BOLT MAKERS STRIKE.
Southside Workers Go Out Because of the
Discharge of Co Inborers.

Southside Workers Go Out Because of the
Discharge of Co-Lnborers.
Seventy-fve bolt makers and as many
boys employed in the Oliver Iron and Steel
Company s South Tenth street mill went
out on strike yesterday morning. The
trouble leading to the strike has been brew
ing for several weeks. 1t is claimed by the
men that the foreman Of the department,
John Auker, commenced systematic dis
charge of men employed in the department.
with view to filling their places with boys
as fast as competent lads could be secured
to do the work.
1t is said several men were discharged
without any apparent cause. The Mill
Committee of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion took the matter in hand and consul
taton was held with the foreman, and he
was asked to take back the discharged
EN- ployes. This he refused to do. Several
attempts were made to induce Mr.. Auker to
yield, but without avail. The last meeting
with the foreman resulted in the discharge
of two members of the Mill CommitteeRon
Thursday morning. Yesterday morning he
was asked to reinstate the men and when he
refused the men went out.

NOT ENTIRELY WITHOUT ICE.

The Frozen North and the Artificial Makers
VIII Not Have II All Their Own Way
Warmer Weather and Rain Predicted
for To-day.
After all, Pittsburg may not be compelled
to submit to magnetizing by Maine, for be-
fore sundown this evening it will be possible
to have 250,00O tons of ice stored in this
neighborhood. 1t comes in time to prevent
considerable monopoly, and every ton put
up at home saves from 81 % 10 81 so in
freight
Reports as to thickness vary from to 10
inches, and as that cut on Lake Cbautauqua
yesterday was reported to be but 9 inches
thick, it is likely that ours isn't much over
6. That at Chautauqua is very cold-cold-
expressed-the kind that cracks with glee
while 1t is freezing, and ours will not he far
behind, as the freeze has been remarkably
steady since it began. For several hundred
miles in this latitude the weather has been
very cold, Ice freezing in water pitchers
even in rooms with fire in them, the first
record of this kind this winter.
Yesterday icemen who had been consult
ing Signal Service views as to the probable
duration of the freeze decided to wait no
longer, and work was in consequence lively
at bruce ponu ou Oquirrel Hill, flnley
at Boulevard Place and at the ponds around
McKee's Rocks and up Pine creek. In ad-
dition to this large quantities were housed
for general cooling purposes other than
table use, and where cleanliness is not SO
much of an object, so that should sudden
thaw come even to-day, the supply of local
product will be such that a little aid from
the artificial freezers will tide us over in
good shape.
The Signal Service thermometer showed
the greatest cold to have been so above
zero. This was at o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Rain is predicted for to-day or to-mor-
row, and if it bring all the snow on the west
ern slope of the Allegheny and her fanking
ridges, the river channel may be taxed to
carry the resultant water

PURSUING HIS OLD ENEMY.
George Rice Still in the Ring Against the
Standard Oil Company.

George Rice Still in the Ring Against the
Standard Oil Company.
Big George Rice, of Marietta, the famous
fighter of the Standard Oil Company, who
now has several suits against railroads be-
discrimination in rates, is at the Anderson
Hotel. Franklin B. Gowen was pushing
his suit against the octopus when he COM
mitted suicide.
In chatting about the event last evening
Mr.. Rice said: 81 can't account for Mr..
Governs action, unless it was disappointed
ambition. 1 was with him for several days
before he shot himself, and he seemed to be
his natural self.
'Yes, l am still keeping up the fight
against the Standard 1 don't propose to
be trampled under foot if by fighting can
prevent it. They have nearly ruined my
business by getting the advantage of low
rates from the railroads, while the same
roads have pushed the tariff up on my pro-
duct 100 per cent. Of course 1 couldn't
stand such dose and live very long. I
don't see why the interstate law is not en-
forced. think if the tenth section of the
law were changed so that the fines
went to the plaintiff instead of the
Government it would stop the practice of
discrimination. The Standard makes oil
tank cars, and secures better rate than do
because l can't afford to build them, and the
railroads decline to furnish them for me.
The barrel shippers are crowded to the wall.
81 hear it said sometimes that the
Standard has made oil cheap. This is not
true. 1t is competition and increased pro-
duction. Why down in Texas where there
isn't much rivalry the profits in oil are
much higher than in other States. II the
Standard had complete control of the entire
oil trade they would soon advance the
price"

SOME EXCITED BELGIANS.

