THE 'PITTSBURG . DISPATCH, . JUIDAT, NOVEMBER 4, 189a
such registration or election or canvass of
votes mavuo had."
The Statutes Clear and Explicit.
The statutes are so clear and explicit that
I really cannot see any room for discussion.
I do not believe that any attempt will be
made to violate this lav or carry out the
revolutionary and .dangerous policy an
nounced in the dispatches rofened to. If
such action is attempted, of course trouble
trill come, as the same Ian- prescribes penal
ties against any deputy who fails to do his
duty. Such a result all good citizens. Irre
spective of party, would deplore, and the
consequences would fall upon those whose
rash course led to such unwarranted re
sistance to the power of xha Federal Qov
urnment. a po er which the Supreme Court
ot the United States has declared paramount
when a member of Congress or Prestaental
elector is to be voted for, to any State law
or authority upon this subject.
I will add that this is not a partisan ques
tion, and they are not good citizens in my
opinion who seek to make it one. No party
can jntly hope to deserve or win success
bj defiance or violations of the law of the
land. However that may bo, our duty is
plain. The laws must be enforced. The
marshals are warned under the penalties of
law asrainst any interference with the rights
of citizens, and at the same time they v, ill
guard and protect such rights at whatever
cost.
"What Mr. Miller Has to Say.
A telegram from Indianapolis says: The
attention of Attorney General Miller was
called this morning to the circular sent out
from Democratic National headquarters in
Xew York, nrcinc resistance to the use of
room by United States marshals within 150
feet of the polls, and he was asked what
would be the action oi the Federal authori
ties. Mr. Miller was inclined to be re
ticent. He said the matter was one that
Mas in the hands ot the Act
ing Attorney General at "Washington.
He did not" think the Democrats really
meant to advise armed resistance to the
United States authorities, but was inclined
to regard the circular as being simply in
line with the campaign literature that is
always sent out for effect at this stage ot a
great campaign. Mr. Miller thought that
there would be no Federal marshals except
where they were needed and where they
had been regularly applied for and ap
pointed, and he was convinced that where
they were properly authorized Democrats
and Republicans would respect alike their
authority.

A United States Marshal in New York In
structs Ills Deputies to Go Anywhere
About the Foils They Like They Are
Told They Can't Be Arrested.
Elmira, X. Y., Xov. 3. In reply to the
circular issued by William F. Sheehan, of
the Democratic Executive Committee, re
garding the right and duties of deputy
United States marshals at the polls on elec
tion day, the following letter of definite in
structions has been issued by United States
Marshal Archie E. Baxter, of this city. Al
though directed especially to deputies of
the Xorthern district of New York, the
marshal declares it to be equally applicable
everywhere:
William F. Sheehan, Chairman of tho
Democratic State Campaign Committee, has
issued a circular in which be assumes to
state the rights and duties of special doputy
marshals. Ashis circular is calculated to
mislead you in the discharge of your duties,
and as its statements arc contrary to the
cleaily-deflnod provisions of tho Federal
Matutes, it seems advisiulo for me to add
to the instructions already given to you.
In the second paragraph of Mr. Sheoiran's
circular lie says: "United States marshals
liao no more rig litr than any other voter to
be mthin the guard rail of the polling
place, but must stand outside along with
other persons. ' In support of this state-n-ent
he cites Brewer, J., United States
Supieme Court 22, Fed. Hep , p. 15&
Quito a Difference owadajs.
I desire to call your attention to the fact
that the case cited by Mr. Sheehan as an
authority is clearly not in point. That was
acaenheie there were no United States
supervisors ot election at the polling place,
aud the opinion cited was merely oral dicta
of one or the Judges applying to that situa
tion, and has no bearing in a case where
tlreie aie United States supervisors to bo
supported in discharge of their duties by
special deputy marshals.
By section 2JI9, United States Revised
Statutes, it is made the duty of United
Mates Supervisors of Election "to take, oc
cupy and remain in such position, from time
to time, n hether before or behind the ballot
boxes, as will, in their Judgment, best ena
ble them to see each person offering himself
lonegistration or offering to vote," etc. In
section 2022, United States Revised Statutes,
it is made the duty or "the marshal, his gen
oral deputies and special deputy marshals,
to keep the peace, aud support and piotect
the supervisors oi election in the discharge
of their duties," etc
It being one of the duties of a United
states deputv marshal to support and pro
tect a United States supervisor in the dis
charge ofhis Cut ice, it cleaily follows that
the deputy marshal may occupy any posi
tion in or about the polling place that the
supervisor may occupy, whether before or
behind the ballot boxes, oi whether within
or out trie guard-rail.
