MORE swITcHMEN OUT.
President Gompers Says tho Federation
Will Take a Hand.

BUFFALO, Aug. 24.-The strikers have
been reinforced. All of the switchmen
on the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western went out at 1.30 yesterday af-
ternoon. At that hour all of the switch
men clambered on to the engines and
ran them into the round houses. As
sistant Superintendent Marsden was
found hurrying about among the freight
cars. He said that it was true the
switchmen had gone out. There were
about 125. Asked what their grievance
was he piled: II don't know and
don't care. They were ordered to do
certain work and refused" Mr.. Mars
den stated that the yards were in good
shape He would not say whether or
not the road had available men to put
in their places. 1t is understood that
the men were ordered to handle freight
that came off the strikers roads and re-
fused to do it.
Last night the switchmen employed in
the yards of Buffalo, Rochester and
Pittsburg road went on strike. The
Michigan Central and Grand Trunk
men are expected to follow next.
CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-President Com
pers, of the Federation of Labor, who
has been in this city since Monday, has
had some important communications
with the leaders of the strike at Buffalo.
What the exact nature of the interviews
was the president declined to state, but
admits that the Federation intends talk
ing part in the dispute. What the re-
suit of the Federation's part in the
struggle between the New York Cen
tral and it's employees will be it is i'm
possible now to say. Judging from Mr..
Gompers' own words, it is possible the
effect may be to prolong the battle till
the demands OF the men are conceded,
and possibly to cause general strike If
their demands be not granted within u
reasonable period. He advocates an
amalgamation Of the various organiza-
tions. aud further declares, in language
which shows that it is not the mere ex-
preston of a haphazard opinion. that
the trouble, so far from nearing ter
mination, is only commenced.

LONDON, Aug. 24.-hon. John Nor
ley was nominated at New Castle yes
terday for re, election to parliament,
and in opposition to him was nominated
Mr.. Pandeli Ralli, Liberal Unionist,
who made an unsuccessful run at Gates
head in the general election. Mr.. Ralli
is well equipped for funds and has u
strong support. 1t is believed that Mr..
Morley will have no easy task in secur-
ing reelection. At Derby Farmer At
kinson was nominated in opposition to
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, but there
is no doubt of Harcourt's reelection.
Most of the other ministers have been
reelected without opposition. Pierce

gagged gathering evidence to secure the

their original proposition of purse of

Not a successful Method.

1t cannot be said that the mass meet
ing method of notifying presidential
candidates is success. The concurrent
testimony of all the newspaper accounts
Of the Madison square affair is that the
speeches, with the exception of that of
Mr.. White, of California, whose lung
power is tumultuous, were not heard by
hundred people out of the many thou
sands. It was simply great unruly
crush of people attracted by free show,
and it was neither instructive nor i'm
pressiye. 1t is not likely that it will be
repeated four years hence. The old plan
is the best.-Baltimore American.

STRIKES AND WAGES.
FEWER STRIKES AND HIGHER WAr .s
SINCE TIE MKlNLEY BILL PASSED.

If the HON sstead Trouble Was Due to the
Tarin. Then Free Trade Causes Strikes,
for the Mckinley Bill Reduced the
Iron and Steel Duties.
Free traders try to twist the Home
stead lockout into proving.
First-That the Mckinley tariff
caused it.
Second-That the Mckinley tariff has
increased the number of strikes.
Third-That the Mckinley tariff has
reduced wages.
Let us examine these three PROPOSE
tions separately:
First-That the McKinley tariff caused
the Homestead lockout.
On nearly every product Of the Home
stead and Pittsburg iron and steel mills
the new tariff made reductions. Ac-
cording to The American Manufacturer,
the duty on 3-inch and heavier round
and square iron was reduced 10 per cent,
with other reductions on bar iron. That
on boiler and other plate iron was re-
duced 25 to so per cent. from the rate in
the tariff of 1888. Steel billets were re-
duced from 40 per cent ad valorem to
various rates from 4 cent to 8-10 cents,
and beams and structural iron from IL
cents to o-i0 Of cent pound. Hoop
and sheet iron were reduced 1sSO of
cent all around.
Do our opponents argue that lower
ing Of duties causes lockouts?
Second-That the Mckinley tariff has
multiplied the number Of strikes.
The Hon. John De Witt Warner pub
fishes in the New York Weekly World
of July 13 list of items, evidently
CLEANED for the most part from the files
of The World, each purporting to be q
mention of u strike, a case of wages re-
duction OF lockout, every case being,
as he asserts, sin an industry which is
subsidized by our tariff"
1t probably never occurred to him
that unsupported quotations from the
notorious New York World might not
carry conviction. The 473 cases he men
tions extend over about twenty months.
Many are not reductions at all; many
merely mention the temporary shutting
down of some establishment; many
more partake of the nature of those on
whom the Democratic party bases its
hopes of victory next November. They
are repeaters, ringing the changes on an
item already quoted and counted. Here,
for instance, is a sample lot, all we have
space for, CLEANED in a cursory glance
through the article:
May 7, le9l-The coal miners of Illinois have
had their wages reduced from sixty-nine to
sixty cents per ton.
We happen to know something about
this. Al report from the Illinois labor
bureau l,hows that the wages per day in
the coal mines Of that state were higher
in 1891 than before in three years. Here
is its table:
