THE CHILD LABOR BILL.
Pittsburg Workers Condemn the Action of
Ohio GInss Workers.

Pittsburg Workers Condemn the Action OF
Ohio Glass Workers.
The defeat of the child labor bill in the
Ohio Legislature has caused much adverse
comment among labor leaders here. Mr..
John Ehman, of the Ohio Valley Budget, in
speaking of the measure yesterday, said:
81 attribute the defeat of the bill to the
combined opposition of manufacturers and
glass workers. 1 am surprised at the stand
taken by the workers against the measure.
They claim, however, that if it was passed
Ohio manufacturers would be unable to
compete with manufacturers outside of the
State, and they would be compelled to seek
employment elsewhere.
"The statement that boys are taken from
orphan asylums and are earning 81 60 day
is incorrect. l have visited the factories at
Findlay and Fostoria, and know that boys
only receive their board and clothes the
first six months, and after having served
that time receive 81 week extra.
I'm order to prevent the employment of
boys and children in glass factories, would
suggest tax similar to the one imposed on
foreigners who obtain employment in Amer
ican factories. At the last convention of
the American Flints, it was decided to i'm
pose tax of 500 on every foreigner who
obtains employment here. Part of this
money goes into the local and part into the
national treasury"

DIGGERSIN DISTRESS.
Miners Compelled to Work at Low
Wages on the Punch Out System.
ONLY so CENTS CASH IN A YEAR.
A Leading Knights Interesting Talk on
the Child Labor Question.
SECRETARY DILLON is A BENEDICT

Several West Virginia coal miners passed
through the city yesterday on their way to
the Eastern coal-felds, where they will try
to secure employment.
They are disguised with the condition of
affairs in the State they have Just left, and
one of them told how the diggers in some
sections were being imposed upon by the
operators.
''The region l left, said he, sis one of
the worst in the State. The men seldom re-
ceive any money, taking their pay in punch
outs, that is, tickets calling for a certain
amount at the company stores.
"These tickets are only good at the stores
owned by their employer. Ifa man buys
10 cents worth of bread, that amount is
punched out of his tickets. The other
merchants will accept the tickets at re-
duction of % per cent. The only money
the men received while was working there
was 90 cents last Christmas, which the eni-
ployers called Christmas money"
A Pittsburg labor leader who is we'll ac-
quainted with the affairs in that region,
corroborated the miners statement. He said
the miners down there are very hard class to
organize, and this is the only way to ameli-
crate their condition. State President
Moran, of the Miners National Progressive
Union, is doing good work IN that section.
When the men are thoroughly organized
they will take steps toward abolishing the
"punch-out" system.
This will greatly benefit the river miners
in this section,a as the West Virginia miners
are their strongest competitors in the South
ern markets.

A REALISTIC DRAMA.

The Wickedness of Woman and the Treach.
cry of Ice Portrayed.
The drama may be called "The Slippery
Day" the first act may be placed on Fifth
avenue; the time recently, and the char
acters one man, one woman and treacher-
Gus piece of ice.
He, the hero, was a man with whom
nature in her most generous mood had dealt
kindly. His face and figure were the envy
of the promenaders of the masculine type,
and he was the delight and admiration OF
the ladies, so he thought. Clad garments
of the latest style, carrying a cane of huge
proportions, and fresh from tonsorial
artists chair, but little wonder he moved
about like an Apollo.
She was one of those delightful little
creatures, with a wealth of sunny hair and
face charming in appearance, but now
made more so by the half-frightened look
which now and then swept across it. She
was clad in sealskin, and, with hat of the
latest Partisan design, she attracted every.
body's admiring attention. A woman OF
sympathy, of modesty and of beauty.
They meet He has found what he thinks
is a safe resting place for his feet. Now he
is secure and can proceed to make an i'm
preston on the fair maid. He gazes upon
her and throws all his charms into that one
look. All! she slyly glances at him in re-
turn. Now for the Waterloo. But alas,
fate. cruel fate, here interposes and both
his feet gradually slip from beneath
him, and the earth seems to suddenly
sink from beneath him and then arise
again. Oh! the suddenness and hardness of
that meeting. His hat parted from him;
also his glasses and his cane. A look of
agony fits across his countenapce, which
suddenly gives place to one of positive
anger, as that young woman of many charms
breaks forth into merry laugh, and with
an arch ''Be careful, or you will fall" sud-
denly disappears into the doorway of
downtown store. leaving him standing dazed
and mad. AS he once more endeavors to be-
come what he was, he walks away debating
upon the wickedness of woman and the un-
certainty of ice.

