CABFEXTEES MAKE A GOOD SHOWING.
President Weihe Thinks It Unnecessary to Import Tin
Hate Workers.
Moorhead, Brother & Co., proprietors of
the Vesuvius Iron "Works, at Sharpsburg,
yesterday made public a circular to their
employes, containing a comparative state
ment of wages which they are asked to con
sider, and giving them until to-day to reply.
In the circular it is stated that if the old
men do net standby the firm new men will
he employed and the mill will be operated
independent of the association. ,
The condition of afliirs at this plant has
now reached the point when it is safe to say
that the firm is openly arrayed against the
Amalgamated Association, and the officials
of the latter do not attempt to deny that the
outlook is gloomy.
rn.L text of the cmcnUE.
The full test of the circular issued by the
firm follows:
From the conversations we have had with
several of our prominent workmen, we have
concluded that !t is almost a waste of tiino
to even trv to arrive at a morn ennltjiMn
scale to govorn our plate mill during the
coming j ear. Wo are aware of numerous
specnl scales, and special agreements,
allowed diafcrent mills by the Amalgamated
Association, and thought that we should
--"lainly be tieated in a. similar manner
have been, however, no confidently
tared that suchaiaor is notfoi'us that
have about determined to make oar mill
ion-union one.
Be'orc doing o, we herewith desire to put
Bfew jiiain facts before you, believing that
ail Louest thinking men mubt agree that our
position, to say the least, is most fair.
We have no grievance against the Amal
gamated Association save their scale of
wages on the plate and tank mill. This
scale being properly adjusted, we would al
most piefer signing the Amalgamated Asso
ciation scale. But with the wages now in
vogue in this mill, it is impossible that we
continue at work. Wo herewith submit a
table of wages, showing the exact amounts
received during the past year by the high
est paid men at the different trades In the
Vesuvius mill. A mere glance at this must
show any fair man at all conversant with
the skill and labor required at each that
there is simply no equity, reason or Justice
In tho present plate mill scale.
RELATIVE OUTPUTS OF MILLS.
The plate mill scale was made when the
output of a mill was, say ten tons a turn, and
the wages were possibly fair, considering
the crude advantages of the time, and the
small output; beside this, the price obtained
tijjthe manutacturer was some 8 to 5 cents a
pound. To-day, however, the output of a
good mill, owing to improved machinery,
etc, is. say 30 to 45 tons uer turn, and this in.
creased tonnage, turned out with little or no
extra labor, and in about the same time, us
ten tons some years ago.
A much stronger .argument, also, is this:
Plate iron is to-day sold at 1.80 oents per
pound think or it, $jtfa ton; and worse than
that, $86 per ton delivered, which means, say
i4 50 per ton net to as. Can you figure any
proat out of that; Why, it is only a decent
price for common bar iron.
The position of roller on the plate mill was
paid last year $10,234 2i. Think of it: Whv.
gentlemen, that was more by quite a bit
taau the firm made on this mill, with all
expense?, breaks, risks and losses. Think of
Jt, one position on a mill yielding more than,
the linn makes. Why, is it not almost time
Jor the firm to take the toller's job and cive
him the mill? "
The idler on our plate mill made, as can
Se seen from the tables below, over three
nines as much as made by the roller on the
mail mil., o er thiee times as much as made
by the roller on the bar mill, six times as
much as the muck roller, and almost seven
times as much as made by the best pud
dler in our mill. Look aiso at the plate
mill hands, rodUc-s, catchers and all, and
you will readily see that these same out
rageous differences between plate mill
and groove u.-'.i prices occur rhtht through
the nt: ana t'ir material that sells for about
the sain.' pri---e in the market. Do tbesemen
"work longer? Does their work take a better
class of men'? Is the work as disagreeable
as on the small mills? Or are they men of
greater brains and filling positions that re
quire a mere intelligent class of men? I
think you must admit that e have just as
intelligent m-ii at the puddling furnaces
tnd at the other mills, and mas agree that
the plate mil! crew is certainly receiving
w ages out of all reason if the balance of the
mills have pioper scales

