CnrneEie's Scale ut Homestead Will Not be
Signed at Present.
It was reported yesterday that Carnegie
would win the fight at his immense plant at
Homestead, that is, his scale will be accepted
by the men. There are, the officials of the
Amalgamated Association say, 1900 men,
bers of that organization at Homestead di-
vided into six lodges. They cannot accept
any proposition made by their employer un-
less they leave the association or 1t is ac-
cepted by the association.
Several of the leading workers at Home
stead were in the Amalgamated Associa-
tion headquarters yesterday and none of
them reported any signs of weakness on the
part of the men. The officials of the organ
ization who were seen Yesterday said the
men would undoubtedly remain firm and
not sign any agreement until after the con-
vention of the association. which will be
held in this city, beginning June 4.
A leading official of the Amalgamated
Association said yesterday that he did not
believe the report that ], 600 men had con-
sented to accept Mr.. Carnegie's scale. Some
of them are willing to allow the scale to
run for three years, but not on the basis pro-
posed.
The Amalgamated Association officers
have nothing to say about the next scale of
wages. The two highest officials are about
to sever their connection with the assocta-
tion, and do not care to say anything about
it, as any statement they may make might
injure the organization.

GOALS DARKER SIDE.

Even MOnopolistic Advantages to be Ont
done by Bigger Monopoly In West VIr-
EiniH-Pessimism and Fuel.
To one who studies the vast-almost un-
limited-power of fexpansion in this country,
the power of monopoly that can strangle
competition appears SO colossal as to be
almost beyond belief A year ago last
winter q man whose business was the sup
plying of coal to rolling mills, glass houses,
etc., in this city, and who was knocked out
by natural gas, was asked why he didn't
load his flats, which would almost run on
heavy dew, and take coal to the freezing
people of the down-river cities, as, at 25 to
30 cents bushel, he could make money. He
replied that the heavy firms in the business
had so monopolized the landings that, even
at so cents bushel, it would cost him more
to deliver coal in Cincinnati than the profit
would cover. The statement did much to
destroy sympathy for the coal barons.
The river coal trade cannot probably be
taken away from Pittsbnrg; but, according
to Mr.. Kimberland, if Pittsburg holds her
railway coal trade very long, she must hustle
as she has never hustled.
The completion of the McKeesport and
Bellevernan Railway will open up section
of West Virginia, where land has been pur-
chased by operators, some of it as low as $40
an acre, and that land is underlaid with
coal veins to II feet in thickness. Just
think for q moment what a mass of coal a
miner can drop in such thickness by little
bearing in. 1t can be mined cent bushel
cheaper than Pittsburg coal, and there will
be no necessity for pluck-me stores to keep
miners in debt
Then the surface of that land will, much
of it, yield 10000 feet an acre of valuable
timber. Just think of the @sophageal ex-
tension that the monopolIstic anaconda
must have to absorb competition in such a
district
Flats are now laden to the gunwales in
the Allegheny river with pit posts for which
there is at present no sale. A country with
such resources is able to supply all the mar
kets of the world with manufactured pro-
ducts at prices that might be made to defy
competition for centuries to come.

SECRETARY RUSK PASSES THROUGH.
The Office Seekers Are to be Blamed 70
the Slow Appointments.

The Office Seekers Are TO be Blamed for
the Slow Appointments.
Secretary jeremiah Rusk, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, passed through the
city last evening on his way home to Wis
consin from Washington. He was accom-
panied by his family, all of whom were 60
ing back to their old homestead to visit
their neighbors, for the first time since they
have been in Washington. Personally, the
old Ex-Governor does not look like the man
who would be at the head of the Hayseed
Department of the Government. His snowy
white hair and beard, his massive head and
high forehead, give him the appearance Of
a scholar, who would probably be the occu-
pant OF noted seat of learning.
While at the station the Secretary spoke
of the affairs Of his department and the slow
progress the President and his assistants are
making in turning the rascal out" He
said:
In the matter of appointments, the President
does not seem to be in a hurry, but it is the
fault of the office seekers themselves Why
you have no idea the way they swarm about
Washington. They bore and bother the life
out of us and we are unable to do ANYTHING.
We recognize the fact that We are public SER
wants and the public have some claim to our
attention. Therefore we try to see everybody
They rush into the departments, and there are
SO many of them that they take up most of
our time. On this account it is impossible to
do any work Until the office seekers quit
running around bothering the lives out of those
who have the appointment powers, the present
gait of making removals will not be quickened.
We have not really reorganized the Depart
ment of Agriculture yet, but expect to render
good service to the farmers and others inter-
ested. We will devote more attention to the
dairy interests and dairy products in the near

IT WAS CHANGED.
The Allegheny COuncilmen Altered That
Crosst0wn Ordinance.

