Envious. and No Wonder.

1t took us just five years to attain the
prominence we have reached in the eyes OF
the Pittsburg public. Our rivals--we don't
recognize them as competitors-blow hard
and long of the big bargains they show in
mems suits, and since we started advertising
our $40 suits, they follow like sheep in our
footsteps. It's clear case of jealousy.
We've proved our genuine worth to one and
all, and now that it's conceding the P. c. c
c. name ''the lowest prices for fine clothing. %
we mean to hold on tight and retain the grlp
we purchased only after using liberal sup
ply of pure American grit and downright
hard work. Come and see the four big bar
gains we show to-day. No. is mems suits
at $40, sold elsewhere at SIS; No. 2 is nobby
children's suits at 50 and s.; No. 3 is men s
stylish pants at So so, and No. 4 is a big
thing in derbys for men at slim five new
shades P. c. c. G., cor. Grant and Dia-

Cable Roads.


A Times reporter called at the offices Of the
Grand Avenue Cable Company yesterday to
ascertain the life of the cable in Kansas City.
Regarding the matter Chief Engineer DozieI
said: Probably the hardest line in this city on
cable ropes is our W alnut line which hauls
both the Fifteenth street and Westport cars.
On October 26 we put in a rope manufactured
by the Broderick & Bascom Company, of st.
Louis, which lasted LA days, making mileage
of l6, AL miles. This showed a gain over the
rope previously used (which was manufactured
at Trenton. n. J.) of 6377 miles, which is 80 per
cent longer, and, assuming the cost of the cable
to be s., 400, made saving of 81 ZIG.
"The Broderick & Bascom rope has proven
more satisfactory than any we have used on our
Walnut street line, and consider it the best.
and therefore the cheapest, rope manufactured" 7"
Referring to the above, a member of the firm
stated to a reporter of this paper that, while
the record in Kansas City was excellent, their
best record was in st. Louis. On the Olive
street line rope of their make, a 500feet long,
is now running on its fourteenth month, has
never stranded or given the road any trouble
whatever. This road runs trains of two coaches
and a grip, night and morning. and the cars are
nearly always crowded. The wire rope made
for the Citizens road in St Louis has been in
service now very nearly three months longer
than any other rope they used.
Some time ago very interesting competitive
test of cable ropes took place on the line Of the
Cincinnati Street Railway Company Twenty
seven thousand feet of rope were spliced to.
gether and put in service, half of which, or 49,
500 feet, came from the Broderick & Bascom
factory and the other half from that of one of
their competitors. The other rope wore out
and had to be renewed three months before the
St LOUIS rope showed the least break. Nothing
could be fairer than this test as there was no
advantage for either rope, either in weather or
character of service, both being used in exactly
the same work at precisely the same time,

It is Called to Consider the Situariou-21
Pits Operating Mt the 74-Cent Rate
The Significance.
National Secretary W. 7. Lewis, Of the
N. P. o., and President John D. Conway,
of this district, were in the city yesterday
lool,ing after the interests of the striking
miners. They have called convention of
miners of the Pittsburg district to be held
ct Ruppels Hall, this city, on Monday.
Each pit, whether connected with the N. P.
o., E.. of L. or unorganized, will be en-
titled 10 one delegate.
The convention is called "fcr the purpose
of considering the situation, and take such
steps as will protect the miners Of this dis
trict."
Presid ent Conway addressed mass meet
ing of mil at Snowden last night. These
men had been working at the II 3-cent rate,
but decided to quit and the mines will be
idle TODAY. The operators had sent for two
deputy sheriffs. claiming that trouble might
occur. The officers attended the meeting,
and as Mr.. Conway did not make an in
cendiary sp eech saw no reason why they
should Interfere. They returned to the
CITY on the same train with Mr.. Conway.
The latter in speaking of the situation last
night said: "There are 400 men working
at the 74-cent ate and about 8, 200 are on
strike. There Sre IA pits in operation along
the Youghioghe nv river, five on the Pam
handle, and two, on the P. V. & c. Z. W.,
making q in all. About 300 men scat
tered through tile district are working at
the 711k-cent rat. and none are working at
20 cents, as stat ed. The Montour mines
were in operation yesterday, but are idle
to-day and Will lemain idle until the de-
mands are granted. The operators are in
bad shape. They re anxious to start their
mines and are will ng to pay the price. but
do not like to give in. The strike will not

