A Syndicate Hesitated for a Moment, bnt Soon Decided to liny. THE cnrsSTATOS FIRMLY FIXED J. T. Scott Discusses the Tossible Effect of a low Tariff. SEWS OP TIIE GREAT LABOR WORLD The result of the election nearly caused a large real estate deal to be declared ofl. Several weeks ago a number of capitalists formed a syndicate to purchase a larce tract of land in the East End for the purpose of laying it out in lots. Everything was ar ranged and all went well until the day alter the election, the time agreed upon for per fecting the deal. At this meeting three of the members signified their intention to withdraw from the arrangement, giving as their reason that ther did not consider the investment a good one. They thought the change in the tariff schedule which the Democrats are expected to make would have a serious eftect upon the industries of Pittsburg and in striking down these they would depreciate the value of real estate. "It was a superficial view they took of the matter," said a member of the syndicate, "lor no man, after inquiring intoPittsburg's status, would think that the changing of the tarifl, even if it were radical, would be able to destroy the city's standing as a man ufacturing city. We have all the advan tages ot location and superiority in work manship and skill, and it would be very dif ficult to encroach upon .our established in dustries. Saw the Absurdity or Their Position. "With but little argument we soon per suaded the gentlemen who wished to retire of the absurdity of their position, and they not only agreed to unite with us upon the deal we bad projected, bnt entered into a second venture with us. "We have no cause to fear that Pit'sburg will not alwavs be Pittsburg." "Even if the Democratic party should carry out its free trade idea," said James R. Scott yesterday, "Pittsburg is as safe as she ever was. Of course there would have to be a readjustment of the wage question in the mills and other works affected by the tariff. I don't say a reduction in wages, for I might be considered to be croaking over the election because it didn't go my way. "What I mean by a readjustment is not that which affects the work ingman alone, but also the employer. The workman will have to be satisfied with less Traces and the capitalist with less profit. This Is not a theory bnt a fact, and, notwithstanding how philanthropic an em ployer may be or how he would dislike to do it, wages will have to be decreased if the protective policy is abandoned. It was the only barrier we had that permitted the laboring man to enjoy high wages. There is bnt one condition, and that a highly Im probable one, which can prevent a decrease in wages.and that is the wages of Germany, England and Holland being raised to our present standard." Pituburg Manufacturers Subscribed. "It was reported, Mr. Scott, that the manufacturers here apprehended the result of the election and did not, on that account, subscribe anything to the National Com mittee?" "This is not the case as far I know," Mr. Scott said. "I saw the subscription book ind noticed amounts as high as $3,000 on the list. It is a fact, however, that not any thing like the amount of money as has here tofore been given by Pittsburg manufactur er was subscribed this time. This talk about the manufacturers not giving money is likely the result of a misconstruction of lanenage. You might go to a man lor a do nation tor some purpose who ought to give vou550",000, but instead gives you but ?50. Xou go away and say yon got nothing from the man, which is practically true, as the small amount does not answer your pur pose. It was probably just so with the iron manufacturer and the National Committee only not so bad." "You don't consider Pittsburg in the least danser of suffering from a revision of the tarifl?" was asked. "I do not," replied Mr. Scott. "In the first place I do not apprehend any very material change. The individual without any responsibility is a great deal more radi cal and sweeping in his shouts than when placed in a position of .trust where tne wel fare of the people is concerned. Mr. Cleve land is far above his partv and will con tinue to be. He will not adopt any ruinous Dolicr. The oulv consolation I nod in the election is that the Democrats have made a clean sweep, and have nothing to restrain them from demonstrating the value of the principles they have been teaching in the next four years." MAKING A BREAK. Two Hundred Non-Union Men Sent In to Tnke the Place of Striking Coal Miners Operators IIopo It trill End the Strike The Men Still Firm. The report that W. H. Brown's Sons Coal Company had sent in 200 new men to take the place of the striking miners in the Old Eagle Mines in the third pool yesterday was the subject of comment on Water street. The operators looked upon this new move as one that would likely bring the strike to an end in a short time. They acknowledge, however, that the strikers are still deter mined, and that there is little indication of u change. It was given out at the office of T. M. Jenkins & Co. that the company did not expect the strike to end for some time. The expected rise in the river did not come, and no coal had been sent out. The send ing of the new men into the Brown mines was thought to be a move that would either bring the strike to an end quickly or make the strikers more determined, and nrolonsr the struggle indefinitely. The operators have up to this time spoken in the most hopeful terms of the prog ress of the strike, and considered that they would be easy winners. But as time passes with no signs ot the miners weakening they begin to thinfc it will be the most bitterly con tested strike in the Monongabela Valley. The fact that many of the miners have left the river mines and secured work else where is considered as an indication on their part not to accept the reduction of one halt cent asked by the river operators. The dissatisfaction of the deck hands and em pldyes on the towboats in not getting work will also prove an element in causing the operators more trouble. The