1T WILL RAISE A HOWL.
kissing Said to be Going Out of Fashion
Because of Those Ha6ings.

kissing Said to be Going Out of Fashion
Because of Those Ha6ings.
Men have often remarked on the fertility
of a woman's mind. Psychologists declare
she never reasons, but as an instructive
creature she often reaches correct conclu'
sion much quicker than a man. If they
lack the intricate process of tatioscination
they have the happy faculty of walking
straight through mental difficulties like a
somnambulist in sleep.
The fellows who discuss is Marriage a
Failure?" or "Why 1 Am a Batchelor?"
have wondered lately how women reach
their cute noses with handkerchief since
the advent of the new tangled veil. 1t
covers the greater part of the face, and is as
ornamental possibly as protective.
Two women veiled alike met yesterday.
1t was evident they hadn't seen each other
for some time, and they rushed together in a
warm embrace. The inevitable kiss came
next. Both esssyed the attempt, but the
wells rendered this impossible. Quick as
a flash one of the ladies turned the
side of her face to her companion, and the
latter smacked spot on her cheek some
where below the ear This was satisfactory,
and then followed the usual storm of quick
womanlv CALCULATIONS.
''Is kissing on the lips no longer fashion
able?" queried reporter of lady he met
after this event.
''No, not since the introduction of the
new veil" she answered sweetly. 'You see
the lips are completely covered, and it has
become the fashion to press the lips against
the cheek. This thing of kissing is a
nuisance anyhow, and 1 wish the ladies
would all stop it.

BANKERS EXPERIENCES.
Bankruptcy-A Very Useful Alleyway-
Faith Goes a Long Way.

How a Philadelphia Bank Was Saved From
Bankruptcy-A Very Useful Alleyway-
Faith Goes Long Way.
A party of bankers met in the lobby of
the Monongahela House the other day, and
the topic of conversation gradually drifted
to the runs often made on banks during
shsky and panicky times. The following
story was elected:
Il remember" said veteran cashier, ''some
years ago was employed in bank in Phila-
delphia. 1t is not necessary to name the insti-
tuition. Just back of US in the same block but
facing the other street. was another financial
house, and through a small passageway we
could pass back and forth between the two
buildings.
There came a time when the bank was
unfortunate in some of its transactions and
lost heavily. run was started, and we pre-
pared to make the best of it. We hoped to
soon pacify the people by showing willing
ness to hand over the cash as fast as they
called for it, AS soon as demand was made
it was promptly paid, but still the depositors
came and it began to look blue for us.
"Our supply was nearly exhausted when the
other bank came to the rescue. We carted
through that narrow alley piles Of gold from
their vaults, and was careful to place it where
our uepOSlIOrS COulu see IL. IL dCIeu ike a
charm. When the panlc-stricken people saw
the profuse piles of gold lying on the counters
we couldn't induce the majority of them to re-
move their deposits. They were perfectly sat-
isfed.
"By strange fate that very afternoon there
was a run made on the other bank, and we
carted the money back. The people never
knew the difference, but if they bad both banks
would have been ruined. The sight of the
money restored confidence. and gave us a
breathing spell. In time we were able to pull
through and retrieve our losses. Ii the de-
positors had only known how we trembled on
the ragged edge of bankruptcy, in their fright,
they would have pushed us over and fallen
with u.s."
do banks often have such narrow escapes?''
was asked.
YES Often" was the reply, "but it does not
happen frequently that the institutions are so
advantageously situated as to help each other.
In this age there is so much business done on
paper. The funds are not exchanged at all,
and very often there is not enough actual cash
in the vaults of bank to pay half the depos
tors. If run was made under such clrcum-
stances bank would be forced by circum-
stances to stop payment.
THE element of faith enters largely into all
business transactions, and this is what saves
bankers. To be compelled to suspend payment
When the public loses its trust in bank the
doors might as well be closed, for no business
can be done"
The other bankers had similar experiences
to relate. They all had passed through
thrilling financial events at some time or
other during life, when nothing but au-
dacity and little courage saved them from
going down with crash.

