Interesting Detail. of some of y .Se Report,
Presented.
The following telegram was received last
night from Bellaire:
The first reliable infor' nation from the
Flint Glass Workers Ma .tional Convention
was obtained to-day, an d is of nature not
calculated to create alf .rm. The committee
Oh the chimney bran ch recommended the
Endorsement of the action of the conference
held in Pittsburg e establishing a scale to run
until July l, 1890 :, and the scale as agreed
upon was adopte' 4. The scale made by a
conference with the engravers last April
was also ratif led. In the matchmaking
branch no cha nges were made as to appren-
tices, and ith only one or two minor
changes the rules in force last year were
adopted. The Stopper Committee made
some sb' ght changes in the direction re-
questef by the manufacturers, and with
these exceptions the same rules govern as
last year. The Cutting Committee re-
athrI med the rules in force and they were
ado Epted, g..
de- " evening that the books of the Secretary
VI ere in excellent shape, and in a compari-
yson with those of the Treasurer, every cent
received was accounted for and vouchers

were S122, ,098 II. The amount expended is
not given, but larger surplus than ever
before is reported.
Some interesting Information in regard to

December 1887, are given. The association
has paid out over $3.50, 600 as benefits to the
members engaged in it, and there were
originally 2,760 of them involved in the
strike for q weeks, 1000 of them until
| August 1888, and they have been paying
benefits ever since to from 40 to go members,
the minimum being still on the roll for
benefits. The Shade, Prescription, Pressed
Ware, Iron Mold and Grievance Commit-
tees are still to report.

ONE STARTLING ALLEGATION.
Homer L. McGaw Says 80 Green Bottle
Blowers Are Being Imported Under Con.
tract-One Claim Refuted.

Homer L. McGaw Says so Green Bottle
Blowers Are Being Imported Under Con.
tract-One Claim Refuted.
Joseph L. Evans. President of the Gen.
tral Trades Council, stated yesterday in re-
gard to the investigation of the importation
of glassworkers, that il was not his inten-
tion, nor that of the Trades Council, to pros
ecute anyone for the alleged ofense, nor to
claim the 81 ,0O0 penalty allowed in such
cases His course, which has been unani-
mously approved by the Council, is to COM
pei the sending back of these men, it shall
be found that they are here unlawfully.
The whole case, he added, is now in the
hands Of the United States District At
torney, and when that officer decides upon
his mode of procedure, the case will go on.
Mr.. Homer L. McGaw, the prosecutor in
the case, confirmed the statement of Mr..
Evans, adding:
This action of l. A. 800, in bringing the
Englishmen to Jeanette has already opened
the flood gates of European immigration,
manufacturers claiming the same right to i'm
port as did L. A. 800. Why, there is reported to
be about 80 non-union green bottle blowers
now on ship board who will arrive this week.
They are being imported here to make uhion
bottle factory in Illinois uon-union; so at least
my informant says, and deem it reliable.
The Government authorities cannot act too
soon in regard TO the Jeanette affair. When
the decision is made that neither trades unions
nor manufacturers can import this wholesale
importation will stop. If the decision is in ia
vor of L. A. 3OO. then the Lord help the trades
unions, for the Government wonu

moss Next on the list, and what appears
to be new idea, is that Of large frame ice
house, 20x40 feet. In it are 20 tons of ice
and also 10 or Is quarter barrels of beer and
other lubricants. There are several lava
tories scattered about and a dish washing
department handy to the kitchen.
Breakfast is served at 6 A. M.-to those
who are up in time for it. At this meal
oatmeal Cruel (they just call it ''oats'') },
fresh beet, coffee, syrup, bread and butter
and several other dishes are served; but,
alasl no delicious fish. Milk is given to
those who prefer it to coffee. There is
plenty of life in the crowd at breakfast
time, of course. "Say, Bill, pass me those
oats, and don't take all day to do it! Chase
that cream up this way" and many other
such expressions are heard, etiquette hav-
ing been thrown to the winds. There is a
great deal OF joking, and plenty Of common
sense talk also.
At noon dinner for the hungry consists of
turtle soup, if they have been so fortunate
as to have secured turtle; frogs, when the
green-backed croaker is captured (Which,
fortunately for him, does not happen very
often), and other substantials.
Supper is usually made up of mutton,
chicken and big variety Of other things,
with and without wings.
MORE ABOUT FISH.
The reporter insisted on knowing at
which meal the fish were to be ''dished up"
The inquiry was answered by uproariOus
laughter.

tribe?''

