Labor Unions
The right of labor to organise in its own
defense is bayend dispute. Its right to
form unions for the protection of its own
interests cannot be questioned. Under
many circumstances and within just limi
tations this association is not only legiti
mate, but judicious and commendable. If
employers come together in organiiations
for their mutual benefit and for the ad
vunoement of their common welfare, there
is no valid reason why workingmen should
not oombine for similar purposes. Within
their proper sphere labor unions have ac
complished much good. They have given
workingmen the strength and advantage
of association; they have lent to the weak
the SUPPORT of the strong; they have aided
in maintaining a liberal scale of wages; in
many cases they have exercised a whole
some influence on the character of labor.
"When they are governed by reason and
good judgement, whsn they accord the
same respect for the rights of others which
they claim for their own, they are salutary
and beaefioiaL
But the misfortune is that in many cases
they do not keep within these bounds.
Under vicious or mistaken influences they
often overstep the. limits of their own
rights and trespass upon the rights of oth
ers. They an too frequently need to co
erce their own members against their own
better Judgement into extreme and unjust
ifiable courses which, if left to themselves,
they would never pursue. If workingmen
SUFFER such organisations to constrain them
against their own interests, it is their own
aflfcir. Bat when they nndertake to exer
cise a control beyond these boundaries it
is a matter whioh concerns the whole com
munity and which touchee the fundament
al rights of society. The Amalgamated
Association may xightfolly reject the terms
of the at Homestead' if it
chooses. It may command its members
to lay down their tools and refuse to work,
if they aro wfiling to snbmit to such dic
tation. Bnt there its authority ends, and
it cannot go beyond without attempting a
usnrpatfbn whioh is intolerable. It has no
right to preTßSt the mill owners from se
curing other help. It has no right to in
terfere with any man outside of its organi
sation Who ohooees to accept their work.
And when It refuses to listen *to reason
and to enter into a fair agreement it com
pels the employer to undertake to emanci
pate himself from dependence upon it.
—Philadelphia Pre**.
THB island OT Sanjor of the Philippine
group in the South Pacific sea, is reported
to have been destroyed by a volcanie
eruption lately, and its 12,000 inhabitants
to have perished.
AT a meeting of the National Committee
in New York, last Saturday, Thomas H.
Carter of Montana was elected Chairman,
Vice Campbell, resigned.
UP to Saturday last the result of the
Bnglish Elections was the election of 266
Liberals, 266 Conservatives, 65 Nationalists,
44 Liberal-Unionists and 9 Parnellites,
with 20 distriots to hear from. This, it
was stated, would give Gladstone a ma
jority, and again put him in power. A
singular feature of the elections was the
re-election of Sir Charles Dilfce, who was
the co-respondent in the Crawford scandal
some years ago.
Henry C. Frick
Henry Clay Friok, the manager of this
immense company, who, in the absence of
Mr. Carnegie in England, is being held re
sponsible by the workmen in the present
difficulty, and who was a few days ago
hanged in effigy by the infuriated men, has
for some years had the title of "The King
of the Coke Regions," He is a young man,
abont forty-two years of age, five feet six
inches in height, stocky in build, weight
of 166 pounds. • .
He was bora In Westmorland county, in
he heart of the fiunous Connellsvillo ooke
region. His Cither was a farmer and as
poor as many fkrmers are. He served
some time time as a clerk in a dry-goods
store, and for a * helped his grand
father ran a grist mill. Young Friok had
not long haaa employed in these capacities
until he scraped enough moifty together
to buy some available coal property near
his home, and, in oompany with a few
partners, put up fifty coke evens. This
was in 1871. Soon the capacity of the
plant was increased, and when the panic
of 1873 came, Friok and his business associ
ates had two hundred ovens and had en
larged their ooal territory considerably.
At this time Mr. Frick wss only twenty
four years old.
