P0sTOFFICE STRIKE SETTLED,
But the Master Timers Call Local Union
No. IL to Account.

But the Master Timers Call Local Union
No. 12 to Account.
The strike at the Government Building was
declared off yesterday by the Chicago workmen
agreeing to become members of the local Or
ganization. Upon an investigation it turned
out that the steam filters from Chicago were
not residents of that city in the strict nrerpre-
tation of the laboring mems law and they were
accepted as cosmopolitans.
However, the master timers were not ex-
actly satisfied with the manner in which the
strike had been preciprated. as it is well
known that an agreement exists between Local
Union No. Il and the masters. which provides
that when grievances arise, they shall be re-
ferred to a standing conference committee.
A meeting of this committee was called last
night at the office of Rasner e Dinger. on Mar
ket street. The lnaster timers committee is
composed of William Keely,A. Rasner, Thomas
w. Irwin. ]. B. Nobbs and Thomas McElroy.
The members of Local Union No. 12 were
treated to an overhauling for having ignored
their agreement and participating IN strike
before referring their grievances to the COM
mittee. and the question the masters wanted to
have answered was whether any one had the
of their agreement, If so, they wanted the
agreement annulled, as the purpose OF the con-
tract was to avoid strikes.
Members of the local union have become
thoroughly satisfied that they can settle their
difficulties directly with their employers, and
it is not unlikely that they will withdraw from
the Trades Council. Mr.. Rasner, of Rasner &
Dinger, was seen yesterday and said: 1T was
very peculiar that the timers should partici-
pate in the strike, hut think they saw where
they made the mistake and they were very
anxious to reconsider their action. Another
thing we want is the abolition of the walking
delegate system. No one can tell what an In
convenience it is to us for men to be seat home
from pressing job without us knowing any,
thing about.it. 1t is also very expensive, as the
men lose great deal Of time for which we are
compelled to pay"

sOVERTAKEN BY FATE.

Another Brakeman Killed on the Fit. Wayne
Road-A Negro Drinks Acid Instead of
Beer - Coasting Accidents Reported
Both In City and Country.
Only one accidental death was reported
Yesterday, but this lack is made up by the
fact that a negro drank acid. Coasting is
responsible for two more victims.
WELsH-A young man named Welsh, a
brakeman in the Ft. Wayne Railroad yards
was knocked down and killed by an engine
about o'clock last night near the Anderson
street crossing. His body was frightfully cut
and mangled. 1t was placed on an engine and
moved to Woods Run, near which vicinity his
parents live. His age was about 21 years.
WELLs-James Wells, a brakeman on the
FIT. Wayne Railroad, fell from freight train
al Shields station yesterday afternoon. He
suffered fracture of the left thigh. He was
removed to the West Penn Hospital. Wells is
married man. 46 years of age.
MALoNEY-John Maloney. laborer en-
ployed at the Homestead mill. was brought to
the Mercy Hospital yesterday suffering from
fractured right leg, which he received by fall
ing from scaffold.
SMITH-WillIam Smith, q colored hod car
rier at the new Kelly building, Wylie avenue,
drank acid in mistake for beer yesterday. His
mouth was terribly burned. and his teeth were
loosened by the effects of the acid.

DRESSED BEEF MINIMUM.

The Joint Committee May Advance the
Weight to 22, 900 Pounds-Railroad Tom
mage Is Not So Heavy, But Rates Are
Higher.
General Freight Agent c. S. Wight, Of
the western end of the Baltimore and Ohio
road, went to New York last evening to at
tend joint committee meeting. The prin-
cipal business is the old problem Of paying
commissions in the passenger department,
which has been SO difficult to settle. The lead
ing roads favor their abolishment. but the
weaker lines kick over the traces and here is
the rub. An attempt will also be made to
fix the minimum weight for dressed beef in re-
frigerator cars. The live stock and grain mini
NUNS have been advanced. At present 10000
pounds is the lowest allowed for dressed beef
and Mr.. Wright thinks it may be put up to
1900 pounds but he does not believe it can be
raised to "a 900, as some of the freight agents
desire. The business to be transacted is really
not important. but it is good idea to get the
agents together once in a while.
In speaking of the prospects for the freight
business MIR. Wight said: THE outlook for
the present IS very good. The crops were
partial failure and the tonnage will not be as
heavy as last year. when some of the roads were
blockaded with grain and it was necessary to
side-track great many loaded cars, but
think the net earnings will not he affected,
since we are getting better rates. The rates on
oats. wheat and corn have been advanced,
and think the reads have reason to hope to Sc
cure even more money for transportation. There
is no trouble anywhere, and the disposition pro-
walls to maintain the tariffs. We have nothing
to look out for now but labor troubles. You
can't tell how long the present peaceful rela-
tions will continue. The men are all clamoring
for more money. l have no objection to work
men organizing to better their condition. That
is good idea, but they have no right to prevent
others from taking their jobs if they don't
want them.
Il am looking forward to a good year. Box
cars are scarce on all the roads, but gondolas
are more plentiful"

SALESAIEN,s CONVENTION.
The Annual Gathering of Representatives q
the II. j. Heinz Company.

