LEADERS WILL STAND ASIDE.
Men From the Ranks VIII Try to Settle the
Coke Strike.


Coke Strike.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 9.-The coke workers
will adopt new tactics to settle the great strike.
The leaders have agreed to stand aside and
allow the men to act. With this end in view a
convention of the strikers was called by Peter
Wise for tomorrow, the object being the ap-
pointment of a board of Cancellation. The
board will consist entirely of men from the
ranks and will ask for n conference with the
operators as representatives of the employees
and not as an organization.
Peter Wise, master workman of the knights
of Labor. and Vice President Penna of the
United Mine Workers left for the east this
morning. Wise will stop at Philadelphia, where
he will appear before the general executive
board of the knights of Labor and try to in
duce Mr.. Powderly to come here. Penna will
visit the headquarters of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor in New York.
In speaking Of tomorrow's convention Peter
Wise said: We want peace. If the men can
make terms with the operators the officers and
leaders are willing to step aside. The operators
have said that they are willing to meet the men
and we Will give them an opportunity to do SO. ="
AT MI. PLEASANT TO-DAY.
MT. PLEASANT, Pa. April 9.-Interest is GEN.
tered today in the coroner's inquest, which re-
opened at noon. So far nothing important
has been elected. The strikers seem to have
renewed hope. The leaders have been at work
among them for the past few days and the effect
is noticeable. The men are holding off until
tomorrows meeting, which was called by
Master Workman WISE 1t u evident some con-
cession is to be made by the strikers, but just
what il Is cannot be ascertained.
The usual ter.iay notices of eviction were
given the men this morning, and it did not
seem to surprise them. The soldiers will not
take any hand in the evictions unless the
strikers resort to violence.

light toilets, and the Misses McIntire In pink

back OF the line, which was constantly receiy-

naturally the center OF attraction and for the
first hour was crowded. The winding stairway
was hlled with oa-lookers as high up M they
could see the brilliant scene TRANSPORTING be-
meath them.
PRoNryaDiSo Aborr THE BUILDING.
Many after being presented promenaded
all over the building TO see the sights, from the
dynamo room in the basement to the top Of the
building in the model halls. A string band
was stationed at the corner OF the 9th street
corridor, and the music was an attraction at
that end In fact, as some Of the receiving
party expressed it, the reception lacked moth
Ing but fine supper. Somebody repeated

husband How can you" said he. talk Of

conscious of the late hour in far distant points
of the building had departed, and the largest
reception of the season. in one of the largest

THE UNION VS.. DARBY.
Union Printers Seek Employment to DO Mis-
sionary Work-What Mr. Darby Saws


sionary Work-What Mr.. Darby Says.
The case Of Columbia Typographical Union
VS.. Rufus W. Darby is still attracting some at.
tention. The strike committee is hard at work
canvassing for those printing offices which are
on the unions white list. =" and during yester-
day and today quite a large force Of clerks have
been busily engaged in mailing copies of the
white list" to all the business men of the city.
Mr.. Darby has been somewhat ANNOYED dur
ing the past two or three days by q practice
which prevails when a union strike is on. viz.
the placing Of union men in non-union offices,
SO that they may do more effectual missionary
work among the anti-union employees.
WHO WAS ROBERT KYLE2
On Monday Mr.. Darby gave employment TO a
man who represented himself to be one Robert
Kyle, and Robert proceeded Immediately to
make himself at home. Another employe
named Charles Graf recognized in Kyle \
printer named Youngblood. who had been
foreman at McGill 4 Wallace's until he was
called out by the strike. Mr.. Darby, il is said,
accused Youngblood Of being a union man
and to this Yolngblood plead guilty. but said
he supposed Mr.. Darby had no objection to
employing union hands. Mr.. Darby said he
was willing to employ any good printer, union
or non-union. but Mr. Youngblood did not put
in an appearance the next morning.

international copyright upon certain conditions
on and after July /, 1891.
The security thus constitutionally conceded
TO the rights of authors in their writings has
been materially and progressively increased by
each step taken in legislation on this subject
Under the first American law of copyright the
duration of the right was limited to fourteen
years. with privilege Of renewal. to the author
only, OF fourteen years longer. In 1881 the first
term Of copyright was heightened to twenty
was made fourteen additional years, or FORTY
two years in all. At the same time the privi-
lege OF renewal of copyright wns extended to
the widow or children of the author, provided
he were not living at the date of expiration Of
the first term. By the same act the
cover musical compositions, as II had
been earlier extended Tin 1902 to in
clude designs, engravings and etehings.
Copyright was further extended, in 1856, to
dramatic compositions, and in 1865 to photo
graphs and negatives thereof In 1870 a new
copyright code, to take the place OF all existing
and scattered statutes, was enacted, and there
were added to the lawful subjects Of copyright
paintings, drawings, chromos, statues, statuary
and models or designs intended to be perfected
as works OF the fine arts. And finally, by act
Of March 8, 1891, the benefits of copyright were
extended SO as to embrace foreign authors,

full copyright in such foreign countries as may

THE Law OF COPYRIGHT.
The law of copyright, codifed in 1870,
made an epoch in the copyright system of the
United States. 1t transferred the entire regis
try of books and other publications under
copyright law to the city OF Washington ana
made the librarian of Congress sole registrar
of copyrights, instead of the clerks of the dis
trict courts Of the United States Manifold
reasons existed for this radical change, and
those which were most influential with Congress.
in making Ii were the following:

Washington it was foreaeen, would concentrate
and simplify the business. and this was a cardi-
nal point. Prior to 1870 there were between
forty and fifty separate and distinct authorities
for issuing copyrights. The American people
were annually put to much trouble and expense
to find out where to apply, in the extended sys-