proper consideration, as it is not made as a

rF.OMISE OF A BITTED. CONTEST.
It will bo noticed that the firm appears to
lay particular stress on the statement that
it has no fight to make against tho Amalga
mated Association, but it is peculiarity a
iaci urns it sub aimed its opposition to a por
tion ol the scale lor which the association
would fight the Hardest, and the present
contest promises to be a bitter one.
Th' statement made in The Dispatch n
few days ago, that this was onlv tho bo
gir.nuj., of a series of battles to be waged by
a number of Srms, seems now more prob
able tr.i ever, and tho outcome of this
struggle wili bo watched with great inter
est by other firms, which are apparently
waiting for an opportunity to make a break.
TnucKHeat tho Sharpsburg mill is almost
entirely witnout a parallel in the history of
the association. It was a complete surprise
to everyone when it became known that Mr.
Hoornead objected to the vcale. at all. as tin.
Amalgamated officials regarded the scale as J
swr-cu a; me esuvius. nut on jnly it, Mr.
3Joor.ead removed all cause for such
tho:vh:s Dy asking for a conference on tho
httj mill scale. The request was complied
Trith, however! and tho firm presented,
through Mauagrr Lewis, a proposition that
Uie aicn agree on a basis averaged from tho
rates! paid in the plate mills of the first dis
trict, of w hlch there are eight. These de
mands proved to be unsatisfactory to tho
men who claimed that the average had been
taken from three mills in which the plato
mill departments are the lowest paid in the
district. Thee were Moorhead & McCleane's,
Sligoand Olivers. They also claimed that
this average would reduce their present
rate of it ages U per cent.
A CONCESSION NOT GRANTED.
After considering the firm's proposition,
however, a reply was made, offering a con
cession of 11 per cent, but the firm would
not hear to this, but made a further reply to
the men that if its proposition could not be
accepted there conld not be a settlement.
The men seumed to think this was a bluff on
the part of the firm, and the matter was re
ferred to Vice President Sheehan, of the
First district, who, in turn, consulted Presi
dent Weihe. Those gentlemen had a con
ference last Friday with Mr. Moorhead, an
other on Saturday, and a third on Monday.
Neither resulted in a settlement of anv-
' thing in dispute. Xo further concessions
were maue uy eitner siae, ana it is not likely
that any will bo made.
President Weihe was seen at Amalgama
ted headquarters yesterday afternoon. Re
garding the trouble he said the men conld
not go to work until the scale would be
signed.
"Then we are to understand the men as
being on a duly authorized strike?" asked
the reporter.
"Certainly," replied Mr. Weihe, "the men
in all mills where the scale is not signed on
July 1 strike."
"How will yon support'thom If you cannot
pay strike benefits during July and
August?"
"It is not to be expected that the men
have worked steadily all the year round, at
the wages picturod in Mr. Moorhead's circu
lar, and not be able to strike a few weeks
without receiving benefits. The men will
not suffer, I assure you."
HOW MB. WEIHE LOOKS AT IT.
Mr. Weihe was asked what he know about
a rumor to the effect that Mr. Moorhead
wanted to create a dissatisfaction among the
men, so that they would accept a reduction
without compelling him to make an open
fight against the association. To this he ro.
plied: "I cannot tell what Mr. Moorhead's
motive may have been in pursuing the
course he has taken. All I keow is that Mr.
Moorhead has not signed the scale, and his
mill will not run as a union mill until ho
docs, lie can certainlv find no nlausiblo ob
jection to the scale or he woul dhave made
liis complaint at the conference committee.
This ho did not do, except in a general way.
