A STRONGER ORGANIZATION.
Bright Prospects for the Future of Il
Central Trades Council

Bright Prospects for the Future Of the
Central Trades Council.
AS predicted in THE DISPATCH few
days ago, there Wilt be no Labor Day
demonstration in this city this fall. The
Central Trades Council took final action on
the matter last night and decided that mas
much as the various building trades organi-
cations had suffered considerably this sum-
mer it would be inexpedient to put them to
the expense of proper observance of Labor
Day.
Chairman McKeever and Messrs. Wyatt
and Evans, of the committee appointed to
visit the heads of the various unions in be-
broader basis, reported that they were meet
ing with the greatest success. There was
every probability of the council being re-
organized early in September. The ne
cessity for closer relations between the vari-
GUS unions, it was stated, was never more
apparent than at present, and from the re-
port of the committee it was evident that
the members of the unions were fully alive
to the situation.
Mr.. Wyatt said after the meeting ad-
iourned that the new Central Trades Coun-
Gil would undoubtedly be the strongest rep
resentative body of the kind Allegheny
county ever had He expressed the utmost
surprise at the wholesome condition in
which he found the building trades since
their difficulties; and as all have recon-
mended that their bodies be represented in
the new organization, large and infuen-
tial organization is looked for.

A NEW MUSICAL INVENTION.
Is 1t IN Organ or q Pianoe

All the objections to the parlor organ are
tioa. 1t has seven full octaves Gas many
keys as the Steinway Grands) and looks ex-
actly like fine upright piano. There are
no stops in view nor any unsIghtly bellows
pedals, but the instrument is worked by two
pedals exactly like those on piano, and a
6-year-old child is able to work them with
ease. The delicacy and variety of its tones
are wonderful and the touch so light and
quick that the most difficult piano pieces
can be executed thereon without difficulty.
1t is marvellous improvement on the COM
mon parlor organ and has created great
sensation in musical circles. The price is
not higher than that of the ordinary organ.
II. Kleber & Bro, 506 Wood street, are the
sole agents, and they invite all, whether
purchasers or not, to call and see it.

No Need to Fear a Scarcity of Hands to
Operate New Bottle Factories.
There seems to be no foundation for the
rumor that the green bottle trade is suffer-
ing from dearth of apprentices. In the
recent conference on the scale between the
men and the manufacturers it was developed
that under the present rule there will be
next fire 14O new apprentices, these to-
gether with 100 or more who have lust
finished their apprenticeship and 80 or 60
journeymen who have at present no places
and still others who will be thrown out of
employment because their factories will not
resume, will more than supply, it is said,
any demand that may be made in the event
of new factories starting up.
The conference on the amalgamation with
the Flints has not yet taken place. J. H. E.
Goss, of st. Louis, is still here and will
probably arrange for meeting next week.

ONE DEPARTMENT CLOSED.
The Old Open Hearth Furnace at Home
stead May Be Abolished.

The Old Open Hearth Furnace at Home
stead May Be Abolished.
Seven furnaces in the old open hearth
department of Carnegie, Phipps & Co. s
Homestead Steel Works, were closed down
yesterday, with no prospects of again start
ing up at an early date. Nearly 800 men are
idle, and many of them are leaving for work
elsewhere.
The reason for closing is that the firm has
within the past year built another plant
which is known as Open Hearth No. 2,
and having the same number of
furnaces as the old, but with
the introduction of modern machinery
which includes o charging machine, it re-
quires less than half the number of men
employed in the old plant to operate it,
and, therefore, reducing the cost of pro-
duction.
There is q rumor current that the old
open hearth shop will be converted into
shop for the manufacture Of speciality in the
soft steel line.

APPLYING ELECTRICITY.
A New Process Used BY a Local Company

A New Process Used BY a Local Company
to Extract Aluminium.
The Pittsburg Reduction Company Is
operating new process in the extraction of
aluminium, by the application of electricity.
1t consists of forming fused bath of the
fuorides of aluminium, calcium and sodium,
to which calcium chloride is subsequently
added, by melting a mixture of cryolite,
aluminium fiuoride and fluorspar in suit
able vessel lined with carbon, adding alum
ina thereto, and then separating the alumi-
mum by the current from dynamo, the car
bon electrodes of which dip into the bath.
The process is continuous, because the al
uminum is renewed as 1t becomes exhausted
One merit of the process is that the fused
bath is of less specific gravity than the
aluminium set free, which therefore sinks to
the bottom of the vessel. If alloys are de-
sired the negative electrode is formed of
the metal which it is desired to alloy with
aluminium 49,.
