The publication in'Titr. Dispatch, yes
terday, of Financial Secretary Kobert H.
Lindsey's determination to return to the
Dalzelf Clubs hot admitted to the Scranton
convention the 510 initiation fee paid
prior to the convention, created a breeze
among local Republicans, especially in
club circles. Senator 2fecb was most posi
tive in asserting that thesldftin the club
organization had in no way weakened the
league.
To prevent bis being misunderstood or
misrepresented in the contest, Congressman
John Dalzell yesterday addressed a letter to
the Presidents of the Dalzell clubs through
out the State which were not allowed
in the Scranton convention, asking them
to remain in the L-eague, and urging
on them the importance of harmonious
organization as the only method of perpetu
ating the Republican party and its prin
ciples. COXGKESSMAX DAI.ZEI.tS LETTER.
In his letter Mr. Dalzell refers to the
Scranton convention. He expresses regret
at his clubs being excluded from the gath
ering, but asks that all feeling be allayed
that the league may live. He admonishes
all IJepublicans to work and vote ior Gregg
and Morrison. He predicts the success of
the Republican ticket in Xovember, and,
in conclusion, asks that all the clubs of
the State keep their organizations intact
until next year in the hope that the next
annual meeting of the organization will be
the largest it lias ever held.
The letter w as the one subject for discus
sion at the Republican clubs last night.
The partisans are slow to persuade them
selves that the letter was made necessary by
the discontent or dissatisfaction in the or
ganization. CONSIDERED A MANIA' ADDRESS.
All agreed, lion ever, that Mr. Dalzell's
prompt action in the premises would have a
decidedly good eftcct, and while he was not
present at either of the clubs be was con
gratulated and applauded frequently on
what was termed his manly letter.
Chairman Grip p was especially gratified
with Mr. Dalzell's action. The Republican
Chairman said: "Defeat does not sour Alle
gheny county Republicans, and the many
Republicans who fought for Dalzell now
think the more of him when thv find him
true to his party and his friends."

WAR ON WHOLESALERS
Begun by Police Against Violators
of liquor Law Constructions.
DEALERS SAY THEY WILL FIGHT IT.
Will Be Carried to Court and May Go to
the Supreme Bench.
GENERAL DOINGS AEODT THE CITIES
The new constructions of the liquor law
will receive a thorough test in rittsburg,
in a short time, l'olice Superintendent
"Weir announced some time ago that be
would bring suit against wholesalers,
bottlers and brewers who have been violating
this law. He sent notices to all dealers to
this eflect. The law provides that not less
than 12 pint bottles of beer shall be sold at
one time. The Superintendent holds that
this does not mean a gallon and a half in
bulk, but that the amount must he put up
in 12 pint bottles. On investigation Super
intendent "Weir found that numerous places
were keeping up their old jug trade, selling
beer in quantities as small as one quart.
A few dealers took warning by his notice
and proceeded to comply with it. But the
majority paid no attention to the
notice and continued selling as befoie.
The superintendent decided to suo some
of the parties and secnio a test of
the law. He is confident ho will
w in the cases, as he says the law is clear and
concise in its wording and cannot have any
other meaning than that he has intctpreted.
Accordingly on Saturday he enteicd infor
mation befoio Aldennan Gnpp against
James Powers, ofXo 115 Sixth avenue; Jos
eph Rohm, of Shingiss and Forbes
streets, and Lawrence Hufnagle, of
No. 02." Wylie avenuo. charging
them with selling liquor without
license. Detective Kobinson made similar
information befoie A'derman McKonna
against Samuel Abntni, of Xo. 2S0G Penn
avenue, and Henry Heck, of Xo. 29J.J Small
m in street.
The bearings before Gnpp will bo
held Thursday. Those before Mc
Kenua aio scheduled for to-morrow.
All the cases will be hotly conteste I.
