LABOR NOTES.
sIreet-Car Troubles Threatened az
PftfaburR

PITrsBURG, Pa, March 9.-There Is
every indication that serious trouble
between the street car employees and
their employers is imminent and that
a strike may be inaugurated any day.
Recently r number of employees of the
Birmingham line were discharged. A
committee Of the Knights of Labor,
who claim the men were relieved
from duty because they were members
of that organization, called upon the
officers OF the road and made re-
quest that the men be reinstated,
which was refused. The committee
then withdrew TO convene an execu-
tive committee of the order as soon as
possible. Last night nm all night ses-
sion OF the employees of the Allegheny
lines was held in that city, The pur-
poses OF the meeting or the action
taken is not known. In speaking OF
the trouble prominent Knight of
Labor said to-day that no orders to
strike had been issued, Everything
was in readiness, however, TO stop the
cars at minutes notice. "You can
depend upon it, said he, "the strike
will come, and when it is ordered it
will be for twelve hours work a day
with forty minutes for dinner" II is
estimated that 1900 men are now em-
ploycd on the various lines.
II has just been learned that at the
secret meeting of the street railway
employees last night $50 conductors
and drivers, representing all the lines
in the two cities but two, were pres
ent. Nodeinite action was taken, but
il was decided to hold another meet
ing in a few days, when it is expected
the employees Of the two companies
still out win Join the organization.
