THE PTITSBUBa DISPATCH. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER S, 180L LIKELYT0BACO0WE Uailroad Miners Will Probably Give Up the Strike To-Day. COSTELLO STILL PERSISTENT, Int Operators Feel Certain They Will Be AMo to Resume. COLORED CAEPET LEATEES ORGANIZE To-day the miners of the Pittsburg dis trict will meet in convention. It is thought that the convention will be short-lived, as the miners throughout the district are weak enins, and measures for a speedy conclusion of the trouble are looked for. Yesterday a well-attended mass meet ing was held at Findleyville, which was addressed by President Costello. "When lie returned last night he was reticent about talking of miners' matters. In speakinp of the meeting he said" "There were 500 miners in attendance. The men all seemed firm and promised a big turnout at to-day's convention." As to the outcome of the convention, Mr. Costello had nothing to say, more than that the men were willing to keep up the fight snd carry it on to the inevitable end. He also aid that no operators had been akcd to be admitted to the convention, and he did not think they would want to, as he thought they did not have any compromises to offer. The 3Iclcesport steel operators are now feeling confident that the strike is vertually over and they are getting their usual amount of coal on hand, and they are now poing ahead as before the strike. At Scott Haven the miners in W. S. Scott's mines all went to work. CAFPET BEATERS ORGANIZE. A Free Tight Follows a U1I1 Sleeting of Union No. 1 Carpet Beaters' Union No. 1 will be the name of a "hill" organization, provided the scheme cf one of the depressed gen tlemen of color is carried to a successful pnd. The man with the brilliant idea is George 'Washington Franklin Corn valli. He was a s.lave before the oldest character in Uncle Tom's Cabin came into life and made himself famous in ante bcl lum days as a fighter for his master. He afterwards went through the war and claitas the distinction of being the only black man who ever called Stonewall Jack sou a liar to his face. He still maintains the war-like spirit of younger days and thinks his glorv will be complete it he can only form an organisa tion of the "men in lib own craft to knock out the capitalist. "W've been cutting prices too much in the tia'-t," he said, in forcible negro dialect, to a dozen of his companions at an open nenng on jjuc ns urn last nignt. "1 sua in favor of organizing," he continued. "Weought toj;et twice as much for knocking the dnt out of carpet as we do. I am iu fever of charging so much a yard and hiring asecrctarv ho has got enough education to count the yards. On account of mv old re and good learning I think I would be the proper person to select for secretary." A chorus of objections stopped the flow err speech, and then it became appar ent that every one present wanted to be secretary. The free discussion that followed was given a great deal more freedom than the colored race itself. "When last heard of the members of the union were pounding each other with as much force ns they hammered carpet. Meantime Mr. Cornwallis is trying to gel together a more peaceable crowd for his union. THE NEW SCALE SIGHED. Skilled "Work Gets Big Money, "While Other Depsrtmentb Are Cat Down. The Edgar Thomson Steel "Works, of Braddock, presented the scale to the men and it was signed by nearly all the men. The scale will be used for the next three years. The skilled workmen in the finish ing department were given a large increase of wages, while in the rolling and convert ing departments there was a corresponding decrease. The scale on the whole is con sidered satisfactory by the men. "Sext will come the adjustment of the wages of the blast furnacemen. It is not known wnen tins scale win oe presented, but it is thought reductions also will be tne rule there. The firm has immense contracts on lnnd. and the usual shut down about Christmas will be very short this year. One Boycott Settled. The printers are now making a new move iu their strike. Yesterday they started committees to canvass work for the union offices, and particularly to work against the non-union employers. They also claim to have i on their boycott against the Repub lican and Democratic tickets. They say that both p-vlies hae thrown away th'e first tickets, which were printed in non-union offices and have had them printed in union offices. At the headquarters of both par ties the officials yesterday said the tickets had been printed in union offices. Industrial Notes. The Edgar Thomson Steel "Works have prepared their revised wage scale, and the men have from now until January 1 to sign it. Tho Presbyterian Union. The annual meeting of the Presbyterian "Union was held in the First Presbyterian Church, yesterday afternoon. Owing to the death of the late "William McCreerv, President of the Union, Dr. Pnrves, the Vice President, occupied the chair. The report of the Treasurer, "Wilson A.