The Allegheny COuncilmen Altered That
Crosstown Ordinance.
The Allegheny Street Railway Committee
met last night to take action on the or.
dinaHce of the "Crosstown" branch of the
Observatory Hill Railway. The committee
were favorably disposed toward the road, but
almost every section of the ordinance was
changed in some particular.
By resolution it was taken up by sections.
Section was changed, substituting sys-
tenn of overhead electric lines or such other
system as may hereafter be approved by the
Street Railway Committee or councils in
stead of animal power or cables. This Sec
tion also contained clause relative to the
putting down of single or double tracks at
the company's option, and this was amended
to read provided no double track be placed
on any street less than 40 feet'wide."
The same section also contained the pro-
posed route, a change from the original. As
it now reads the route is as follows: "Be-
ginning at the tracks of the Federal Street
and Pleasant Valley Railway, on the corner
of Federal street and Montgomery avenue,
to Arch street, to jackson street, to Monte
rey street, to Ackley street, to Irwin avenue,
to Sedgwick street, to California avenue, to
Superior avenue. Also on Irwin avenue,
from Ackley street to Taylor avenue, to
Monterey street, and there connect with the
tracks of the Federal Street and Pleasant
Valley Railway"
Section 2 was amended to contain the
clause: ''The rail to be used to be approved
by the City Engineer"
Section 4 was changed in regard to the
grade of streets. The original provided for
the road to follow the streets in conformity
to the streets as now at grade, and it was
amended to read ''or that may hereafter be
changed"
. Section was changed, providing for the
work to be commenced in 60 days after the
passage of the ordinance and for the COM
pletion of the entire road in one year.
Section was added to the original ordi-
nance providing for the payment of a per-
centageo on dividends, taxes and bonus on
cars as provided for in the ordinance of the
Federal street and Pleasant Valley Rail-
way, of which this ordinance is supple
ment.
The sections were adopted as amended
separately, and then the ordinance as a
whole was adopted and ordered to be printed
for the use of Councils.

A Public Investigation to be Held on the
Importation of Foreign GIassworkers.
The Trades Council of Western Pennsyl-
vania held a special meeting last night and
received a recommendation from the Exec
utive Board that the investigation of the
window glass charges be heard publicly
before board. The recommendation was
adopted and the council elected Dennis
Hayes, of the Bottle Blowers Assembly
No Gill, and William j. Smith, President
of the American Flint Glass Workers As
soc1ation, as their representatives on the
court.
Two of the strikers from Duquesne were
admitted aud made statement of the pbsi-
ton at the steel works from their side.
They explained the trouble from the Begin
ming and gave comparative schedules of
wages. They asserted that an inspector of
rails from the Hudson River Railroad was
at the works and he had said that since the
strike began not a rail had been made that
stood the test. No action was taken in the
matter, it being postponed until next satur-
day night.
F. A. Buer, of Brass Workers Assembly
1710; William Creamer, of Theatrical AS
sembly 10,604, and A. T. Hornett. of

The Diamond Street Ordnance Moved
Along a Little-What IL Provides-An
Arcade Through the Market House.
The Committee on Surveys met in the
City Clerks Office yesterday afternoon. The
ordinance for the opening and widening OF
Diamond street from Smithfeld street to
the west side of the market house was af-
firmatively recommended to Councils. The
ordinance provides for 50-foot street and
an arcade through Old City Hall and the
market house Of the same width. 1t was
stated that tn eproject for widening the street
from the market house to Liberty street had
been abandoned for the present on account
of opposition from the property holders.
Numerously signed petitions from prop
erty holders for the relocating and widening
of Fourth avenue, between Boyd and Try
streets, and Forbes, between Boyd and
Diamond streets, were present, and the
clerk was ordered to draw up ordinances for
the same.
D. B Oliver, Of the firm of Oliver Bros.
& Phillips, was present and addressed the
committee in interest of two ordinances sent
In by that tlrm. One was Tor the vacation
Of Virgin alley, between South Eleventh
and South Twelfth streets, and the other for
the vacation of South Eleventh street, from
Muriel street to the Monongahela river. Mr..
Oliver said that many large manufacturing
concerns had been compelled, owing to a
lack Of room. to go to the suburbs and pnde-
veloped tracts in different parts of the State.
His firm was now in position where it was
necessary to have more room, and
they did not desire to leave the city.
Here were two streets. leading nowhere
and used by no one but his firm, who owned
all the property on both sides of them. No
one ever used these streets, or the portion of
them in question, and they were practically
useless to the city. Oliver Bros. & Phillips
desire to make some improvements in which
they can use these streets to good advantage,
and they promise, if necessity ever requires,
to give them up again to the city, if Coun-
ellis see fit to vacate them.
After some consideration the committee
afirmatively recommended both ordinances.

A WHOLESALE DISCHARGE.

