PITTBBURQ- DISPATCH. FEBRUARY LUST 0M LIST, Tlie Number of Liquor Appli cations Just 153 less Than Last Year. A NOTICEABLE DECREASE In thfi Cities, the Township Taverns Being Well to the Front, iS A RESULT OF THE $1,000 FEE. 'ames and Locations Given in the Papers Filed Testerdaj. ALL KEABT FOE THE LICENSE COURT "When the Clerk of Courts' office closed at 8:30 o'clock last night there had been filed 1,775 applications for privilege to brew, distill, bottle and sell the various brands and mixtures of firewater in Allegheny county for the coming license year. This is 153 less than were filed last February. The ficures have not been fully analyzed yet, but it is safe to say that the decrease is in the cities, where the 1,000 license fee is required. There seems to be an increase in the retail applicants from the districts out aide the cities. When the License Court, on the third Monday of March, begins hearing license applicants it will have to consider 1,475 re tail applications, 229 wholesale, 43 bottleis, 25 brewers and3 distillers. Last year there were 1,501 retailers, 329 wholesalers, 63 bottlers, 32 brewers and 3 distillers. The fact that the Court this year will have the came discretionary power with regard to wholesale applicants as they have had with retailers no doubt accounts for the drop of 100 in the number of wholesale applicants. Dealers Who Became Reckless. The same reason is given for the decrease of 20 among those applying for bottling license. It is said that a number who en joved either wholesale or bottling license this year have been flagrantlv violating the new "wholesale law ever since its passage, becaue they knew it cut tLem out of secur ing another license. The decrease in the number of retail ap plicants is only 26, but as stated before, tlwre is a slight increase outside the cities and the decrease is altogether in the cities. The drop of seven in thennmber of brewery applications is partiallv accounted for by the fact that last year Robert Liddell and the William Tann Brewing Company's business was in an unsettled state, and in order to provide lor any condition that might arie they had lour applications. Neither Richard Gangwisch, the Allegheny brewer, nor the Veser brewery at Chartiers are applicants this year. An attorney, in looking over a number of the applications filed yesterday said that it the Court is inclined to be critical this year a good many of the petitions for license will be thrown out because of the careless man ner in which the papers have been drawn tip by the attorneys. As an instance he picked upthepetition of Nicholas Klinkler, of 117 Southern avenue. Mr. Klinkler wants a retail license, bat his application is made out on a wholesale blank, which differs from the retail form. Other defects equally serious were noted. A lVarcl With One Applicant. The only application filed for the Twenty second ward is from Edward Moran, who wants to do business at 33 JJorvrard avenue. There has not been a saloon in the Twenty second ward under the Brooks law. A man named Joyce has applied regularly until this year, but through remonstrances by Mis. Ellen Watson and others the license wa refused. The Morgan House, at Taylor and Irwin avenues, Allegheny, which was managed by Gileon Lightcap prior to his death last week, has tn o applicants. Joseph Carson and James Donahue each filled separate petitions for the house. The only parallel tor this case was that of K. L. Murphy, of the Hotel Albion, whose application for license was duplicated, except the name, by his wife. The petition of Jos. Keating, proprietor of Kcating's Eoadhouse, on the Perrysville road, w as among the last filed. He had been in on Friday, but had superstitious notions about doing anything so important on Fri day and decided to wait until yesterday. When he discovered that vesterday was the 13th day of the month he nearly fainted. He had about decided yesterday to wait until to-morrow and take chances on the 21 day limit prescribed by law, but last night overcame his superstitious fear and drove into town with his petition, arriving just in time to avoid being too late.

The citizens and taxpayers are in dead earnest, but they are without an or ganization. They have no well defined plans for their campaign, and they have no recognized leaders, and their following will be, after Tuesday at least, an unknown quantity. Those most interested in the cit izens' movement are confident that in sev eral wards they will elect their council manic candidates. The whole city is being carefully and thoroughly canvassed by the administration forces, who are confident that they will win in every ward. In theDown-Town District.