report yesterday that some of the operators would give the men the old price as soon as water came caused quite a flurry among the mine owners. As the expected rise did not come it is difficult to tell what would be the result of good barge water. The operators have always had much diffi culty in keeping some of their number from breaking sway, and should one allow hi men to return at the old rate they are afraid it would lose them the strike. DEPUTIES LAID OFF SUIT. The Force at Homestead Has Been Re duced to 30 Men. Twenty-four deputy sheriffs were laid off yesterday at Homestead, reducing the force to 36. Hereafter the 36 deputies will retire by 1 o'clock in the morning. The number of coal and iron police, who are di rectly hired bv the company, will not be re duced, and there will be extra precautions at the non-union boarding houses in the borough to guard against possible attacks. The mill workers will also be warned to avoid loitering on the streets after mid night if possible. Michael Hanican, who went to work in the mill last Monday, reported to the dep uty sheriffs yesterday that he had received a number of threatening letters and was afrsid to leave his house for fear it would be burned. He keeps a restaurant at the corner ot Amity street and Eighth avenue, and since last Monday strikers have con gregated in front of his place and endeav ored to dissuade his customers from contin uing their patronage. A depnty has been placed on duty on the corner. Another non-union man has filed a state ment that he was assaulted and beaten by four men near the mechanical department last night. He alleges that a deputy sheriff stood by but offered no assistance. The case is being investigated. Haie Begun Work. The Union Planing Mill Company, of Braddock, yesterday resumed operations. Its building had been destroyed by fire sev eral months aso and the present plant is built on the same ground. The company employs 120 men. AX EX-PITTSBURGER NIPPED. The Boldest Swindler Between the Two Oceans In Umbo at Bntler. Butlkh, Nov. 11. Special Through the investigations connected with his arrest for swindling operations here, facts have been learned concerning the man Valen tine, recently run down by4 the officers of the law at Chicago, which will be of par ticular interest to Pittsbnreeri. He is well known there, having at one time been em ployed in Kaufmanns' stores. He was en gaged to be married to a most estimable young lady of Allecheny, who supposed him to be an honest and successful young business man. The detectives' who have handled the case cannot ascertain how far back his peculiar operations may extend; but, as ad vices lroni Chicago state that he is wanted by more than 100 people between Chicago and New York, the indications are that the work is not even comnaratively new to him. His method of operation "in most cases was to mail checks to himself and get them cashed by accommodating hotel clerks and business men. As an example of his "nerve"' it is stated that soon alter "touching" the Seventh Avenue Hotel, in Pittsburg, he returned to that city and spent two hours watting at business houses close to the hotel entrance. In Chi cago he had made several rich strikes b fore he was nipped, having "done" four of the leading hotels and as many more of the big mercantile houses. He was arrested on complaint of the clerk of the Revere House. CITY LIFE DESCRIBED BRIEFLY. H. .1. Heikz Is confined to bis home with a badly sprained ankle.

UNITED AND ENERGETIC ACTION Advocated by Members of the Chamber of Commerce Committee. FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION PIGDEES The Committee on Transportation and Railways of the Chamber of Commerce met yesterday afternoon. Chairman James B. Scott opened the proceedings by stating that the object of the meeting was not to establish a freight bureau. The object of the committee was to investigate the alleged freight discriminations against the Pitts burg producer by the railroads centering in and passing through Pittsburg, and if it wes found that such discrimination was going on to take some course to remedy the matter, and. while a freight bureau might be the direct outgro-rth of the matter, it was not seriously contemplated as yet A letter was read from J. Painter & Sons, in which they said they wished to rectify a mistake made in a communication t to the committee ou November 8, in which they said the rate on iron to New York was 25 cents per hundred, but that it had some time ago been put up to 30 cents and has re mained so ever since. Mr. a A. Painter.for the firm of J. Painter & Sons, made the following report to the committee: "We beg leave to supplement our respects of the 8th Inst, with the fol lowing facts and figures showing the ine qualities in Pittsburg freight rates as com pared with those of competing points. Figures on Freight Discrimination. Mahoning valley points to Selma, Ala., 32 cents perewt. Mahoning valley points to Cincinnati, O., 13 cents per cwt. Mahoning valley points to East St, Louis, 111.. 20 cents per cwt. Mahonin valley points to Cblcazo, HI., 15 cents perewt. Malumlng valley points to Detroit, Mich., 11K cents per ct. iilabonln valley points to Cleveland, O., t)4 cents per cwt. Pittsburg to Selma, Ala., 31 cents perewt. Pittsburg to Cincinnati, O., 15 cents per cwt. Pittsburg to East St. Louis, 111., 21 cents ner cwt. Pittsburg to Chicnso, 111., 17K cents per cwt. Pittsburg to Detroit., Mich., 14 cents per cwt. Pittsburg to Cleveland, O., 9 cents pericwt. "In other words, we are at a disadvant age of 2 cents to i cents per hundred to all points Southeast, South, Southwest, AVest, Northwest and North, a territory in which we should sell 90 per cent of our product. As against this we have an advantage of 2 cents per hundred over the Mahoning valley shippers to New York and Baltimore, aiid cents per hundred to the territory in and aroun 1 Boston, which, however, is largely supplied by mills located near those markets. "To show the inequality of rates to the South we may say that