to Be Maintained-. Effort Being
Made to So Adjust Hates That All
Interests Will Be 8atiBed8onte
of (he Rumors That Arc Cnrreat.
"The representatives of the leading
steel rail manufacturers of the coun
try are still in this city, and tday
there was a continuation of the discus
sion of matters In connection with the
steel rail pool," says yesterday after
noon's New York Commercial Adver
tiser. "While the main points hav?
been agreed upon for the regulation of
the steel rail output, the details still
remain to be worked out.
"Prices, it Is said, will be but little
changed, and there Is little danger of
demoralization, as happened with the
case of steel billets, although most of
the members of the steel rail pool are
also members of the- billet association.
"It Is known that the difficulty of the
present meeting is to make such a di
vision of the allotment that all will
be satisfied, but it is generally believed
that the outcome will be a thorough
understanding.
"From an authoratlve source It was
learned today that all the members
recognized the importance of maintain
ing the organization, and that almost
all had manifested a willingness to
compromise. There is still, however,
considerable dlssatlsfuction expressed
on the part of certain representatives
over the allotment, and the adjustment
of percentages Is yet to be decided by
the special committee which was ap
pointed to consider the case.
QUESTION OF RATES.
"The question of rates will probably
be taken up late this afternoon, when
the differences of opinion respecting
distribution, production, etc., are to be
adjusted.. All of the manufacturers
are expecting a prosperous year, and
ar.i, anxious to huve an eiastlc agree
ment admitting of expansion at points
where business is not so profitable, but
where It Is desirable to keep all the
plants In operation.
"It was stated today that the mwt
Ipiportant event which hus occurred In
the trade for years was the final con
clusion Just reached of the negotiations
between the Carnegie Steel company
and the Rockefeller interests, by which
the Carnegie company acquires control
of the best properties on the Mesaba
rungc from the Rockefellers. The
agreement, which was made public to
day, provides for the shipment of the
ore In the Rockefeller Bteaniers to Con
neant, where It will be1 turned over to
the new PlttHburg, Besmsemer and
Luke Krle railroad, controlled by the
CarneRle company. The transaction. It
was said, will have an important ef
fect on the ore pool, which must fuce a
new situation. It is understood that
the result will lie that the central Went
will have to get down to a lower East.
BEAM MANUFACTURERS.
"It was announced today that the
beam manufacturers have come togeth
er and settled their allotment. The
trade in pig iron has been quiet in all
centers In view of the-uncertainty of
the steel billet pool and its future.
From an Inside source It was learned
today that although most of the manu
facturers represented at the conference
are connected with the billet pool, noth
ing concerning the latter Interest hus
been discussed.
'"Uy the deal Just completed the Car
negie company will lie in a position o
control over 20 per cent, of the annual
output of pig Iron. It was further
Ftated that the announcement today
of the completion of this deal will men
nce the steel rail pool."
ALARM AT PITTSBURG.
By United Press.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 17. The demoral
ization In the steel market since the
adjournment of the "pool" meeting In
Pittsburg last week has created alarm
among the heaviest producers and has
caused them to ask a meeting of those
connected with the association be called
for next week In New York. The com
petition for business has been so keen
that it is claimed profits have been
wiped out for everybody.
The officials of the Carnegie Steel
company would neither alllrm or deny
the price of standard steel rails had
been rut three dollars a ton, but as the
price is fixed by the makers association
It will probably be strictly adhered to.

his puis that h,o Intended to go home to

to nrrest him until he stepped off the
11.30 Delawur? and Hudson train In
this city. Then the two officers who
had occupied a seat behind him all

brought him to the station house,

PLUMBERS WANT AN
INCREASE IN WAGES

STRIKE MAY EE THE OUTCOME
Journeymen Plumbers Ask the Adop
tion of a Scale of Wages Thnt Will
Give Them 93 Per DayGrouudi
on Which the Request is Opposed
by the Master Plamber of the City.
From present Indications Jan. 1 will
usher in something: besides the begin'
ning of a new year. The plumbers of
the city want an increase of wages
and If It is not conceded to them there
Is a strong probability that they may
stoo work.
Neaily all of the journeymen plumb
ers of the city ure members of the lo
cal plumbers union, which has for some
time been agitating the matter oi in
creased wages. There is at present
no regular scale of wages agreed
uoon between the plumbers union and
the master plumbers. The rate of
wages that obtain here runs from $2.25
to 13 oer dav. the master plumber ae-
cidlng. after testing the capability of
the mau, what his remuneration shall
be.
The Plumbeis' union wants to secure
the adoption of a scale of wages that
will give evtry Journeyman plumber
who has served one year or upwards
more than the prescribed apprentice
ship period. $3 per day. A short time
us:o a committee of the Journeymsn
met representatives of the master
plumbers and discussed the matter of
a scale of wages, 't ne master piuino
r dill nut fuvor the scale. They pre
ferred to pay a man whatever his skill
entitles him to receive, as they believe
It Is an lucenlive for men to Improve
and advance in their trade. They fur
ther objected to the scale on the
giouud that contiucta for the winter's
work had been made on the basis of
the exlsiinir rate of wages. Tney sug
gested a postponement of the matter
until spring.
The utlltude of the master plumbers
was considered at a meeting of the
plumbers held last Sunday, and a com
munication prepareu wnicn iu ijiou
ni.w ! rend at the master plumbers'
meeting tonight. It Is Intimated that
the communication will Insist on the
$3 scale of wages anu it it is noi ac
ceded to a strike is noi iiniJiuuuie.