Guard Kails Can't Bar marshals.
The maisbal and his deputies in their dis
cretion may pass freely within the guard
rail and station themselves wherever he
deems the perlormance of his duties re
quires. Pait of that duty is to see that
the State statute is complied with that se
em cs to the voter privacy within the booth
n Irile preparing his ballot, and which pro
hibits offering or giving a paster to a voter
within the guard-rail. It is the duty of a
marshal to enfoico all of the provisions
vi me suiiu raw not in connict
ith tire Federal law, as to what shall be
done and w hat shall not be done within the
guard rail. In the performance of such
duties it may be necessary lor a marshal to
le within the guardrail. In theexeicise of
Ins discretion he is the sole Judge of the
necessity and propriety of being within the
guard rail or elsewhere. Whenever he
deems it necessary to ocenpy a position
within the guard rail it is his lawiul right
to do so, and it is his duty to arrest any per
scn, no matter w hat his official position may
be, who interferes with that liht. (Section
5522 United states Uevised Statutes).
By the last cited section it is provided that
you are exempted trom arrest while in the
dlcha'ge of your duties by any officer or
authority whatever, with or without pro
cess, excepting alone the authority ot an
officer or court of the United states. Any
person, whether sheriff, deputy sheriff, po
lice officer or constable, so interfering with
j ou in the performance of jour duties, is
liable to an est and punishment by tho
United States couits, by imprisonment for
t o years, or by a fine o $J,000, or botu.
TOM EWING SCORES IT.
Be Says Such, a Construction as Aidrich's
lv"as Never Intended.
Tkenton, X J., Kov. a General
Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, to-night addressed
a mass meeting of 2,500 enthusiastic Demo
crats in Taylor Opera House. He Baid the
issues of the campaign were the tariff and
the force bill Referring to the latter, he
said that the Republican party, having
Jailed to subjugate the South by carpet
baggers and negroes, hit upon the ex
pedient in 1872 of reviving, for a new and
unintended purpose, the law giving the
Federal Government control of Congres
sional elections. It had never been the
idea of the founders of our Government that
the Federal authorities should interfere
with the legitimate powers of the State au
thorities. Such an interference would be
considered monstrous, and it is to-day a
monstrous invasion of local rights.
General Ewing referred to John L Daven
port as the genius ot evil, and he said that
Davenport recently declared that the Fed
eral election bill, of which the Bepublicans
ore now fighting shy, would undoubtedly
be passed lithe Bepublicans secure a major
ity in the next Congress. The speaker ex
plained the force bill in detail, and claimed
that, apart from its other iniquities, it
would cost tbe country over $18,000,000, at
a moderate estimate, to pay for snpervisors
and marshals at each election. He then
talked on the taritX
"The great hustle now is in getting the
ballots distributed," said County Commis
sioner Mercer yesterday. "We will get
them printed in time, but there is a vast
amount of work to be done in getting tbem
to the 427 voting districts in Allegheny
county. "We are doing this the best and
cheapest way we can. In most instances
contracts are being made with someone in
each township to distribute the tickets and
election papers for that township. The
first lot of ballots are sent out to-morrow
and the balance on Monday."
Up on the third floor of the Court House
a large room is being utilized as a mailing
and storage room for the ballots. Here a
number of men are at work getting the
voting material in shape. The floor has
been divided into eight spaces, representing
the eight Legislative districts. The space
is then divided again, giving a place to each
of the sub-districts. In this way the ballots
can be separated and gotten in shape to go
out Huge piles of paper are stacked
within the chalk lines ot each district and
hourly the piles are growing higher and
broader.
Looks Like a Fakir's Job Lot.
