THEY WILL INVESTIGATE.

The Central Trades Council win Inaulr'
Into the Importation Of Those Blowers
and Some Prosecutions May Follow.
There was an unusually large attendance
at the meeting of the Trades Council wheI
President Evans called it to order last night
One of the first things taken up was til
trouble over the foreign glass blowers. Th'
Executive Board, in its report, said that I
letter had been received under date Of Apri
20 from Secretary Cake, of the Window
Glass Workers Association, stating tha
President Campbell was away, and that fol
this reason the board decided to wait his re
turn before proceeding with the inyestiga
tion.
John NJ. Kelly arose and presented
communication from Secretary Cake, which
was published in this paper, stating on
what terms his association would agree to
go into an investigation. The Council took
up the communication at once. The first
proposition was that the investigation be
held at the office of L. A. 300. This was
not agreed to.
The second proposition was that the hear
ings be open and the reporters of the daily
papers be present This was amended to
read that they would be open to union men.
The third proposition was that the wit
nesses be sworn. This was agreed to.
The fourth proposition provided for a
court, two of whose members were to be
chosen by the Executive Board OF the Trades
Council; two by L. A. 300, and these
four to chose the fifth. This was amended
fo rood R0ord ooustituta the
court.
The fifth proposition was that in case any
officer Of L. A. 300 is found to have violated
the law, legal proceedings will be entered,
and, if not found guilty, public rerraction
of the charges entered will be made. This
last sentence was changed to make public
announcement of the fact, on the ground
that the Council had not entered any
charges. Secretary Warde was instructed
to send word of the action taken.
The Executive Board recommended that
a committee be sent to see w. McClurg and
ask him to employ none but union men.
This was agreed to. It also recommended
that committee be sent to the Carnegie Lii
brary and the contractors be asked to dis
charge all non-union men, which was
ordered. The hod carriers had asked for
aid in this matter.
A petition was presented from the Bakers
Assembly in relation to the trouble with
S. s. Marvin & Co. The council approved
the strike, asked other trades bodies to do
the same, and declared the product of the
factory non-union.
The committee appointed to wait on the
Bijou Theater management reported that
two non-unionists had been discharged and
assurance given that the orchestra would be
kept as a union body.
A letter was received from Reading, Pa,
indorsing the idea of State Trades Coun-
Gil. A committee was appointed to take
charge of the matter and formulate plan
for the formation of the council.
Michael Cunningham, of Tube Workers
l.. A. $685. and James Grogans, of the Ma
tional Hod Carriers Union, presented,their
credentials and were admitted as delegates.

ONLY A FEW RAILS MADE.

The Situation at Duquesne Seems to be En-.
couraging for Strikers.
There are no startling features in the
strike at the Allegheny Bessemer Steel
Company's works, at Duquesne, except that
some rails were made yesterday. Chief
Clerk Gray is quoted as saying that there
are from 70 to 100 men at work in the mill.
There are about 110 cars In the yard, and
about 65 of these are loaded with pig metal.
The following anonymous letter is alleged
to have been received by all the members
of the firm:
There is a rumor going around this place
that you are trying to get men to NIL the places
receive large sum of money II succeed in
breaking the strike. Now let the writer give
you fair warning. You had better let up on
this business at once, or you will get youself
into trouble, and 1 advise you not to come to
Duquesne any more, unless you give up this job
of working for the steel company. The strikers
are out for good. living wages, and we will not
have any of your stamp interfering with them.
MAY g. 1882
About Is Italians and Hungarians went
out to the works yesterday, and A. P.
Geisler, the employment agent, has been
advised to stop bringing men to the works,
and it is believed the advice has been taken

encouraging for the strikers.

Bar Association yesterday afternoon Rev.
B. f. Woodburn. D. D., delivered an ad-
dress on illegal Ideas" Among other
things, DR.. Woodburn said there never was
such revolution of thought as in the past
30 years. 1t is almost impossible for man
who thinks at all to keep pace with the
march of science, art, literature and govern
ment There is nothing more important to
a man than to have clear idea OF things.
Purity in the administration of the law"
said DR.. Woodburn, 'is one of the safe
guards of the law. This is a temple of
Justice. The utmost sanctity is attached to
the proceedings within these walls. Every
work intended to secure justice and right
should be sacred"

dent James Campbenf
Secretary Cake, Of the Window Glass
Workers Association, was seen yesterday
regarding the cards that are being circulated
to the effect that he and President Campbell
are prepared to furnish non-union foreign
workmen. He declined to talk on the sub
ject, but seemed to treat the matter as a
joke. "Wait for few days." said he. ''and
you will hear something drop. I will not
speak on the matter until some future
time"
Itwas reported by their very few enemies
yesterday that the cards were printed by
Messrs. Cake and Campbell, and are being
circulated to influence public sentiment in
their favor. Mr.. Cake said it was too ridic-
ulous to deny.
President Campbell is absent from the
city and will not return until next Sunday.

