two years past they, in comnaoy with Mary Short, of South Fifteenth street, aged 13, and Annie McQuire, of Fritz street, bave been picking pockets and doing petty pilfering In crowded stores, During tnat time tbey bave secured a largo amount of booty of various kinds and have grown very proficient in the business. Their operations have been confined Chiefly to this side of tho river, (bough they confess to having secured a pocketbook in a Soutbside store containing about 515,. and an other from a woman on Carson street with (80 in It. This latter was divided between the Steplein and Bolm girls, who say they gave tbe money to their people at borne, telling tbem they found it. After learning the names of the two other girls the two detectives went oyer last night and arrested them. All four are now in Central station. Watched Until They Were Caught. About six weeks ago Inspector McAleese began to receive complaints of pocket picking at the theaters and large stores and shoplift ing all over tbe lower part of the city, De tectives MeTighe and Bendel were set to work, and after i, counle of weeks' diligent wattling decided that Katie Steplein and. Annie. Mc Oulre were the guilty persons, On account of their age the gins were not arrested immedi ately, but were shadowed whenever they came ' to this side of the river. Tbey were very cunning in their business and soon became aware tbey were being watched. Thereafter the jtlr's were wary, posa Solra and Jdary Short were then brought out by the other two, presumably to throw off sus picion. The detectives noticed tbat tbey would frequently change bats or costumes. About a month ago a pocketbook containing $45 was taken f torn a lady on Fifth avenue. One afternoon about a week ago Detective MpTighe observed Katie Steplein and Rosa Holm following" a lady on Market street, whose pocketbook was stieking out of. her pocket. The lady was walking rapidly, and to order to overtake ber the two girls had to ran. As tbey got close to ber the Btepleln girl' suddenly darted forward and made two or three ineffectual attempts to snatch the purse. By tbls time tbe lady reached tne corner ot ourtn avenue ana took a sec ond avenue car. The young pickpocket fol lowed ber into tbe car and JUoTjghe did like wise, but the expected victim bad seated her self, and after taking her purse out to pay her fare carried it In her band. Tbe girl seeing sbe was foiled got off the car soon after and went to Allegheny. One scheme of tbe girls was to bang around in stores, watch ladles to see where tbey put their pocketbooks after making a purchase, and thettosecure tbe book. Some valuable fans taken from stores during crowded days bave been traced to tnera. The girls after their arrest confessed every thing, and told of a uumber of thefts they had committed of which the police bad never heard. Inspector McAleese sus tbe glrU should all be sent to the Reform School, and he will en deavor to send them there. WILL IMITATE PITISBUEO. - Youqgstown to Reconstruct Its FaDllo gafety Arrangements.