I cannot toll i hat the outcome will be."
ON AH EASTEKff TOTJS.
President "Weihe on. Ills TVay to Visit Mills
Where Trouble Exists.
President Weihe, of the Amalgamated As
sociation, leit last night for a tour of the
Eastern mills. His first stop will be at
Logan, w here there is a dispute. He will go
from there to Steelton, where tho big fight
is in progress. He will be gone about a week
or ten days, during which time he will visit
Pencoyd, Elmyra, Catasauqna and all other
points where trouble exists.
Mr. Weihe was seen last evening before
his departure. There was one point of in
formation which ho was particularly
anxious to have made public It relates to
the docision of Superintendent Owens, of the
Treasury Department, in reference to the
importation of foreign tin plate workers.
Mr. Weihe said: "It mny not be unlawful to
import these workmen. Xeither is it
necessary. There is a sufficient number of
tin plate workers in this country to-day to
make all the tin plate that is made, and lam
sure it is not necessary to bring any more."
Inrecardto the disnnte In thn Sixth dis
trict. President Weihe sent a communica
tion yesterday to Vice Fresident P. H. Mc
Evey, stating that the Advisory Committee
w ill meet in Pittsburg, August 8, to audit the
books, and at that time will consider the ob
jectionable clause in the new soale, increas
ing the wages of helpers. It is probable the
Sixth district will send a strong delegation
to tho meeting. At mills where tho advance
has been allowed the puddlers have paid it
under protest, awaiting a decision from the
Advisory Committee.
President Weihe said yesterday he thought
the trouble wonld be setted amicably.
A GLOWING BEPOBT.
Tenth Annual Statement of General Secre
tary P. J. McGuire.
P. J. McGuire, General Secretary of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters, has issued his
tenth annnal report. The present member
ship is 81,394, Pennsylvania heading the list
with 93 unions, New York' second with 95
and Ohio third with 65.
As a result of the work of the union wages
have advanced so as to range from $2 00 to
$3 50 per day, where the rate ten years ago
was from $1 50 to 2 50. UnionmenIn42cities
are now working eight hours a day, and in
331 cities nine hours a day. In the past ten
years $15G,2 -was paid out from the general
fund for funeral and general disability ben
efits $14,732 of this being spent the past vear.
Enumerating the strikes during the year
Secretary McGuire says;
"The strikes of the future in our trade are
likely to be more prolonged, and there is
possibility of many lockouts and bitter con
tests close at hand. These struggles will
test the manhood and d votion of our mem
bers. We will have to pass through a cru
cial ordeal, which will strain every nerve
and fiber of our organization. The em
ployee are preparing for it and so must we.
At all times, however our policy should be
first to secure conferences w ith the employ
ers, and, by negotiati n, endeavor to secuie
a settlement, only resorting to a strike as a
last alternative.'
There is a balance of $8,000 in the general
fund.
BEHEWLNG THE BOYCOTT.
The Executive Board of D. A. 3 Passes a
Plain Resolution.
The Executive Board or 1). A. 3, K. of L.,
met last night and passed tho following:
Resolved, that the Executive Board of D.
A. 3, K. of L., reaffirm its former action in re
ference to the establishment of S. S. Marvin
& Co., notwithstanding the fact that a local
labor paper is advertising the firm as a
union firm. The board is cognizant of the
fact that in order to bring S. S. Marvin &
Co.s goods before the public they are using
L. T. Yo Jcr as a "go-between." Be it further
Eesolved, that organized labor is hereby
notified to watch Yoder's goods as well as S.
S. Marvin & Co's.
Jiaster Workman Dempsey said after the

