As discussion continues about the dispo-
sition of Johnstown relief funds, it is suggested
that the easiest and best way TO satisfy tne
public is for both the State Commission and
the Pittsburg Relief COMMITTEES to issue on-
cial itemized statements of the disbursements
up to the present time. These Statements
should embrace every bill of goods purchased,
Just as the Treasurer's books set them forth.
A DISPATCH reporter asked Treasurer W.
r. Thompson, of the Pittsburg Committee. yes
terday if he intended to prepare such detailed
statement. He had just returned from Johns
town, and said he understood 8. 8. Marvin was
preparing such a report to make to the commit
tee to-day. Mr.. Marvin, when seen subse-
quently by the writer. stated that he and sone
other gentlemen were looking over the DOCKS
for totals in the afternoon, but he had not pre-
pared any detailed report. That, he said, can
only be done after the accounts are audited,
and then 1t will take couple Of months TO
complete so elaborate report.
As showing the pluck OF Johnstown sufferers,
Mr.. Marvin allowed the reporter to copy the
following letter from a grocery firm, which he
received yesterday:
3. =. Marvin & Co.:
GENTLEMEN-We send check for board bill for
July $50 46). We are getting in better shape. and
as fast as we can get money In we will send IL to
the generous men who sent us goods to 20 ahead

mud, we would have been helpless but for the
great hearts of merchants and manufacturers.

have made bulldog effort to get up again; and
been done, but feel that we owe a great debt for
the generosity of the country.

There is every indication that the settlement
of the Homestead strike is satisfactory to all
concerned, and for the next three years the
Homestead mills will undoubtedly run along
as well as can be expected. Mr.. w. L. Abbott,
Chairman of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., yesterday
afternoon said:
I'VE are perfectly satisfied with the result Of
the conference. We made some concessions.
of course: we expected to. But we had our
sliding scale accepted, and, though not in its
entirety, still we gained few points. If the
workmen are pleased and they enjoy themselves
in consequence, l am very glad to hear It. be-
cause il is an evidence that they will go to
work in a spirit of satisfaction.
Regarding the men we have hired from
Dorner and Geisler, must say that everybody
who has any claim on us will get paid for the
time we hired them. and at the terms agreed
upon. The conditions under which we hired
them last week were unusual, and of course it
is only fair that We should pay them. They
will get their 81 day. as agreed upon"

THE MINERS MEET.
They Endcavor to Keep the Regular Price
of 8 Cents n BusheI.

of 8 Cents n BusheI.
The miners of the three lower pools assem-
bled yesterday afternoon at Dagg's Ferry to
establish uniform wages. The price adopted
and agreed to by the operators at the Miners
Convention last February is cents per bushel,
and this is the price to which the miners want
to stick. But, during the summer, when work
in mines is generally scarce, operators often in
duce men to work for less money, on the plea
that a small price is better than no work at all.
The miners do not think this fair, as it would
tend to bring wages down. TO settle that point
the meeting was called, and unanimous vote
in favor Of maintaining the cent price was
passed.
Mr.. John Flannery, talking on the subject
yesterday afternoon, said he felt sure the
miners would gain their point. Il have just
obtained a report from Jellico and Newcomb,
Tenn.," said Mr.. Flannery, (which states that
the miners IN that region have won a similar
fight, tn operators signing an agreement to
pay the men the cents all the year round.
Now this will have great weight in the lower
pools of the Monongahela."

Hold a Meeting.
The following telegram was received from
Columbus last night:
The representatives. Of the knights of Labor in
the Hooking Valley and the operators from that
section held meeting in this city to-day for the
purpose of coming TO an understanding IN regard
TO the promised reduction which was agreed upon
at the meeting in Pittsburg. when the Progressive
Union ignored and the knights were
cepted as preferable by the operators. The Pro-
gressive Union officers have been holding large
number of meetings the valley lately. and have
led the miners to believe they would be obliged to
suffer a reduction of wages owing to the promises
which had been made to the operators for a change
on July Is.
As a result of the meeting to-day IL was agreed
to issue an address 10 tile miners of the Hooking
Valley, stating that statistics collected and care
fully compared bore the operators out in their
claim that differential IN prices of daY labor
entry driving. etc., existed between the Hooking
Valley and competing districts in ohio. They
find the differential Is in favor of jackson, Tus-
carawas counties and few other places suffi-
GENTLY large TO warrant them in taking immediate
steps to bring up the places named TO the Hooking
basis, and thus give all competitors equal
right in the same market. They ask for co-opera-
tiOn I'm the work. and such assistance in advancing
the prices in the competing districts the miners
Of the valley can give them.
