Appropilalely enough her first appe.iume was
in Hip lofty thrincs made still gleater by Handd

in i-louer time than it is often heard, but this
was to lis cicilastins cain, lor in the lovely
suim; song she wis all temperament with a
lightncM and grate in every tone nnd ge-turc
that was like a blight hiul poised for flight.
No one can deny that with all her ci!,atlllty
Madame Schuinannllcink is lno,t unapproachable
in her (Jernian songs. In nothing was this more
characteristic than tin; lUahms, number?. If,
as somebody sav.s, "Ilrahnis leininds one of tho-e

indeed.
The Schubert sciics wero a revelation to those
who have only heaid her in grand opcia. Again
that wondcilul temperament, the emotion, the
power of it all shook her listeners. Who can
forget than trancemkntally strong rendering of
"Die Allmaeht"?

MASS MEETING
OF STRIKERS
AFFILIATED EMPLOYES MET
IN MUSIC HALL YESTERDAY.
At on Open Meeting of the Strikers
of the Various Local Manufactur
ing Establishments, Chairman
Campbell Asked the Lodges to
Meet nnd Delegato All Executive
Power to Their Representatives in
the Council Foundry Men Quit
Work at Penn Avenue Shops,
With tho exception of a big mass
meeting of the striking machinists, ear
builders, boilormakcrs, etc., of this city
yesterday afternoon, there wero few
new developments In the strike situa
tion. About (inn hundred and fifty
men employed in the foundry of tho
Allls-Uhatmcrs company on Penn ave
nue, have now, however, quit work, as
a result of tho refusal of the tar
makers to work with non-union help
ers. Yesterday afternoon's mass meeting
was held In Music Hall and was well
attended. Chairman Ituiiiplircy H.
Campbell opened It by explaining tbe
purpose of the gathering. Ho declared
that It was called lo bring together
the members of the different lodges
adulated with the council, and have
them arrange meetings to be held al
most Immediately, at which they
would pnss the recommendations of
the council that the delegates bo given
executive power, In the conducting of
tho strike. Such powers would Include
the levying of assessments, giving of
benefits, nnd the appointing of various
committees tn assume charge of de
tails oC the campaign which will bo
mapped out. Tin lodges wero also
asked to place their entire member
ship at the disposal of tbe council
delegate:--, to furnish them all neces
sary assistance.
PLANS TO P.AISIO FI'XDS.
Certain plans alrsady conceived fur
the raising of funds will bo put Into
execution within a feu days by the
council. Chairman Campbell then em
phasiced tho fact that all lodge mem
bers ni-o requested to keep away from
the Delaware, Lackawanna Ss West
ern railway station anil studiously
avoid any acts of violence. A special
committee will bo appointed whose
members will take care of the matter
of dealing with Imported men.
The action taken by the Central La
bor union Sunday in calling upon the
American Federation of Labor tn
make some move regarding the stilke,
was next reported to the audience, af

SUGGESTIONS MADE.
l.emarks from those present were
then asked for, and a number of the
strikersvolunteered suggestions, princi
pally dealing with tho course to bo pur
sued In deallngwlth the Imported hands.
One and nil spoke strongly against
scenes of riot, such ns occurred Mon
day afternoon at the Lackawanna sta
tion. Meetings' of the pattern workers
and blacksmiths will be hold today to
act on the recommendation of tho
council. The former will meet this
morning at -121 Lackawanna avenue,
and the latter at :i o'clock this after
noon in German Odd Fellows' hall. Tho
machinists have already voted upon it,
and meetings of the bollermakers and
Federal Labor union wero held yester
day afternoon and night, at which it
was adopted.
A letter was received yesterday by
Chairman Campbell from Hns'luess
Agent John IL Brown, of tho Klmlrii
machinists, evidently written before
Monday morning, in which the asser
tion was made that all the machinists,
blacksmiths ui'd bollermakers weio
sure to strike at the appointed hour.
Communications from Wilkes-Harro In
formed Chairman Campbell that the
Vulcan Iron works have granted tho
men's demands. The employes will
work ten hours with eleven nnd a
quarter hours' pay until September,
and will then begin work on a nine
hour scale.
foundry; closf.d down.
Tho closing down of tho Allls-chal-mers
company's foundry was caused
by the coro workers refusing to work
with non-union helpers. Their with
drawal from the foundry rendered tho
iiiiiiiuiers uetpiess unit tiip company
then decided to close tho works. None
of the foundry men ask the nine-hour
day, but It was merely their scruples
against iiim-unlou men which occa
sioned the strike.
There were no new men brought Into
tho city yesterday by the Lackawanna,
according to the strikers, and tho day
passed off quietly and without any
thing to mar the general harmony.
Today tho convention of car builders
will be opened at Hulfalo. Tho as
sembly has been called for tho purpose
of effecting a national organization,
as at present the only national osso.
clatlun with which the unions aro af
lllluted Is the American Federation of
Labor,
Thero seems to be a general opinion
of conlldenco among tho strikers that
their cessation from labor will not bo
of long duration, as at the Allls-Uhnl-mors
shops alone, there is said to bo
over one and a half million dollars
worth of work which should b( Im

