i
Feelinjr of the Amalgamated Association
Toward a Seduction.
LITE XEffS FEOXI TOE IAB0E ffOBLD
The Amalgamated Association convention
convened at 9 o'clock yesterday, but the
majority of the delegates did not put in an
appearance until an hour later.
The feature of the morning n-as the read
ing of President "Weihe's annual report.
The nport was very long and tedious and
some of the delegates left while the Presi
dent was reading it During the reading
the President referred to the death
of the late Treasurer John Penny.
His voice faltered, and completely
overcome by emotion he had to sit
down. Vice President "W". A. Carney
came to the rescue and to relieve the ten
sion of affairs invited all the delegates to
the association picnic on Saturday at Rock
Point The invitation was accepted and
the delegates will assemble at the hall at
8 o'clock and proceed to the depot, led by
the Cornet Band. This concluded the
mornins: session and a recess was taken
until 1 o'clock.
During the afternoon the "Wage Commit
tee made their report, more routine busi
ness was put through and President "Weihe
nnished reading his report The conven
tion is now ready for business, and it is
expected that some action will be taken
on the Homestead scale to-day.
Employers Will AbIj a Redaction.
There is at the present time a gravity in
the condition of the affairs of the iron man
ufacturers and their employes, which, it is
to be hoped, will be promptly eradicated by
wise counsels on both sides. It is a matter
of fact that it is the intention of the em
ployers to ask for a redaction in wages,
ranging from 20 to SO per cent, as has al
ready been stated exclusively in The Dis
patch. It is also time thatthe Pittsburg
manufacturers desire to transfer the seat ot
war from this city to the Sixth district the
ilahoning and Shcnango Valleys.
Out of this has grown a serious state of
things. It has been intimated that it is de
nized that the conference between the com
mittees of the employers and employed
should be transferred to tne Sixth districr,
tay, to Youncstonn or Xew Castle, there to
hold all meetings and settle all differences.
This is a radical departure from the time
honored custom of holding these meetings
in Pittsbura
Eight at this point conies the startling
statement that a number of the members of
the Amalcamated Association, and among
them Eeveral of the usually conservative
leaders, have gone so far as to'declare them
selves utterly opposed to asking for the
usual conference with the manufacturers.
They say that the propositiou of their em
ployers is so sweeping,andthe reduction de
manded so great, that they have lost all
patience, and ill trv to carry things to a
tuuciusiuu in meir own war.
Views or ome Conservative Employes.
Some of the leaders have said that it
would be wise to pursue the policy tiied in
1885, when the association agreedto a gen
eral reduction of 10 per cent without com
plaint, owin? to the condition of trade
Later, in 1837, when business revived, this
percentage was asked for bv the men and
was given to them. Thee who now seek a
peaceful solution of the difficultv say that
the men are aware that the trade is" much
depressed and that prices are very low,
but they also say that it is ridiculous to
claim that things are so bad as to justify
"0 to 50 per cent of a cat
For some years past there has been crow
ing up anew the old ill will between the
puddlers and laborers and the men engaged
in the finishing departments. Then, too,
there has been more or less feeling between
those who worked in the iron and those
engaged in the steel mills. To-day all
thee disentions have disappeared and
there is an amount of harmony and apparent
determination to stick together lor all
common purposes, such as has not been
seen in the Amalgamated Association and
the Knights of Labor for many years.
Some ot them sav they have looked for an
attempt to destroy the association for some
years and mat the ht has now come.
TSittrr Feeling Among the Workmen.
2ever since the large strike of 18S2 has
there been the deep, bitter feeling among
all classes ot workers in iron mills as
obtains just now. There are several of
me leaders wno nave already sought the
opinions of the older, more experienced and
influential of the delegatej to the conven
tion on the question ot arraneing a scale
which would meet the situation say by a
general reduction of 10 per cent or some
such figure and submit it to the manu
facturers as an ultimatum. Those who urge
this policy say such a course would take the
wind out of the manufacturers' sails, and
obtain the sympathy of the public.
The iron manufacturers of the Sixth dis
trict are admittedly more active and co
liesne m a struggle agp.inst their men than
those of the Pittsburg district They stand
or fall together, and show more spirit than
1'ittsburgers do. At the same time they
hive little sympathy with the Pittsburg
district, for they say that in the past Pitts
burg has several times left them in the
lurch. They have a separate organization,
and are in no way disposed to pull the
Pittsburg orders out of the general fire. On
the other hand it is understood that the
Pittsburg firms say they must Ime the re
ductions indicated, and they believe it
wisest to transfer all the preliminary
struggle to their friends, the enemy.

' XewToik Journal.
"To distinguish a delicate flavor and the
finer qualities or an article requires good
taste. People of gross instincts can appre
ciate a penny cigar quite as well as the high
est priced one. Some men who take whisky
will be Just as well satisfied with the cheap
est quality as with the purest and finest
flavor. This has been noticeable in the
clubs of New Tork or late. Men whose
tastes have been refined by years of good
living are demanding the purest and best
flavored articles they can find, and it is
noticeable that theO. F. C brand of whisky
is growing very popular and belnjr generally
used. We do not know what the 'special
qnalities of this whisky are, except that it is
more than ten years old, but it is claimed
that the superior flavor in addition to its
purity is what is causing it to be so greatly
adopted by connoisseurs."