NO WONDER THEY KICK.

Honest Freight Shippers Object to Shoulder

tion May Eusue.
The Pittsburg Committee of Freight
Agents held another meeting yesterday
morning to consider the petition of the glass
manufacturers of this city for reduction in
the classification of bottles and other articles
of glassware. After wrangling with the
question all morning they adjourned with
out doing anything definite.
Nearly all of the agents are disposed to
reduce the classification and would recon-
mend the reduction if they could see any
way to protect themselves from the prac-
tices Of dishonest shippers A great many
OF those formerly shipping table ware made
the shipping orders read 'bottles, which
took lower class. The practice became
so universal and the railroad companies
lost so much money that in order to save
themselves they took bottles out of the fifth
class and made them fourth. In less7 than
car loads they advanced them.from third to
second class.
The shippers WHO did not misrepresent
their goods naturally objected to paying
higher rate because their competitors were
dishonest and filed petition to that effect.
If the change is made it would necessitate
a universal change all over the country.

Their Annual Jaunf Broken Up Before It II

The division freight agents OF the Penn

last night in the special car "Pickwick" on
their way east to their respective cities.
Among the party were Charles A. Chip
ley, of this city; E. W. Coffin, of Camden,
N. j.; E. G. Dixon, of Philadelphia; W. j.
Rose, of Harrisburg; j. G. Searles, of Balti-
more; George Stevens, of Philadelphia; John

Opinions on Election Laws-Chairmnn Hun.
ter Cannot be Unseated.
The Allegheny political mix is not yet
settled, and may not be for several weeks,
and probably not until the time for the
newly elected Councilmen to take their
seats on April l. Yesterday the judges
were busy figuring on the returns, but the
official count will not be ready for day or
two. Several mistakes were made in the
count of Wednesday. John P. Milby and
Charles V. Lewis, who were named as win
ners, are both defeated. The former will
loose BY four votes and a contest is expected
here. There is close vote for fourth place
on the ticket. Pitcairn claims 267 votes,
Watson 24S and Milby 245. A mistake of
20 votes was made in the Fourth district,
which cuts Pitcairn's vote down to 247 and
elects Watson.
Several of the persons who opposed Mr..
James Hunter in the Second ward are max
ing strenuous efforts to prevent him from
taking a seat. They claim that the Second
ward is only entitled to eight Councilmen,
and 'as Mr.. Hunter was the ninth on the
ticket he must be dropped. A DISPATCH
reporter saw a number of authorities on
election laws, and all agree that this is
a mistaken idea. The Mayor issued a
proclamation ordering the election of
nine men to represent the ward
in Common Council. If the ward is not
entitled to that number the votes cast can be
gone over again, and all tickets bearing
nine names thrown away. AS the 571
smoothbore tickets cast did not contain Mr..
Hunters name, and Mr.. McKirdy was the
next lowest man on tine regular ticket he
will be dropped instead of Mr.. Hunter
Another way out of the difficulty is to order
a new election, but this will not likely be
dore.
One politician said if it was necessary to
drop the low man if the ward is only en-
titled to eight Common Councilmen, the
dropping should be done at the primary,
where the regular ticket was made. This
would leave Mr.. Buente out in the cold.

Fully 400 miners were present, many of
whom had dropped out of the Knights dur

tion scarcely had enough members to resist
any unjust demands of the operators.
Mr.. Flanncry spoke for an hour and a
half on the benefits of organization, and ad-
vised the men to return to the fold. Mr..
jenkins also delivered an, address, when a
resolution was unanimously adopted de-
Gliding to return to the order and square up
all back dues.
Mr.. Jenkins believes the order will hoom
along the river and in short time be as
strong, if not stronger, than ever. The
next meeting will be held at Camden to-
night.