On a long table at one end of the room is
a collection oi stuff which reminds one very
much of a scene at a county fair. Nearly
everyone has seen the fakir who fills an en
velope to overflowing with nick-nacks and
sells it for 25 cents. Just now in this
mailing room a similar scene is being en
acted each day, only the things that are
going into the packages are all requisites to
a Baker ballot law election. Following the
gentleman, who presides at this table, this
is what you will see him put in
each package: One return sheet,
three triplicate return sheets, two
tally papers, two statements of voters, a
large piece of wrapping paper, two cards
for voting places, 25 affidavits of Nos. 1, 2,
3 and 4, four blotters, oaths of election
officers, pay sheet, election law, instruc
tions as to how to seal box, six manilla
envelopes, one voters' check list, one ballot
check list, letter ot instructions from
County Commissioners, five pen holders,
eight lead pencils, sealing wax, one screw
driver, paper ot tucks, paper of screws,
bunch of twine, pens, keys for ballot box,
andas a very fitting finale the gentleman
gathers np a piece of red tape. This
stuff is all sealed up and designated for
some one of the 427 districts. The three
triplicate return sheets and the two tally
papers are each 10 feet long, while many
ot the other numerous articles are of large
dimensions.
Sending Out Specimon Ballots.
Another thing which takes a great deal
of work is the sending out of the specimen
ballots The law requires that four of these
must be sent to each judge of elections fonr
days before the election. These are coming
in slowly from the printers and there is
some fear that there may be a delay. They
have to be mailed and registered. The
mailing of these cost 18 cents apiece. The
commissioners also have to mail 3,843 oaths
for watchmen, who are appointed by the
different political parties.
The ballot boxes have been tested as to
their capacity and it is found that they will
hold 800 votes, when 'put in through the
slot. This is thought large enough to hold
the vote of any district There is one re
quirement by the law relative to this that
cannot be carried out. It says that all un
used tickets must be put back into the box.
The Commissioners hare not been able to
figure this out yet as about one-half of the
bailots will not be used. This will leave a
package a great deal larger than the box.
The Commissioners are unable to say how
long it will take to count the votes. They
expect to get results sooner than the people
are figuring on.
Scratched Tickets "Will Cause Trouble.
"The only trouble the election boards
will have in counting," said Mr. Mercer,
"will be in deciding on the ballots which
are marked wrong. If the people vote
straight tickets there will not be any trouble .
in making the count It is not clearly de
cided yet what is to be done with votes that
are wrongly cast This will be left to the
election hoards, and they may throw
them all out There are a great number of
people who have wrong ideas about split
ting a ticket, and it is from them we ex
pect the trouble next Tuesday. We have
written to each of the election boards and
asked them to watch closely the workings
ot this election, pick out the defects and
be ready to furnish us with any .fact
needed in making the amendments to the
law in the next Legislature.
"We are having a little trouble yet in
securing polling places. The law says we
are to get them, and when persons in any
district refuse to let ns have the plsoes we
look around for another, even if it is not so
convenient With but a few exceptions all
these hare been secured with little more
expense than before."
Late last night the printing of the ballots
was completed. To-day they will be bound,
pasted and sealed, and to-night all of the
tickets will be turned over to the County
Commissioners.
. BETTING ON THE RESULT.
Comparatively Little' Money Has Been
Staked, and Many of the Reports of
Cash Beady Are Found to Be Ground
less. '-
Comparatively few bets hare been made
in Pittsburg on the result of the Peridental
campaign. A week before the national
election four years ago nearly $100,000 bad
been wagered in Pittsburg on the result
The bulk of the bets then were laid at even
money, but a few of them were placed at
odds in favor of Harrison. All the bets
made on the eve. of the election then were
in Harrison's favor.
But few bets at odds have been made in
this city on the present fight At every
turn reports are heard of Harrison money
or Cleveland money being deposited await
ing takers, but much of it is election bluff
on both, sides. A careful investigation
among the betting men yesterday devel
oped the fact that up to da'te less than $10,
000 had been staked on the general resnlt
There is, however, a goodly sum of Harri
son monev distributed about amone the
popular resorts waiting for takers. Three
Sharpsburg business men called at The
Dispatch office last night and asked to
leave $1,500 to be placed even on Harrison.
-Lne money was not accepted.
Over 55,000 had been left at three down
town saloons yesterday to be bet that Cleve
land will carry either New York or In
diana, either of he two States to be named
by the party taking the bets, but the money
found no takers. In several other saloons
bets ranging from $100 to $1,000 had been
made, but last night only the Harrison men
seemed to be out In every saloon Har
rison money was offered in sums to suit the
taker, but no bets were recorded.
One saloon man said yesterday that he
had already placed $3,000 on Cleveland.
He also said that he had been offered many
other bets, but he bad no disposition to
take any more of them.
