FACTOBS FORGED OUT. George I. Whitney Calls Attention to the Fall of the Middleman. THE KESDLT OF COMBINATIONS. Changes of a Score of Tears imthe Business of PittsDurjr. CONSUMERS GET SOME OP THE BENEFIT The effect that business combinations haa in depriving lawyers of work was described recently in The Dispatch, and it is now found that the factor, or middle man is also seriously affected. He is of less conse quence year by year, and where ten made a lirius 40 or even 20 years apo as distributors there is now scarce room for the energy of one. The matter was discussed in a Fourth avenue broker's office, and George X. Whit ney gave some data which shows that many people must soon invent some new form of making a living. Among instances cited was that of a man who once cold the product of 30 small furnaces which found a market in this city. These furnaces all combined produced about the output of one of the mammoth concerns of the present day. The Pittsburg factor took their product, that is he guaranteed the sale of it, and advanced money and goods according to the furnace proprietor's necd. If one of these small furnaces turned out f 10,000 worth of metal in a month the proprietor probably needed S 7,000 of that amount in goods, which he sold to his opera tive!. The factor was a man of means, or credit, and in the then state of trade and manufactures was a necessity, and he was well paid for his work. The writer cannot recollect the extra commission paid to the firm that sold for 30 furnaces, but it amounted in round numbers to $300,000 a year. The benefits of the system were mutuak These little furnaces were scattered about wherever limestone, ore and fuel could be gotten in proximity, and many beautiful slopes along the Allegheny Mount ain chain were denuded of their timber and left howling wastes of scrub second-growth under which rattlesnakes hiss and vermin of all kind flourish, subsisting on the game and keeping it scarce. Some of these furnaces were supplied with coal, but not many of them. The Era of Combination. AVhen the era of combination arrived and a pair of big monster furnaces would put out as much pig in a day as all the 30 small ones noted combined, the latter could no longer compete, and in a short time the combinations found that they could sell their own stock and guarantee payment themselves much cheaper than the commis sion man had been doing it for his custom ers and he became a superfluity. Middle-a;ed people can recollect when the wholesale drygoods business was a big one in this city. These jobbers distributed the goods for the factories just as the com mission pig iron broker did furnace prod ucts. In process of time the factor inter ests became so large that their owners com muned thus one to another: ""Why should we pay these jobbers 5 to 20 per cent to sell our goods?" Soon they hunted out the cross-roads dealer who with the blacksmith and postmaster gave tone to the township, and supplied him direct. They could easily seduce his allegiance from the jobber by dividing the profits ot the latter with hm until the jobber was forced out of business. Even the blacksmith now often buvs direct from the office of the mill that makes his iron. A few jobbers can yet subsist in the drygoods line, because they have immense capital and deal in expens ive goods, which being luxuries, the making of which cannot so readily be controlled by trusts as can the manufacture of necessaries. In turn these millionaire drygoods jobbers freeze out small jobbers in notions, for, as stated by Joi-eph Home years ago during the depres sion preceding 1879, hard times are benefi cial to larce cealers in notions aud fine goods. It takes so much money to keep up a stock that in times of slow sales small capitalists cannot keep up their exhibit. Cheaper to the Consumer. The trust has done its perfect work in the extineuishment, not only of middlemen, but of small capitalists as welL It is not necessary to recount what the Standard Oil Company has done further than to remark that by combination and the cxtinguish mci t of competition it can make ?2 a barrel profit out ot crude petroleum, and vet fur nish illumination cheaper than ever was imagined even in dreams. If trusts hae not cheapened all articles of consumption to the consumer thev have at last greatlv decreased the cost of production and distribution, but the plan has not always brought grist to transporta tion companies. Take the White Lead Trust, for instance. Until recently -white lead wasm' le at many points in the United States, aud a St. Louis manufacturer, through an agency, -would sell part of his product in Pittsburg, and a l'ittburg manufacturer would sella part of his in St. Louis, some buyers in each city having a quarrel with, or a prejudice against the home manufacturer. Each manufacturer would push sales in the territory of others, and w' ,e the work made a living for a hosf of middlemen, the competition cut sharply into profits. Under the present trust's arrangement this carriage is saved and the middleman's occupation is gone. Each manufacturer is supplied with the labels of the rest, and if a St. Louis buyer sends to this city to a man ufacturer for white lead all he'has to do is to send to a manufacturer in St Louis the order and the St. Louis product is labeled as that of Pittsburg and delivered, and, as ignorance is bliss, the St. Louis buyer is happy, thinking he has cut the nose off a man he does not like. The manufacturers divide the profit saved from carnage and the middleman. hota Cotton 51111 Lett. It is so in almost all departments. There is not a single cotton mill left in Pittsburg, jile at one time the manufacture of cotton ioth was a considerable industry here. In stead of raw cotton being shipped a thousand miles to be spun and woven, the mills are being removed to the vicinity of the cotton plantations aud only the manu factured product pays cost of carriage. The same holds in the clothing and shoe trades. Large manufacturers get a profit out of clothing made on a large scale and sold at 30 per cent less than a tailor could sell it and live, and the large companies have artists that can fit anything in anthro pological shape. Shoes are now turned out of large factories at a cost for the same quality of 50 per cent of what n shoemaker working by hand could produce them, and made in