Statement of the Strikers.
Ldllnr of The Tribune.
Mr: In outer tli.it the public nf Scr.inlnn,
In whoso falr-mlndediie.-s we have (jreat rnnfl
deuce, may understand rvaetly the position of
llio lnol.il workers now rcfiialri? to work until
Ihe lilnc-honr day nt the former rate per day 1
(.-united, I dcni It necessary tn make a slain
incut of our (side of the c.io. There seems to
he nn elToit tn proie Inconsistency on the pirt
of Hie iiriclilul-ls Involved ill this matter bo
c,iuo we will not consent to betray the other
liie unions who have Joined with us and allow
ourselves to be Used to thwart the others.
Nnw, lu this matter It Is necesssiry lo inn.
elder the movement locally almost entliely and
we want it distinctly understood that nut until
'lliui-ilay, May i, did the agreement of the
N.i tlcin.it Melal Trades association with the In
ternational Association of Machinists enter di
rectly Into this matter. When the notice r.nnc
In lis last fall that the limn had arrived for the
Hist half liour'ii reduction, according to the
Xcillon.il Melal Tiade.s association agrrciiicnt,
it was .accompanied by a list of the members
nf that association, which contained the name
nt tho Pliksoii Manufacturing company. A com.
milee (nt which 1 was a member), appointed
merely to secinn Inhumation as to their inten
tions, WSs informed they had withdrawn. Mr.
Mcl-.ticii furnished this information In a rather
vague way, as to the time, and we were aller
wards Infoimed fiom our headquarters that
their wllhdiaw.it was not yet auctioned. We
iritainly felt Ju-lllled in concluding there might
he an eftoil to evade this very nine-hour day
itEirciuciit on the part of the Dickson company.
However, be that as It may, It eliminated tho
National Melal Trades association fiom the mat
ter. Then r.teclrlu Cily lodge began the very care
ml and thoiougli work which has resulted in
the f i ti 1.1 1 1 ii nf a Metal Trades council of the
Central Labor union of Scranton, Pa., not jet
unite complete In its details, nor as caiefully
cl.i.sslllcil as It will be later, but very effective
for the pin pose of securing the nine-hour day.
In doing this we presented the matter lo the
other unions nf mel.il workeis and let them
ai t for themselves, and they freely and unani
mously decided they would like to have the
nine-hour day, too. We want the public to
ileaily uii'l.'iM.iiul Iheie ale Hie oilier factors
in this moicuicnt besides the machinists, all of
whom are capable ol deciding stub a question
for thcni-flvcs. The way ..icy have decided it
we all know. Tbe machinists must not be con
sidered as haling leading sliings on them.
These other live unions have been enumerated
so often it Is nnt iicicssary at this time to re
peat llieir n.uues. In diavving up a joint peti
tion in piesent to one employers it was, nf
iniuse, neics-.ny for Ihe machinists lo be still
siiboidinate lu their gi.iud lodge and abide by
its iiilltijjs, and as long ns we did this we weie
enliiely at. libeily to be panics to the joint
petition decided on by the nther five unions
besides ourselves, the delegates of whom com
pose the council mentioned.
Xnvv let the people of N'l.infou undeisfaiid
just what me have met with in our clients to
secuie as woilby a thing as the nlnc-lioii. da v.
We considered any committee nt the twelve
delegates (two fiom each of tho six unions)
would be competent to represent all the lneiii
biis nf the .uious unions in any of the shops
of the city, but we knew- if this was attempted
we could be met with that stereotyped speech
of welcome about "our own emplnjes aie al
ways weh nme lo a conference," etc., etc. So wo
decided the council would select a committee
nf "uur own employes" at each shop ti repie
ent the council and act in the name of the
council. Ihe advantage of this ought In be ap
patent. Unh shop crnftnian Jn joining his in
spcitive uninii committed his interests to it,
ami eaih union in turn committed its inlcicsts,
through its two delegates, to the council. Tho
action of the council, however, had to bo taken
b.iik to eaih lodge for latifU.ition by the indi
vidual members before becoming binding, hut
by being alllliated in this way it expedited m.it
teis, because It a committee was selected by the
inuncll it lepie.sented all the craftsmen of Ihu
loumil and could, thereloie, be limited lo fvvo
or three men, regardless of what craft they
were, and we weie fiee to select the most suit
able null. When a (ounnlttce so composed and
accompanied by mjself as chairman of the coun
cil, called on Mr, Mcbairn euly In May and
pie-enlcd the petition of Ihe council and
claimed tliat in so doing we i-rprc-ciitcd the
sentiment nf- his men. acting thiough their

to his shops. In almost the same breath he
infmincil Us Ihe petition could not be cuii-lcl-eted
by himself or the olliceis nf the shops here,
but that II would have to be foiw.iuhd to the
itllims of sumo association the Dicksnn ci.m
p.iuy had, been nbsoibod by and pa-cd on by
Ihein.
The expression was u-ecl that Ihe inncein
was "vvnilh millions." We undeistood that It
was dcirci we should get the iiupios.loii that
we "vveii! up against the teal thing now," Tho
occasion, however, was taken lo point nut to
Mr. .Mi I., lien the iiiion-Ileiiey of his pn.s(ion
in objecting to an association having anything
tn do wilh the attitude of Ids lucu toward his
company, when the attitude of his company
Kiw .11 it his men was to he governed by au asso
ciation. W heaid nothing of a National Melal
'liades aRiccineiit then, cither. Now at the last
minute we aie liifiunied the concent is under
null .in .igieement, and when we weie mi in-
clinic. I 1 immediately sent our president an ex
act copy of tho petition as piesontril hy the
i cmiic II and asked him If the machinists should
ihange it as far as it mmcrucd llirin. lie gave
lis positive InsiiiK liens not to do so, both speci
fically and by ntlicl.it ciicnlar. No. -I, which
has been published as his ultimatum, nii'l why
should we consent now lo be used ns llie weapon
wilh which tu defeat these other five unions.
If the in.icliliii.-ls had au,v' ic.i-ou to wltluhavv
flcilil the council bow would that concern the
other live unions, whoso membeis far oiit-number

Dr. Hut lor, who was called, pro

moved tu the hospital. The wounded

was Impossible to save his life.
The reputations of Yescavltch and
Cawley nnd tho circumstances of the