One Delegate Says the Green Bottle Blowers
WiU Uot Affiliate.
John B. Campbell, a delegate to the late
convention of the Green Glass Blowers, says
the organization will not affiliate with either
the American Federation or Flints. Knp-iV.N
ing of the withdrawal from the Knights of
Labor, Mr. Campbell said:
"Many non-union blowers would bo in our
organization but ior the fact that they do
not want to be Knights, and the prospects
lor getting them are now excellent. The

pendent labor organization in the future,
and will not join the American Federation
of Labor nor affiliate with the American
Flint Glass Workers' Union, although they
are on friendly terms with the latter."
Conferring On the Scales.
The conference on the flint bottlo scales

FIGHTING. AN ISSUE.
Suits for Damages Brought by Two
lawyers for a Woman Who Was
ATTACKED IN LICENSE COURT.
Mrs. Pfeil Wants Reparation for Aspersions
on Her Character.
FIRST CASE OF THE KIND TO BE TESTED
Attorneys John Marron and John S. Bobb,
Sr., ha vo brought a suit for Johanna Pfeil,
of Allegheny, against Francis P. Kohon, of
the same city, in the Common Pleas Court
No. L for $10,000 damages for alleged defa
mation of character. The suit is of great
interest, not only as regards proceedings in
the license court, but also as determining
how far, as Mr. Marron says, "an irrespon
sible person may slander and defame an
other with impunity without swearing to
his statement."
The case is a renewal, on tho civil sido of
the court, of the suit which Judge Stowe a
few days since dismissed on the ground that
the communication to the attorney opposing
the license application of Mrs. Pfeil was
privileged. Tho papers set forth that up to
tho time the letter was written to B. C Chis
ty plaintiff deservedly enjoyed the esteem
of all her neighbors; did a legitimate busi
ness and supported herself and children,
and that defendant charged that she was a
woman of intemperate habits, cruel to her
children and an unfit person to keep a saloon.
FOOLING A BROTIIER LAWYER.
Two letters, one signed by the name of
the defendant and tho other nnsigned, con
taining a list of questions, aro in the pos
session of the attorneys for Mrs. Pfeil. Oil
being asked for an explanation as to how
they secured them Mr. Marron stated that
they got possession of them from Detective
Hesser. Having obtained the originals, the
attorneys sent them to a photo-engraving
company and got copies made. They then
handed back two of the photographic copies
to Mr. Christy, but retained possession of
tho originals, and he did not detect the dif
ference They then snbpamaed him to pro
duce all the papers in his possession relating
to the case. Mr. Christy refused to show the
papers, when they paralyzed him by exhib
iting the originals. The defense which hold
good in tho Criminal Court was that the
questions were intended for use in tho Li
cense Court,and therefore prlvileged,,-and,' '
said Mr. Marron, "If that is the law of Penn
sylvania it is in the pon er of any malicious
liar and defamer to destroy the character of
any applicant by sending the vilest calumny
into the court either anonymously or over
his own name, unless sworn to.whlch would,
in case falsity were proven, subject him to
the penalties of perjury."
BELIEF EST A REMEDY AT LAW.
Messrs. Kobb and Marron say they believe
there is a complete remedy at law for the in
jury done to Mrs. Pfeil's character, and as
there has been no case in Pennsylvania at
all similar to this they propose to have it
adjudicated for the purpose of determining
whether irresponsible people are thus privi
leged, and in case of an adverse judgment
thoy propose to take the case to the Supreme
Court. It is said the one paper is admitted
to do genuine oy jir. unristy, and the other
denied, but the prosecution relies on the
photographic copies of letter and query list,
and also with the originals, to show that
they were both written Dy the same person.
Mr. Marron saysalso that Kohen admitted
that he was interested in the cases of Hoh
man and Casey, applicants for license, and
near neighbors to Mrs. Pfeil, one of them but
a door or two distant. It is also said that
Mr. Christy says the anonymous query list
was placed among his papers in court, but
that he lias no knowledge of tho manner in
which it got among them. It is supposed
one of tho parties named above is referred
to in tho letter to Mr. Christy.
COPIES OF THE TWO DOCDMENTS.
Following are the letters and queries:
"Alleouzsy, March 19.
"B. C. Christy:
"Deab Sib aot Comrade I am interested
in a lrlend and an applicant for license
down this way. Can you make it conven
ient for me to meet you either atyour house
or office at whatever timo you designate this
evening. Yours, F. C. L.,
E. P. Cohkjt.
"Mrs. Pfeil, licensed,
"unartiers street,
"Fifth ward, A. C
"Q A few weeks after you procured your
license last year, did you not get drunk,
drivo your oldest son and daughter away
from your home?
"Q Did it not require the aid and influ
ence of one of your bondsmen to get your
son to return to your house to conduct your
business?
"Q Your son William is not conducting
your business now. He is a sober young
man, and could not stand your drinking
and abuse at home?
"Q l'ou gave up your restaurant, or giv
ing meals, after your son left you?
Q Did you not promise your husband
prior to his death that you would give up
the business? You quit for a year and
started again."
It will be conceded without argument that
if Mrs. Pfeil -nins her case there will be a
revolution in tho methods of people oppos
ing the granting of licenses to applicants.
People who have not courage to tace the
music and fight the applicant face to face in
the court will probably let cases go by de
fault. PBEPABING P0B DETB0IT.