His into difficulties through
outside interests during the financial crisis
of the time, and he was enabled, with the
aid of friends, to purchase their share OF
the HTI-F From that time onward he
kept building and buying ovens. When
he could not buy he leased. The panic
had knocked the courage out of specula
tors, and left many a firm in the comer.
Thus Friok was able to drive very advan
tageous bargains for himself. Soon after
the boom ia ooke came, and in a little
while the yearly profit of his leased works
was more than the value of the works them,
selves. Mr. Friok conducted the business
in his own name until 1678, when he sold
an interest to E. M. Furgesan, of New
York city, the firm operating as H. C.
Friok A Co.
In 1882, realizing how much coke meant
to the manufactures of iron, Andrerw Car
negie bought an interest in the Frick busi
ness, and the H. C. Frick Coke Company
was organized, large shares being taken by
Andrew Carnegie and his late brother—
Tnomas M. Carnegie. This coke company
now owns 8.000 of the 13.000 ovens in the
Pennsylvania coke regions,
About five years ago, Mr. Frick became
Chairman of Carnegie Brothers 4 Co. and
is to-day in control of the vast Carnegie
interests. His net profits, it is admitted,
are $2,000,000 per year, and 93,000,000 are
nearer correct, probably.
It was shortly before Mr. Frick assumed
the chairmanship of Carnegie Brothers «FC
Co., that a strike occured in the coke re
gions, in which he won, and he then vowed
to ignore organized labor in all his indus
tries as rapidly as possible. In carrying
out his views at Homesteadlhe precipitated
the orwent conflict.
HOMESTEAD.
1 Homestead was placed under martial
law, on Thursday of last week, which
means the temporal/ <-übstitntion of milita
ry for civil authority, and the 15th regiment
was the first detailed to police the town.
The Amalgamated Association at the Up
per and Lower Union Mills in Pittsburg
quit work that day.
On Friday the cooks at the hotel at
which Gen. Snowden was taking his meals
"struck" and the General and his staff
took breakfast with Battery B.
The fires were lighted in some parts of
the mill, and preparations for resuming
workwere being mado.
The Amalgamated Association men in
the Carnegie mill at Beaver Falls, resolved
to go out that day, and sent their notice
to Mr. Frick, who answered it as he did
the others.
Chairman Frick sent the following tele
gram to the snperintenden tat Beaver Falls,
which explains itself.
Joseph Wrigley. snperintendent, Beaver
Fallß mills. Beaver Falls, Pa.
I am just in receipt of the following tele
gram from Beaver Falls:
"We, the Amalgamated association of
Beaver Falls, the rod-mill and nail-mill,
have come to the conclusion that we will
refuse to work until such time as H. C.
Frick,chairman of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, Limited, is willing to confer with
the Amalgamated association in order to
settle the Homestead affair.
"ARTHCB THORTON,
"Chairman of the Committee."
Yon will please say to Mr. Thorton,
chairman of the committee,and ask him to
to notify the men, that if they, composing
the Amalgamated association at Beaver
Falls mills, and who signed an agreement
with ns for one year, do not go to work
on Monday next or when yon are ready to
start, we will consider their failure to do
as a cancellation of the agreement existing
between us, and when these works do ro
suruo it will be as non-union, and former
employes satisfactory to us, who desire to
work there, will have to apply as individ
uals. You can say that under no circum
stances will we confer with the men at
Homestead as members of the Amalgamat
ed association.
THE CARNBOIB STEEL COMPANY LIMITED.
By H. C. Frick, Chairman.
The Keystone Bridge Company, of Pitts
burg, another Carnegie concern, which de
pends for its supply of iron on the Pitts
burg Carnegie mills, will be seriously crip

Ed
■Hie Upper Union Mill at Thirty-third
street (now 29 years old),is, like th<S Low-
Union Mills and the Beaver Falls Mill,
working under an Amalgamated Associa
tion scale, signed by the workmen's offi
cial leaders and the Carnegies' firm a week
or two annual output of structural
iron and steel, iron and steel bars, iron and
steel universal mill plates and light *teel
rails is about 85,000 net tons; its semi
monthly pay roll $35 000.