The liquor dealers have subscribed a large
fund for the purpose of securing legal assis
tance on then side They claim the law
cannot he cntoiccd as Superintendent Weir
interpi ets it and thev w ant test cases. It is
more than probable that all the cases will
go to com tr Some or the liquor men say
they vull even push the matter to the
Supremo Couit if tho Loner Bench
decides against them. They have plentv ot
money to do it. On the other hand, Super
intendent Weir says ho is willing to go as
far as they do.
Theio is no question in my mind," said
ho, "that tho law as it stands pio
hibitb wholesalers from selling less
than 12 pints of beer. The fact tliat
a large number of them have
been selling less quantities than this is no
secret. They make no attempt to hide the
tuct. I considei it my place to st e that tins
law is enforced, and propose to do so to the
best of mv alulit. If these people im
agine they can openly violate the
State laws they are badly mistaken.
As to tho constitutionality of
the law that is a matter for tho courts to
decide and not for me. Some dealers
have declared that the law is con
trarv to the Constitution. They
w ill have to prove th it in the proper way.
But as long as this is not done they aro open
to prosecution."

Chief Ehlers Wants More Money.
Chief Ehlers, of Allegheny, said last night
that so far as the water extension vioik was
concerned the city was no better off than bc
loie, although $15,000 had been appropriated
for tho Bureau ot Water. He said that ho
had been under the impression that the fund
for the How ai d street pumping station bad
been transferred fiom the contingent lunil,
hut tins was not the case, and ho thought
that pel hap this $15,0u0 would have to bo
applied to the pumping station, new boileis,
etc., instead ot to the extension ot the w liter
service. He believes the Bureau of ater
needs about $30,000 more.

HIGHER PEICES LOOKED FOB.
How the Limited Stock or Window Glass
Will Affect the Trade.
The window glass factories nie not rc
snming operations very rapidly. Onlv two
houses on the Southsido are in operation so
far, and the prediction mado in these
columns a few days ago that many of
them would not resumobeforc October 15 will
be fulfilled. Indeed it was reported es
terday that some houses may not mako auy
glass this flro. There is considerable con
jecture as to the future pi ice of window
glass. The firm of 11. C. Schmertz & Co . has
just issued a circular to the trade in which
it says: "Tho impoits of window glass for the
last tw o mouths aie much less than for tho
same period last year, nnd the stock
of Ameilcan glass in the hands of
manufacturers is about 100.0CO boxes less
than it was a year ago. Tho pi ice fixed by
the manufacturers at the Columbus meeting
is considered by mnny as too low, but a
meeting called for October can correct tins
matter." Tho general impression is that
the matter will be corrected and that
higher prices may bo looked for. Xono
of tho manufacturers have much glass to
sell and it will be an easy matter for them
to command higher prices w hen the
factories do resume. Mr. Loellli-r said
yesterday it was hardly fair to say that
manufacturers hid no glass to sell, as many
of them are taking very large orders light
along, but he admitted that some of them
would not be filled until after tho houses
start up.
Tlioinns Bodine, of Cohanspy, President of
the National Association of Window Gin's
Manufacturer, is stopping nt thoDuquesne.
He is here to exchange views with local
manufacturers ou trade matters. Speaking
jesteiday of tho trade outlook lie said
the ptospects are not encouraging. Piiees
ruled low, and the Ameiican maker of glass
had to compete with the foreign glass which
is to-da quoted at lower prices to the im
porter tnan ever befoie.
"But the main (actor in keeping down
prices," said Mr. Bodine, "isoveiprouuotion.
Thcieistoo much glass being made here.
That is to .ly, there is too much being made
for the market, pins the foreign Im
portation. If all tho factories in the
country were to inn full thev would about
supply the Ameiican trade, if the foieigueis
weie shut out. As conditions rnlo to-dav it
is the worker who reaps the rewaid. The
demand for workers koeps up the prico of
labor, while overproduction keeps down
the profits of the manufacturers. If the
manufacturer could perfect an organiza
tion as complete as the workers have
effected theirs, they might ndjustconditions
more favorable to themselves than those
existing. As it is, manufacturers are divided
among themselves and have to meet the
competition from abioad. The foreign
niakcis reduced tho cost of labor and of
material to suit the exigencies or the tariff,
and are now not alone placing glass on the
American market at a figure lower than be
fore, but nre producing an article that is
superior to outs. That is because there is
more care taken in making it. Our men
earn such high w ages at such little expendi
ture of labor as to make tlicm careless.
