PRINCIPLE AT STAKE,
A Lons and 'Bitter Contest Eeing
Waged at the. Elba Iron Works
XOT FOE MONEY BDT FOR BELIEF.
4. Heavy Rise in the Eirer Clears the Bai
lor cf All Loaded Coal.
H1PPEXIKGS IX LOCAL LABOR CIRCLES
The strikers at the Elba Iron "Works hare
maintained a stubborn contest lor almost
six months. They have stood out firmly to
a man; none cfthem having appliedlbra
position in the mill. The management still
refuses to recognize a labor union. The
strikers have gradually scattered and
secured work at other mills until now only
about two dozen of the orisinal 300 men are
left about the place. These receive weekly
benefits from the Amalgamated Association
and the leaders sar they are in a position to
stand out until next summer, if necessary.
They are doing nothing, but Keeping a
rlose watch on what is coing on about the
mill.
The strike has been a peculiar one in that
it is not a question of wages bat of princi
ple that the men ore contending for; but
theT have been none ht less determined in
the long contest that is apparently not
nearerts close than when it began.
' Neither Side Admits Defeat.
The management claims tne mill to be in
successful operation. As soon after the
strike was declared non-union men worn
brought in and the mill has been running
since. The strikers say tnere is more or
less difScnltT in running the plant.
John Collett, a leader of the strikers, in
discussing the contest, said: "Nearlv all
our men have gone away from here and are
working in other mills. I do not think
thev could all be induced to return under
anv circumstances. Many of ihera have
changed their work, and, while this is a
pipe mill, thev are now in all kinds of
mills.- We know what goes on in the mill
every day, and Ironi what information we
receive the mill cannot be turning out the
amount of material it should. The only
thing between the companv and us is that
of the scale being signed. The company
must surely be losing money, as the non
union men brought here are leaving from
time to time, so'that the crews have to be
constantlv changed.
Still Hoping for Victory.
"I believe there will be a change soon,
and that a scale will be signed about the
first of the rear. ' For my own part, the '
strikers here now are doing very well and
can live as they are until next summer.
"We were given" the choice of returning to
work or belonging to a union. "We chose
the latter and intend to be recognized or
never go to work at this place."
"When the Homestead strike was declared
off it was thought the men at these mills
would return to work, since it was an
nounced there was no chance for these men
to win. They all decided to never cive in,
and as the new men could not do the work
as satisfactorily as the old employes they
thought the company would be greatly
hampered or finally sign the scale and then
settle all the differences between the con
testing parties. The Elba strike has been
one of the quietest, but most bitterly con
tested strikes in Pittsburg for a long time,
when it is considered that there it is not a
matter of money but of principle that is at
stake.
C0ALB0AT STAGE.
The TT ater Is nicU Enough to Take Out
All the Loaded Coal In the Pools The
Coal Exchange Receives Word Concern
ing the Logstown Dike.
The river rose rapidly yesterday and by
evening the marks at the Smithtield bridge
showed 11 feet in the channel About 12
feet is expected at the Davis Dam by this
morning as heavy water is still reported
from the headwaters of both the Jlononga
hela and Allegheny rivers.
Tne rivermen were actively engased yes
terday in getting tows ready, as there was
enough water to take the heaviest tows out.
Everybody will be pressed into service, as
the operators are making every effort to get
all the coal now loaded to the lower market
Estimates as to the amount of coal to go out
vary, but it is generally estimated that there
will be about the same amount as last week.
Some of the towboats got out yesterday
afternoon, and all will he out this morning.
Many of the small harbor boats will likely
!f sent out with light tows.
S3ecretary Tilley, of the Coal Exchange,
S received a letter irom General Casey yes
.erday stating that he had ordered Major
Stickney to stop work on the Iiogstown
dike. He said that only a small amoant of
stone had been removed lrom the old dike,
and that things would remain as thev are
until sprins. As the dike now is no inter
ference will be experienced by the tow
boats as the dangerous points will be
marked by lights.
The rivermen hardly know how to take
this new turn of affairs." Some think it is
a practical concession on the part of the
Government, but others say work cannot be
done at this time on account of the
high water, as turthcr work would be im
possible under any condition at this season.
They think that with the beginning of
work next spring the dike will be built in
accordance with the wishes of Major Stick
nev, and that no matter what may be done,
the plans of the Coal Exchange will be dis
regarded. There was no change reported
from the miner' strike.
BELIEF AT HOMESTEAD.
Many Anxious Applications Uf ing Made to
the Committee.
The cases of destitution are reported to
be increasing at Homestead. Yesterday
morning when the secretary of the relief
committee arrived at his office, he found 16
women waiting for relief The contribu
tion from the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, of Braddock, was received yester
, day. The Homestead cash contributions to
date amount to ?424 50, and the cash from
abroad ?52. A contribution of groceries
was yesterday received from Johnston,
Eacye, Earle Corapauy. The officials of the
borough will give a ball January 2 for the
benefit of the sufferers. Applications are
still being received at the mill from the
old men, but only a few are getting positions.

President Garland Will Spend Two Weeks
Among Western Lodges.
President Garland, of the Amalgamated
Association, left yesterday tor a tour of the
West. He will be absent two weeks, and
while away will visit all the subordinate
lodges in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Indiana, lie will make an investiga
tion of the order in that section and collect
such data as will be of use to the work of
the association. These lodges had been
urging him to go among them for some
time. He will likely institute a number of
new lodges while away.