Kingston; Rev. Dr. T. C. Edwards,
Kingston, and Rev. J. B. Crawford,
Wllkes-Barre. The general secretary,
Rev. F. A. Dony, of this city, present
ed an interesting report. He said in
part:
Our society Is now on the threshold
of Its third year. That It has a wide
held and a great work Is umiuestloned.
I recognize that whether this Held is
etovered uind this . work done depends
largely on the general secretary. 1 have
done wnat 1 could, tne conditions nnu
circumstances that confront u every.
where, which I need not specify, make
progress neeessarlly slow. The fact that
the general secretary must create the
llnanelal support consumes much val'iable
time, and that the support Is Insufficient
to provide suitable clerical help, crowds
labor and responsibility upon one persui
which is greater than it should be, and o
great as to hinder the rapid extension of
the work.
Never In the history of this work has It
commanded greater respect and appre
ciation from the Working class and from
employing corporations and individuals
than during the past year. I look forward
with hopefulness and assurance of ait ' l
tlmate success that will compensate for
all the struggle and suennce which 'M
great work Involves.. I huve made atout
one hundred addresses on the proejilon
of the Sabbath, traveled about miles
and caused to be circulated abo.it 2(V)
copies of Sunday protection literature
during the year.
The receipts of the year to date hnve
been ll.UKI.S6. about the same as last year.
In August the Sabbath Defender, our new
publication, was committed to the uncer
tain sea of Journalism. It has had a cor
dial welcom" and oroven a gratify! lg piic
cc98. The y obstacle In the way of its
future Is ti.. fact that it adds greatly to
the labors or the general secretary, who,
In my opinion, was sufficiently burJeued
before. The platform, at the head of Its
editorial colcmns. Is:
"First No open saloon, nor tale of
Iluuor, on Sunday.
"Second Sunduy bUKlnes and work to
be reduced to the minimum of necessity
of one day of rest In seven."
"Third To every worker the nbxolute
right of one day of rest in seven.
T believe all these are possible through
me nueiity or this society.
Arrangements were made for hold
ing two anniversary meetings, one in
Wllkes-Barie and one In Scranton.
Rev. J. B. Craven, of Wllkes-Barre,
and J. L. Stelle, of Scrantnu, were ap
pointed with the secrttary to arrange
programmes for the same.
. VERY THRILLING CLIMAX.
One of the Strong Features of "Shan
non of the Sixth."
Next Monday night "Shannon of the
Sixth" will be the attraction at the
Academy of Music. The scene at the
climax of act third is one of the most
thrilling ever put on the stog!". The
heroine Is bou 'd to the mouth of a
cannon, a lighted torcli is applied, and,
Just as the piece Is about to exploue,
the hero appears on the scene and suc
ceeds in rescuing her just as the can
non explodes.
While stirring In n dramatic way.
the dramu Is also liberally supplied
with comedy, and Its scenic embellish
ments the finest known to the scene
painter's art. The scenes In India are
equal in novelty of effect and richness
of treatment to any shown by the so
called "spectacular" productions. The
play Is under the management of W.
H. Power and he has glveu it every
advantage In the way of company and
scenery effects.
FAY FOSTER COMPANY.
Opened n Three Day's Engagement
Yesterday In Davis Theater.
The Fay Foster Extravaganza com
pany appeared yesterday afternoon and
evening to full houses at Davis' theater
In the laughatlle burlesque entitled
"A Swell Reception at Newport." The
ord?r of arrangements was somewhat
varied In the Swell Reception from the
average vaudeville show, but the pro
gramme gave opportunity for some ex
cellent specialty work.
Toremost among the specialty artists
were Campbell and Beard In their great
musical act; 'Harry La Marr, the fe
male Impersonator; Nettie Hanley and
James Lowry, Clara Chevee, Marie de
Rossett and Leslie and Curdy.
The entertainment was probably one
of the funniest that Has been given at
the Davis' theater In many weeks, but
the closing sketch, "One Night on tho
Kbyal Blue Line." contained gome novel
and hilarious features that were to a
certain extent uhcud of date.
The company will appear at Davis
theater this afternoon and evening.
GONE BACK TO TRENTON. '
Slav Who Stole His Boarding Boss's
Bank Book Will Htnnd Trial.
' John Suyeta was taken back to Tren
ton, N. J.. yesterday morning, there to
answer the charge of stealing the bank
book of his boarding boss and securing
4fi0 by forging the bosd's name.
When Detective Clancy, who came
here after Suyeta. appeared at the cell
door In the police station, the prisoner
wanted to know if there wasn't some
way of settling the case. The boarding
boss was right at hand and he agreed to
drop the prosecution upon payment of
the money, although, he said, he had
expended 1150 more in litigation with
the bank trying to collect the moircy
and was beaten in the courts.
Suyeta shook his head wearily and
said he didn't think he could raise 1450.
They began dickering and at last the
boss agreed to take 300 and call quits.
Suyetu promised to pay that if given
time, but the boss ' wouldn't wait for
time and Suyeta went to JVrsey where
the penalty of such crimes is very
severe.
