LIKELYT0 BACKD0W
Railroad Miners Will Probably Give
Up the Strike To-Day.
COSTELLO STILL PERSISTENT,
But Operators Feel Certain They Will Be
Able to Resume.
COLORED CARPET BEATERS ORGANIZE

To-day the miners of the Pittsburg dis
trict will meet in convention. 1t is thought
that the convention will be short-Gved, as
the miners throughout the district are weak
ening, and measures for speedy conclusion
of the trouble are looked for.
Yesterday well-attended mass meet
ing was held at Findleyville, which
was addressed by President Costello. When
he returned last night he was reticent about
talking of miners matters. In speaking of
the meeting he said: ''There were 500
miners in attendance. The men all seemed
firm and promised big turnout at to-day's
convention"
As to the outcome of the convention, Mr..
Costello had nothing to say, more than that
the men were willing to keep up the fight
and carry it on to the inevitable end. BE
also said that no operators had been asked
to be admitted to the convention, and he
did not think they would want to, as he
thought they did not have any compromises
to offer.
The NcKeesport steel operators are now
feeling confident that the strike is vertually
over and they are getting their usual
amount of coal on hand, and they are now
going ahead as before the strike. At Scott
Haven the miners in W. S. Scott's mines
all went to work

The printers are now making new move
in their strike. Yesterday they started
committees to canvass work for the union
offices, and particularly to work against the
non-union employers. They also claim to
have won their boycott against the Repub-
ican and Democratic tickets They say
that both pa;ties have thrown away the first
tickets, which were printed in non-union
Offices and have had them printed in union
offices. AT the headquarters of both par
ties the officials yesterday said the tickets
had been printed in union offices.

Skilled Work Gets Big Money, While
Other Departments Are Cut Down.
The Edgar Thomson Steel Works, OF
Rraddock, presented the scale to the men
and it was signed by nearly all the men.
The scale will be used for the next three
years. The skilled workmen in the finish
ing department were given large increase
Of wages, while in the rolling and convert
ing departments there was a corresponding
decrease. The scale on the whole is con-
sidercd satisfactory by the men. Next
will come the adjustment of the wages of
the blast furnacenlen. 1t is not known
when this scale will be presented, but it is
thought reductions also will be the rule
there. The firm has immense contracts on
hand. and the usual shut down about
Christmas will be very short this year.

A Reminder OfOld Times,

Mr.. Ben Towsen, Of Lawrenceburg,
was in the city Tuesday shaking
hands with his old friends and look
ing as young as he did a quarter Of
century ago. A sight of him brought
to mind the times of twenty-five
years ago, when there was daily
stage line between this city and Dan
vile and Ben handled the lines over
four horse team. Every man, woman
and child, white and black, at both
ends Of the line and along the road,
knew and liked Ben Towsen in those
days, and the little knots that gather
ed around him Tuesday wherever he
stopped upon the streets, showed that
he had lost none ofhis popularity here,
though he seldom comes to see us of
late years. The railroads have broken
up Ben's business now, and he has
settled down to a quiet, stay at home
life, but he is as fond ola joke as ever
and his smile as "child-like and
bland" May he live for ever and
then turn into ground hog.

Fortune i'm a Horse.

Mr.. Horace Cunningham, of Knox
vile, Iowa, six years ago, was a COM
paratively poor man, in the hardware
and tin business. He was fond of
trotting horses and came out to Ken
lucky to attend the Lexington trot-
log races, where he met Mr.. w. j.
Lewis, of the firm Of w. j. & w. H..
Lewis, Belair Stock Farm, of this
county, who brought him home with
him, showed him the stock on the
place and as result Mr.. Cunningham
bought several horses, among them
the two.year-o colt Advance, by
Onward, 2:25i; dam Mist, 2:292, by
King Rene. This colt proved gold
mine to Mr.. Cunningham, for his
services in the stud brought his owner
in revenue that enabled him to
quit his old business and go regularly
into thelbreeding Of trotters, in which
he has been eminently successful, and
has recently built him a fine resi-
dence in Knoxville, purchased nice
farm, and is now independently rich.
Last week he sold Advance for twen-
ty-five thousand dallars, one of his
get having made record Of 1928 and
several others going mile at nearly
the same rate Of speed. Mr.. Cunning
ham dates his prosperity from the
day he paid two thousand dollars for
Advance, has great faith in Messrs.
w. j. & w. II. Lewis and still pays
them visit once a year, generally
returning home the owner Of some Of
their young trotters.

That Game of Ball.

Ball mines played another game at
Lake Park on Saturday, and the en-
ployes ofour esteemed contemporary
are now bemoaning the terrible fate
which befel them on that day. They
went down to the grounds thirsting
for revenge and determined to wipe
our boys from the face of the earth,
but were themselves done up in
manner they bitterly despise. They
fell before the curves of VanDerveer
and Suter as grass before a cyclone,
and from start to finish were powerless

A kick was made against Mr.. R. A.
VanDerveer, who has been an en-
ploye of this establishment for sew
eral years and member of our team
for the past three seasons, play
ing with our boys, becaused he plays
an occasional game with the Crutch-
er & Starks Club. This cut no figure
in the case, as Dick only pitched five
innings, and they could do no more
with Suter, who followed him, than
they did with Dick, so we can down
them with Dick left out, as we have
other good material to draw from.
Therefore, brethren, we stand
ready and willing to be paralyzed,
yea even mopped from the face of the
earth, whenever the spirit moves the
gentlemen of the opposing nine to
buck against us. With Dick or Suffer
in the box, Roberts to catch, Bull
to do the home run act, and Morse,
Dezie, Woods and the balance Of the
boys to line 'em out, we can make it
right interesting for any lot of prints