The Lower Union Mill, at Twenty-ninth
street (over 30 years old), turns out 50,000
net tons of universal mill plates, car forg
ings, bridge work, angles, axles, links,
pins and bar iron. Its semi-monthly pay
roll runs up between $20,000 and $28,000.
At Beaver Falls Mills the products are
wire rods, wire and wire nails, with an
usual net capacity of 54,000 net tons of wire
rods and wire and 800,000 kegs of wire
nails.
On Saturday notices were sent through
the mail to every mechanic and laborer
formerly employed in the mills, which
read as follows:
The Carnegie Steel Company, Limited.:
HOMBSTBAD, PA., July 15„ 1892.
DPAR Slß —Repairs will be resumed on
Monday morning, July, 18, 1892. We in
vite you to return to your old position,
work to commence at the usual time.
Respectfully, ~
J. A. POTTKR, General Office.
The latter were received early in the
morning and dttring the afternoon big post
ers wero pnt on the fences surrounding the
big works. They read as follows.
"Individual applications for employment
at Homestead Steel-works will bo received
by the general superintendent, either by
letter or in person,until 6 P. M., Thursday,
July 21, 1892: It is our desire to retain in
our service all our old employes wboso
past record is satisfactory and who did not
take part in the attempts which havo bee n
made to interfere with our right to man
age our business. Such of our old em
ployes as do not apply by tho time above
named will be considered as having no de
sire to re-enter onr employment, and tho
positions which they held will be given to
other men, and those first applying will
have the choice of unfilled positions, for
which they are suitable.
"This notice will be the last given to the
employes of this works, and after non
compliance with it the places will be filled
with non-union men
CARKEOIE STBBL CO., LIM.,
'•H. C. FRICK, chairman."
David Shannon, a member of the advis
ory committee, stated that neither the
posters or the notices sent would have any
effect on the men whatever. Tho employ",
ees will go back readily as soon as tho
Amalgamated association says so. The
Carnegie Bteel Company might invite the
best workmen in the world outside tho
ranks of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers and they could
not make nickle-steel armor-plate which
the government wonld accept.
On Sunday, Camp Black was visited by
thousands of the friends of the soldiers.
On Monday, the Carnegie Steel Co.,
through its Secretary, F. T. F. Lovejoy,
made information against Hugh O'Don
nell, John McLuckie, Sylvester Critchlow,
A. Flaherty, Samuel Burkett.Jas. Flauno
gan, and Hngh Ross, seven of the leaders
of the strike, charging them with tho mur
der of I. J. Conners, a Pinkorton watch
man of New York who was struck on the
back of the head with a dynamito bomb,
and Silas Waine, a Homesteader and a
striker, whose head was taken of by a can
non ball as he Btood on tho river bank.
Warrants were placed in the hands of
Constables, who went to Homstead, but
could find none of the men. Burgess Mc-
Luckie, however went to Pittsburg and
surrendered himself and was placed in jail.
O.Donnell was reported to have sailed for
Europe. Sylvester Critchlow is said to be
a citisen of Butler connty.
Secretary Lovejoy said that from twelve
to fifteen informations wonld be made each
day; and the Advisory Committee of the
Amalgamated association resolved to re
taliate by haying all the members of the
Steel Co. arrested.
Gov. Pattison arrived at Homestead,
Tuesday morning, and that afternoon pro
ceeded to inspect the troops. The 15th
Reg. was the first called into line, and it
showed up well.
A citizen of Butler was in tho camp that
day found the l»oys in good spirits, and ex
pecting to get home in a few days. Charley
McJnnkiu was the only member on the
sick list, bnt he was improving.
About two hundred men were at work
in the mill that * day. They are being
brought in singly and in ccuples by the
little steamers, and are being housed and
fed ins ide the big board fence.
Secretary Lovejoy mado four more in
formations against strikers, but tho men
could not be found at Homestead.