Judge W. W. Barr, of Clarion, wlA was
appointed recently to succeed th late
Judge Wilson, registered at the Srrenth
Avenue Hotel last evening. The Jud;e said
he was a good Democrat, or he supposed
the Governor would not have selectelMm.
As more than three months will intervene
between the death of Judge Wilson aid the
next election, the people will have to cecide
at the polls who will pass on their iegal
disputes for them. If the time wenjless
than three months, under the Constituion,
he could be reappointed for another yeir.
Clarion and Jefferson counties are ir the

Clarion Democracy would indorse him 'but
there are several rival candidates fron. 'Jef
ferson. They claim tho nomination bj the
right of succession. "My only hope," re
marked the Judge, "is that the Jefferson
claimants will fail to agree, and will ;om
promise by supporting me. Otherwise -hey
can scare me out of a fight very easilrj t

William J. Lewis was locked up in flie
Nineteenth ward police station yesterday
morning for beating his wife. The coujle
live at the corner of Penn and Shady a7e

tion of Officers Bruce and Maddigan, who
started up the stairs to find out what the
trouble was.
They found Lewis armed with a poker aid
rolling-pin. He had been beating his wife ter
ribly, and she was bleeding about the head.
Lewis gave the officers a hard battle, but
they finally got him to the patrol box. Mis.
Lewis stated that her husband came hone
early in the morning drunk. Without any
ceremony he caught her by the hair, pulled
her out of bed and began beating her.
Mrs. Lewis' injuries were at first reported
to be very serious, but late last night she
was not suffering much, and there is no fear
about her. The husband will have a hear

Pittsburg's New Postoffice Will Be Beady
in Two Months.
happenings op the day in two cities
Two unknown men Jumped from the Pan
handle railroad bridge into the Monongahela
river yesterday afternoon. About 4:30 o'clock
Officer Kobert Fowler was near the northern
end of tho Smithfleld street bridge, when he
noticed two men on tho railroad bridge sev
eral squares up the river.
They were standing near the middle of
tho structure. Suddenly one of them
clambered out throueh the ironwork on the
side of the bridge and stood out on the nar
row edge, looking down into the water, 60
feet below. He had removed the major por
tion of his clothing.
The people on the Smithfleld street bridge
stopped and waited to see what would come
and several shouted to the men to take care,
but their voices were drowned by a hoarse
steamboat whistle below.
After standing motionless a few seconds
the watchers saw the man lift one arm
straight into the air. Then they noticed that
the other member was nothing but a stump.
Strong men shuddered at tho thought of a
cripple in such a perilous position. But
there was no time to do anything, for sud
denly he made a leap, and, straightening his
body, shot down to the water below. He
struck in an upright position, and
with a great splash sank out of sight.
The breathless spectators waited anxiously.
The man came to the surface and to the sur-.
Srise of everybody struck out boldly with
is one arm. The water being almost sta
tionary he reached the shoie on the South
side, where his clothes were awaiting him.
He got them on quickly.hurried up the bank
under the bridge and disappeared.
In the meantime the officer had run into
the Baltimore and Ohio depot and looked
out the window just in time to see the other
half-clad individual take a similar leap.
Down he went into the river, and, like his
crippled companion, came up quickly and
swam to the shore. Tho whole thimr was
done so quickly that people on this side of
the river had not recovered from their sur
prise in time to get across to the other bank
and find out who the daring divers were.
The men are sunnosed to have been mak
ing the leap on a wager. The water under
the bridge is only about 12 feet deep, and
the leap was a dangerous one. The people
who saw the affair were surprised to see the
one-armed man get off safely. Both men
were evidently excellent swimmers. Their
names could not be learned.
WILL BE BEADY IN TWO MONTHS.
The Lower Floor of the New Postoffice Al
most Finished.
Architect Pattison is a very busy man
these days at the new Government building.
He expects to have the lower floor ready by
September for the moving of tho postoffice.
He says It will take at least a month before
the furniture and everything will be ar
ranged, and he figures that the office will be
formally opened October 1. A carload of
the screen has arrived, another is on the
road and the balance is in the finishing de
partment of the factory. It will require 20
carlcads to fit up the office.
It was found when the rubbish was cleared
up on the Fourth avenue side that a stone
platform, 12 leet long, covering an opening
in the cellar, was broken. There was no way
of propping it up, and another one was or
dered from the quarry in Maine. Yesterday
Mr. Pattison received word that when the
new stone was almost finished they broke
it. This will cause more delay, and the side
entrance will not be opened tor some time
after the postoffice is moved. The Smithfleld
street side is being cleared up, and the stone
Eavement will soon be laid. All the windows
ave been put in on the lower floor, the plas
tering is finished and it looks ready for oc
cupancy. CAUGHT BY A BLUE LAW.
Mrs. Gertie Hopper Found Guilty of Being
, a Common Scold.
One of the blue laws of 1794 was used in
Allegheny yesterday by a landlord to get rid
of an obnoxious tenant. On the Reserve
township side of East street extension lives
Mrs. Gertie Hopper, who keeps the neighbor
hood in a continual state of worry. Occa
sionally she gets intoxicated and then has a
pleasant way of throwing water or garbage
on any person in sight. When she would tire
of this sport she would scold and gossip by
the hour.
The house she lived in was rented of H. B.
Flocker, and all his other tenants threatened
to move out if the woman stayed. He there
fore entered suit against her before Alder
man Brinker as a common scold, and she
was given a hearing. The result was that
she decided to move away.
BTBTJCK BY ITS STEFUOTHEB.
An Inhuman Southslde Woman Blackens
a Little Baby's Eyes.
Superintendent O'Brien, of the Humane
Society, yesterday arrested Lawrence Kon
lowoskie and his wife Julia. The charge
against the former is neglect to his children,
and against the latter cruelty. They live at
tho head of South Tffenty-sixth street.
A year ago the Pole's wife died, leaving
four children, the oldest 15 and the youngest
3 years of age. Last January he married his
piesentwite. She hated the children. All
summer they have been compelled to sleep
out in the yard in a shed without sidtwalls.
She continually beats the children, and only
a short time ago blackened the baby's eyes
because it cried.