On th'e Grain and Flour Exchange Presi
dent G. W. C. Johnson wagered a small
sum ot money on Mr. Cleveland's election,
and several small bets were made on the
outcome in New York State. 8. B. Patter
son offered to b-it $5 that New York would
go Democratic, $5 each that New Jersey,
Connecticut and Indiana would also be
won by Grover, and $5 that the Democratic
candidate would be elected. . The offer was
quickly taken by Mr. Dunseatn.
On the Stock Exchange Republican
money was abundant and Democratio
change scarce. W. L Mustin had a com
mission to place $500 at evens on Harrison
or at the odds of $75 to $100 on New York
going Republican. Neither offer was ac
cepted and no Democratic propositions
came to tne suriace.
There are some big odds at stake out
Penn avenue on the resnlt of the coming
Presidental election.
The following gentlemen have bet on the
final results in favor ot Harrison's election:
William Downing, ex-policeman, $150,
taken by Thomas Callahan, the Fifth ave
nue tailor; James McKee, of Fnlton street,
$200, taken also by Mr. Callahan; Sergeant
Charles Stix, of the Twelfth ward police
station, $300, taken by John McCabe, the
liveryman; John Armstrong, $200, taken
by Alderman Donovan.
The following gentlemen have bet on
Cleveland's election: David Flinn. $500 to
MOO, talcen by Oflicer Brady Thompson;
also $50 on the result of the election in
New York State, taken by J. H. Arm
strong, the real estate agent: Alderman
Burns, of the Ninth ward, says he has $750
Cleveland money waiting for a backer.
John Kiner has "bet $250 on Cleveland,
which has been taken by different parties.
John Hunter yesterday bet $100 and
Thomas Callahan $150 that New York State
will go Democratic, which was taken by
Paddy Dean.
A QUEEN OF FLOWERS.
Vivid Splendors of the Royal Court
of the Chrysanthemum.
THE PHIPPS CONSERVATORY SHOW
To Be Opened in a Few Days for the An
nual Public Inspection.
TU.B NEW SPECIMENS TO BP. EXHIBITED
The queen of autumn flowers, the stately
chrysanthemum, "as the sentimental love
to style it, is preparing to open her court
with great pomp and circumstance at the
Phipps Conservatory, in Allegheny. Never
before in allhis experience as a chrysanthe-.
mum grower has success smiled so warmly
upon Superintendent Hamilton as this
year. In the long, chilly house where the
flowers are slowly unfolding their gorgeous
beauties there are 45 seedling plants, which,
if their roaturer loveliness fulfills the prom
ise of their infancy, will contain many
reigning belles of chrysanthemumdom.
It is yet a week: until the flowers will be
considered ready for pnblic view. About
November 8 or 10 Superintendent Hamil
ton thinks the chrysanthemum department
may be thrown open to the public that al
ready anxiously flattens its nose against the
glass partition shutting it out from this
floral paradise. The chrysanthemnm ex
hibit is placed in the western conservatory
which is kept fairly cold. Many of the
plants are already in full bloom; others are
just bursting into bud. Those farthest ad
vanced occupy the central part of the
house, while along the walls are plants
which will be in their best in kab,out two
weeks.
A Dazzling Array of Color.
From the door the view over the tops of,
the plants presents a dazzling array of red,
gold, white and pink mingled in kaleidos-
one eood flower I mnst destroy all the buds
on the same stalk as they absorb so much
of the nutriment of the plant If I allowed
them to grow I might have several poor
flowers. I prefer one good flower at the cost
of the many."
The time" and labor necessary to chrysan
themum raising few people are aVare of.
.The labor of setting out, watering and cut
ting when occasion demands is bnt a small
part of what is required. If there were al
ways shown the same old-fashioned flowers
very few would care to visit the annual ex
hibitions of chrysanthemums that occur all
over the country. The demand for new
varieties has made the experiment of rais
ing them a profitable as well as popular-occupation
with flower fanciers.