although Pittsburg has the advantage of shipping via either of the two great gateways to the South, Balti more and Cincinnati, she has to pay 'J cents per hundred more freight on iron to all southern points than competitors in Youngstown. Pittsburg Gets the "Worst or It. "These southern rates are made up of the sum of local rate to either Cincinnati and Baltimore and the differential beyond. Now the local rate from Pittsburg to Cincinnati is 2 cents per hundred higher than from Youngstown, and Pittsburg has to pay this Scents per hundred more to all points South, but on the other hand the local rate from Youngstown to Baltimore is 2 cents per hundred more than it is from Pittsburg to Baltimore, but Youngstown never pays this 2 cents extra to any point southwest of the Carolinae, but on the contrary gets, as has been stated, 2 cents per hundred better than us. "If we had some advantage via the east ern lines, as Youngstown has via the west ern lines, we would have a rate ot ireight 2 cents per hundred better than theirs, in stead of theirs being 2 cents better than ours." Mr. Scott then went into a discussion with Mr. Painter as to who was to blame for the discrimination and how it came the manufacturers of the Mahoning valley had concessions made them that Pittsburg man ufacturers could not get. Mr. Painter was of the opinion that it was due to the united pressure brought upon the railroads by all the manufact urers of the Mahoning valley and the lack of energy showed by the Pittsburg manu facturers. They went into a lengthy dis cussion of freight rates over the country, but were unable to place the blame in any one definite place. Blaminc the Local Railroads. Mr. "William Hirscb, who has charge of the shipping of Shoenberger & Co., cor roborated Mr. Painter's figures as to freight rates and was inclined to lay the blame on local roads, as they charge 15 cants per hun dred for carrying iron to Cincinnati, a dis tance of 330 miles, while southern roads carry freight from Cincinnati to Nashville, a distance of over GOO miles, for 1G cents per nnnaren. air. scoti remaricea that the southern roads might be pursuing a ruin ous policy. Mr. Scott also expressed surprise that only three firms, Oliver Bros. &Co., Shoen berger & Co. and J. Painter & Sons, had taken iuterest enough in the matter to come before the committee. Mr. Painter intimated that he believed large firms like the Carnegies and Jones & Laughlins had special rates with the railroads. Mr. W. C. Quincy took objection to the statement, and said that Carnegie and Jones & Laughlins were paying the same Ireight rate as any person else. Mr. Hirsch upheld Mr. Quincy in ihis claim. Mr. Scott said that the committee was working hard, and would like every person with reliable data to come before them and give them such information as tlrey could furnish. The meeting then adjourned, but will hold another session some day next week. Commissioners Will Fay the B11L The booths and ballot boxes are to be stored away at the expense of the county.

Piece by Tiece Their Furniture Went Satisfy Hunger. to NOW A ONCE HAPFT II0MEIS CHEERLESS "Starving and scorned by all their former friends is the condition ot a family in Bloomfield. These ill-treated ones are the wives and children of Joseph Zappa, Joseph Hollinar and William Keardon, the men who, with Angelo Zappa, are charged with the murder of Henry Helmstetter last Fourth of July. Never in all my ex perience have I found a family more de spised, more disheartened nor in more pitiable circumstances than these women aoH children." Those were the words of Agent O'Brien yesterday after he returned from a visit to the destitute home. "Many can recall the Helmstetter mur der," he continued. "It came about through a family quarrel. Joseph Zappa and Jo seph Jlollinar are married to daughters of Eeardon. The wives of the two Italians got into trouble with Helmstetter and their husbands took it up. In a short time the whole family was mixed up in the scrim mage. The result was a knife through Helinstetters heart. A Whole Family Sent to Jail. "The four men, three women and six or seven children were all sent to jail. The women and children were kept there for about a month. Several weeks ago Joseph Zappa and his brother Angelo were tried and both found guilty of murder. Angelo confessed that it was he who did the stab bing. Eeardon and Mollinar are still in jail. "When the women got out of jail they went back to their home in Bloomfield to find that former friends were friends no more. No one would speak to them and not a soul gave them a word of comfort. The wives of the two Italians are young and pretty, neither of them being over 2L Each was a mother. Mrs. Eeardon had six little ones who looked to her for aid. When the women were sent to jail several of the children were placed in charitable homes. Atter their release the family of each was united and the struggle commenced. Their home was once fairly comfortable. It was small, buf little ornaments scattered here and there made it cosy. When they left the jail their treasury was low and as time rolled on it grew still lower. In many ways they sought to earn a livelihood, but sick ness came on them and death took two of the children. Former Friends Despised Them. "The lowest kinds of work were sought in the neighborhood, but former friends turned a cold shoulder. The second-hand dealer was sought, and one by one the household goods went into his possession that the children might be fed. Beds, chairs, tables, pictures, dishes went, but stiil the wolf ot hunger knocked at their door. Even in the lace of winter the cook ing stoic had to be turned over to the pawnshop. Yesterday I found them crouching in their miserable home. The raw November winds were blowing cold upon that hill, but there was not a spark ot fire to drive away tho chills. The poorly clad babies were crying for food, but there was not even a crumb to appease their hun ger. In the midst of all their snflering of body and mind, there came another trouble yesterday.