Manager Mcdonald, of the p. g. W. r. R.,
is Cutting Down Expenses.
General Manager Mcdonald has been
cutting down the force of men on the Pitts
burg and Western road About one-third
of the 100 men in the, Allegheny shops were
discharged. Mr.. Soles, who had 52 men
under him in the bodybuilding depart
ment. had his force cut down to 20 men.
Two clerks will go from Treasurer Camp
BELLS Office; General Passenger Agent Bas-
sett lost his stenographer. Four clerks each
were discharged in the auditors and car
accountants offers. It is estimated that
not less than $50 men have been laid off on
the road.
An effort was made to see Mr.. Mcdonald,
the new General Manager, but it was stated
that he had gone on a tour of the road.
Last night DISPATCH reporter called at
the depot iu Allegheny and saw a number
of the employees. They all seemed to be
afraid to talk on the subject, and would not
affirm or deny anything. One of them said
that Mr.. Mcdonald was not out on the road,
but could be seen at his boarding house. He
could not, or would not give this new
functionary's address, however, and Mr..
Mcdonald could not be found.
A friend of Manager Mcdonald, of the
Pittsburg and Western road, stated last
evening that the object in reducing the
force on the line is to cut down the payroll
from $4,000 per month to $4,000. He
claimed that no wages had been reduced,
and this was not the intention.
The chiefs of the departments are now
greatly hampered for want of help. The
various general agents are tied down to
their desks, doing the work that clerks per-
form in other railroad Offices, but Manager
Mcdonald is said to be carrying out the In
structions of Vice President Thomas. The
latter will be in the city tomorrow Rhen.
more heads may be cut off,
The new manager is very angry at Super
intendent johnson, resigned. He thinks
the late Superintendent did not act square,
ly. The employees of the road will give
banquet at the Seventh Avenue Hotel next

ALLEGHENY COUNTY KICKS.

Not Collected.

1t Proposes to Make the City of PittsburE
nay Costs-MunicipaI Liens Filed and
Not Collected.
Prothonotary Bradley yesterday insti-
tuted suit in Common Pleas Court No. to
determine whether or no Allegheny county
shall do some SAC, 900 worth of work for the
city of Pittsburg for nothing, the suit being
largely remanet or legacy Of that abortive
Legislation known as the Penn avenue i'm
provement act.
The suit is to determine whether the city
is liable for the cost of filing municipal liens
where the liens are not pushed to fnality.
Many liens have been filed, many hundreds
of them by the city against property for i'm
provements made and no effort ever made to
collect them. Where exc cution has been
had in a case the costs have been collected,
but the city has not rendered payment in
cases which it has allowed to lie dormant
and the number of such necessitates de-
cision. The City Attorney holds that the
city is not liable until the lien is satisfied,
when the property is made pay them.
Mr.. Bradley becomes party to the suit
in his capacity as Prothonotary. The
Sherif's attorney, Mr.. Petty, concluded that
Mr.. Bradley was the proper man to repre-
sent the county by virtue of his Office, as
these costs, if collected at all, must be by
him.
Mr.. Bradley states that the amount of
costs to be collected is not nearly so great as
it appears at first view, as the amount cited
for the December term of 1888, nearly
Sc, 900, included collectors and attorneys
fees, sci ias having been issued. In the
cases on which suit has been brought only
the earnings of the Sheriff's and Prothono-
tary's offices will be charged Mr.. Bradley
states that it is true that the act of Assembly
provides that costs shall not be collected
until settlement of the lien; but the Sheriff's
attorney holds that IN this respect the act is
unconstitutional, as the Legislature has no
power to make the county work tor the city
for nothing.
The Prothonotary stated that he hadn't
made a computation of the amount of costs
involved, but supposed it would be about
$40, 900. There have been no liens filed
since May II, 1887.
A large number of liens will not hold
water, as they have been filed against the
wrong parties under the loose system pre-
vailing, and to correct which title hunters
contended liens should be revived every
five years, so that innocent purchasers
should not be held for taxes assessed against
non-owners.

il May Be Made Part of Ore Great Cable
System to Allegheny.
President John H. Dalzell, of Pittsburg,
Allegheny and Manchester Street Railway
Company, has, with three or four other
capitalists, bought, for about S2OO, 900, the
property and franchise of the Transverse
Passenger Railway Company, extending
from the B. & o. depot to Sixteenth street,
in the old city proper, and thence across the
bridge to the terminus of the road at the
stables on Spring Garden avenue, ALE
gheny.
1t is conjectured that this is to become an
electric or cable line and be operated as a
part OF the Trans-Allegheny line, extending
from the Smithfeld street bridge to Spring
Garden avenue in one direction, and, in
another, out Sherman avenue to Marion
svenne, by Ridge, and thence BY a route
laid out to the bridge over CHARTERS street
and the Fort Wayne tracks to California
avenue, and thence to Superior avenue.
