THE LAST TRIBUNAL.
Evidence All in Concerning the I'M
pOrtation of Glass Workers.
THE U. S. ATTORNEY THE ONE
Who Will be Called Upon to Talk to Presi-
dent Campbell About 1t.
PRESIDENT WEIHE is REELECTED

A rnen,ber of the Executive Committee of
National Trades Council told a DISPATCH re-
norter last night that there was now no
tribunal for President James Campbell, of the
window glass workers, except the decision of
tbe United States District Attorney, and that
the evidence collected in the investigation of
his connection with the importation of the 26
English glass blowers now at work
in Jeanette would undoubtedly be placed
in the hands of the United States Attorney at
the meeting of the assembly next Saturday
night. He said further that the Window Glass
Workers Union finally recalled their offer of an
investigation, but that the investigation had
gone on Just the same or at least the evidence
had been collected. Continuing, he said:
Have Enough Evidence.
1--WE now have enough evidence collected,
we think, to prove that these Is English glass
blowers were imported under contract; that
the assembly in England were informed that
glass workers were needed, and an arrange
ment entered into by which the English as
sembly paid the fares over and expenses
of the glass blowers to this country, and
furthermore, that the money was refunded TO
them after the arrival of the blowers here
That is the evidence. OF course we cannot tell
what the attorney will do with 1t when IL is
placed in his hands But it is-clear enough TO
us"
The informant would not disclose how the
evidence had been obtained or by whom, stat
ing that that would be known later. he SalQ.
however that much of it had come from the
other side of the water, through correspondence
with parties cognizant of the action of the as
sembly in England.
Didn't Discuss the Evidence.
A meeting of the Executive Committee of
the Trades Council was called for last night
principally to work over the evidence before it
was presented to the assembly next Saturday
night, but the time wore away until past
o'clock and quorum did not show up and the
members who had gathered adjourned, agree
ing to submit their evidence without a meeting
of the Executive Committee.
Another important question which was to
have come before the committee was the con-
sideration of the petition of the Allegheny
County Musical Union, who ask for represen-
tation in the Council. 1t consists of about 80
members and includes some of those who were
expelled from the Musical Mutual Protective
Association. The petition argues that by Civ
ing both organizations equal representa-
tion, the financial status of each
member will be elevated, their services more
appreciated and the demand for their labors
greater. The petition was signed by ]. f.
Roenigh, President, and A. 81. Gerlack. Secre-
tary. President Rlhe, of the Musical Mutual
Protective Association, who was present, was
loaded with evidence against members and
wanted to try to prevent the hand of fellow
ship being extended, but from the conservative
talk of others of the committee present it is
safe to say that their petition will at least be
justly considered.
