-? THE 'PITTSBURG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 23r--189L 9 i, ; -- THE- CITY BUILDERS IVho Belong to the Exchange Komi- nate Their Officers. COMBINED AD DUEING STRIKES Xot looked Upon With Favor by the Pitts burg Organization. GOSSIP OF INDUSTRIAL CIRCLES The quarterly meeting of the Builders Excliange was held yesterday afternoon and nominations were made for next year's offi cers. The election will be held on January 4. President H. It. Barnes and Treasurer T. J. Hamilton were renominated without opposition. Secretary E. A. Knox declined a rcnomination and JL K. Bose is the only nominee. There are two vice presidents to elect, Adam "Wilson, AV. P. Lupton, L. M. Morris and Samuel Francis being the nomi nees. The nominations for directors, six to elect, were .Tames Hav, "V. B- Stoughton, "William Powell, L. M. Morris. E. M. Ma graw, George S. Fulmer, John Loresh, Titus Bcrger and Evan Jones. Committee on Appeal (six to elect) H. a A Stewart, "William Powell, J. F. Brug geman, F. Lingenfelser, T. J. Evans, Alex Hall and Oliver Stintson. There were 4S nominations to the National Conention, of whom 36 will be elected, 18 delegates and IS alternates. A communication from the Secretary of the National Builders' Association was read in the meeting. It stated that through the press of Pittsburg the national officers had learned that the Pittsburg Exchange de sired certain changes made in the laws of the national organization, and asked that a written draft and explanation of the changes desired be submitted at once, in order that the subject might be placed on the calendar of the national convention and be sure of consideration. After some discussion, in which it was shown that there is an element in the Pitts burg Exchange which is not particularly desirous of connection with the national bodv, the communication was referred to the Board of Directors. The directors will gn e the matter full consideration and their report will largely determine what instruc tions the delesates to the national conven tion will receive. The proposition to make a national agreement wherebv the whole oiganization will assist subordinate bodies in time of strikes or other troubles in their districts will come before the board and will probablv be knocked out. Several members of the board, who are opposed to the proposition, declare it entirely imprac ticable and say it would prove a failure to cure the evil for which it is intended. the offices. An employing printer said yesterday: "We have beaten the strikers and they know it. I have oflers -from a mnnber'of them to go back to work at my own conditions, but I refused them. Every office is running with a full complement of men, aud while there are a few of the strikers who could get their old places back, the employers can get along without them. There are "a number of men who never will get back, and there are a number of others, excellent workmen, who from my knowl edge of them, will never want to go back while the strike is on."

He says the nail mills are now selling billets to the tin plate manufacturers, and in the future this will be a feature of the business. The nail trade is very dull, and all the makers can do is to wait and hope. Mr. Dubois is convinced that the cut nail is plaj ed out. He says the wire nail business is just as slow, and he knows they are beine sold for less than cost. It is not competi tion from this quarter that is knocking ont the cut nail people. Both Still Claim a Victory. The job printers claim their strike is not affected any by the fact that three men went to work on Monday, and they say they more than offset this defection from their ranks by sending away 13 men who came herejrom other cities and were working in Talk or the Plans and Resolutions Adopted at the Convention. The delegates from this district to the National Convention of the Federation of Labor returned to the city late Monflay night. They were met on arrival by a dele gation of the striking job printers, who con ducted them to a downtown hotel and gave them a banquet. Speeches were made by Delegates "Williams, Dougherty and Car ney, and the printers were represented by speakers who thanked the delegates for their eflorts in securing the $3,000 appro priation from the National Convention. Messrs. Dougherty and Carney were seen yesterday, and when asked for an opinion bf the peace resolution adopted by theFed eration as a conciliatorv step to the K. of Ik, Mr. Carney would make no reply. Doughertv was not as backward. He said: "It was all that the Federation could do; it was as far as they dared go. Personally I don't think there has been any serious dif ferences between the K. of It and the Fed eration, and there is nothing to make peace about, but the resolution was a fair measure and would prevent any trouble between the two organizations." Mr. Dougherty was asked how he liked the re-election of President Gompers. "Oh. he's elected, but every delegate from this district voted for Burtt." Then Mr. Doncherty also became uncommunica tive and the interview ended.

Kid walking gloves, new shades, at James H. Aiken & Co.'s, 100 Fifth avenue. The Window Glass Trade DnlL T. J. O'Leary, of the O'Leary Glass Com pany, said last night that the window glass business had not been so dull since it came into existence as it is now. "There are not over 50 per cent of the window glass manu factories in the country at present in opera tion," he continued, "and the prospects for a resumption of the briskness which manu facturers like to see are not rosy. The men feel the dullness more than the manufac turers. Two weeks ago their association appropriated $5,000 lor the men who are compulsorily idle. This was never before necessary since the organization of the asso ciation. Of course the organization is well provided with funds, but unless there is a decided improvement in the business next spring I fear their balance will be greatly reduced." Opening Dp Beaver Valley Coal Lands. Capitalists from New Castle and James town have commenced to build a branch road from Ellwood Junction to a lot of coal land south of Ell wood. About 800 acres of coal were bought in the neighborhood last summer. The branch will be 3 miles long and will run up the valley from Thompson Run. It will be an extension ot the Beaver and Ellwood road. Among those interested are Mr. Bainey, of New Castle, and L. S. Hovt, a partner of the lateW. L. Scott They will have invested when the road is completed about $300,000. The outpnt of coal is put at 200 tons a day.

AWAIT IUU TN ' HATS, IN UMBRELLAS Brandreth's Pills When anything stands a test of sixty years among a discriminating people like the Americans, it is pretty good evidence that there is merit somewhere. The value of 'a medicine is best proved by its continued use from year to year by the same persons and families, as well as by a steady, increasing sale. Few, if any, medicines have met with such continued success and popularity as has marked the introduc tion and progress of Brandreth's Pills, which, after a trial of sixty years, are conceded to be the safest and most effective purgative and blood purifier introduced to the public. That this is the result of merit, and that Brandreth's Pills actually perform all that is claimed for them, is conclusively proved by the fact that those who regard them with the greatest favor are those who have used them the longest. Brandreth's Pills are purely vegetable, absolutely harm- less, and safe to take at any time. -Sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar coated.