"WHAT CARNEGIE'S WORKS CAN DO Tho Recent Test at Indian ITead Entirely Satisfactory. Not A WELL POSTED WITNESS ONTIIE STAND A gentleman connected with one of the great industries of Western Pennsylvania and an expert on armor plate and kindred subjects, in an interview last evening spoke as follows: "The account given in the papers of the armor plate test at Indian Head last Satur day appears on the face to have a strong coloring in favor of the Bethlehem Iron Company. This may be readily accounted for when it is known that prejudice exists in some quarters against rolled armor plates as compared to the hammered plate of suoh firms as the Schneider Bros., of Creusot, France, and latterly the Bethlehem Iron Company, of Bethlehem," Pa. It was fully proven by the test of Saturday last that the Pittsburg rolled plate is immensely superior to that of the forged or .hammered plate of the Bethlehem Company. Tho Composition Considered. 'To appreciate this fact it is only necessary to consider the composition of the three plates that were tested last Satur day. The Carnegies submitted one low car bon nickel steel plate whose surface was not treated bv the Harvev Drocess of sur face carbonization, while the Bethlehem Company submitted two plates; one high carbon and one low carbon nickel steel treated by the Harvey process. A careful analysis of the various shots fired, and their relative effects upon the three plates will convince any intelligent man that the low carbon, nickel steel of the Carnegies was superior Jrom every point of view. Take the first shot fired at the high carbon nickel steel plate of of the Bethlehem Com pany and the second shot fired at the low carbon nickel steel plate of the Carnegies and we find that the effects-produced were almost identical. This, in itself, was of vast importance when we remember that one was a high carbon and the other a low carbon plate; and if the tests were mado for the purpose only of determining the aualitv of the material used in composition of the plates, the rolled armor of the Pittsburg concern would easily carry off the honors. But it is not generally un derstood that the test was made for the pur pose of determining the difference between rolled and forged armor. A Successful Demonstration. There is no question now that the firm of Carnegie, Phipps & Co. have demonstrated to the world that they can, successfully, make the armor required to sheathe our monitors and cruisers as well. But one thing is certain, and that is, that the Pitts burg firm has mighty obstacles to surmount and a mountain of prejudice to climb in this competition. There is a deep-rooted preju dice existing among the manufacturers of the East, and it is known that predictions were made that the method adopted by uarnegie, .rnipps K uo. lor turning out tne armor for our navy would never prove suc cessful. "In view of the results obtained at Indian Head bv the competitive test of last Satur day, all doubts must of necessity be now dispelled, and I venture to predict that when the series of tests will have been con cluded, Pittsburg steel will be on top. Their Coatly Plant. "Carnegie, Phipps & Co. have expended the enormous sum of $2,000,000 for the erec tion of a plant for the sole purpose of mak ing armor for our navy, and every patriotic and public-spirited citizen in this great iron and steel center pf the world will rejoice at its success. More than this, in the event of the United btates going to war with any country and there is a possibility of her doing so at the present time the Carnegies would at once place their entire industrial establishments, having a total capacity of 10,000 tons finished output per day. "In the time of war the Bethlehem Iron Company would bo at a disadvantage. They would be unable to push any order they might receive, as the forging of armor under a steam hammer is of necessity very slow work and considerable time is required to forge a single plate. Carnegie, Phipps & Co., on the other hand, with their immense capacity and their method of rolling could easily turn out sufficient material to make and equip any ordinary gunboat or torpedo vessel required for quick utility. "At all events Pittsburg has nothing to fear from the competition of the Eastern firms, such as the Bethlehem Company, which is backed by the Creusot Works and other foreign capitalists with Sir George Whetmore at its head organizea to rake in some of the shekels Uncle Sam is going to expend on his new naval fleet." Rushing Repairs on tho Newark. Boston, Nov. 2. Commander Selfrige, of the Charlestown Navy Yard, received tele graphic orders this forenoon from Secretary Tracy directing that the cruiser Newark now on the drv dock, be .made ready for, sea by November 10. Orders have also been received, stating that in employing men for work on the cruiser the civil service rules recently put in force must be strictly ad hered to. Dont be deceived by dealers who "cut" prices. "Cutting'' prices leads to "cutting" goods. For this reason and to pro tect the public, the genuine medi cines of Dr. R.V.

It's " value re ceived or no pay." In every caso where Dr. Pierce's medicines fail to give satisfaction, the makers will return tho money. But, they want to be sure that you get tfieir medi cines, and not their bottles refilled or tam pered with, or spurious imitations.

KAUFMANNS' GREAT NOVE MEN'S OVERCOATS! November is the great overcoat month of the year. Many dealers, taking advantage of the brisk demand for overcoats during the next 30 days, put their prices up to high-water mark, and reduce them some time in December or January, after nine-tenths. of the people have supplied their wants. The diametrically opposite is the case in our store. We believe in selling onr goods the cheapest, not when the sea son is nearly over and the demand has died out, but RiGigr Now while the people are mostly in need 'of them. As far as the prices are con cerned, then, you can rest assured-on rinding ours from one-quarter to one-fhird below all competition. On the point of economy you cannot, therefore, afford to buy your overcoat outside of- Kaufmanns'. But if economy be not the only object if 'the extent of'the assortment, the quality of the goods, the beauty of-ihe-styles, etc.,-are to be taken into consideration by the buyer-(and theycertainly should be) then there is every reason in the world why the buyen should patronize Kaufmanns' store. For right here, at the acknowledged clothing headquarters, will be found the largest, finest and-most'fashionable variety of Men's Over coats ever exhibited in Pittsburg.