such shapes, lengths and widths as to accommo date all except those who have corns on out of the way places on their feet. The conse quence is that, were it not that there still exist a few people who must have footgear madeto order, though they pay five prices for it, all shoemakers would be driven to other employment or starve. As it is, vou can count on vour fingers and toes all that are left in this city. Some are making a living by cobbling.but even that branch of the art is being rapidly monopo lized by a division of the labor that enables tou to get your shoes half-soled, heeled and patched in" the same time that your barber would require to shave you and comb your hair. Readjustment seems to be constantly necessary, but, after all there is compensa tion. Salt, once Si a barrel in this city pow sells for a SI. Oil for illumination tails at 8 cents a gallon, and in 1858 it L for SI 25. Bent is high and most kinds lood, to the poor, who buy in small I quantity, are almost as dear as it ever was, but most of it passes through six sets of hands and each set must have a piofit LAST CHANCE FOR PEACE. The Street Car Committee Unrecognized by Superintendent Barns District Master Workman Dempsey "Will Try 'Big Luck luother Man Is Discharged Yesterday. Another Second avenue street railway employe was relieved from duty yester day. This makes the number nine, and all of them are union men. At a meeting of the Executive Board of the Knights of Labor last night District Mas ter Workman Dempsey was instructed to call ou Superintendent -Burn and try to amicably arrange matters. If he is unsuc cessful a strike seems to be inevitable. A gentleman ni speaking of the situation said: "The matter has come to the point where it will have to be settled one way or the other soon. The committee appointed bv the Second Avenue Assembly of the Knights of Labor waited on Superintendent Burns yesterday afternoon, but that gentleman refused a conference. To-night the assembly will hold a meeting and dis cuss the situation. It is hard to say what they will do. "It is evident that the company are against the union men. This morning the man who was discharged to-night was called into the office and questioned as to whether he was a. member of the Knights of Labor. I also noticed to-day that every car on the road was being manned by new men,jmdthat they were al 1 non-unionists. " An Accident to Ida Mnlle. In the fourth act of "Sinbad," at the Duquesne Theater, on Monday night, the audience noticed tears glistening in the eyes of Ida Mulle, the pretty little favorite who plays Ximulta. The audience was un conscious of the little woman's sufferings, however. At the end of the third act, after the curtain fell, the little actress fell into one of the numerous traps in the production of the spectacle. In falling she cut two ugly gashes in her limb, but notwithstanding her injuries she at tempted to work to the finish of the per formance. After the fourth act she was taken to her hotel, where her wounds were dressed, and where she is still confined to her bed. The Scale Tabled Till May. The plasters held a meeting last night to consider the making out of their scale for 1S92. It was decided to lay the matter over until next May. The annual elections were held also. Xearly an entire new set of officers were-electei The probability of the scale being arranged brought out a big crowd, andthe election was exciting. Industrial Notes.

Notwithstanding the extremely bad weather it was well attended, and those present were well repaid. There are at present 14 little ones in the home, and nearly every one of them took part in the exercises, which were most interesting.

Maggie Judy, a 17-year-old McKeesport girl, was taken from Ko. 20 Third avenue by Detective McLaughlin yesterday. This is the, third time the girl has been rescued from houses of that character, though she has been well raised, has an excellent home and has been indulged to the limit of her well-to-do parents' ability. Her father holds a responsible position in the National Tube Works at McKeesport. The girl ran 'awny from home about a year ago. In spector McAleese found her a few days later in a dive on Third avenue. She became repentant and promised good behavior in the future, but was sent to the Home of the Good Shepherd at Colum bus. Her conduct there was so goodthat a few months ago she was taken home. Until recently her deportment has been good enough,' and her father was so well pleased that he purchased her a fine piano and other luxuries to encourage her appar ent reform. But about a week ago she disappeared again. Superintendent Weir was notifie.l. On Christmas the eirl was found at "No. 20 Third avenue. She was taken to Central station and after promising faithfully to conduct herself properly was returned home. She only remained a day or two. Yesterday morning Mrs. Judy called on Superintendent Weir again. She said her daughter had come to Pittsburg. Detective McLaughlin was sent for her and found her on Third avenue, as stated. The girl "was obstinate and sulky this time and refused to speak to her mother when brought before her. At Superintend ent Weir's suggestion she was taken last evening to the Home of the Friendless on Troy Hill where she will remain tem porarily. Later she will be placed either in the Columbus institution or the reform school. The only excuse ottered by the girl for her conduct is that her parents objected to the character of her male com panions. An Elcht-Year-Old Boy Abandoned. Samuel Gries, an 8-year-old Hebrew orphan, was abandoned in this city yester day by A. Kubenstine, a grown cousin, who took the lad from his home in New York with the understanding that he would take him to Chicago. The boy had given Kuben stine all his money. When the train reached Union station thejr got off and Bubenstine left his charge in the station, but failed to return. The boy waited sev eral hours before the police became inter ested. When he told his story Superin tendent Weir was notified. Mrs.Gusky was asked to place the little fellow in the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, which will be done to-day. In the meantime the police are after Bubenstine. Sale To-Day Sale To-Day. Wash cotton goods And flannels At i and less than usual prices. JOS. HORNE & CO.'S Penn Avenue Stores. MEETINGS AND NOTICES.
