ALL OUT ON STRIKE.
PuddIers at the Republic Iron Works
Lay Down Their Tools
BECAUSE ONE WAS DISCHARGED.
The Firm Refuses to Take Him Back Again
on Any Consideration.
800 MEN AFFECTED BY THE TROUBLE

This morning all the departments in the
Republic Iron Works, on the Southside,
are to be idle, for the reason that every
workman will be on strike. There are about
800 employees in the works, and most of them
have large families to support.
The strike has been caused by the dis
charge of Francis Carroll, puddle boss,
who is a member of Tubal Cain Lodge,
Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers. The story of the origin of the
trouble was told to DISPATCH reporter
last night by one of the employees of the
works in about the following manner:
Carroll is prominent politician in the
Twenty-ffth ward, and strong supporter
of Burke, who ran for an Office in the last
election. On the evening before the election
Carroll asked the furnace boss whether
HE COULD GET OFF.
He was answered affirmatively, it is alleged,
because it was thought that man might be
found to take Carroll's place for that day.
The next morning, however, there was no
substitute on hand to take Carrolls place,
and he was sent for. The first time he did
not come; but, it is alleged, when somebody
was sent to his home the second time, he re-
sponded and went to the works. However,
when he arrived at the place the mill boss
told him he was not wanted any more at the
mill, neither on that day nor any other day.
Carroll then made complaint to his lodge,
and committee waited upon the firm yes
terday morning, but the proprietors refused
to reinstate him. The answer they are al
legged to have given to the committee was
stated by the man last night to have been:
VERY DETERMINED ABOUT IT.
"We will sooner see the cogs rust on the
wheels of the entire works than take that
man back"
The consequence was that all the puddlers
became embittered and left the mill yester-
day morning, refusing to work again unless
Carroll is put back in his place.
On account of the puddlers being idle all
the rest of the works, it is contended, will
have to be shut down, and they are not ex-
pected to start up again before next week,
even if the trouble should be settled to-day
or tomorrow. But it is not thought likely
that such will be the case, because the
parties on both sides are determined to have
their own way.
A meeting of the Amalgamated men will
be held at headquarters to-day to discuss
the matter, and President Weihe will prob
ably be asked to interfere and bring the
trouble to q satisfactory settlement.

NEW STEEL PLANTS.
Jacob Reese Interested in Several to be

Jacob Reese Interested in Several to be
Built in Alabama.
Jacob Reese, of this city, is interested in
the establishment of one or two frst-class
basic steel plants in Alabama. One of them
is to be located at Sheffield, and will be
equipped with the largest and completest
plate mill in the world. II will have ca
pacity of rolling the heaviest plates re-
quired in modern shipbuilding at less cost
than they can be delivered in the Delaware
shipyards.
Mr.. Reese claims that steel bottomed mer-
chant ships are now in demand. and the mill
could be kept running constantly. The mill
will also turn out beams, girders, channels,
angles and the structural shapes. ~
Mr.. Reese claims that as soon as ship
yard is established in the South all the ma
terial used for the construction of steel bot
toned vessels can be built and delivered in
the yard cheaper than they can be sent to
the eastern yards.

Manufacturers in This Country Meet and
Form a Combination.
The sewer pipe manufacturers have
formed a trust the object being to prevent
foreign competition. Yesterday afternoon
twenty-four men, representing the leading
sewer pipe concerns in the country, met in
the Office of the Globe Company, in the
Germania Bank building, and discussed
trade 1t was stated that large quantities
of foreign-made pipe were being shipped to
this country, and in order to prevent this a
trust, or rather combination, was formed.
Theodore Rhodes. of Columbus, was
elected President and F. Fl. Hendricks, of
this city, was chosen Secretary.
At the close of the meeting one of the
members said: "We do not propose to ad-
vance prices. but have merely entered into
a combination to protect ourselves against
foreign manufacturers. If the rules we have
adopted are kept, foreign dealers cannot do
business in this country, and, most of our
competition comes from England and Scot
land. We can make all the sewer pine
needed in this country and will continue to

A DIAMOND In THE ROUGH.


and Some Prescriptions.
y Yesterday afternoon tall man, with a
long. flowing beard, and dressed in heavy,
stout clothes went into the Office of the De-
partment Of Charities and applied for trans
portation to Huntingdon, this State. He
said his name was Edward Gill and his age
"a years. He had been on farm in Clay
county, Nebraska, since the rebellion, and
worked it with his brother whom he left
there. He has sister in Huntingdon, as
we'll as other friends and relatives there,
and wanted to get to that place to spend the
rest of his life. His money gave out, and
he had to apply on the road for assistance.
A ticket was given him as far as Johns
town.
After he had received the ticket he ex-
hibited small, clear stone or pebble, which,
he stated, was diamond in the rough. He
said he had found it in cannon on his
brothers farm, and on taking it to a jeweler
in Chicago he told him it might be worth,
when cut, 10000.
The jeweler told him, however. that, If
hewas offered $500 for it, he had better
take it.
The traveller next Voluntarily gave the
employees of the office a prescription for
diphtheria. He said that he was in Cedar
county, Iowa, when a small town was Wis
tied by an epidemic Of that disease. The
doctors were completely baffled in their at
tempt to stop it, and he made known his
cure, which was simple and within the
reach of all. His formula was tablespoon
full of gun powder, and copperas (about the
size of a pea) in pint and half of luke
warm water; let it dissolve. and use as
gargle. He said his prescription had been
freely used, and he cured the entire town.
He followed this up with remedy for
rheumatism, which was a half gill of cider
vinegar in hot water, as hot as it could be
slipped, and he guaranteed it to cure the
most pronounced case, as he spoke from ex-
perience. The old man was full of queer
things, and entertained his auditors for half
an hour.

.''I think the Constitutional amendment

That was the remark made by Squire
Ammon yesterday afternoon, as he sat in
his Office on Wood street. and he supple
mented these words by saying:
s'The omission of the compensatory clause

to pin their ballots against the measure.
This majority of votes will come from the
counties of Philadelphia, Berkshire, Dau-

rest of the counties will be about evenly
divided. formed that opinion some time

MORR0W'S PET BILL.

Il il In Trouble at Harrisburg, but Must
Stand ON Its Merits.
Controller Morrow was hastily summoned
to Harrisburg by Representative Laferty,
who asked him to go down with his amend
ments, and try to make satisfactory bill
out of the famous new street bill.
Lafferty said considerable opposition was
made to the bill on account of its unconsti-
tutionality, but Controller Morrow said that
was nonsense, as it had been approved by
the best lawyers at the Pittsburg bar, and
he had no amendments to offer. but would
let the bill stand on its merits.
E. M. Bigelow reiterates his objection to
a certain portion of the bill, as it will close
up half the streets in the East End if passed
and enforced. The general idea is the bill
will be killed.