Take the difference in the hours ruling here
nndabiond: the foreigners work fiom 11 to
12 hours and every dav In tho week;
ours work eight and stop from Friday
until Sunday at midnight. The high wages
earned by American wotkersis due to or
ganization. I don't find fault with an or
ganization which will produce this result.
The truth is that the manufacturers cannot
coalesce with the same object: that of gain
ing a fair leturu foi their labor.
And while the present conditions re
main, the foreigner making better and
cheaper glass than ours will keep his. posi
t on on the American market, while the
American manufacturer, paying three times
tho amount in wages, is beaten on his own
ground. There will bol.COOpots in operation
this year; that is tw Ice as many as ten cars
ago, while the demands foi glass are
not at all proportionately increased.

Am FROM RIVER MEN.
The Least Snspected by the Operators
iow Turning Against Them.
EIGHT-HOUR MOVEMENT DROPPED.
Imported Non-Union Men Made
ippearance Yesterday.
Their
PEIXTERS TOTE AGAINST REPORTERS
The miners' difficulty assumed yesterday,
for the first time, the aspect of a complete
strike. The trouble expected up the Monon
gahela river did not take place, but some
lively times were expected to-day,
as the situation is rather an
exciting one. All the mines,
with the exception of Scott's No. 1,
quit work Saturday and a committee was
appointed to see that the men employed
there did not go to work there yesterday
morning. The committee carried out its
instructions, and Secretary McQuaid re
ported at headquarters last evening, after
making a complete tour of all the
mines along the Monongahela river, that
there was not a man at work in all of the
Pittsburg district. J. Morton Hall said in
the afternoon that he thought some few of
the mines were in operation, but the later
information was that everv thing was quiet
with every man out.
THE WES' NOT ALL UNITED.
However, tho men at Scott's No. 1 are
divided. Some say they will go to work
and others say they will not only not go to
work, but they will see that no one else
works. Upon the action of the men de
pends the movement of the men at several
other mines, the latter sa ing that they will
do whatever Scott's men do. That means
that the few men emplojed at Scott's
can either win or lose tho present
strike for the miners. As they are unorgan
ized the operators have boen coantlng on
them returning to work, but it has been a
noticeable fact this time that the nnoigan
icdmenarcasniixious for the advanco as
those who nro in the organization.
Besides, tho 10,(00 or 12,000 men who are on
stukeheie aro to have the combined sup-
Sort of all the general ofllceis and the
nited Mine Workers as a body. Word was
received from President Costello last night
to tho effect that the General Executive
Board would give all of its attention
to the Pittsburg district previous to
precipitating the eight-hour demands in the
other three States. It is understood that
Mr. Costello Is responsible for this delay in
the eight hour movement this time. Be told
a friend before leaving Pittsburg to attend
the meeting in Columbus that bo would use
his influence to have tho eight-hour move
ment shelved for tho present, In order to
givo the local officials a better op-
Kortunity to win the strike here.
fe proposed to ash the board
for its support for the Pittsburg district,
and after th it is disposed of tliev will take
up the demands for Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. It miy be that instead of
making tho eight-hour demands now,
they will substitnto a demand for in
creased pay all along the lino
in each of the four States. Iu either event
the General Executive Board will issue a
circular to the miners in a dav or two de
claring its position to them nnd explaining
the stand it desires them to take.
ANOTHER OPEKATOHS' MEETING.
Thcro was another meeting of operators
yesterday. Keports. were received as to the
condition of each operator's business. It
was reported in almost every case that
tho consumers would look out for
coal fiom other souices nnd would not
push the operators or their contracts. The
case of Henry Floershelm was brought up,
and according to the operators settled to
the satisfaction of all concerned, Mr. Floer
shelm agreeing to refuse to grant the
advance. Mr. Hall said after the
meeting that there was but very
little business transacted but the
operators resolved anew to stand by tho
agreement at all hazards. He was sure tliat
arrangements had been completed by which
no operator will be pushed to fill contracts.