Afraid They Have Been Deceived by au
Ohio Land Company The Property
Mortenred for s125, ,OOO-It May Bring
100000.
There are quite number of Belgian
glass workers on the Southside laboriDg
under the impression that they have been
fieeced by an Ohio land company. A few
weeks ago the Belgians gave BANQUET on
the Southside. Among the guests was a
gentleman from Ohio who was introduced
as the manager of manufacturing company
OF Lancaster, o. He made an address dur
ing the evening and explained what his
company was about to do.
He advised the Belgians to invest in one
or more of the ], 200 lots which the company
had for sale. The prices ranged from $50
to $50 per lot, and the terms were made so
as to accommodate the workmen. He told
the workers that the company intended to
establish large glass manufacturing plant,
and would employ hundreds of workmen.
Before leaving the city, the Ohiosn had
sold several lots, and, it is claimed, col
lected from $40 to S25 from each purchaser,
and secured Alfred George, Isaac Cline and
Gustave Quertemont to act as agents in
Pittsburg.
The agents went to work at selling the
lots, and induced many of the workers to
invest, with the understanding that the
new glass plant should be in operation by
April 1. As an extra inducement, natural
gas was offered free to everyone that would
build house on his lot.
A few days ago George Barber, of the
Southside, met with a circumstance that led
him to suspect something was wrong. He
had it in mind to purchase ten lots as an
investment, and wrote to the Ohio man to
find out what the lowest cash price for that
number of lots would be. Not
receiving a reply in reasonable
time, Mr.. Barber consulted Arnold
Schneider, the Consular agent of Belgium,
about the matter. Mr.. Schneider advised
Mr.. Barber not to do anything for few
days, and Immediately directed letter to
Governor Campbell, OF Ohio, asking him for
as TO the standing of the COM
pany.
Governor Campbell replied that the COM
had their property mortgaged for S125, 900,
and that il they sold their entire plot of
ground, 1000 lots, at an average of 500
each, they would only realize 500, 900.
This gave Southsiders still greater reasons
to suppose that something was wrong.
They figured that if the company could get
but 500, 900 with which to pay off S125, 900
and erect a glass plant, there
would not be very bright prospects for the
plant.
Mr.. Schneider has instructed all Belgians
to refrain from purchasing any more OF the
lots pending an investigation Of the matter
bv himself.

MIR. Grouse says There Will be 5000 Peo.

doing Things in Ohio.
Ex-Congressman George W. Grouse, of
Akron, the President of the Charleroi Plate
Glass Company, arrived in the city last
evening and stopped at the Anderson. He
was met there by Manager NJ. j. Alexander
and W. D. Hartupee, the engineer who is
building the plant. They talked over the
prospects of the new town, and Mr.. Grouse,
in speaking to reporter afterward, said:
"We expect 10 have 5000 people in Char
leroi about the time the next snow flies.
This is not to be mushroom town, nor is it
a scheme gotten up for speculative purposes
to fleece the people. We are going into the
plate glass business, and we have concluded
10 locate there. We also expect to induce
other manufacturers to join with u.s.
The glass plant when finished will be
the finest built up to date. We will put in
all the latest and most improved machinery.
For time we propose to be ahead of every
body else, but suppose it won't be long
before further marked Improvements in the
process of manufacture will be made. In
that case we will adopt them and branch
out. 1 am thoroughly convinced that Char
leroi will become large town.
Well, now, as for Ohio politics, the Demo-
Gratis seem to be running things with a high
hand. The gerrymander bill was passed to-
day, and wonder what will be the next
move. There are SOC, 600 voters in Ohio,
and in both parties there is that independent
element that controls elections. l am in
clined to believe that the Republicans have
more of this class than the Democrats.
The people won't stand too much fine
work, however, and l think the Democrats
have overstepped the mark. They will get
merited rebuke at the polls. They now
have Mckinley in district with a Demo-
cratic majority of 5000 against him. But
terworth also is in similar position"
Mr.. Grouse is also President of the Ault-
man-Miller Company, of Akron. He says
there is good demand for reapers and his
firm has plenty OF orders on hand. Most of
his export trade is with Australia and South
America, but the home markets are good
and cannot be excelled.

WITH HIM EVERY HOUR.

Mayor.EIect Wymnn's Pleasant Time With
Office Seekers No Appointments De-
cided Upon Yet-Murphy Likely TO be
Chief of Police.
Mayor-elect Wyman was seen at his home
on McClintock street, last night, surrounded
by a gathering of chosen friends and admir-
ers who had dropped in to inquire as to the
health of their leader, which has, as is well
known, been very bad for some time.
Happily he is now convalescent and able to
give the matters attendant on his coming
induction into Office more attention than
formerly
As may be surmised this is the period of
the successful candidates existence, when,
whether he wants to or no, his friends, who
have "stood by him through thick and thin"
will insist that he give their multitudinous
claims considerable attention. Mr. Wy
mans case is no exception to the rule, and
he freely states that, notwithstanding the
fact that he has for the past two weeks been
bedfast with serious attack of lum-
bago, his house has been continually beset
with parties-not acknowledgements
from Is to 20 per hour every day. How
ever, according to his own statement, he has
as vet come to no conclusion in a single case,
although at least 100 positions are at his dis
posal, nor will he until he returns from
trip to Boston, his native place, which he
contemplates making as soon as his health
will permit.
An attempt was made to get some slight in
formation as to his intentions so far as the ap
pointment of Chief of Police is concerned,
as it had been reported that the arrange
ments as to that position were in more ad-
vanced stage than any of the Others but
Mr.. Wyman was non-committal From
another and reliable source it was learned
that OF all the candidates mentioned only
two, Murphy and Langhurst, were in the
fight at all, and of these, the first named
stood the best chance; in fact, there was but
little doubt that he would be the man.
Quite number of petitions have been
received, but not nearly as many as were
expected. So far the personal call idea
seems to be the prevailing fashion among
the candidates.