DIR. Green Condemns the Tank System Of
Making Window Glass.
DR.. G. G. Green, of Woodbury., N. j.,
the patent medicine man, passed through
the city last night going homein his private
car. He spent the winter with his family
in Southern California.
He reports that the gold mine near San
Diego has not panned out to any great ex-
tent, and the people are turning away dis
gusted. The doctor bought railroad out
there, and is also interested in the window
glass business.
Speaking OF the tank system of making
glass, he said he never knew the plan to
work well, and that invariably the ma
chinery is out of order. He doesn't think
the tank is success, for the reason that it is
easily burned out.

An Ordinance Locating That Thoroughfarl
From Diamond Street to ITS Westerr
End-Other Streets to be Opened.
The Committee on Sewers met yesterday
afternoon in Select Council chamber. An
ordinance locating Forbes street from Dla.
mond street to Boyd street, TO be go feet wide,
was opposed BY Mr.. Nesbitt gptil the com.
mittee went personally and examined the
ground. He thought the opening up of q
street through that part of the city was big
thing, and should not be acted upon until it
was shown there was a necessity for it. One
member of the committee sarcastically said
the only reason for opening the street was to
make driveway from Diamond street to
connect with Forbes. DR.. Evans moved that
the ordinance be afirmatively recon-
mended. He said there was no use wasting
time viewing the property. The City En-
gineer had done that and recommended the
plan. The motion prevailed.
The ordinance re-establishing the grade
of Colwell street. from Dinwiddie to
Jumonville streets, was negatively recon-
mended. there being heavy remonstrance
against it.
The following ordinances were affirma-
lively recommended: Establishing the grade
of Rose street, from Devilliers to Kirk
patrick streets; relocating Lowry street,
from Second avenue to the Monongahela
river; establishing the grade of Heman
street, from Addison to kirkpatrick streets;
establishing the grade of Virginia avenue,
from Wyoming avenue to La Belle street;
vacating a ten-foot alley in the McKenna
& Mcdowell plan, Twenty-third ward;
locating Tunstall street, from Greenfield
avenue to Alvin street; locating Alvin
street, from Tunstsll street to Yoder's line;
locating Montezuma street, from Apple
street to Park avenue; vacating Liveray
alley, from Beatty street to an alley; estab-
fishing the grade of Addison street, from
Center avenue to Ruch street; relocating
Sylvan avenue, from point 200 feet east
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 400 feet
eastwardly; repeating an ordinance locating
Emil street, Twentieth ward; locating

called for the ayes and NAYS. A roll call on
motion in the Bar Association is very
rare occurrence. As the members found
they were to be put on record, the situation
became quite impressive.
Presently Secretary E. Y. Breck an
nounced the result, as follows: 65 nays and
"a ayes. So the resolution fell. A number
of the attorneys present did not vote.
After the adjournment of the meeting, a
well-known young lawyer said to the re-
porter: "If the truth were known, it would
be that two-thirds of the members present at
the meeting to-day are opposed to Judge
White. They want an investigation, but
we're opposed to the manner in which its
introduction here was brought about. The
demand for roll-call on Mr.. Dickey's mo-
tion, for instance, caused Is votes to be re-
corded against the resolution, which would
have gone for it had the ballot been secret
The viva voce vote which defeated General
Blakely's motion to table the resolution
was an indication of this undercurrent In
feeling"
AS THE PEOPLE SAY.
An evening paper reports George Shiras
III as saying to one of the reporters yester-
day:
The prime object Of my returning to the city
now is to see how the people look upon the
movement with regard to having a committee
appointed TO investigate Judge Whites actions.

want of the people, intend to serve them not
only theoretically, but practically. The causes
which led me to prepare the resolution are al
ready known. / knew the sentiment of this
county, and felt that Judge White had carried
things vastly different from what was contem-
plated by the Brooks law when it was passed
by the Legislature. Aside from that heard
what nearly everybody else heard concerning
the causes which Influenced the Judge, and
thought it was due both the Judge and the
community that the charges should be investi-
gated. If the charges are proven false, all
right. If not, then Judge White should suffer
the consequences. If, however, see that the
people are not in favor of my resolutions1 shall
withdraw them.
