EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE

Shown in the Deserted Appearance of
Many of the Big Retail Stores-Heavy
Drop in the Att enhance of Buyers In AN
ofThem.
The effects Of a general strike such as is
now on in Pittsburg are far-reaching. They
60 way beyond the lines of trade in which
the men were engaged, and are felt
probably more Immediately by retail deal
ers than by any other class of merchants.
Friday is 'bsrgain day" here; it is the
one day of all others on which wage
earners are nvited to the big retail houses
to take advantage of "bargain" prices The
result was that yesterday was not red let
ter day In all the clothing and general fur
nishing stores. II was one Of the du Hest
days in the retail trade that has been known
for years. In many of the large downtown
stores, where, upon Fridays, the crowd of
purchasers has been so large that it might
be termed a crush. the clerks in some places
outnumbered the buyers at certain portions
of the day. The dullness was not confined
to any one establishment, but applied to
all.
Even Friday a week ago fhe signs Of the
coming strike were apparent People
whose support were dependent upon those
who expected to 60 out on the first of May
even then had begun to prepare for the hard
times that were believed to be coming.
Bargain days are not expected to amount to
much ii the strike continues, and indeed the
merchants have decided to prepare for
general drop in trade on all days until q
settlement is reached. ..t.-
What affects the retailer of course affects
also the wholesaler and the jobber. Stocks
will not be replenished until there is a
settled demand from the retailers. Grocers
are not much better of than other retailers.
People have to eat, but they will only buy
the necessaries Of Lie, while cutting off
what may be considered the luxuries.
Financial men on Fourth avenue, while they
say that the effect of the strike will be felt in
all lines of trade, aver that the warning was
made too long ago for them to be incon-
venienced to sny great extent. Its effects
had been discounted, and while there would
no doubt be period of stagnatlon, serious
consequences were not feared.

EIGHT-HOUR LOCKOUT.

Miners Strike in Wheeilng-Carpenters Idle
in Many Places-w. L. Scott Orders His
Contractor to Pay the Advance-Yough
DIggers Accept the Scale.
A mass meeting of miners from the
Yough river was held at Douglas station
yesterday. 1t was agreed to accept the
wages of last year, which are 80 cents per
ton. No reference was made to the eight
hour movement.
At Wheeling ], 900 miners yesterday struck
because the operators had not signed the
scale. In the Clearfeld and Dubois regions
the men are at work.
In Erie four planning mills have granted
their men the eight-hour demand. w. L.
Scott has ordered his contractor to pay the
advance to the men building his new house.
In McKeesport the carpenters have gone
out ALI work except at the National Tube
Works is stopped.
In Beaver Falls and New Brighton sew
eral planning mills and contractors have
granted the demands. At meeting the
carpenters decided that 81 80 will be
the wages for a day of nine hours. At
New Castle the boss carpenters and con-
tractors held a meeting and decided not to
grant the 81 so for nine hours work. They
offered sliding scale of 81 to s. 80, accord
ing to the skill of the men employed, which
was rejected. About 200 men are affected
in Lawrence county.
At Youngstown 500 carpenters quit work.
If the carpenters would withdraw from the
trades union it is said the contractors would
offer terms OF settlement that would be salts
factory to the union. Several small con-
tractors have signed the scale.

SHOULDERS GOING DOWN.
We Are to Have Long, Tight Fitting Sleeves
just Slightly Raised.


We Are to Have Long, Tight-Fitting Sleeves
just Slightly Raised.
All the best dress makers of London say
that the high, full sleeves are doomed. The
swell gowns, on dit, are to be made with
long, tight-ftting sleeves, just slightly
raised at the shoulder. 1 am sorry enough
to hear this, for surely the graceful outline
of well-draped sleeve mas been boon to
the many thin-armed women, who look and
feel ''scraggy' in clcsely-hung sleeve.
Those who know say that the lowering of
our shoulders is due to the decrease of ten
mis- playing among women. Feminine devo-
tees of that hard-working pastime declare
that the constant use of the muscles of the
right shoulder unduly developed that side
of the female form divine, and many of
them became crooked. How to disguise
this unfortunate ineo uality was a question
that agitated many fair breasts two or three
years ago.
Suddenly well-known modiste remem-
bered that good queen Bess" of centuries
ago had similar failing, through no fault
of her own, which she obviated by building
up her shoulders to match. So this histori-
cally thinking dress maker turned ont one
of our tennis playing young Processes with
heightened shoulders, and the effect is as we
have seen, Now tennis is going out and
shoulders are going down. But there are
lots of women, nevertheless, who will stick
to the softly draped effects, for they are
surely both becoming and graceful.

lENEWED THE OLD SCALE,
The Price for Mining in Ohio Is Fixed for
the Year.


the Year.
A dispatch received last night from Co.
lumbus states that the coal mining differ
ences in Ohio have been adjusted for the
coming year. The terms as agreed upon
are the same as were in effect last year.
The miners are to receive 20 cents per ton
in the Hooking Valley and the usual
graded scale for other districts. The scale
for machine mining was not fixed owing to
inability of miners and operators to agree
upon prices. 1t is barely possible
the open machine mine question may yet
cause trouble. The conference adjourned
with all parties apparently satisfied. About
90 delegates were present from all the coal
districts of the State. President John B.
Rae, of the United Mine Workers, made
the principal address, advising the men
concerning the future course, and stating
there would very likely be a strike among
the Pennsylvania and Iowa miners. The
following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has come to the knowledge of
the convention that there are several places in
this district working more than nine hours q
day; therefore.
to hereafter work no more than nine hours for
days work, and that the half holiday be also
adhered to.
Resolved. That we indorse the action of the
National Executive Board in declaring the
eight-hour movement off for the present.
Resolved, That we favor resumption of
work from date until May !, 1892 a. last years
prices and conditions, 20 cents for Hooking
Valley for pick mining, excepting that part OF
il relating to machine mining.
Resolved, That the machine question be re-
ferred to the machine miners for final adjust
ment, and that ii necessary the pick miners
will divide up the work with them or render
them financial assistance il required.
