stated that they ought to have at work at
least 1 200 employees to handle the business
promptly. There is no hope of the force

AN OHIO EXPERIMENT.
PROGRESS IN THE FREE EMPLOYMENT
...... BUREAU IDEA.

Statistics for the First Six Months of the
Operation of the Corcoran Lava Sue
cess Beyond Expectations-The Private
Bureaus Forced Out of Business.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHI
CLEVELAND, March 22.-Among the
measures passed by the present Democratic
Legislature last winterwas the Corcoran bill
establishing free employment agencies in the
three cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland and
Columbus. 1t was introduced by Senator
Michael T.. Corcoran, of Cincinnati, Dem
ocrat, and was passed principally
by Democratic votes. The agitation
in favor of such a measure was be-
gun by the Municipal Labor Congress, of
Cincinnati, an organization composed of all
trade and labor unions in the city. The
original idea was to make these free en-
ployment bureaus branches of the State
Bureau of Labor Statistics, under pay of
the State, but this was amended so that the
cities pay half the expense OF maintaining
the bureaus, the superintendent in each case
being appointed by the Governor. The law
is general in application. Anyone, whether
a resident of the city in question or not, can
apply for work, and if an employer can be
secured for him, he is located free Of charge.
One of the main features is to promote the
collection of statistics relating to the indus
trial interests of the State.
The statistics for the first six months,
which are now at hand. are very interesting.
During that time 20. 1856 persons applied for
employment, of whom IA, 529 were males and
5,607 females. Inquiries we're made by en-
ployers for Is, 154 employees, II, ,453 males
and 6, 7O1 females, an positions were secured
for 6,9S2 persons, 5, 5i5 of whom were. males
and 3, 407 females. When the fact that the
offices were not generally known and had no
money to use for advertising is considered,
the record is one that is certainly encourag-
ing to the friends of the law.
Private employment agencies, such as
exist in all cities, charge from 81 to 50 for
securing a position, and the Superintendents
of the State agencies estimate that they
saved the working people over $40, 900 in six
months. and to do this, cost the State but
about 5000. Prior to the establishment of
the free State agencies in the three cities IL
private employment agencies existed and
most of them did thriving business. The
State bureau is steadily drawing patronage
away from them and will probably close
most of them in year or two. The expert
ment thus far has surpassed expectations.

Mr. Shaw Says Colonel Rend's Attack on
His System Was Unfair.
Thomas Shaw, the gas expert, returned to
Philadelphia last evening. He said he was
we'll pleased with his treatment in Pitts
burg. He was sorry that Colonel Rend
was not present at the meeting to hear
him answer his questions He called at the
Monongahela House several times to see
him, but the Colonel was not in. Mr.. Shaw
said Colonel Rend's attack on his system
was not fair, since he has not seen the ap-
paratus work and was unwilling to debate
the subject
'"rhe operators" he said, "will not touch
any system that costs money. In this in
stitute most of the members are mine bosses.
They are men who expect promotion, and
are afraid to speak their minds freely for
fear of the operators. Again some OF them
think that my system to detect gases will
displace them. but they ought to know that
no mine could be run without them. They
refused to indorse that part of the system
which notifies the miner of the presence of
gas by means Of signals. I regard this
feature of the plan as the most important.

ALL NOT REPUBLICAN.
Colored Democrats Claim Their Party
Is Their Only Salvation.
AN ELECTION LAW NOT NEEDED.
Reports of Southern Outrages Either Not
True or Exaggerated.
STATE LEAGUE CLUBS TO MEET TO-DAY

The Democratic State Colored League will
hold special meeting in Philadelphia to-
day. Robert G. Still, Vice President, and
James H. Howard, Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee, of the Quaker City, were in
Pittsburg yesterday. They were going home
from meeting held in Cincinnati.
Mr.. Still, who is an intelligent eolored
man, said: Democratic negroes are not as
scarce as many people imagine. 1 think
the Democratic party is our only hope Of
salvation. At the meeting in Philadelphia,
the situation in this State and the South
will be discussed with a view to guide col
ored men in their voting. A State Treas
urer will soon be elected, and we would like
to see Democrat fill that office.
81 am opposed to the Federal elections
bill. The colored men in the South are as
we'll represented as they can be under the
circumstances, and many of the reports
about Southern outrages are highly ex-
aggerated, or originated in the fertile brains
of Northern Republicans who circulated
them for effect. 1 have lived in
the South, and lately have
travelled extensively through the country,
The colored men are not kept from voting,
and in fact the Southern Democrats were
their best friends. 1t hurts the Republicans
to see so many negroes vote the Democratic
ticket. The truth is that the most intelli-
gent OF our race in the South are
Democrats, and all they ask of the RepublI-
cans is to be left alone. They want no cleo
tion law to protect them, and they take it
as a reflection that they are unable to care
for themselves. can readily see how you
could drive us from the polls with shot
gun, but don't understand how you can
get our votes by force. In Florida the rec
ords show list OF 5000 eolored Democratic
voters"
The irrepressible Walter Brown was the
Pittsburg representative. He claimed they
were gaining in strength in Pittsburg, and
the time was coming when the colored peo-
pie will see the fallacy of voting with the
Republican party.

