The Labor Troubles In Pittsburgh a approach
ing q Crisis.


The Labor Troubles In Pittsburgh approach.
ing Crisis.
The great iron mill strike which it was
hoped would be avoided will come, and
after the 1st of June, the great manufac-
tories of the West will be idle. The con-
ference committees of the workmen and
manufacturers met at Pittsburgh on Mon
day and had an animated discussion. The
iron workers laid their proposals before
the manufacturers, and they were talked
over for short time and then were en-
phatically declined by the mill owners.
Each side left the meeting with an ap-
parent determination not to yield in any
particular, and no date being fixed for
another joint session of the commit
tees they now go. out of existence.
President Ja-ret, Of the Amalgamated as
sociation, presented, as the ultimatum OF
the workmcn, demand of an increase Of
SOC. ton for pudding, from GS2 to 75c.
on muck rolling, and from $3.50 to So
on busheling on sand bottoms. James J.
Bennett said these figures could not be
paid but offered to have a subcommittee
appointed to consider the advance for
scrappers. This was declined, aud Presi-
dent Jarret moved the adjournment, which
followed.
The two leading members of the manu-
facturers' committee say that the Anal.
gamated association will find that it can
not have all it asks for, and that the fight
between organized capital and labor which
will take place this summer will be the
greatest and most desperate this country
has ever seen. All the mill owners west
of Pittsburgh have been waiting for the
result in Pittsburgh, and now that it has
come, they will have to yield or go out
with the Pittsburgh firms. On the 1st of
June the Amalgamated association will
present the !new scales for signature, and
if they are not signed then will come the
great strike.
Tho workmen say Pittsburgh mill
owners cannot afford to let their works
remain idle, but the operators say they
will not turn a wheel at the advance. One
manufacturer says: Pudding is changed
AMI this in the face of tho fact that
the leaders in the association CANAL
gamation) pledged themselves that if we
granted certain concessions a year ago
they would not ask an increase in pudding.
They have. it is true, made some changes
in their demands. They are changes,
rather than notifications, and with pud-
ding at sc don't amount to anything.
The present state of uncertainty seems
to effect every corner of the country where
iron is made or bought or sold.

MARSHALL seems to have fully made
up his mind to decline the Republican
nomination for congressman-at-large,
and his letter to that effect to the chair
man of the late Harrisburg convention
is to be published on the eve of the In
dependent convention in Philadelphia.
Whether this date was selected with a
view to the action of that body remains
to be seen. Marshall, who has for many
years been an avowed and active Gamer
on man, has not frequently participated
in politics, and only went to the state
convention in behalf of the nomination
of his nephew, Il. M. Brown, for su-
preme judge. Why he did not
make the ringing nomination speech
that was expected of him or otherwise
display himself has not been explained,
and for time this failure gave color to
the intimation that his nomination was
not SO spontaneous as it seemed. No
one, however, could have looked upon
the scene of his nomination without be-
ing impressed with the idea that it was
forced upon him, but if he had at the
time no idea of accepting it, there seems
to have been no good reason why he did
not decline it then and there. The Re
publican state committee will now have
to fill the ticket, and it will have
some embarrassment in doing so.
They need to strengthen their lines
in Pittsburgh and with the anti
Cameron element. 1t will he hard to
find representative of these ideas who
will accept the place which Marshall
declines especially will it be difficult to
do this if after Wednesday it should
look squally for the Cameron state
ticket.

AFTER TIE STORM.

After the rain the cool winds blow
Out from the gleamy west.
Tossing the naples to and fro,
locking the birdlings twittering low,
Down i'll their fieecy nests.
After the rain the pure winds blow
Soothing the brain to rest
Tanning alike Cares locks of snow
And the radiant curls that ripping flow
From the bright face looking west.
For the eyes Of youth see the daylight die
With the same hope kindled glance
With which they watch the reclining sky
At mOrningtide. from easements high.
And behold fair Dawn advance
After the tempest sweeps away
The blue and gold are given;
After Lifc's storms have had their sway
And sorrow ana pain lie dead tor aye,
COme1h the joys OF Heaven
May MOrr0n.

