THAT TROUBLE AT DUQUESNE.
Steam Was Raised In Every Department q
the Mill Yesterday.

Steam Was Raised In Every Department of
the Mill Yesterday.
The disorder at Duquesne Sunday wbs
followed by comparative quiet yesterday.
An undercurrent of excitement prevailed,
however, that augured i'll for any new men who
might put in an appearance. Fifty-nine men,
including few skilled mechanics, were at
work within the inclosure, and for the first
time since the strike was ordered steam was
seen issuing from the pipes in every depart
ment and almost every wheel was in motion.
The strikers attach no significance to this, nor
to the fact that three rails were turned out
during the morning. The reports of last
nights trouble differ greatly.
An eyewitness says that when the midnight
train reached Homestead about $50 men
boarded it. They at once started a fight with
% Italians who were on their way to Duquesne.
One of the Italians was hit on the head by an
unknown man. The "dago" pulled revolver
and started through the car fourishing it. He
was induced to give the weapon up finally, and
it was turned over to Conductor Cook, who
gave it to Detective Wheatley, of the Pennsyl-
vania Company.
After the Homestead men had passed through
Italians on board a blow, they left, with the
exception of six or seven who proceeded to
DuQuesne with the newcomers.
When Oliver station was reached the for
eigners were SO badly frightened that they re-
fused to get off. Finally a half dozen of them
were induced to leave the train, and they
started on a run for the mill. They were
stopped before they reached the works bysome
of the strikers. but were permitted to go
through the gate after the deputies ordered
the strikers to stand aside and let them pass.
The Italians who remained on the train were
taken up TO Risher station, three miles above
Oliver. and put Off
Notwithstanding the reports of the strikers
to the contrary clerk at the mill said that
fully 200 men were now at work and that they
had made between two and three carloads of
rails yesterday. All heats were blown success
fully and that within the next "a hours there
would be so more men at work. Three Italians
were arrested to-day on suspicion of being the
parties who assaulted the man Fink.
Arrangements have been made to erecta large
store inside the enclosure, and carload of
lumber was unloaded this evening for that pur-
pose The steel company received so cots and 90
comforts on the evening train, which were
taken into the mill. At a late hour last night
guards were stationed all around the steel
works yard. 1t is thought they have been
placed there by the strikers.

OUT OF DEBT.
The Annual Report of the Wheeling Natural
Gas Company.

The Annual Report of the Wheeling Natural
Gas Company.
The business of the Wheeling Natural
Gas Company during the last year was bet
ter than ever before. According to the re-
port submitted yesterday by Mr.. w. ]. Diehl,
the secretary of the company, at the annual
meeting in Wheeling. there is no debt unpro-
vided for; but net surplus of 1920 is in the
treasury. What will be done with that will be
decided by the board at their first meeting.
There is as yet divided opinion on the subject
whether dividend should be declared or the
money should be laid by.
From the financial statement it appears that
the company's total earnings during last year
were S185, ,00O. They operate Il, 1884 acres of gas
territory and have 12S miles of pipe line and Is
producing wells. During last year 5 400 acres of
new territory were purchased in Washington
county, adjoining the Taylorstown field The
election of the Board of Directors resulted as
follows:

c. Elliot, l.. H. Williams T. II. Given. q. L.
Magee, J. N. Mech, Henry Fisher, A. f. Keating
j. 81. Hobbs, Edwin BindleY. The board will or
ganize next SATURDAY..
The board reports that the contract system
has long been recognized as an unjust and un-
equal way of selling and consuming natural gas,
and that the meter system will be substituted
just as fast as possible without injustice to the
consumer

PENITENT LUMBER DEALERS.
A BlackIIsted Firm Making Overturesto the
PittsburR Men.

The members of the Allegheny County
Lumber Dealers Association have received
a circular from a well-known firm doing bust
ness in Cleveland, who were blockaded and
boycotted by the dealers of this city for the
past two years. The firm has repeatedly sold
their lumber to contractors and consumers and
have refused to stop the practice. This hurt
the business of the dealers here. and they
would not sell to anyone doing business with
the Cleveland firm.

contractors If the dealers here patronize them,
In case the lumbermen of Pittsburg refuse to
do the latter the firm say they will make il hot
for them by selling below the figures OF the Al
legheny county dealers At the next meeting
Of the association the matter will be acted
upon.

is A GAUGER NEEDED /?
An Oil Man Tells Why He Thinks Not-some
Pertinent Points Upon Taxing Products
for Export Trade.

1t is generally known, perhaps, that the
principal opponents of the Office of City
Gauger in Pittsburg are the petroleum re-
fners, though of course any manufacturers
called on to contribute are more or less of the
same. state Of feeling. 1t has already been
stated that there is no other Office of its kind
in the United States, but there are some feat
ures that have not been dwelt upon.
The office doesn't bother grocers very much.
as they have but little that is gauged; but, said
a refiner:
sit is cents barrel tax on every barrel of
oil we refine, and the gauge isn't of any use to
us on all the stuff we ship. Neither Cincinnati
nor any other city pays any attention to the
Pittsburg City Gauger's brand; and yet. if we
want to send refined petroleum to any part of
the country, or the world we must pay the
gauger cents on each barrel four-fifths of
which go to the official alone.
1--WE don't object to paying it on oil taken by
the city trade; but the Government doesn't tax
exports, and why should Pittsburg? The tax
just puts us in Pittsburg to that amount of dis
advantage incompeting with refineries in other
places. In the West a buyer may demand
gauge and he may be obliged to pay for it, but
that is matter between the parties dealing"