BEATING TOLL COLLECTORS.
How Some People Try to Avoid Paying a
Cent to Cross Bridges.

How Some People Try to Avoid Paying a
Cent to Cross Bridges.
People don't like to pay TOLL" said a
collector on one of the bridges yesterday.
"Every day somebody tries to beat US. I am
surprised how certain prominent men will
hold up card and would have US believe it
is a pass. 1t is an interesting study to
stand on any of the bridges about dusk and
watch the people trying to get over without
paying. There is the man who attempts to
sneak by you on the other side,
trusting to the gloom not to reveal him.
Another waits for crowd and pushes
himself through, hoping that those around
will conceal him. Some make great bluff
at being absent mlnde J, and walk on with
out apparently hearing our shouts until the
big policeman taps them on an arm, and
with cuss word on the lips hand goes
down into pocket and the precious cent is
handed forth.
"We have considerable trouble with
strangers from other cities where the bridges
are free. These people will go by without
thinking, and when brought back to the
window will insist on arguing the point for
awhile. A wild fusilade generally follows
against city that will allow its citizens to
be robbed in this manner. Oh, assure
you, lots of oratory and TRADES are lost on
the empty air at the ends of the city bridges"

Agent Pitkin was glad to see them. He re-
marked that Scandinavians are good people
and make first-class farmers; no Malta
among them.
One OF the party, Mrs. Josephina Bern
hart, no relative of the great Sara. had a
very sick child. When she arrived in New
York two weeks ago the woman was taken
ill, and some friends voiunteed to care for
the baby. They neglected the little thing
so badly that in a short time it was covered
with filth, and now some ugly running
sores have broken out on its body. A ply
siclan visited the child Yesterday, and
thought with the proper care that it would
recover. The poor woman sat in the station
holding the baby, and she was very much
afraid it would die. She also had young
infant only few weeks ago, and between
the two she was an object of pity. The
other women, however, helped her to care
for both.

Old Man Murry Boards Cable Car, Forget

Frank Murry is an old landscape garden

given to act eccentrically at times. He
frightened the conductor and passengers on
a cable car yesterday morning nearly out of
their lives by fourIshing i revolver when the
ringer.in of fares mildly requested him to
return home and finish his toilette.
Mr.. Murry may have had pressing en-
gagement at East Liberty and tied down to
time, for when he boarded car at Oak
land, he was without hat, coat or shoes.
The conductor felt his dignity set at naught
by such an unceremonious proceeding and
tried to put the old man off Murry
did not say much, and drawing
revolver handled it in such way as to sug.
gest rain OF bullets, if the conductor be-
came too pressing. The latter thought it
safest to allow the old man to ride, and at
the terminus an officer brought him to the
Nineteenth ward station, where Sergeant
Best found the iron contained six shells.
Mr.. Murry's excuse for carrying the weapon
was that gang of young men at Oakland
desired to kill him.

DRUNK AND QUARRELsOME.

Three Men Cause Almost Panic Before an
Oakland Church.
Three men were verv drunk and quarrel
ing in front of the Oakland NJ. E. Church,
on Forbes street, last evening. Some boys
standing near began to make fun of them
They turned on the boys and chased them
around tine church. One of the men had a
a long pair of scissors in his hand, and the
other two had knives.
The congregation was just leaving the
church, and the chase caused considerable
excitement. Several ladies' were badly
frightened. The officers of the Oakland
patrol station were notified, and after quite
a struggle the men were landed at the Four
teenth ward station. They gave their names
as Charles MunchusI, Mike Nardock and
Lumke Fritz