The Carnegie Steel Company has retain
ed as counsel in their criminal prosecutions
against strikers, John S. Robb, I). P.
Patterson and Captain E. Y. Breck.
Captaiu Breck said in speaking of the
cases:
"There will be no compromise In any of
these cases. Wo have witnesses who can
identify all who were implicated in the
riot on July 6. Detectives were in tho
work* at the time of the battle and took
notes of names aud oyents. They also
took Kodak picturos of tho scones. They
are prepared to identify the men wo have
prosecuted and others yet to bo arrested."
On Wednesday morning, Judge Magee
of Allegheny Co. convened Court for the
purpose of hearing the case vs. Burgess
McLuckie of Homestead; but tho District
Attorney in stating the case to the Court
give it as his opinion that the alleged of
fence was bailable, and Judge Magee'coin
cidetl with this and fixed the bail at
SIO,OOO, which was given by two Home
stdaders, and the Burgess left for home.
McLuckie was welcomed home by a pro
cession, numbering two thousand. Hugh
O'Donnell also got home that day, and the
Governor continued the inspection of the
troops.
PRESIDENT HARRISON has nominated
George Shiras, Jr. of Pittsburg for the
place on the U. S. Supreme Bench made
vacant by tie death of Justice Bradley.
Shiras had the almost unanimous endorse
ment of the Pittsburg Bar; was recom
mended by Chauncey Depew, "Wayne Mac
beyh, Justice Brown and other members
of the class of 53 of Tale, and was urged
by Mr. Dalrell. All the Pittsburg papers
both Republican and Democratic speak
highly of him.

■fjie Jdaho Riot.
The strike of the union coat luaie*j fff
tho Coeur d'Alene district in Northern
Idaho, against the employment of non
union miners resulted in a desperate riot.
The union miners drove the imported non
union miners (rom tho mines and killed
some of them, blew op one mine, and de
stroyed some railroad bridges on a branch
of tho Northorn Pacific. Tke Governor of
the State wired President Harrison for
assistance, and tho President's order to
the Secretary of War, was as follows.
SARATOGA DEPOT, July J2 —8:30 A. M.
The Governor of the State of Idaho has
called upon me, under section 4, of article
4 of the constitution, for assistance in sup
pressing a domestic distuibancc, which the
State authorities are unable to control.
You will at onco send an adequate force of
troops from the nearest station, under an
officer of rank and discretion, with orders
to co-operate with the civil authorities in
preserving the peace and protecting ljfe
and property. I will leave for Washing
ton to-night.

Milk Poisoning,
Wo take tho following from an article on
tyrotoxicou writtan by Dr. 1). P. Jackson
of New Bedford, Lawrence Co.
I have hoard of a case of iee cream poi
soning where the tro üblo was attributed to
the fact that the ice cream hadjbeen stirred
with an iron spoon: there is nothing in ice
cream to corrode iron, and iron i s not pois
onous. If tho company hail oaten the
whole spoon in it would not have hurt
theiu. It is important that the general
public should acquire % awrect idea of the
nature of poison in those mysterious cases.
I know of an instance where a number of
persons were poisonod by tyrotoxicon
which had formed in ice cream, but the
people thought it was duo to arsenic or
something of that ktnd tljat had been put
into the crc am and were almost ;>u the
point of lynching a man whom they sus
pected of having done so. It is highiy
probable that in former times innocent per
sons have been hang on charges of
ing in cases of this kind. Just why tftis
peculiar fermentation should occur in milk
at times and not at others, is not definite
ly kEown, but doubtless scientific investi
gation will throw light on the question in
the future. As an illustration of how it
may occur I can relate the following: A
dairyman, who had the contract for sup
plying a hotel, milked bis cows at two
o'clock on a hot summer afternoon, placed
the warm milk in closed cans and
hauled it several miles through the
hot sun to the station. The next morning
ice cream was made from it whioh poisoned
a number of people. An examination by
an analytical chemist proved the presence
of tyrotoxicon. During hot weather milk
should be cooled down to sixty degrees as
soon as milked and kept at that temper
ature, aud this peculiar ferment will not
develope. Great care should be used in
hauling milk ia hot weather unless it is in
food that is thoroughly boiled or otherwise
cooked. I think tryotoxicon poisoning sel
dom or never occurs from ico cream made
by a regular maker, as tbey are aware of
tho danger anil use precautions. Tt is
nearly always at festivals, etc., in the
country where the cream is made by aina
tures. The same ferment will sometimes
form in milk during the process of cheese
making Only last week the papers re
ported a family to hare been poisoned in
iu St. Louis by eating cheese. The sub
ject ot poisonous ferments in food products
is a new and important one and merits full
investigation.