THEY WERE NOT ARRESTED.

The Slot Machines Worked Without l.. 6,
o. Interfercnce-Speculatio on the
Attitude of the League-Soda Wafer
Sales.
So far as could be learned yesterday the
Law and Order League did not arrest any OF
the slot machines for performing worldly
labor on the Sabbath or for vice and i'm
morality, as had been more than indicated
by the exclusive publication of an intention
to do so in Saturday mornings DISPATCH.
An effort was made to find Mr.. H. NJ.
Black, agent of the slot machines, but his
office at Eleventh street and Penn avenue
was not open nor did he seem to be in the
city. The machines were merrily at work
all day and did thriving business, most of
them proving greatly inadequate to the
demand.
1t is possible that the Law and Order
League was deferred from proceeding sum-
marily against the machines by the univer-
sal chorus of derision that greeted the pub
LEGATION of their intention. An attorney
who has given the subject some thought
stated last night that the league might be
hesitating on account of certain nice legal
points involved in the matter. One Of
these is the fact is that in nearly every in
stance the agent of the machines has placed
them upon private property, by and with
the consent of the respective owners. Re-
moval OF the machines would doubtless be
construed as trespass under the cireum-
stances.
There were two thirst-quenchers in active
operation yesterday. The Federal street
druggist who has announced an intention
of keeping open on Sunday indefinitely
was doing an immense business during the
heat of the day, but not SO much during the
rainstorm of last evening. A stand in
front of the Casino Museum sold every sort
of soft drink vigorously, and no one seemed
to be able to tell just who the proprietor is
and who will be "seen" by the Law and
Order League.

Electric Workers in Other Cities Are Organ.
izing Unions.
The organization formed in Pittsburg by
the electrical workers a month ago, known
as the Pittsburg Electrical Union No 1.
promises to become national. Applications
for copies of the constitution, bylaws, etc.,
have in from several parts of the country,
and charters have been taken out for New
York and Kansas City, where unions are
now being formed.
The objects Of the new organization are
largely social and educational The Pitts
burg union is forming a library of books
bearing on the work Of the members, and a
collection of electrical appliances will be
added soon. The advantages to the public
from this new order will be in having cleo
trical work done by skilled men, as none
others are admitted. The union in Pitts
burg has already gotten an advance of %
cents day for its members employed by
one local company.

OBJECTS TO NON-CITIZENS.

MIR. Smythe Wants Only Americans to Go
With Him to Paris.
A. B. Smythe, of Allegheny, who was in
dorsed by number of organizations to rep
resent the marble, stone and tile workers at
the Paris Exposition with the Scripps
League, said yesterday that he would not
accept the appointment unless all the men
elected are native-born Americans. Mr..
Smythe's knowledge of the men is limited
as yet, but he has been led to believe that
some of the men selected are not citizens
He said that he thought America should be
represented by Americans, and unless this
was the case throughout, he would decline
to serve.

modern fishermen and their actual lives in
camp are not at all we'll known by him who
hasn't "been there" The prose and poetry
that always blend in camp life are mixed
by or for the fisherman, or, more properly,
clubman, in about the same proportion as
Old Monongahela Rye and fresh Mononga-
hela water are mixed by him who appreci-
ates the genuine qualities of the former,
and ''never believes in mixing drinks any
way"
From this it is not to be inferred. by any
manner of means, that there is no oil on the
troubled waters of fishing camp. There
is. The only fact to be impressed by the
prose-poetry, Monongahela-Monon compari-
son is that the club fisherman goes out
for prose, unmixed, and for his other COM
modities likewise, though poetry will, of
course, creep in occasionally, as water will
trickle under the edges of a tent sometimes,
despite the best precautions. The poetry
not only, but the picture of an actual FISH
erman as well, has crept into the illustra-
tions for this article in just that way.
A GREAT MANY OF THEM.
Fifty-two of these clubs, with member
ships varying all the way from a dozen to
several hundreds, belong to and are cata-
logued under the United Hunting. Fishing
and Camping Clubs Association of Western
Pennsylvania. There is no other locality
in America more prolific in this summer

The rainstorm last night caused block
on the Citizens Traction line for over half

that length of time
AT the corner of Penn avenue and Thrift

depth of about, 2 feet. 1t ran down the
hillside, and Thirtieth street and part of
Penn avenue were converted into small