The chrysanthemum is a native of Japan,
and is as plentiful there as daises in this
country. It remained to Americans, how-

copic confusion, AH the usual varieties of
chrvsanthemums are represented in great
perfection, but interest centers in the many
new and strange forms that are the result of
the annual experiments in producing new
varieties. The great sturdy pink boebmer
and the more fragile if more elegant yellow
gloriosum were chosen for crossing and the
result in snowy white, delicate pinks and
yellow, deep reds and oranges is enough to
startle even the fondly expectant dreams of
Superintendent Hamilton himself. The seed
bearing plant of the boehmer was imported
'from Japan two years ago and is of that
shade known as ashes of roses. The petals
are broad, very closely curling and covered
with a fine hair. The gloriosum, the flower
with which the boehmer was fertilized, is a
pale lemon; has long, slender, thinly scat
tered petals. The work of fertilization was
done entirely by hand, and to this Superin
tendent Hamilton attributes his wonderful
success, that usually being left entirely to
chance. The original seed pod contained 50
seeds, and from this number planted 45
plants have resulted.
Of course all are not prize plants. There
are dainty little single flowers, somewhat
resembling ox-eye daisies, whioh go Dack to
the original plant thousands of years aso:
such flowers as probably grew in the fields
ot Japan when Contucius adopted the
chrysanthemum to represent the great
truths of his philosophy.
Snow-Whlte and Gold.
Mr. Hamilton points out as his favorites
a group of plumy snow-white flowers with
a glint of gold in their hearts. They are 8
inches in diameter. Near the Superintend
ent's favorites is a rosy beauty that is a
worthy rival a delicate rose-pink shading
to deeper pink in the center. It is at least
6 inches in diameter, and somewhat re
sembles an orchid in appearance. The
petals are long and very much curled.
Widely different lrom all the surround
ing flowers is the warm flesh tinted chrys
anthemum that stands at the end of the
row and with two lone representatives of
its loveliness. They are 7 inches 'in
diameter, flat, with petals slightly curved.
Yellow is represented among the seedlings
with more or less generosity. The finest
specimen of that color is flat; but with an
outer edge very much be-frllled and ruffled.
It shows no center and is from 6 to 7 inches
in diameter.
A fairy mop of red and yellow in less en
lightened days would have led to the sup
position that" the elves had been trifling
with Mr. Hamilton's plants. A deep gold
on the upper side the flower has a most be
coming lining of crimson. The plants are
unusually fine for seedlings and the number
tbat has resulted for the year is 'something.
Mr. Hamilton says, unexampled in his
Knowledge oi chrysanthemum growing.
The Mrs. Henry Phipns variety, one of last
year's seedlings and which was awarded the
silver cup at last year's chrysanthemum
show, is larger and more perfect in form
and color. Another of last year's seedlings
particularly noticeable is the bright red
flower ot the Colorado, so named because of
its color. It is fully 8 inches in diameter.
A World's Pair Chrysanthemum.
Everywhere are representatives of the
famous George W. Ohilds chrysanthemum.
It is of dark crimson the best dark crim
son chrysanthemum known and was origi
nated by John Thorpe, in charge of flori
culture at the World's Fair. It looks
something like a fine dahlia, and is about
6 inches in diameter. There is every color
but blue, blue being a color impossible to
produce in a chrysanthemum.
While sauntering to and fro along the
aisles of plants every few minutes Mr.
Hamilton would stop to snip away with
scissors or fingers an offending' twig or bud.
The buds seemed to be the main sufferers
and when questioned as to the destruction
of these prospective flowers he replied:

head should blow off, and opened the gate.
The regular Murraysville gas sand is
found at a depth of about 1,300 feet, and
what makes the owners of the Cline farm
believe they have snch a good thing is the
fact that the prodncing sand in their well
was struck at a depth of 2,250 feet They
got 35 feet of sand and it all contained gas.
When in the neighborhood of 1,700 feet
they found a little oiL The formation of
the rock is claimed to be almost identical
with that of the fifth sand districts, and it
is from this sand that the Newlinsburg
Improvement Company thinks it gets the
gas. They struck the sand a week azo
to-day, aud drilled it throutrh the rock Yes
terday.
The well is located about a mile and a
half east of the Murraysville field proper,
and about three-quarters of a mile from the
wells which Duff Bros, drilled on the
Miller farm. One of the latter wells was
put down 2,700 leet, and an entirely differ
ent formation from that of the Cline well
was found, with not a sign of gas. On the
Duff farm, which joins the Miller on the
west, there are eight gas wells, and the
lightest rock pressure in any of them is
about 550 pounds. The Cline well is less
than a mile from Newlinsburg station, on
the Pennsylvania Bailroad, and about half
a mile from the twentieth mile post on the
old pike road, which starts from the Pitts
burg Market House.
