NEW SCALE PRESENTED.

Connellsvil1e Coke Workers and Op-
orators Hold Conference.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 9.-The scale COM
mittee of division 4, Knights of Labor, coke
workers of the Connellsville region, to-day
met Thomas Lynch of the Frick Coke Com
pany, Morris Radcliffe of the Southwest
Coke Company, and John P. Bremen of the
Mcclure Coke Company, in Byrnes'
hall, and presented the new
scale and agreement. 1t was quite
an extensive paper, being the most
complete scale ever presented by working
men. 1t covers every class of work about
the mine, and required no small amount of
time to read it.
After the formal presentation of the scale.
conference adjourned until Thursday next.
at which time it is probable that the oper-
ators will present their idea Of an agree
ment.
The operators were not very favOrably
impressed with the mems scale, and will no
doubt present one at the next meeting
which will be SO much different as to cause
some friction. Several prominent coke
men are of the opinion that the new scale
will be rejected.
Many of the operators claim that the
present agreement ldOes not expirei until
after thirty days notice has been given.
Master Workman Koffut's instructions are
that the old agreement will expire Feb o,
by virtue of thirty days notice made to
the operators JAN. 9, aud unless another
agreement is signed by that day, the works
Will be shut down until a satisfactory
agreement is signed. Just what will be the
outcome of to-day's meeting it is difficult
to predict, but, judging from the action of
the men, there will evidently be strike if
no settlement is arrived at by Feb. 9.

ST. JOHNS DESIGNATION.
The Mail and Express Makes Some
Remarks on the Subject.


New oRK, Jan. 9.-Willam p st. John,
president of the Mercantile National Bank,
and heretofore one of the vice-presidents of
the New York Southern Society, has re-
signed the latter office and likewise his
membership in the society, because of the
resolutions recently adopted by that organi-
zation in respect to the memory of Hon.
jefferson Davis Mr. St Johns action
created considerable talk among members
OF the society to-day, and the prevailing
sentiment is against his course. His letter
OF resignation was published in all the
leading papers this morning, but was not
generally commented on editorially. 1t re-
mained for the Mail and EcpreSs of this
afternoon to hurrah for Mr. st. John, and
tguratively pat him on the back
COL SHEPARD EXCELs HIMSELF.
Col Shepard thus heads his editorial on
the subject: "A Revolt Against the Wor-
ship of JEFF. Davis" He then proceeds to
vilify the memory of Mr.. Davis, calling
him by such despicable names as ''arch-
traitor, unprecedented Fraud etc
Mr.. st. Johns letter of resignation does
not state that the resolutions adopted by
the society were offensive to him person-
ally, but he contends that their adoption
was reflection on the executive committee,
OF which he was O member, because that
committee had considered the question of
passing such resolutions and decided not to
do SO, out Of Difference to the feelings
of those in the society who did not sympa-
thize with any demonstration OF regard for
Mr.. Davis memory.
WILL STAND BY THEIR ACTION.
Mr.. st. John further says that there is
such an element as this in the society, and
that it is important both IN numbers and
