THE LOSS IS $60,000.
Johnson Breaker Will Probably Be
Rebuilt as Soon as Insur
ance Is Adjusted.
At T o'clock yesterday morning the
tire which broke out In the Johnson
breaker of the (Jreen Ridge Coal com
pany at ." o'clock had been subdued
and only a small part of the big struc
ture was left standing. At 7 o'clock
hist evening a tire broke out In this
part but was soon extinguished, as was
supposed, only to have It flare up again
at 1 o'clock this morning when the te
niiiinder of the structure was reduced
lo ashes.
Recorder W. I.. I'ouuell. who Is the
general manager of the company, said
yesterday afternoon that the loss is
about $611,000, about half of which is
covered by insurance. He is at a loss
to explain the origin of the fire. The
watchman, William Jeffries, he says,
has reported that lie made an inspec
tion of that portion of the breaker
where the lire originated a half hour
before it started and that lie found
everything all well.
He denies that he was smoking or
that he carelessly threw a lighted
match on the floor where it started a
Utile blaze.
Nothing about the breaker was saved
excepL a few hundred tons of coal
which were in the Dockets when the
fire originated and which were taken
out by a gang of men under the leader
ship of Superintendent Thomas Mc
Laughlin. The few men working in
the mine when the lire started were
warned by Fire Ross Gillespie and got
out easily.
Ret order Council said yesterday that
it was very likely that building opera
tions will be resumed just as soon as
the insuiance is adjusted. The new
struetuie will probably be larger
than the old one, which had a capacity
of 107,000 tons a year or about 1)00 tons
a day.
The saddest tiling In connect Inn with
the burnlnir of the breaker Is the fact
that it throws ."ilO men and boys out
of employment for the winter.
Tin- trestle work at tho burned
breaker caught lire again last night
shortly before S o'clock and an alarm
was turned in which brought out the
O. P. Johnson Hose company, of Bun
more, The Humes were easily extin
guished after a half hour's wink.

Nothing was given out regarding tho

further than thnt a number of disputes
between allied organizations weie taken

Owing to tho delay In the arrival of
delegates, thu convention of tho newly
formed Metal Trades Federiltlon, sched
uled for yesterday, was postponed until
today. It will open at 10 o'clock this
morning In Hotel Jermyit.
This organization was formed in St.
Louis, last July. It embraces all tho
trades whose members work on nietnl.

tional unions are Included: Allied
metal mechanics, blacksmiths, boiler
makers, coiemakers, electrical work
ers, machinists, metal polishers, metal
workers, sheet metal workers. Iron
molders, patternmakers and stove
mounters. The combined membership
is between four and five hundred thou
sand 111011.
Its purpose, as slated by President K.
.1. Lynch to a Tribune repot ter, yester
day, is to effect an organization along
the same lines as the American Feder
ation of Labor, that will deal with
matters particularly concerning metal
workers, as the American Federation
of Labor does with mallei's pertaining
to its allied organizations. An execu
tive council Is to be formed of all the
national olUceis of the allied metal
trades unions, and to this council will
be referred all matters ntfeclliijr the
organization. It is also to be an of
fensive and defensive alliance.
Work for Today.
At today's convention, ollicer.s will be
elected and committees named to per
fect the weak of organization. When
the federation was llrst projected, last
July, only two ofllcers were mimed, K.
J. Lynch, of New York, president, and
L, R. Thomas, of Pittsburg, secretary
tteasurer. Mr. Lvnch is international
president of the Metal Polisbeis, Duf
fers, Platers and Hrass Workers' Union
of North America, and has held the
olllce for seven years. Mr. Thomas Is
International president of the Pattern
makers' League of North America. Tim
latter has not yet arrived.
One of the subjects that will occupy
tile attention of today's convention is
tin- trouble at the Dayton, O., works of
the National Cash Register company,
where the polisbeis and buffers have
been on strike for seven months. Piesl
dent Lynch and the delegates from his
union will endeavor to have the Metal
Trades Federation decline for u, boy
cott on the company. Representatives
of other trades, whose men ate at work
at the cash register factory, will op
pose this proposition.
Postmaster Ripple has complied with
the request of President Gompers for
the installation of n sub-poslal station
at St. Thomas' hall during the con
vention of the American Federation of
Labor in this city. All convention mall
will be delivered there and collected
from it special box, and a man will be
In charge to sell cards, stamps, en
velopes and wrappers.
A Sub-station Postofllce.
No money orders or reglsteied letters
will be received or paid out at this
temporary sub-station, but application
blanks for money orders will be kept
there and forwarded to the muln of
fice. The letter acknowledging this
concession received by Postmaster Rip
ple Is as follows:

Saturday The counter-proposition was
In effect that the men would return to
work under the old contract, providing
It was so modified ns to establish a
uniform rate of wages of twenty cents
an hour for car men, with five cents nn
hour extra for every hour above ten,
and that runs be so arranged that not
less than eight or more than ten bouts
constitute a day's work. It also con
tained a graduated scale of wages for
barn men.
Accompanying the counter-proposition
was u set of resolutions passed at
Monday's meeting, In which Hie Sllll
ninn proposition was rejected and the
executive committee authorized to pre
sent the: counter-proposition.
Mr. Sllllman said he would consider
the olTer and give an early reply. Later
in the day, he sent the committee a
letter rejecting the counter-proposition
and reiterating his statement con-,
tallied In Saturday's proposition, that
the only terms under which the men
could come back to work were those
that the company has been offering all
along-,
A enr was run on the Duryea line
yesterday morning, for tho llrst time
since the strike began. A dozen men
were taken along to clear the tracks
and protect the car nnd crew from a
possible assault. Obstructions were en
countered every little ways, and at sev
eral places the track was found to have
been burled under nshes and dirt to
the depth of half a foot for consider
able distances. All along the route the
tiolley wire was laden with tin cans,
sticks, stones and the like, suspended
fiom cords. Stones were thrown at the
car at several points along the line, but
no general attack was made. The line
was opened up successfully, but on ac
count of the snow it was decided not
to begin making regular trips until the
storm abates.
Only one of the strikers returned lo
work yesterday. General Manager Sllll
man says there are fully fifty men who
are anxious lo come back, but elo not
want to go out on the cars while the
Federation of Labor convention Is on.
The strikers are pinning gieat faith
in the federation taking some action to
help them win their fight. At Monday's
meeting of tho union It was proposed
that the federation should declare a
boycott on all the trolley roads In
which tho Clarkes aie interested.
Despite the heavy snow, ears we-re
kept running on all the lines excepting
South Side and Hellovue-Stone avenue.