An Oregon View.
Portland, Oregonian.
Has protection enriched Carnegie 1 Then
why have so engaged in
the same business failed T f ! it not pro
tection that has enriched Carnegie so much
as superior management. With or without
protection some would grow rich. About
one-half the steel beams in the Oregonian
buildjng were made by a firm near Pittsburg
that had the contract to furnish all of
them. This tirm failed in business, and
the remainder of the beams had to b® or
dered from Carnegie's. There was just as
much protection for one of these firms as
the other. Success, then, depends main
y on management in business. What there
is in protection goes chiefly to labor.
OK Monday of this week the celebrated
Denham or McGarrahan claim passed the
House at Washington, it having already
passed the Senate, and the President's
signature to the bill will now be worth
millions to old Mr. McGarrahan.
This claim is one of the most celebrated
in the historv of Congress It has been
before Congress for 35 years. It has pass
ed either one branch or the other 15 times.
Its payment was recommended before the
war by the Secretary of the Interior and
the Attorney General. "Abraham Lincoln
examined it and pronounced it just. The
claim involves the possession of a large
tract of land in Southern California. The
land had been ceded to a Mexican named
Romcz, while California was yet in posses
»ion of that Government and he retained
possession until long after the United
States had secured the territory. In 1855
if was sold to William McGarrahan. Valu
able quicksilver deposits were found and
outsiders came in and took up claims,
whence arose the suits that resulted in the
celebrated claim.
Over thirty years of lobbying for a jnst
claim against paid lobbyists of the op
position has worn out the li "e of the claim
ant and he will be unable to enjoy the
fortune when it is placed in his hands.

McPHERRIX —At his home in Oakland.
lowa. June 2". 1S!)2, Hon. Jonah Mc-
Pherrin, formerly of this county, in the
85th year of his "age.
Mr. MePherrin was born and raised near
the village of West Sunbury. this county.
He was a son of Rev. John MePherrin, the
earliest Presbyterian Minister of Butler
county. Of a large family we believe
Josiah was the last surviving one. A
sister, Mrs. Sullivan, mother of present
Col. John M. and Mary Sullivan, died here
bnt a few years ago at an advanced age.
A large and respected number of other re
latives yet live in this county.
When quite a young man Mr. MePherrin
went to tne town of Mercer, Pa., from
where, in 1833, he removed to Greenville.
Mercer county, where he lived a respected
and useful citizen the most of hie life.
About ten years ago he went to live with
children residing in the State of lowa,
where he was at the time of his death.
About a year ago he visited his friends
here. He was a mau honored and trusted
by his fellow citizens. In 1%5 he was
elected « member of the General Assembly
of our State from Mercer county, then
composing with Butler and Lawrence
counties a legislative district. The late
Hon. Henry Pillow and the writer of this
were elected on the same ticket with him
in that year for this county. In 1800
he was re-olected. Mr. Pillow being
on • the ticket with him for this
county in that year. Xo moro honest
man ' ever served any people. Xo
more conscientious man ever lived. He
was by nature on the side of the right on
all questions of his day, and was a stern,
unflinching opponent "of every matter and
manner of wrong. Were the world com
posed of such men as was Josiah Me-
Pherrin it would be far better than what
it is or has been.
