was rendered. Judge Collier then called the
youngster up and said that though there
was no evidence against him, he was not

LAST DAY OF GRACE.
lThe Amalgamated Scale Must Be
Signed To-Day or Mills Will Stop.
CONFERENCE ASKED FOR IN OHIO.
How the Stonemasons and Plasterers Were
Forced to Work.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS

Yesterdays conference or ;he Amalgam-
ated scale was stubborn proceeding, and
when the seventh meeting adjourned
last evening the members of both
committees felt that no agreement
would be reached. AS consequence
preparations will be made to-day to close
the mills until an agreement is reached.
This may be but q day or two, and it may be
q month. The manufacturers seem deter
mined to have the short-hour clanse
eliminated, not SO much because they
object to it themselves, but because its
adoption would be an encouragement for
the eight-hour movement, to which they are
opposed on general principles They are
also opposed to it because in many cases 1t
would mean a reduction in the output,
although the men argue that this would
only be the case in some instances.
Increased Cost of Production.
James McCutcheon, of Lindsay Nc
Cutcheon, says if the scale is signed as pre-
sented, the cost of production would be in
reased 121S per cent. He also claims it
would be q loss to the men who work by the
ton. If there should only be seven heats in
stead of eight, they would of course receive
less than their ordinary wages.
There was considerable uneasiness about
the scale last night, everyone interested
knowing that if it is not settled to-day,
There are some places where the associa-
ton will have trouble whether the scale is
signed or not. At Steelton, Harrisburg and
Pencoyd dissatisfaction has reigned for
some time, and the new scale will only serve
to irritate the difficulty. 1t was reported
yesterday that many of the manufacturers
had been preparing for strike by refusing
to take orders, or at least to guarantee the
completion of work in a limited time.
Mahoning Manufacturers Prepared.
Iron manufacturers through the Mahoning
Valley are making preparations to shut down
tonight. The Mahoning and Shenango
Valley Iron Manufacturers Association sent
O telegram to Pittsburg asking when it
would be convenient for the Confer
ence Committee of the Amalgamated
Association to meet the Conference
Committee at Youngstown. The an
swer was brief and pointed. at
they want to meet the committee they will
association said they would not come to
are not averse to a conference, but they
it shall be held.
There will be lively fight at Duquesne
for the recognition of the association this
year, the lodge there having unanimously
decided to stand out for this years scale.
There are several hundred men affected in
this mill and the scale will be presented for
the firms signature to-day. The develop
ments of to-day will be watched with in
terest, ,as upon them depends the movements
of the manufacturers throughout the coun-
try.

ASSISTANT ATTORNEYS PAY.

A Resolution to Compensate Them for
Work Previously Done Meets'With Con-
siderable Opposition i'm the Common
Rranch-Did Not Reach Select.
In Common Council Mr.. MacGonnigle pre-
sented a resolution for the payment of the
Assistant City Attorneys. Mr.. O'Donnell
objected to paying the salaries from the
time that the Department of Law was de-
clared illegal They had done the work, but
the city had not authorized their employ
nent.
Mr.. Ferguson-If the city did not dispense
with the services of these gentlemen the city
l. liable.
Nj. O'Donnell-Thc Offices having been
abolished they were not in the employ OF the
city. go
( vote was taken and the resolution was
lost by one vote.
Hall an hour later Mr.. Finn moved to re-
consider the action IIe said VIXEN he had
voted against this resolution he did not
know the period of pay was limited to Au-
gust l. but thought the pay would continue
irdcrnitclv These men had earned their
money and should be paid, although he was
il favor OF stopping the pay at Julyl instead
OF August l.
MIR. Magee explained the work done by the
assistant city attorneys and said there was
no corporation doing five per cent of the bus
incsS this city does that is not paying more
Tor legal services. Mr.. Blgham also spoke
of the work they had done and its value TO
The city.
Tie motion 20 reconsider was passed.
Then Mr. OnOnnell raised the point of order
that the resolution did not agree with the
title. In the resolution the names of MessrS.
Canah8n and Burleigh we're not mentioned,
but the words assistant city attorneys"
were used. As there are no such offices now
Mr.. O'Donnell objected. Mr.. Bigham moved
TO amend by inserting the names of MesSrs.
Carnahan and Burleigh and making the pay
i'tUr service rendered at the instance of the
city attorney
Mr.. O'Dunren said there had been too
much employing men and then asking
Council 10 pay. We are nothing he said,
but the sCryiie tools of the heads of the
DEPARTMENTS.
Mr. Russell moved to change the date
from August to July l. This was defeated.
Nj. ODonnell moved that after July the
services OF MeSsrs. Carnahan and Burleigh
should be dispensed with.
Nj Bigham said the City Attorney had
so much work under the new street law that
h. must have help. Mr. Russell said that he
understood an ordinance was in prepara-
tiOn for employing these assistants. Let
that ordinance come up and then let the
assistants be employed. First authorize it
and thea do It. lie believed that assistance
ws> required, but he wanted it procured
LEGALLY.
Mr. O'Donneu said he couldn't understand
'+why the parties who control these Councils
can't do things legally. 1t is just as easy as
the other way"
~ O'Donnell's amendment WAS defeated.
Nj NIglam's amendment was adopted, and
the resolution As amended WIS adopted
without opposition. Mr.. O'DOnnell was sur
l.ri~e1 ami asked why the yeas and nays
were not called. The Chair answered that
"a standing vote had been taken; the yeas
gng nays were not asked for and were not
called.