Barrett Assi, an Arab peddler, yesterday
entered a complaint at Southslde police

by two men and relieved of two watch
chains and a meerschaum pipe.
He gave a description of the men and
Officer Patch was notified. He shortly after
ward arrested Louis Miller and Christopher
Kramer. They were taken before Alderman
Succop, and gave ball for a hearing this
morning.
Afraid of a Spell of Weather.
About half the people in the East End and
large delegations from other parts of the
city and Allegheny visited North High
land avenue last evening, expecting to see
M'lle Decca ascend in a balloon from a field
in the vicinity of the park. There was no
such treat in store for them, however, be
cause, as her manager said, "the sky looked
like a spell of weather." Without accident
or a similar protest from nature the ascen

p. St. and 5 p. m., to-day. Similar perform
ances will be given Thursday, Friday and
Saturday evenings.
Mrs. Cameron Will Be Tried.
Yesterday the case of Mrs. John Cameron,

A GRAVE QUESTION.
Cemeteries Being Kapldly Filled New
Grounds Hard to Procure for Burial
Purposes Arguments in Favor of the
Cremation Flan.
What shall be done with tho dead 1 This
is a question that is beginning to agitate
some people who are not cremationists.
Pittsburg, though but little over 100 years
old, has burled a great many people and
many of the comoteries are full, and all will
be in a few more years.
At a burial the other day in
tho Methodist Cemetery in St. Clair
township, gcnerrlly known as the old Meth
odist grnveyard.it was learned that the
ground was full except some spaces left in
the family lots. No more strangers can be
buried there except by permission from lot
owners, as the ground is all occupied. St.
Michael's Cemetery is also almost full. Even
in the old settled portions of the country
roundabout the same problem confronts the
people. The Sharon Presbyterian Church
graveyard is full, and tho proprietors of the
Coraopolis Cemetery expect to bury Sharon
people as fast as they succumb. The Forest
Grovo Churchyard is also nearly full, and
others might be mentioned.
In the country this is not so serious as in
the city, as land is cheap and extensions or
new yards can be gotten cheaply, but in the
city it appears there are many persons who
are apprehensive that there may be corpses
buried on top of those of their relatives,
and, though the matter is only sentimental,
yet it gives somo peoplemuch trouble. Then
there are sanitarians who think the earth
already sufficiently polluted without piling
corpse on corpse.
It may be that cremation will never work
its way into general favor, as many people,
like the Egyptians, are more solicitious re
garding their relatives' bodies after death
than in life. But it would seem to be a good
time for cremationists to repolish
their arguments. The calcimcd remains
of a friend can bo urned and
removed with the family without cost. The
urn can be buried in the yard and a roe
bush planted over it, and m every respect
incineration appears to recommend itself
so strongly that one would suppose it would
soon overcome prejudice. The only valid
argument advanced against the practice is
the ease with which criminals might obliter
ate traces of their work.