sirable end but there is nothing in his
career to indicate that he would not gladly
seize the same weapon, and use it as un-
scrupulously and as remorselessly as any
of his rivals ever did,. A party which pro-
poses in the name of civil service reform
to carry on pitiful squabhle for the spoils
and inscribes on its banner the name of
Mr. Blaine-in itself an insult to the cause
may have the fleeting success which au-
dacity and unscrupulousnesss can give,
but nothing more.
In recent public address Rev. Dr..
Storrs pointed out most forcibly the won-
derful development of scientific study in
this country. Just 80 years ago came the
dawn of scientific progress here. The first
scientific school was established in Troy
in 1926 the first scientific text book and
Audubon's first volume were published
between 1929 and 1881. In 1881 Professor
Henry demonstrated, at Albany, the pos
sibility Of communication by electricity,
and the next year Morse proved the posi-
bility of a writing telegraph. Chloroform
was discovered in New York in 1881, and
in 1886 the first active astronomical obser-
vatory in the United States was estab-
lished at Williamstown. The coast survey
began in 1882, and the phj jsical survey of
Massachusetts, was begun in the same
year. Up to 1850 astronomical instruments
were made in Europe. Now the finest
are made here. In 1850 Dr.. John Draper
invented method to photograph the
heavens. The greatest discovery of the
century in medical science-the use of
ether as an anesthetic-was made in 1916.

TmE postmaster general, in response to
a resolution Of the House, has sent a let
ter to the speaker in which he recommends
that the postage on second class matter
(papers and magazines) be abolished. He
also states that the fourth class matter
(mcrchandise) is carried at a loss to the
government, and if the government is to
be taxed for the transportation of either
class it should for the second-class instead
of the fourth. In concluding tho letter
the postmaster general says =" am led
to the conclusion that Congress may at
the present time safely abrogate all dis
elimination between subscribers to news
papers and magazines, and send the same
through the mails without charge,
whether such subscribers reside within
the county Of publication or outside of

The Record points out that Senators Da.
vies and Greer, OF the Cameron Republi-
can nominees, both, have two years to
serve in the state Senate. They had earned
recognition from those whom they faithful
ly served in the Senate, and in case of re-
lection they would have it in their power to
revenge themselves on their ancient allies.
Had Davies and Greer demanded these
nominations at the close of their senate
rial term instead of in the middle of it
they would have been thrown aside for
more popular candidates without the
slightest hesitation; but with two years
to serve, and with a chance of re election
to the Senate, they might give trouble to
the men who make nominations, and hence
the vigor with which they put in their
claims for places on the state ticket and the
readiness with which compliance was
yielded to their demands.
The New York Times forcibly reminds
the Independents of this state that they
cannot build up new party in this state
or even capture the old organization
simply to redress Blaine's local grievances.
The Tines thinks Blaine ID about as proper
and powerful representative of real re
form in this matter as the ex-Khedive of
Egypt would bc of the cause of Christian
marriage. He would unquestionably like
to see the patronage taken from the hands

Nothing TO Justify o Strike.

The failure of the mill owners at
Pittsburgh and the representatives of
the iron workers to agree upon future
rate Of wages is not certainly to he &C
cepted as final disagreement. The
points of difference seem to be too small
to justify the workingmen's representa-
tives in the Inauguration of strike, by
which they will be the greatest sufferers.
They cannot say that they are not now
being paid high rate of wages. 1t is
not their necessities which impel them
to ask an increase. They could only
have been inspired to ask for it because
they believed that they could get it.
Since it has been refused them, they
have but little reason, in the present con-
ditiOn of the iron trade, to think that
they can force from the mill owners by
strike what they will not concede from a
fear of it. Both capital and labor are
selfish each takes what it can get. The
iron workers are right enough to demand
higher wages if they can get them but
they would be foolish to demand what
they cannot get or what they have not
a reasonable assurance that they can
get. What reason they have for supposing
they can force the Pittsburgh iron man.
facturers to agree to their demand is not
obvious. The profits in the manufacture
are not large enough to render the pro-
prietors OF the mills very solicitouS
whether they run or shut down. A stop
page of the mills would probably work
an increase in the price CT manufactured
iron, and when the mills %;rt again it
would probably he with full order book 5
and good prices. Meanwhile the work
ingmen would bc paying the piper for
this dance of the manufacturers. The
movement would be at their expense.
They would bc silly to set Oh foot strike
under such circumstances, and we
greatly doubt, therefore, whether it will
come off as threat ened on the first Of
June.
