ANOTHER MEETING OF MINERS.
A Committee Appointed to Arbitrate With
the COaI Operators.

A COMMITTEE Appointed to Arb1trate With
the Coal Operators.
A joint meeting of the delegates of all the
Western Pennsylvania miners who are on
strike was held yesterday afternoon in Rup-
pies Hall. A committee from the operators,
composed of F. L. Robbins and Alexander
Dempster, was present for the purpose of de-
termlning what the miners intend to do. They
discussed the matter with the delegates, but
made no propositions in regard to settlement
of the strike.
W. T. Lewis, Secretary Of the N P. o., was
present and made an address.
A number OF new arguments as to why the
operators could afford to pay the scale price
"a cents all the year-were expressed The
representatives from the operators said they
would not pay more than what they had agreed
upon among themselves-7f1% for the first six
months and 7611 for the balance of the year.
After much discussion on both sides, a COM
mittee was appointed to wait upon the opera
tors and ask them what arbitration proposition
they could agree upon.
The miners claim they will meet the opera
tors halfway. When it comes to making over
lures or taking the first step to settle the strike
both sides draw off and wait until some move is
made by the other crowd. Another meeting
will be held to-day when it is expected that
something may be compromised upon.

AGAINST EIGHT-HOUR RULES.
typographical Union No. the First to Re.
fuaa IN Tndorsa Tr

typographical Union No. = the First to Re-
fuse to Indorse 1t.
The first negative report upon the eight
hour law by labor organization has been
made. The reasons given are very good
ones, and notwithstanding the fact that every
wage-worker would like to see the eight-hour
rule adopted by all trades, the members of this
organization do not allow their enthusiasm to
overrule their conservatism. At the last meet
ing of Typographical Union No. z the matter
was discussed, in order to give the delegations
to the annual convention in June an inteli-
gent idea of how they should vote upon the
matter when it came up in Que form.
At the meeting of No. 2 it was decided that it
would be impolitic on the part of the COM
positors of this city to indorse the measure. No
instructions were given the delegates, but they
will be allowed to use their own judgment in
the matter and be guided by the action of their
local union.
The primary reason for refusing to indorse
the law is that it would not be put into effect
all over the country. The members of No. 7
say the nine-hour law was disastrous failure
two years ago, ana there is no hope bat that
the eight-hour rule will follow in the wake of
its predecessor.

ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT.
East End People Resolve to Commend
Judge Whites Course.

Judge Whites Course.
The temperance people of the East End
met last evening and Endorsed Judge White
in the following series Of resolutions:
WHEREAS, An honored citizen Of this county,
who has once and yet again been elevated by the
sufrages OF his fellow citizens to one of the most
important and responsible Offices in their gift, has
been attacked for exercising as his own convfc-
tions of duty dictated through sound discretion,
vested in him by the law, in reference to the issu-
ance of licenses to sell liquor: and
Whereas We believe that this attack has been
dictated by those who were disappointed in the
result OF their application for license; and
Whereas, We look upon this attack effort
to intimidate the judiciary and as an effort to work
out an unworthy desire for revenge upon Judge
White and TO hold him to public opprobrIum; now
be IL
Resolved, That we have the utmost confidence
in the integrity, honesty and ability of Judge
White. We believe that he has faithfully, hon
estly, conscentiously and fearlessly discharged
his duty in the License Court; that we indorse
and approve his course therein. and that we
pledge him our full confidence and earnest sup
port.
Addresses were made by the Revs. Core,
Westphall and Wilson. They highly COM
mended the Judges course.

At the Miners Convention held at Mo-

Resolved, That we refuse to mine coal for
less than cents per bushel and semi-monthly
pays. We reqaest all miners to stay away from

after we will do all in our power to have the
trade tax collected at the several mines at
which we NAV chance to work.

1t used TO be the custom, and is now In
many localities TO "beat down" 10 al
trades with storekeepers and merchants
An amusing example of this practice ii
given below:
ln the old haggling way of trade it was
customary to demand great deal more
thon the asker hoped to get. One time, on
the Texas frontier, man came into a
camp riding on an old mule.
How much for the mule? asked . by
stsnder.
Jist q hundred dollars, answered the
rider
I'll give you five dolla-s, said the 9th
or.
The rider stopped short. as il in amt 70
ment, and then dismounted,
Stranger, said he. l ain't a.goin to let
little matter OF ninety five dollars stand
between me and mule trade. The mules

Another story, somewhat OF the same
sort. is related of an old tenant farmer who
on paying his rent told his landlord that
he wanted some timber to build a house
and would be much obliged il he would
give him permission to cut down what
would answer for the purpose
MOI said the landlord, sharply.
Well then, sir, the farmer went on will
you give me enough TO build barn2

Yes.
That's oil wanted, said tho frrmer, and
more than / expected.
