THEY WANT OUR OPINIONS.
Know All About CASA Letter That
Pitches into PittsburR Companies.

Dayton Citizens Rightly Think That We
Know All About CASA Letter That
Pitches into PirtsburR Companies.
Mayor McCallin yesterday received let
ter from the Mayor of Dayton, O., request
ing information as to the uses and abuses of
natural gas as used here The City Coun-
ellis of Dayton last year granted to the Dayton
Gas Company the privileges of the city streets
for natural gas pipe laying
The agreement was that the company should
furnish gas to everybody at tmee-fourths the
cost of coal. The company began to lay its
pipes to the wells so miles distant. They laid
but 80 miles of pipe within the limit of time
given them. They asked 40 days grace but the
City Council held them to their contract. They
refused to permit the company to connect its
line with the pipes laid in the CITY, unless the
company would agree to reduce the price of
gas which was stipulated in the contract The
company replied that they could not afford to
do so.
Councils then sent committee to visit sew
eral gas cities, to learn what the arrangements
were with the gas companies. Pittsburg was
the most important point of observation.
In the letter the Philadelphia and the Allie
gheny Heating Companies come in for very
large share of condemnation. Both are re-
ferred to as 'monopolies." and are charged
with having e increased @ the 3D. price OF gas far
pany is reported to have declared dividend of
1O per cent on its capital stock for the year
ending March 81, 1888, but as the capital stock
was not paid up. the dividend really amounted
to from 40 to so per cent This, it is alleged by
the committee, IN face of the fact that the
rates to consumers were then one-third less
than now and the company spending large
sums for improvements and betterments. The
movement of Allegheny citizens against the
natural gas rates was reviewed.
1t is stated in the letter that the business
men of Dayton are not in sympathy with the
action of the City Councils They ask for reliable
statement of good authority on the uses and
abuses of natural gas in this city, and an
opinion on the report of the Council commit
tee, which they evidently do not believe.

PARDONED FROM THE PEN.

John Powell, of the AmaIgamnted Associn.
ton, to be Released To-day.
The pardon of John Powell, who is serv-
ing term in the Western Penitentlary,
was we'll received by the members of the
Amalgamated Association, of which he was
a prominent member. Mr.. Powell will leave
the institution to-day, having served six years
of nine years sentence for felonious assault
and battery.
The pardoned man was member of Brad
dock lodge, now defunct. He and two others
were charged with entering an old mans house
at Turtle Creek for the purpose of robbery,
but were detected by the owner, who was as
saulted and badly beaten. Three men were
arrested and tried before Judge Kirkpatrick
Evidence was brought out at the trial that
Powell had been in William Reese's house on
Liberty street. on the night of the assault, and
could not possibly have been implicated in the
affair."
Nothing was done in the matter by the Anal
gamated Association or any labor organization
until last July, when the case was brought up
at meeting of the Trades Assembly. John

Board. They succeeded in getting the
signatures of eight of the jurymen who

the only claim made in the proceedings being
that the sentence was unusually severe. All
his friends, however, believe he is innocent
Secretary Martin expressed himself as very
well pleased with the result and will endeavor
to get the man position in one of the mills.
The pardon will, arrive this morning and

MARTIN ON THE STEEL COMBINE.
The Secretary of the AmaIgamated Thinks
il Will Reduce Wages,

The Secretary of the Amalgamated Thinks
it Will Reduce Wages.
Secretary Martin, of the Amalgamated
Association, will express his opinion of the
steel rail combination in the editorial columns
of the Labor Tribune this week. He will
say:
If the rumor of the proposed consolidation Of
the three large steel rail mills in 1llinois-North
Chicago Rolling Mil Company, which includes
South Chicago mills, Joliet Steel Company and the
Union Steel Company-materializes 1t will simply
make the fight for orders between the consolidated
firms and their more fortunate competitors more
keen in the future than 1t has been in the past 1t
will reduce competition in that State Illinois, to
a minimum, and therefore leave the State untram-
meled and free within Its BORDERS to compete with
gigantic bine, backed up by capital stock of
s25 0Oo OOo will outrival its most formidable COM
since the latter has such great advantage over
the former in the single but important Item OF
cheap fuel.
Rather than advance the selling price of their
product, the consolidation (unless q syndicate Of
all steel mills is formed) will tend to reduce it. as
deal, with that shrewd business man, D. W. Pot
ter, at its head. will cut deep in order to secure
are most affected and Interested in the proposed
new order of things. This will applyt to the work
men in all the steel rail mills East and West. II
competition is carried on to the extent that the
combine would indicate, it means diminished
profits. no matter what new appliances or i'm
provemenJs are introduced, and, as is customary,
the workmen will be drawn upon to make up the
d1fference by reducing their wages.
By some this may be considered little previous.
but long experience in trade matters has taught
us that nothing short of a thorough consolidation
on the part of the in all the mills and the es-
will prevent the reducing of their wages as here
in indicated. If the proposed combine is consum-
mated time will tell how near we are in our pre-
d1ct1ons. In the meantime the workmen Will do

EXPELLED FOR COWARDIOE.
A Prominent Lodge of the Amalgnmafed
Association is Fired by President Weine
This Week.

