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. Yesterday's
list follows:

COMING COUNCILMEN.
The Fate of Many Candidates to Be
Decided Next Tuesday.
SEVERAL HAVE. NO OPPOSITION,
TThile in Other Wards the struggle Is More
Than Lively.
INDICATIONS AS TO THE EBSULTS
Tbe councilmanic election in Pittsburg
next Tuesday promises to be one of the
livelicsj municipal contests held in Pitts
burg in many years. In several of the
wards the fight has already reached a Presi
dental heat, and the professional politicians
and party workers are wrestling with each
other ia a catch-as-catch can struggle.
The citizens and taxpayers are working
vigorously in many sections, but their; pro
tests have aroused the administration fol
lowers. 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.
A review of the entire field up to date is
not without interest. In the First ward
Peter Donohue and Thomas McCue, Demo
crats, are the candidates for Select and
Common Council without opposition. In
the Second ward James "W. Piatt has
no opposition for Common Council,
and . in the Third ward John Groet
ziuger, th'e . candidate for Common
Counoil, is also without opposition.
John King, for Common Council in the
Fourth ward, has no opposition. In the
Fifth ward a lively fight is on. The candi
dates for CommonCouncilare John Hines,
Peter Horantz and John Oiltenan. The ef
fort is being made to defeat Giltenan. He
has been indorsed by the administration,
and is personally strong, but the followers
of both the other candidates have united
against him.
The fight in the Sixth ward is also de
cidedly lively, and there are many peculiar
comDinations. The regular .Republicans
and some Democrats have combined in sup
port of Philip Fltnn for Select Council.
He is being opposed by James McGinnis, a
Democrat, and J. M. Jfalone, the Citizen's
candidate. It is claimed that Malone can
carry the ward. The candidates for com
mon Council in the Sixth ward are David
Larkin and John Dunn, Democrats, John
Finnerty and Painter Flinn, Citizens, and
James Rowly and H. Bishop, Republicans.
The indications are that the Democrats will
be successful.
Some Knnning IV i thou t Opposition.
In the Seventh ward George S. "Wilson
for Select and Harry Lowrey for Common
Council have no opposition. In the Eighth
wanl there is no fight for Councils. John
S. Lambie is the candidate for Select, A. J.
Pitcairn and John Geisner are the candi
dates for Common Council. Mr. Pitcairn
has represented his ward in Council for sev
eral years, and is decidedly poDular.
There are four candidates for Alderman,
with John B. "White leading in the race.
In the Ninth ward J. J. Sfagnire has no
opposition for Common Council. In the
Tenth ward Charles Deegan and "William
Kellv, both. Democrats, are the candidates
for Common Council. Deegan seems to be
leading in the fight. H. P. Ford is unop
posen ior oeiecr uouncit in me .cievenm
ward. Thomas McClure and "William Bos
camp have no opposition for Common Coun
cil. In the Twelfth ward Thomas Perry
has no opposition for Select Council, while
Henry Heighmaier and Robert "Wharton
have no opposition for Common Council.
Bobcrt Chalmers, Sr., has withdrawn
from the contest in the Thirteenth ward,
leaving W. B. McEldowney and Emil
Spahr the candidates for Common Council.
Spahr is making a vigorous fight, but Mc
Eldowney seems to have the best of the
battle.
In the Fourteenth ward "W. A. Magee,
L. T. Brown and Smith Shannon are the
Bepublioan candidates, with three to elect
Commodore, John Bodgers has been nom
inated for Common Council in that ward.
He has been indorsed by the citizens. In
the Fifteenth ward the fight is straight
away between David Cronford, Republi
can, and John "Wainwright, Demo
crat. The ward is Republican.
The Hottest Fight in the City.
The hottest fight in the city is that in the
Sixteenth ward, now represented in Com
mon Council by J. C. O'DonnelL Mr.
O'Donnell is a Democrat, but his opponents
are fighting him on the alleged ground that
his efforts to reform the" affairs of the whole
city has prevented him from getting any
thing for his own ward, and a proposed new
bridge td cross theTailroad from the ward
into Schenley Park, which would put the
residents of the ward within ten minutes'
walk of the park, has become a factor in the
contest. The ward is close politically, and
Mi. uwodmus euorts to secure
an Auditing Committee and to bring
about other reforms have developed strong
opposition to him, while it has also de
veloped some strength for him. Robert
Warner and Henry Meyer are the Repub
lican candidates. Henry Epping and J.
O'Donnell are the Democratic candidates.

THREATEN A BOYCOTT.
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.