An' Expert Xow Giving lessons on
Smoke Consuming in Pittsburg.
HOW TO DISPOSE OP THE NUISANCE.
Deyices for Private Residences Are Not
let Perfected.
EXPERIMENTS ON THE JUNCTION ROAD
Siegfried V. Nagle, of Chicago, an expert in
smoke consumption matters, is at the
Monongahela House. In conversation with
a Dispatch reporter yesterday.he said:
"In Cincinnati, Cleveland and other cities,
the problem has been solved. There the
law provides that the cities must be kept
clean, 'and tho health of the communities
preserved. Ways and means were found to
meet all requirements. I am now superin
tending the construction of a smoke con
sumer in the Washington street powerhouse
of the Pittsburg Traction road, which will
be in operation next week. A smoke pre
venter is also being placed on one of the en
gines of the Junction Railroad, the first of
the kind ever tried on this section, but is ex
tensively in use in the "West.
"This question, so far as Pittsburg is con
cerned, is an interesting one. You will
change from natural gas to bituminous coal
as a means to fire your boilers. The ques
tion Is how can the smoke be abated. There
are two methods to do it: One to prevent
smoke, the other to consume it. Smoke can
be prevented in two ways either by burn-"-
ing high-priced hard coal, or by a smoke
preventing apparatus, or in other words it
can be consumed either by the lungs of the
people of this great city, or by a smoke con
suming device. To burn hard coal to pre
vent smoke is too expensive.
A EECIPE FOB CLOUDLESS SKIES.
"There are two devices which have proved
successful; one in preventing, the other in
consuming smoke; one calculated for smaller
furnaces, the other for large batteries of
boilers. The smoke nnlsance can also be
abated without placing heavy burdens on
those producing smoke. To prevent smoke
from an ordinary furnace will not cost more
than $200, and such plants, like puddling fur
naces, can be equipped in large numbers for
not more than $50 per furnace.
"The smoke consuming device I have in
mind, and which experts all over the coun
try have pronounced the most successful
in operation, can be applied at a cost of not
more than $600 per boiler furnace. The fuel
this apparatus saves to the owner is more
than JO per cent over gas, and enables him
to burn the cheapest grade of coal, worth
about 90c a ton in this market, without mak
ing a particle of smoke. But if you will
wait until all the mill owners, railroad men,
boat and building owners are ready to em
ploy smoke preventing or smoke consum
ing devices of their own accord, you will
wait until the smoke will annoy you no
longer in this land. It is a matter of fact
that several men of high standing and integ
rity in this city were approached and their
attention called to their stacks which
emitted smoke blacker than ink and thick
enough to be cut with a knife. At great
length it was explained to them how for $200
they could stop the whole nuisance. Being
intelligent men thew saw in a minute that
the apparatus would do the work, but they
did not care to apply it. Enact a law for the
abatement of the nuisance, appoint officers
and pay them for the enforcement of the
law, and let the citizens aid in the enforce
mentof the law. The public asks it, and it
demands only that which can be accom
plished." "Are there consumers in use for private
houses?" was asked.
NOTHING FOB PBIVATE HOUSES.
"So, sir, and there are not likely to be.
This is a question that I am frequently
asked, and especially in communities where
little is known of smoke-consuming devices.
In the first place, power is required to oper
ate a smoke preventer; and. in the second
place, smoke from dwellings can hardly be
called a nuisance. It annoys no one, and
when you stop the dense volumes of smoke
from the manufacturing plants and where
boilers are used, it will scarcely be no
ticed. "The objection to smoke consumers and
proposed ordinance pending in Councils, I
am 'told, comes from manufacturers, who
claim that a law on the subjeot would entail
enormous expense and hardship. That is a
mistake. I might say right hero that this
matter is partly the cause of my coming to
Pittsburg. An enterprising firm desired to
know what tho cost of stopping the smoke
from 100 puddling furnaces wonld amount to.
They were under the impression that
stokers or high-priced consumers were re-