Colonel Lamont Makes Tour of the South
He Doesn't Fear southern Competition
"A Railroad Crowd.
Dan Lamont ex-President Baldwin, of
the Louisville and Nashville road, Lucius
Moore, William Woodburn, Mr.. Kemble
and Charles Davis occupied special car on
the Panhandle express going east last
night Since the genial Daniel left the
White House he has become a blooming
capitalist and bloated bondholder. The
party are interested in Southern coal fields
and the development of the Louisville,
Evansville and st. Louis road, and had
had been making a tour Of Birmingham,
Memphis and other Southern cities Dan
stated that they intend to extend the Louis
vile, Evansville and st. Louis road to St.
Louis.
When they arrived in Pittsburg the car
couldn't be attached to the Eastern express,
and they had to remain over two hours for
the next train. Like Dan himself, they
were all genial men, and they tried hard to
kill the time. .loafng about the depot The
reporters were welcomed for a change, and
piled with all kinds Of questions about gas
and the iron industries
The Colonel, however, has lost none of
his old-time shrewdness, and when someone
ventured to ask him what he thought of the
new administration, he replied: "Now, you
mustn't ask me such question. / am out
of politics, and don't want to talk on that
subject Let us converse about something
more pleasant
''As for the South, must say that it is
developing rapidly in certain parts. What
improvements have been made are modern,
and the machinery introduced is the best
and latest. The people have profted by the
experience of the North. 1 don't believe
the South will ever come into serious COM
petition with the North. They will have
enough to do to keep up with the growth of
their own section, and in the end the North
will have to supply them with great many
things"
In the course of the conversation Dan re-
marked that he understood the pressure for
offices was something awful, but as he had
been there himself he could talk from ex-
perience. He didn't believe the rush is
any greater now than it was four years ago.

AN UNUSUAL DEMAND.
The Homestead Steel Workers Ask
for a 80 Per Cent Advance.
IRON MASTERS ARE INDIFFERENT,
Secretary Weeks Hints That There Will be
No Scale Conference.
OVER 2,4OO MINERS GET THE ADVANCE

The wages of iron and steel workers for
the coming scale year arc being discussed by
the members of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton, and trouble is expected before settle
ment is reached. The workers are more
secret than ever before regarding their in
tentions while the manufacturers are doing
nothing. 1t is known, however, that the
workers will propose an advance. At the
Homestead mill of Carnegie, Phipps s. Co.,
the men have decided to demand 80 per
cent advance They believe that the condi-
ton of trade will warrant the payment Of
higher wages, and although they have very
little to say on the subject seem to be conf
dent of success.
A REDUCTION PROBABLE.
A leading member of the firm, when asked
if they could afford to pay 80 per cent ad-
vance, replied very emphatically in the neg
ative He even intimated that it would
hardly be possible for the firm to continue
present wages
1t is reported, but the report is not con-
frmed, that Carnegie, Phipps & Co. will
shortly introduce sliding scale, based on
the selling price of their product at all of
their large plants, the agreementto continue
for three years.
Secretary Joseph d. Weeks, of the West
ern Iron Association, was asked yesterday
whether the manufacturers intended to meet
the Amalgamated Association committee
this year and arrange scale of wages, and
l. = A..tT fhnx-
have not heard the subject mentioned BY the
manufacturers vet and do not believe any of
them have given the subject any thought.
TheManufacturers' Association that attended
to wage questions has gone to pieces and the
Western Iron Association has not held a
meeting for many months. presume the
Amalgamated Association will send me
notice, as Secretary of the old Manufaetur-
ers' Association, that they are prepared to
meet us and
REQUEST THE APPOINTMENT
Of conference committee. / shall turn it
over to Mr.. Heating, who was President of
the organization, ard shall probably be re-
QueSted to reply that there is no association
in existence that has the authority to ap-
point a committee to take action on the sub
ject The Manufacturers Association can
not be called together again, but meeting
of manufacturers can be called. / do not
really know what will be done, as 1 have
been so busy with other matters. 1t is
probable that when the scale is prepared it
will be acted upon by the manufacturers as
individuals and not as an association"
In speaking of the probable retirement of
the two leaders of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation, Mr.. Weeks said he was surprised
that both should leave at the same time. He
believes there are many men in the organiza-
tion who are capable of filling the positions.

vellous. In three or four weeks complete
cure was wrought, leaving the little fellows

Blotches and Scabs from Head to Feet.
My boy aged years, has been troubled all
his life with very bad humor, which appeared
all over his body in small red blotches, with
dry white scab on them. Last year he was
worse than ever, being covered with scabs from
the top of his head to his feet, and continually
growing worse, although he had been treated
by two physicians. AS last resort deter
mined to try the CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and
am happy to say they did all that could wish.
Using them according to directions, the humor
rapidly disappeared, leaving the skin fair and
smooth. and performing thorough cure. The
CUTICURA REMEDIES are all you claim for
them. They are worth their weight in gold To-
any one troubled as my boy was.