The owners were trying to anchor the
well down yesterday, and it they succeeded
the limit to the rock pressure can soon be
ascertained.
Duff Bros., of Pittsburg, are the larg
est stockholders in the Newlinsburg
Improvement Company. They had not de
cided last evening when thev will start to
drill any more wells. Grapeville is about
nine miles southeast of the Cline welt-
Ten hundred and thirty-two people have
been killed on railroads in Allegheny
county since January 1, 1887, and a large
percentage of this number have met death
at grade crossings. Here are two regiments
of men who have lost their lives by steam
cars and monthly the number is growing.
According to Coroner McDowell, there are
two ways to cut down this awful onslaught
upon humanity. One is to compel the rail
road companies to pnt np gates at all the
crossings or to bridge the railroad tracks.
The Coroner has been working in this direc
tion ever since he has been in office and there
are a number of instances where his sugges
tions have been put into active use.
Both in his annual reports of '90 and '01
he called attention to the grade crossings.
Among the many who have met their death
in this manner are a number of notable
cases. In 1887 John Cnlp and Harriet K.
Weyman were killed at tne Federal street
crossing of the Pittsburg, Ft Wayne and
Chicago Bailroad. This case demonstrated
clearly that it was verv dangerous to have
railroad cars running on a level with the
streets of a city. A year later Thomas
Chidlow and Bichard Bay met death at
Boup station, on the Pennsylvania Bail
road. This case was aired thoroughly
by the Coroner, and the re
sult was the erection of the
overhead bridge at that point Not long
ago the sad deaths of Daniel Tolan and
John McDonough were chronicled. They
were killed at the Washington street cross
ing of thh Pittsburg, Ft Wayne and
Chicago Bailroad. One of the worst places
in the city is on the Southside. The Pitts
burg, Virginia and Charleston Bailroad
runs from Twelfth street to Thirty-second
street through Twenty-ninth, Twentv-
eighth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-sixth,
Twenty-fifth and Twenty-fourth wards
It is a common occurrence
to hear of a death along this place. The
Eighteenth street crossing is the most dan
gerous. It is there the thickly populated
districts of the hill find egress. For quite a
time the people along the line of this road
have been clamoring for some plan that
would make life more safe. The people in
that district think there ought to be an
overhead bridge at Eighteenth street

B. H. Boyle, of Hackett Coal Company,

Bailroad Coal Operators' Committee, said
yesterday: "I know of no move to build a
road to compete with the Wheeling division
of the Baltimore aud Ohio. The conference
we held with President Mayer in Baltimore
was entirely satisfactory to us, and we ex
pect that the promises he made will relieve
us. No meeting has since been held to pro

THE LEASE IS FOB FIVE TEAKS,
Chief Brown Says the Council Records Don't
Prove Anything.
In regard to the lease of the Central sta
tion property, Chief Brown said yesterday
tbat notwithstandsng all claims to the con
trary, hio lease was good for five years from
the 1st of last April The fact that it did
not appear as five years on the Council
record did not signify as he was not re
quired to submit all his leases to Councils.
Not only had he lease of five years, bnt he
could extend it for ten years irhe chose, the
owner having given him tbat option.
The owner of the property, L Jackson,
called at The Dispatch omce yesterday
aud verified the Chief's statement as to the
terms of the lease. The city can purchase
the property on fair terms, he says, when
the lease expires. The property has a front
age of 144 feet, but the owner reserves 30
feet in making a sale. This will not
aflect the Central station building.

ANOTHEE MEETING HELD.
The XawrencevUle Strikers Addressed
Men From Beaver Falls.
The Lawrenceville strikers held a meet
ing yesterday in Eintracht HalL J. W.
Brown, Chairman of the Advisory Com
mittee of the Beaver Falls mills strikers,
T. M. McCarthy and C. W. Carnegie, of the
same committeewere the sneakers. 'They
denounced the action of the business men
in presenting a petition to the Carnegie
Company to start the mills with either
union or non-union men. For this they
said" many of the locals of other trades had
decided to practically bovcott the leaders
for getting up the petitfon. The Amal
gamated Association leaders feel tbat their
only hope for winning anything is to stand
firmly together, and as the mills do pecu
liar work it makes it all the more difficult
to get new men to operate the them.
