CONTRACTORS TO THE WALL.
How the Strike Has Forced Small Men Out

Nancy To0 Scarce.

How the Strike Has FORCED Small Men out
of the Business-Mr. Mckee Claims the
Strike Has Not Caused Much Loss
Money Too Scarce.
aYou have no idea," said J. d. Watson, the
attorney, last evening, "how many small
contractor, there are who have become tenn
porarily embarrassed since the building
strike commenced. know at least dozen
men who have been forced to give Judgment
notes, and 1 will wager the Court House
records will show an array of them. A num-
Der have asked me to try to raise money for
them. These men have their horses TO keep.
whether they work or not, and
their expenses are quite considerable.
At present they are unable to meet them.
The result is that the little fellows are
crowded to the wall and monopoly of the
business is created. The strike has hurt the
workmen in more ways than one. and the
fact that they have reduced the number of
their employers is overlooked. The people

ing and get the foundations ready for the
j. R. Mckinley, of the East Pittsburg I'm
provement Company. said they had In
tended to put 100000 into houses at Brinton
and Wilmerding. They proposed to build
100 in all this summer. but if they
will spend $4,000 they will do well.
They expect to erect about 80, now that
the Stplk0 Is over, duO lOslSTudy
for 20 at 81, $50 apiece The strike prevented
them from selling valuable property in the
East End, but the price was not affected as
it was fixed, and the company would not sell
for less. He thought. however, that the
price of real estate had been cut as result
of the strike. The loss, he said, to all con-
cerned would be very large.
James B. Scott said he had been consult
ing with leading local architects about the
library buildings, and he found as a rule
that they were doing only from one-third
to one-fourth as much business as last year.
One man told him that he had at this time
last season $500 900 in houses under construc-
ton and this year his work amounted to
$780, 600. The others related similar stories.
His local business in roofing, house fixtures,
&C., was spoiled, but fortunately he does not
depend on this territory for his trade.
H. Sellers Mckee took rosy view of the
strike. He claimed people wouldn't have
built as many houses this year as last any
how. The money stringency last fall ratified
most business men, and they were not look
ing around for opportunities to spend hard
cash, but how to hold it was what puzzled
them. He thinks the strike has caused very
little real loss

How the Recollections of Slave Days Stick

Education for workmen.
When Master Workman Powderly was in
the city few days ago he said number of
things that were not published for lack of
space. Mr.. Powderiy impresses the inter
viewer as If he were Withholding hfs views

pose of reaping the rewards offered Dy mag
azines for articles on these questions.

cipatiOn from ignorance he said: Even to
this day the colored men below the Mason

boots and a whip, for have seen it done. 1t
was performed for my benefit to show me
that 1t it was possible. A man with q lash

side. l could see each one of them quake
with fear. Now, why did they do it?
They knew they were free, and the man
shows how people will stick to ancient
ideas. The slaves in the party remembered
how they were driven to work and beaten
and instead of teaching their children some
thing new they have inStilled into them un-
consciously the old slave ideas. The young,
to be true never having had the experiences
of their fathers, do not realize the evils of
the slave days with the same force as their
parents, and they are gradually being lifted
up. This demonstrates that it takes time to
change people and make them better and
more useful citizens
81 find that workmen are getting broader
every day, They grow tired of trade papers,
and they want to read the magazines and
big dailies. The comic papers amuse them,
and so in all our headquarters we try to col
1ect the best literature of the day for and
against labor. They can thus hear both
sides. 1t develops them and makes them
more reasonable and tolerant"

A FAIR TRADE EXPECTED.

Architects Predict a Busy Fallin the Erec-

According to what was CLEANED yesterday
in architects offices there will yet be con-
siderable building operations in Pittsburg
and the vicinity this year. Contractors are
figuring on work which can De finished be-
fore winter sets in. At the same time many
larre contracts whose execution would have
extended into next year have been can
celled.
Architect Thomas Boyd has between
$4,000 and $4,000 worth OF work in his office
which he expects to have performed be-
tween this and the fall. He is now receiv-
ing bids for a new residence for Charles
Geyer, in Allegheny. The cost will ap-

TROUBLE ABOUT WAGES.
Brown & Cochran's Coke Men Resist a
Threatened Reduction.

Coke men here were considerably worked
up yesterday over a development of the
recen+ coke region fight, which ended so
disas ,usly to the men. Some time before
the 81 ike ended the men at the Nellie,
Clarissa and jackson mines of Brown &
Cochran, Dawson, Pa, returned to work.
The other coke operators were incensed and
charged that Brown & Cochran had weak
ened and were paying their men the old
price This Brown & Cochran strenuously
denied, saying that the men had realized the
hopelessness of the struggle and had agreed
to go to work under the Mcclure and Frick
scale.
1t has developed that the men at these
works returned to work ut the old price.
Brown & Cochran are now having consider
able trouble with their men owing to an at
tempt on the part of the former to reduce
the wages of the men to the prices now paid
by the Mcclure Coke Company, the Frick
Coke Company and others, and this attempt
the men are likely to vigorously resist.

A Similarity of Names,

In Mondays issue of The DISPATCH the
name of William Branthoover figured in a
case growing out of an episode at Highland
Park. At the hearing he was honorably dis
charged Mr.. Willis II. Branthoover be-
l1eyes he was meant, and desires to have it
known that he was at his home on the South
side when the arrest was made. Mr.. Brant-
hoover formerly resided in the East End,
and as the similarity of thames may lead folks
TO imagine he was under arrest, he is en-
titled to this correction.