Prominent Lodge of the Amalgnmatea
Association is Fired by President Weihe
This Week.
O'Leary Lodge No. Z, ofthe Amalgsmated
Association, has been expelled for cow
ardice. and President Weihe has revoked
their charter. This lodge was composed OF
iron and steel workers employed at the
Wheeling steel plant at Benwood, W. Va.
The trouble at this mill will be remem-
bered. Last June the firm refused to
recognize the Amalgamated Association
scale, but signed one presented
by the Local Assembly of N. 7. U. 2l7, K. OF
L. This scale was rejected by the amalgamated
men who claimed it was lower than their scale.
The firm finally refused to recognize any labor
organization, but announced that they would
employ all the men needed at their works, as
individuals, and pay as high wages as are paiu
at any other mill.
At meeting of O'Leary lodge it was decided
TO accept the proposition, but number OF men
voted against it. A meeting OF the ExecutiVe
Board of the Second district was held and the
following action was taken:
:, Resolved, That the strike be declared of; and
the Executive Committee request the Presloent
of the National Lodge to revoke the charter OF
said lodge for cowardice, there being no attempt
made by the company to start the mill or TO DflnG
other men to work in said mill, 1t being clear
case of 'tsquea'' before they were hurt there Pc
ing no excuse for them, not one of them, being
able to say they were in stratened circumstances.
Resolved, That the members of said lodge who
voted to continue the strike be granted cards by
the National Lodge and be commended for the
part they took in trying to maintain the rules OF
the association. and that we condemn the action
of those voting to 20 to work for the cowardtce
shown by them during the. strike, and that their
names be put on record.
The desired action was taken this week by
President Weihe, and the charter of the lodge
has been recalled. The members of the lodge
who voted against returning to work will be
granted cards which will entitle them to work
in any Amalgamated Association mill in the
country

THE MONON CONDEMNATION.

Viewers Spend n Day at Lock No. 5-The
Masonry Found Infcrior-They Will
Meet Again in This City on April 3.
The Monongahela navigation delegation
that left this city Wednesday afternoon to
view lock and dam No. Z. about 90 miles up
the river, arrived in Monongahela City last
night at 10 o'clock
They had reached the lock at O'Clock
yesterday morning, and spent considerable
time in examining it in all its details. To sat
isfy their curiosity they then proceeded l6
miles further up the river, to see lock and dam
No. s, which is now being constructed by the
Government. After viewing this dam, which
is to cost $780, 900, the viewers organized elect
ing John Sullivan Chairman and George A.
Kelly Secretary, and took the preliminary
testimony of William Bakewel Treasurer of
the Navigation Company, which developed
nothing new. The masonry of lock and dam
No. Twas apparently very inferior in quality
and not of the most substantial character.
One of the disinterested gentlemen who was
with the party, and who is thoroughly familiar
with the condition of the company's affairs
and future prospects, said last night that had
the Navigation Companys business. which
suffers more and more each year by reason of
the. construction of railroad lines along the
river. would have decreased so alarmingly that
the company would willingly accept any reas-
enable proposition the Government might
make.
As it is, however, bitter local fight will fol-
low the Governments action in this case. The
viewers adjourned to meet In this city on April
at o'clock.

The General Alex. Hays Post No. 8, G.
A. R., gave their annual reception and en-
tertainment yesterday evening at the Forbes
street Turner Hall.
The latter was tastefully decorated with
the national bunting, and also that of foreign
countries. Anotlceable feature was a series of
bannerets. each bearing the name of one State
in the Union, making very neat display. The
first part of the entertainment consisted of a
comedy entitled THE Jerseyman," under the
direction of j. c. Kober. and an audience OF
about 500 witnessed the rise of the curtain.
The comedy was well presented and equally
well received as it succeeded in entertaining
the audience until 1880, when dancing became
the order of the evening although the old war
horses would have it-'order of the day."
Supper was served in the basement dining
rooms, and the Great Western Orchestra. un-
der the leadership of Prof. Weiss, tuned their
harps" for the lovers of the dance.
The entertainment was great financial sue
cess several hundred having been netted by
the Post. although the exact amount cannet
yet be determined.
