quesne Traction road, and hereafter the new

ploy union men, and to endeavor to prevent
their friends from riding on that road. Mr..
Dempsey stated last night that all the roads
in the city except the Pleasant Valley and
Fifth Avenue Traction are now union lines.

Complaints Renewed That the Carpenters
Arc Not Being Paid.
The Master Builders claimed yesterday to
be gaining ground very rapidly and expect
soon to see the men concede defeat. Secre-
tary Hamilton was asked if there were any
indications of a conference, to which he re-
piled: "There is no need of one. The strike
is gradually dwindling down to the sharp
point of nothing. It's dying out, and the
men are returning to work"
Chairman SwaftZ, of the Strike Commit
tee, denied that their ranks were more un-
broken than on May l, and says the claims
of the bosses are entirely unfounded. Work
is still in progress at Alvin Joslyn the
ater.

money that was due last Saturday has not
yet been paid to them, and many of them
say that ii the benefits are not paid to-mor-

G0BBLED BY THE WHISKY TRUST.
The Schufe1dt DistIlery Which Gibson
Tried to Blow Up Is Sold.

CHICAGO, June A gigantic deal, negotia-
tions toward which have been carried on for
the past week, was consumated this evening.
By the papers, which were signed, the
Whisky Trust has at last acquired outright
the only remaining important antitrust es-
tablishment in the West-the great Chicago
distilleries owned by H. Schufeldt & Co. and
the Calumet Distii!ing Company.
The Schufeldt disti1lery is the one partly
burned yesterday, and for the attempted
blowing up of which by dynamite some
weeks ago j. A. Gibson, the Secretary of the
Whisky Trust, is now under Indictment. 1t
is thought by many that the transaction
may materially affect the Gibson case, by re-
moving any vindictive feeling toward him
entertained by the Schufeldts.

GENERAL CROP PROSPECTS.
Wheat May Be Above the Average in This
State, and Fruit Promises Well.

State, and Fruit PROMISES Wen.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATCH.1
HARRISBURG, June 4.-Secretary Edge, of
the State Board of Agriculture, from returns
made to him last month has prepared re-
port showing the crop prospects. The wheat
crop this year will be above the average for
the past 20 years. The growth of straw is
not heavy, but it will be above the average
for the last ten years. The crop of hay has
been shortened by the unusual dry weather
of spring and early summer. In the south
ern part of the State the rain came too late
to benefit the clover, which will be shorter
than usual. Timothy will be fully up to the
average for 20 years. The young clover and
timothy has in many portions of the State
suffered much from dry weather.
The oats crop will be short over the whole
State. Early planted potatoes will lose much
by the failure to sprout regularly. Later
paintings will give better crop: Live stock,
owing TO short pastures, is hardly up to the
average condition. The fruit crop will be
fully up to the average.

More Buying Done in Pittsburg Yesterday
Than for Many Weeks.
Yesterday was the busiest day Pittsburg
merchants have had for many weeks. Ap-
parently the present weather brought out
everybody who had been putting off the
shopping tour as long as possible, and the
streets and stores swarmed with people hur-
rying along to finish the days buying.
Nor was it only "pleasant-day' shopping
throng-people who merely go to see or have
some place to go. Everybody seemed to
have an object in view, and that object was
to buy. This was pleasant for merchants to
contemplate but they hadn't time to do that
until it was all over.

THE PEOPLES BANKS
Greatly Aided by a Bill Just Signed
by Governor PattisOn.
AN ACT PERMITTING BORROWING.
Building and Loan Associations Set Squarely
on Their Feet.
NO NEED OF GETTING SHORT OF MONEY

Many Pittsburgers are pleased over the
signing of the building and loan association
bill by Governor Pattison. This is a city OF
such organizations, and anything tending to
benefit them is received with general salts
faction. As result there were many
smiling faces about town yesterday morning
over the news. The bill authorizes building
and loan associations, in addition to the
powers they now possess, when applications
for loans by stockholders thereof shall ex-
ceed the accommodations in the treasury, to
make temporary loans of money to meet
such demands, not exceeding in the aggre-
gate at any time $4,000. at less rate of in
terest than per cent and secure the pay
ment of the same, said loans to be repaid
out of the Accommodations in the treasury as
soon as sufficient is paid in and there is no
demand therefor by borrowing stockholders.
Heretofore building associations have
been unable lawfully to borrow money and
much inconvenience has been caused The
bill was gotten up to do away with the
difficulty. These associations, like other
business concerns, often run short of funds,
which temporarily prevents them from
satisfying the wishes of their customers.
The organizations had no right to borrow
the money needed, but often the officers
made the loans ON their own responsibility.
Noiccu .+a veteran.
City Clerk George Booth is one of the
veteran building and loan association men
of this city, having been actively engaged in
the work for the past 20 years and being now
connected with about q dozen associations.
He was highly pleased to learn that the bill
had been signed.
at is one of the best things that ever hap
pened for the building and loan associa-
tions," said he. "The privilege to borrow
money in the name OF the association will
be valuable assistance to the business. 1t
often happens that just when stakeholder
wants to get some money there is none in
the treasury though there may be more
than is wanted in the course OF a week or
two. In such cases it has been the custom
for the Board of Directors to go to n bank
and borrow the money, becoming individu-
ally liable for the amount. Hereafter the
associations can secure the loans on their
own responsibility and great inconVcn-
fence will be shifted from the shoulders OF
the officers. Every man connected with
such an organization will be glad to learn OF
the passage of the bill.
Mayor Gourley has had considerable eX-
perience in this line of business and knows
the difficulty under which the associations
have labored. In speaking oft yesterday
he said:
'The new law will have very salutary
effect on building and loan operations. As
sociations cannot afford to disappOint their
stockholders when they want money, but
there has heretofore been no legal way out
of the difficulty except by some of the
officers advancing the funds from their own
pockets or borrowing on their personal
risk