"There nre plenty of men working at the
old rate, and we can get out all the coal
necessary," said Mr. Hall.
The first story about importing men came
out late last night, and tiouble is now
thought to be a certainty.
SITUATION AT MONON CITY.
The following, received from Mononga
hela City at midnight, explains It -elf. "Sev -eral
coal tipples along the line of the rail
roads have been abnndoncd because no coal
could be obtained for the engines. Late to
night a coil train passed north fiom the
fourth pool witli 12 cars of co il from the
Acme mine. This mine hud succeeded in
securing a largo number of miners f 1 om the
anthracito region, and it is the first work
et turned out by nou union men, creating
some excitement. The feeling among tho
men over the emploincnt of miners from
the anthracito region Is v ery bitter, and It
is feared there is trouble ahead IT the impor
tation continues. TLe men have bcon pre
paring for tliis strike for months, and tliey
say they will not abandon it at the first
signs of a struggle with the operators.
The miners nie jubilant tonight over re
ports fiom Viiginlannd the West, stating
that tho miners there will assist them in
their struggle, and will not allow any con
tracts fiom this distiict to he filled there.
The veteran operator Jones was seen
to-night, and 'aid ho feared a closing
down or the entire region. He said he had
heard somo minors of this .during the
day, as the miners believed thev were oeing
outwitted bv tho operators sending coal
down to Pittsburg in bo its and flats, and
there leading it into cars. Unless this is
stopped the miners will all come out.
Mine Inspector Louttit leports all mines fur
ther up the river as being shut down, and
sav s the men are holding nrmly together."
The opeiators will be surprised nt learn
ing of any disposition on the part
or tho river miners to help
the railroad men, and their greatest
tear for a few days was from the
river operators, who were said to have
20.0CO.COO bushels or coal in flats readv to ship
down the liver on tho flist rise. To have
tho tables tinned this way will prove very
disastious to the plans of the opeiators.

BUYING MACHINEEY HEBE.
Two Cubans in Town to Look After Sugar
Making Machinery.
V. de la Calle and Juan Estang, of Havana,
Cuba, are guests at the Duquesne. Senor
dc la Calle said last night that he and his
friend wcro here to buy machinery and
equipment for making sugar. He said that
he had already spent some $60,000 in New
York in goods, but regretted having done
so because he found since Ins arrival ho
could have dono better here. He said he
bujs his usual supplies at thi3 time, trading
principally in New York.
Senor de la Calle sa s he will be obliged to
any Fittsbnrger w ho can furnish him with
coal at a lower cost than $S per ton iu Cuba.
He thinks that this city ought to be getting
its share of tho $X),000,COO of business which
Cuba docs with this country. The value of
tho exports from Cuba are about $50,000,000.
Reciprocity wijs a good thing for Cuba and
w ould extend her commercial relations with
the United States very considerably.
Looked for Them in the Lockup.
Another humorous incident was enacted
in the Job printers' strike yesterday morn
ing. Nearly half of tho men who were
brought hero Friday and Saturday did not
report for duty yesterday morning. Their
nonappearance was understood all right
enough by tlio majority of the employers,
hut the head of one firm could not under
stand what had became of the five men he
had working ior him Saturdav. The first
idea that struck him was that the men had
been drinking cither Saturdav or Sunday
night and had been arretted. lie started to
make a tour of the station houses to find the
lost printers if possible. He had not gono
far when he was met by one of the striking
printers who gently but with considerable
sarcasm romiiidcd him tliat if ho wanted to
catch any of the missing men he should go
to Philadelphia, Cincinnati or Chicago.
There was practically nothing new in tne
situation yesterday. Xo new printers ar
rived, but the employers claim that every
thing is going along all right and all the
houses are succeeding in getting out the
pressing orders.
