    THE PTTTSBIJEQ- DISPATCH,' BA.TUEDA7 NOVEMBER - V 1891.
DEMAND ME HOURS.
Nearly Xinc Hundred of Jones &
Laughlin's' Men on a Strike.
OTHER DEPARTMENTS MAT GO OFT.
Miners' Troubles Breaking Out Again Over
This District."
XOTES FEOM THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD
Eight on the heels ol the partly settled
strike of the miners of the Pittsburg dis
trict comes anomer eruption of labor. Yes
terday The Dispatch mentioned the
reduction that Jones & Laughlins had made
in the wages of their laborers, and said there
was mun dissatisfaction among the men.
Yesterday their dissatisfaction came to a
head in the shape of the men, nearly 900 in
number, refusing to accept the reduction,
and are now out on a strike.
As was stated before, the cause of the
trouble was an increase of working hours
and none in wages. The notices vev served
on blacksmiths, carpenters, steel mill shov-
elers and laborers, beam mill and bridge
mill workers. The bridge department was
shut down yesterday, but the other depart
ments were working with the few who re
mained or were put in afterward. In the
12-inch mill the men heard that a notice
was to le served and thev quit before if
was posted up.
Only Coining Rack to Old Fisnres.
About one year ago the machinists of the
this mill struck for a nine-hour day and
won. As a consequence of this other de
partments were put on the nine-hour sys
tem. The officials of the mill claim it ti as
only done because they thought the other
mills in Pittsburg would do the same,
As none of the other manufacturers fol
lowed them, the firm now intends to put
the men back to just where they were one
year ago. Further than this they have
nothing to say.
Yesterday afternoon the men held a roeet
inc in "Weber's Hall, Southside. Over 500
men attended the meeting. They lully dis
cussed the stand they were taking, and ap
pointed a committee to wait on the firm
this morning. The committee was instructed
to inform" the management that the
strikers wanted to be taken back
on the nine-hour basis, and if this could
not be accomplished they were not to make
any compromises, as the men did not want
anything but a straight retraction of the
company's actions. One of the strikers said
last night that he thought the company
would not accept their terms.
Other Departments May Strike.
The men workin in the polishing depart
ment held a meeting last night, but refused
to give out anything. It was learned from
another sourc that the men were discussing
the propriety of going out, although as yet
they have Dot received any notioe of are
duction, aud to-morrow morning will very
likelv find this department idle. This will
be a hard blow to the firm, as the polishers
are now at work on an order for
1,000.000 cutter bars. which must
be finished at once. The engineers were
also reported last night to be preparing to
ttrike to-day. If this is done the whole
mill, in which over 4,000 men are employed,
will go out. Or in case the engineers do
not. the machinists will. Last night a
machinist employed in the mill
paid : " It is only a matter
of a day or two until we receive our notices,
and ihen we do every man will strike.
The refusal of the machinists to work would,
of course, cause a strike of the entire mill,
as we are a thoroughly organized body.
Een if the notices are not served oa the
machinists they may strike in order to help
the organized labor along."
3IISERS STILL OX A STRIKE.
Eeveral Operators Decline to Reinstate the
Leaders and the Men Refuse to Work
The Report of the "4-Cent Kate Is De
nied. The miners' strike is far from being set
tled and it is now effecting trade throushont
the district. Operator say that never be
fore has coal been so scarce, and as a conse
quence of this railroads and other businesses
are suflering.
At "West Xewton the operators refused to
reinstate the three leaders of the strikers,
and all the men, 300 in number,
came out yesterday afternoon. At
Cannonsburg, on the Panhandle
Hailroad, the Cannonsburg Coal
Company and Walsh, Ktsteel & Co. yester
day refuted to take back thp 300 strikers
who had been working in these mines be
fore the strike. At "the Buffalo mines, on
the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston
Railroad, a snag of another nature was en
countered. The firm were willing to take
the men back, but only anted to pay 74
cents. This would have been a reduction of
5 cents on the VH-oeut rate. The operators
made their offer to the men on
the strength of the report that
the district had allowed the new
York Gas Coal Company to work its men at
this rate. President Costello denies this
report, and says that the district or any of
its officers never sanctioned the operation of
any mine at a less rate than 79 cents per
ton.
The miners in the district mentioned in
yesterday's Dispatch are still out, and
there is but little hope of a speedv settle
ment Yesterday President Costello spent
a part of the day with the dissatisfied
miners. He came to the citv last night, but
only stayed a short time and left town, say
ing he would not return until to-morrow,
but would not say where he was going.
Sheet Irn 31en Reaffirm Prices.
A half-dozen manufacturers of sheet and
galvanized iron met at the Monongahela
House yesterday to discuss prices and the
condition of the market Harry "Whitely,
of Philadelphia, seemed to be among the
leading; spirits. The meeting was secret.
and nothing could be obtained from those
present The Secretary stated that present
rales Mere reaffirmed, and that the condition
ot the market was not any too good. There
is a surplus, and prices have not been main
tained as they should be.
Harmony Among Musicians.
The Great "Western Band held a meeting
yesterday morning and decided to go back
to the M. 31. P. TJ. They left that organi
7ation over two years ago to join the
Knights pf Labor. Gus Kreil, a member of
the Executive Board of the M. M. P. TJ.,
said last night that there is now little prob
ability that a band composed of the best
Pittsburg musicians will be engaged for" the
next Exposition.

works are being enlarged. This will in

Director J. 11 Keeler, of the Allegheny
Observatory, but formerly connected with
the Lick Observatory, lectured last night
before the Academy of Science and Art on
the "if ebular Hypothesis." He said:
"One point brought out by the spectro
scope is that some stars, at least, are formed
by the condensation of nebulse. The tele
scope and camera show that all stars are
probably formed in the same way. If stars
are evolved in this way from nebulie our
own sun, which is nothing but an ordinary
star, cannot be regarded as an exception,
and, of course, all the planets, including the
earth, must have been produced by the pro
cess which formed the sun. Apparently we
hac in the solar system a clock
which is running down. "When the
sun ceases contracting, which may
be in some 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 years, its
outflow of light aud heat must cease, and
ail living creatures must perish off the face
of the earth. Something unforeseen by our
imperfect vision may intervene to prevent
such a dismal end. Of this problem, how
ever, the nebular hypothesis is not under
obligations to lurnis'h a solution."