The Annual Gathering of Representatives of
the II. j. Heinz Company.
The annual convention of the salesmen of
the II. J. Heinz Company, which is in prog
ress in this city, is full of interest. The
meetings are being held in the new Heinz
building in Allegheny A hundred or more
statesmen from San Francisco, Texas, st.
Paul, Denver, the New England States and
all parts of the country are in attendance.
Yesterday morning the convention was
addressed by B. c. Christy, ESQ.,, who spoke
on infringements of trademarks and the
proprietary rights of the firm as guaranteed
by the patent laws. The address was of deep
interest, and from it the statesmen cleaned
many new and valuable points and ideas on
the question which will be of much use to
them when they return to their respective
fields OF labor.
Dinner and supper are served daily in the
restaurant attached to the building, and the
delegates are also being entertained at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel.
The library and reading room connected
with the building has been supplied with an
elegant new organ, and between sessions of
the convention the delegates possessing mu-
sical talent entertain their co-laborers in a
delightful manner.
Yesterday during the progress of the con-
vention many of the leading merchants of
the two cities visited the hall and extended
their congratulations to the assembled sales
men.
To-day will be the last day Of the conven-
ton. 1t will conclude at 6 o'clock this
evening with a grand banquet in the new
factory building, for which extensive prep
arations have been made.

CONSIDERED VERY NARROW.

Major Moreland Deserts His Office for His
Home-Country Roads and City Streets
n on the Same Basis-Made to Fit Former
Decisions.
In the law department of the city there was
a noticeable absence of the City Attorney.
Major Moreland read the opinion yesterday
and then went home for the day. w. H.
House was found in the Office and gave out
informally as his private opinion that the
opinion was hardly as good as his law. He
said:
The trouble is that Judge Williams is not
broad enough. He wants to govern the streets
OF PIttsburg by the same laws that direct the
road supervision in the wilds of Tioga county.
He seems TO have gone out of his way to at
tack the Board OF Viewers. That system is
much cheaper and more satisfactory than the
old way of going 10 court and having viewers
appointed for ch street that is to be opened
or improved. The experience gained IN one
case is useful in another, while if a separate
board sets on each, case they have not the
benefit of any such experience Then two
streets may be opened in the same locality
and the Board of Viewers will assess
damages and benefits not only for
the street but for the surface drainage in that
locality. Another set0f men locating street

German Catholics at Homestead Organize
. Separate Congregation.
The German Catholics at Homestead have
organized and will build new church. Nearly
a year ago a committee called ON Bishop
Phelan and presented him petition for per-
mission to organize a congregation. The re-
qnest was then not granted. The Bishop said
that no doubt there would be a time when there
would be more than one congregation at Home
stead but as long as one priest was enough it
would not be advisable to make a separation
Since their church was burned down a few
months ago. the Germans made another at
tempt TO unite, and a few days ago a committee
called on the Bishop with petition of l3y famI-
lies. asking the privilege to build a church.
The request has been granted, and next Sun
day for the first time the German Catholics of
Homestead will have their divine services.
which will be held in Shuckman's Hall by
Father L. B. Duffner, who, for the time being
will have charge of the new congregation. The
ground has about been purchased and the
building of new church will be commenced
early in the spring.
Father Bullion will also begin early in the
spring TO build large new brick church and a
new priests house at a cost of S4O,0O0.

Braddock.

Matters Assuming Their Original Shape at
Braddock.
The hearings in the cases of the Hungarians,
who are in Jail on charge of being implicated
in the riot at the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works recently, were postponed at Braddock
yes terday. This necessitated the re-commit-
nent of 22 of the 81 who are now in Jail. The
hearing was postponed by Justice of the Peace
Hoffman, of Braddock, until Saturday after
noon at o'clock.
Matters are in pretty good shape at the Ed
gar Thomson works. All departments have re-
sumed operations, and all the furnaces except
those undergoing repairs have been blown in.
The firm is having no difficulty in securing
men enough without employing any of the
rioters. This bears out the original claims of
The DISPATCH that the strike itself would not
hinder the operation of the works.
MIR. Llshman, of the company, said he knew
the men were entirely satisfied with the wages
they are now getting, as theirs is one of the
few firms here that have not reduced the pay
OF their employees.

Mr.. Jaques Says the Stocks Are Low All
Over the Country.
George M. Jaques. editor of the CrockeTy
and Glass Journal is still at the Monongahela
House. He expects to visit the pottery men at
East Liverpool to-day. About dozen sales
men have arranged their displays at the
Monongahela House, but there are number of
agents still to come in.
Mr.. Jaques says the prospects for tho glass
business are good. but you hear the old cry on
every hand, hat:there is no money in the trade.
He has been around among the local manufact-
urers, and they all make the same complaint.
The shrinkage in prices during the last five
years has been awful
Mr.. Jaques adds that the buyers have been
purchasing on a hand-to-mouth pasis. Every
body has been very careful not to lay in large
stocks. Indeed. the stocks all over the country
are light. and there is a tendency now to buy on
a more extensive scale.
AS for the furniture business, which he also
represents in another trade paper, be claims
furnlturei is much lower in price than it was 20
years ago, but the furniture men are securing
fair rates for their product. This has been
brought about by combination.