WILL HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE.
The Poor Farm Matter Again Goes Before
the Mayor.

Mayor Gourley was seen yesterday after
noon at the conclusion of the Council meet
ing and asked what he thought of the
passage of the Poor Farm ordinance over
his veto. '1expected nothing else" said he,
"and am thankful that few of the
members had the courage to express their
appreciation of my position Vow L will
make Il little prediction. \ Poor Farm will
be purchased mt a cost of bout $60Jper acre.
1t will be on a river front and will hot be
less than 500 acres in area"
will you have anything further to say in
the natter?'' >,~f
"Yes, think so 1t is my opinion that
after tine farm is selected by the Chief of the
Department of Charities it will have to be
ratified by an ordinance. The pres
ent ordinance does not designate
the exact form, and l do not believe the city
can purchase any piece of property without
an ordinance especially naming the prop
erty. Another ordinance will be necessary,
and it will consequently come to me for APP
provaL"
The Mayor was asked whether he proposed
taking the question into the courts, but re-
piled IN the negative.

NO FURTHER INDUCEMENTS.
Why the P1asterers and Stonemasons
Were Forced to Break Away.

The striking stonemasons and plasterers
were forced to go to work because the car
penters could not offer them any induce
ments to stay out any longer. Quite q
number of carpenters returned to work yes
terday, and while the leaders still claim that
the outcome will be favorable to them, the
bosses say it will only be a matter of few
DAYS until the men will all be back at work.
It is hardly expected that all the men will
go back before the Fourth. j. F. Bruggeman,
for whom Il men went to work yesterday,
says that by next Monday all hands will be
back for their jobs.
The bricklayers' strike is assuming more
alarming proportions now than that Of the
carpenters. There is no indication of a set
tlement and both sides are decidedly firm.

RIVER MINERS WILL STRIKE.

They VIII Not Submit to the Proposed
Reduction of Half a Cent.
A strike among the river miners is prom

must be reduction in price. This is not
surprising to any of the parties concerned
The situation has been thoroughly under
stood all along. The operators made no
effort to conceal the fact that reduction
would be asked for ms soon as the Southern
trade would be supplied.
The Southern trade has been supplied; the
miners will be offered cents; they will not
accept and consequently there will be a
strike

Penn Company Officials Begin to Complain
of a Car Shortage.

The Pittsburg and Youngstown freight
committees will meet in Cleveland to-mor-
row to adjust some differences about West
ern rates. The general classification and
iron tariffs will be considered. Most agents
complain about dull traffic, but an official of
the Pennsylvania company remarked yester-
day that they were short of cars. Not long
ago they had any number of idle cars lying
on their side tracks.
General Freight Agent Frank Dean, of the
Lake Erie said the coal business of his road
was picking up, but the traffic is nothing un-
usual. Agents of Western roads claim they
are not getting much freight from this terri
tory. The Santa Fe, which extends from
Chicago to the Pacific coast, has been doing
evidence of remarkable dullness when the
agents of this big system could not find
freight in this section for some of the towns
along their line.
