THE FIRST GUN.
The Scale Presented and the La
Belle Refuses II.
A Strike Seems Inevitable and the Men Are
Firm-Secretay Martin Says the
Men Favor Free Trade
General.

The first gun, in the strike which now
seems inevitable, was fired yesterday. The
mill committee of the La Belle mill pre-
sented last years scale to the owners, who
refused to sign it. So far as could be
learned, no other mill has yet been pre-
sented with the scale. Now it is supposed
the mill.owners will offer their reduced
scale, and when that is refused by the
men, as they say they will,
THE ULrINArUM Is REACHED.
An impression crept out, probably from
the Jarrett interview published last week,
that by PreconCerted arrangement, the
scale would be presented in all the mills
today. But this, says last evenings Lead
er, lis incorrect, as no particular date IS
fixed for this form by the rules of the
workmen's association" The scale has
already been presented said Secretary
Martin this morning. Last year it was
signed by the conference committee on the
part of the manufacturers The same was
the case the year before" The questioner
was about TO ask how il would be signed
this year, but q movement made by the
Secretary toward q heavy ruler admonished

NEITHER MONEY NON LIFE,
Rut Good, square Blew In the Maa'

There was a great connection last even
ing in the vicinity of the Capitol, over
ramored attempt at highway robbery. IL
was said German citizen, while passing
the Linsly Institute, was seized by stran'
ger, who took ho'd of the lapels of his coat
and demanded in the approved Capt. Kidd
formula: Your money or your llte.'
The stranger is described as tail and strong
" made, with light hair and mustache
and wearing gum coat ana
hat. The German had neither money nor
life TO spare, but he had u sledge hammer
fist, which he drove with vigor full into
the face of The unknown, stretching him
upon the sidewalk. The Teuton did not
wait to see the result, but made oil at top
speed.
All this is supposed to have occurred
about O'Clock, aud the giving and re-
ceipt Of the blow was seen by two or three
little girls, who ran and pronounced the
thing fight. Nothing further could be
learned OF either German or his asSailant.
1t may and may not be true story.

Like all new enterprises, this association
has had its iniliatOry trials and obstacles
To overcome. some oil which were quite Sc
Iious. For instance it was found, among
other things, that although our Sta:e has
one OF the best framed laws in existence
for the protection of dumb animals, the
city Of Wheeling had no ordinance that
would enable its officers TO make arrests
under said laws and recourse had to he
looked for through the State officers only,
and here il was found that no provision
had been made for expenses above
a mere nominal fee of one dollar
for each arrest, which sum was
entirely inadequate to meet the
necessities OF any case. This seemed at
first to be almost an impossible barrier, but
il was finally overcome through the passage
Of the Cock Fighting ordinance, which
gave the city full control of the offenders,
and which will be promptly disposed OF in
the police court, instead OF being allowed
to die in the pigeon holes Of the county
court proceedings, which seems to have
been the history OF past cases. We would
therefore caution all teamSters, street car
drivers, butchers, cock and dog lighters
&c, to carefully read over the names Of
the officers OF the society, and, considering
their character, Judge Of the probable re-
suit Of an infringement Of their law. The

AN OFFICERS PETTY TRICK.

Capt. w. c. Gray, of the Iron Line, tells
the following story, at Louisville:
The whole facts are these: We hired a
negro here to go fireman on the boat. lie
went TO Pittsburgh with u.s. then to St.
Louis and back here, arriving Sunday.
Being clerk on the boat, he met me on the
bridge and told me he had quit the boat.
office and Ia give him his mouey-all the
boat owed him, all he demanded. He
didn't come TO the boat, but rushed up
town and sued the boat before the United
States Commissioner. | took friend, went
before the Commissioner, who had decided
the case before got there-whith was to
ray the negro and 800 costs besides.
Now, offered TO pay the negro anyhow,
but refused to pay $500 costs. Now, |
never refused TO pay the negro all | owed
him at any time. | didn't bring the suit,
and don't propose paying any court or
commissioner the sum OF $500 for allowing
him the unnecessary privilege OF suing the
boat. II isn't the price | look at; it's the
principle, and, Of course, took an appeal
OF the case, and will test it TO the bitter
end. | went there yesterday TO pay the
unjust demand. and was told that be-
sides paying what owed the negro, they
had sdded one more days wages 10 the
amount; wanted me 10 pay the three dol
lars for allowing the negro to sue the boat
and seven dollars more for some hin else.
So | concluded I'd better not go back any
more if they charged me at that rate, and
leave things as they were. Now, if there
is any justice or any law allowing a negro
to sue steamboat and making the boat
pay for it, all I've got to say is. hell is full
of all such law and justice as dished out
BY such officials as these Capt. Gray
proposes to make lively case ont Of it be-
fore he is done with it.

SECRETARY MARTIN TALKS.
East and west-wOrkmen Drifting
Toward Free Trade.


When Secretary Martin left this city
where he refused to talk, he went to Pitts
burg and talked column to the newspa-
pers there. Talking about tariff. he said:
TARIFF VIEWS.
THE tariff is the main argument used
by the manufacturers favOring reduction.
They also speak of wages in the East, but
that was answered three years ago by Mr..
Jarrett and has been answered this year.
The manufacturers claim that wages In
tie East are lower than here. That is true.
TIE highest price psid for pudding IS
! -, and that is given at Philadelphia
Tie mills outside of there pay the lowest
price, 3 - per ton. Ii q reduction was
made here, il would be but q short time
before a reduction would he made in the
East, and then the same argument now adj
yanCed w9uld be used again. Manufacture
eIS in Eastern mills can tell their employees
at hight time that a reduction will 20 into
effect the following day and the wOrkmen
will have to submit. They are not organ
lied there as we are here and cannot Otfer
opposition. There is another fact about
the last, and that is workman can accom-
pliSh the same amount Of work as here
and yet make more money in less time
than mill men at Pittsburgh, because the
work is easier.
THE ASSOCIATION REPORTED SOLID FOR FIGHT.
Our scale has been prepared. II is the
same as last year. There is not the least
dissatisfaction among the members OF the
association. | have not heard a single

ing TO a number of wOrkmen to day. They

this question from political standpoint.
The manufacturers say the new tariff ne
CtSsitates the reduction. WOrkmen seem
disposed to favor the free trade DemoC-
raCy.
But wouldn't voting for free trade
Democrats be cutting Oft their noses to
spite their faces? The manufacturers say
that the little reduction that has been
made !ateS reduction was inter-
posed.
Il cant help that. The wOrkmeu are
becoming disgusted. | believe that if the
manufacturers compel their employees 10
accept a reduction, a Democrat will be at
tine head OF this Govern neut the next four
years. The majority of the wOrSmen are
Republican, yet they will be willing to try