The American Federation of Labor Has a Number of Grievances AGAINST THE COLUMBIAN PAIB. Action on the Semi-Monthly Pay Lair and the Printers' Snit FEATURES OF INDUSTRIAL INTEREST The American Federation of Labor has s1 grievance against ihe World's Fair manage ment and if it is not settled that organiza tion declares it will boycott the exhibition. Yesterday Vice President William A. Carney, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, returned from New York, where he .had been attending ai meet ing of the Executive Council of the Federa tion. He said some important matters were acted upon, among which was the discrim ination now being shown by theWtirld'sFair manaeement against labor unions. President Kliver, of the Brotherhood of Carpenters, sent the following explanatory letter to the council for action: 'The construction department of the World's Fair has an employment office and agent on the grounds,.and no man can get work unless he is employed by this agent The groan's are fenced in, and no one can get in to look for employment Carpenters' wages are 35 cents an hour, as paid by the Chicago contractors, but we have often heard'the policeman at the employment agent's gate crying out for carpenters at 50 cents per hour, presumably to go to work for outside contractors who have contracts on the ground. t Labor Representatives Ea.-red Out. "A representative of any labor union cannot get a pass admitting him to any of the buildings. If by any means he gets on the buildings he is at once put off by the police, as they have a number on each building. In one case onr representatives have been abused by drunken policemtm. There is an agreement that all work shall be done on the eieht-hour plan, and this is being violated right along. 'There are about 200 policemen on the grounds, and a union man cannot go inside the tence unless his every step is aoggea Dy the police, as has been proven. A notori ous character, Nordrum, who has been dis charged in disgrace by the Mayor of Chi cago from the detective force, is their chief of police. "The management maintains a hotel on the grounds with over 400 bunks on one floor. The men are charged ?4 per week for board, and the sum is kept out of their waires. McArthur Bros, compel their men to sleep in canvas tents in all kinds of weather. A man cannot get a job as build ing inspector under Chief of Construction D. H. Burnham if he is a member of any trades union. He is also refused employ ment as a gatekeeper or watchman if he is a union man."' Action of the Organization. The Executive Council passed the follow ing resolution in complian.ee with President Kliver's request Kesolved. That President Gompers, of the American Federation or Labor, is instructed to write to the Chief of the Department of Constrnction of the World's Fair buildings and asks him to abate the evils complained of In the foregoing letter. In event these grievances are not ledressed at an early date President Gompers is empowered to call on all -wortinKmon's organizations af filiated with the American Federation of Labor to consider the advisability of with drawing their patronage from the coming Wot Id's Fair at Chicago. The council is also after the corporations and employers who violated the semi-monthly pavment law in Pennsylvania. R passed the following resolution bearing on the matter: Kesolved, That the Secretary of the Fed eration be instructed to correspond with affiliated unions in Pennsylvania and try to secure sufficient evidence' to prosecute a case regarding the law. If evidence can be secured against any railroad corporations, mininir or other companies, the Executive Council shall prosecute the case through the courts. A Violated Elght-Konr Law. The Council has suspicions that the Nebraska eight-hour law is being violated, and it accordingly acted as follows: Tho secretary' of the Federation Is hereby instructed to call on nil workingmen and trade organization1) of Nebraska to famish evidence, under affidavit, as to the viola tions ot the eight-hour law by employers. If such evidence is gatbeted the Executive Council will prosecute to a final decision. A sum of not more than $200,000 will be ap propriated for that purpose. The Pittsburg printers' injunction case was acted upon, and it was decided to carry it to the State Supreme Court, and further if necessary. Mr. Carney said the Council would meet again in six weeks and decide which trade, if any, of the Federation would strike for an eight-hour work day on May L The Johnstown Railroad Tards Enlarged. The Pennsylvania Railroad hag prepared plans for cutting down tbe bluff at Cone maugh, near Johnstown, and extending their yards from Conemaugh to Johnstown, a distance of two miles. The- lay-over at Blairsville will be abandoned and all trains will run through to this place. When-completed, these yards will be the most exten sive along the road. The Organization Growing. The Pittsburg " branch of the Amalga mated Carpenters at its meeting last night took in six new members and received propositions from 11 more. Next week an other branch will be organized on the South side, and as soon as the charter arrives one will be instituted in East Liberty. Manager Fnlton Resigns. John Fulton yesterday tendered his resignation as General Manager of the Cambria Iron Company, at Johnstown, and will resume his old position of mining engineer. He is succeeded by Charles H. Price, his assistant, who is a nephew of President Townsend. The Last of the Season Of the delightful excursions to Washington, D.
