Pigmies VS.. Giants.

Lilliputian as they are in size (being
no larger than mustard seeds), they
achieve results that Brobdingnagian
opponents utterly fail in. We refer
to the efficacy of the powerful prepa-
ration known at DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, compared with that of their
gigantic competitors, the old style
pill. Try the little giants, when dys-
pepsia liver complaint, constipation,
billiousness, or any kindred ills as
sail you, and you'll make no mistake
they'll disappear at once.

General Manager H. c. Frick was seen
at his home last night and, when asked if
the Carnegie Steel Company had refused to
accept any more orders, said: do not care

there was considerable truth in the report.

The HOMESTEAD SCALE
A Futile Conference Between the Men and
the Manufacturers.

A Futile Conference Between the Men and
the Manufacturers.
At no time in the history of the AmaIga.
mated Association did the members of this
organization await decision with more
anxiety than they evinced yesterday. The
point at issue was the Homestead scale, of
which there exists two versions-one pre-
sented by the manufacturers and the other
bv the Amalgamated Association. To
learn just exactly how each one viewed the
situation and whether one or the other was
willing to make any concessions q confer
ence was called to take place YESTERDAY
morning at 10 o'clock in the CITY Office of
Carnegie, Phipps & Co. The fate of 5000
steel workers was in the hands of the men
forming the conference. Six delegates from
the Analgamated Association were present
TO uphold the interests of the workmen,
while the leading officials of the Carnegie
Steel Company represented the manu-
facturerS
The workmen's committee went into the
meeting with an almost unanimous protest
from the Homestead employees against the
acceptance of Manager Potter's scale. The
conference lasted from 10 o'clock until 2
without an agreement being reached, and
recess was taken for lunch. When the
committees reassembled the members re-
mained in session until 4, when they finally
adjourned without accomplishing an nything.
During the meeting both committees made
concessions. The manufacturers, who had
placed the minimum figures for steel billets
at so, were willing to add 81 more, while

A NEW STATION AT ToRRENs.
The People OF Dallas Threatened with
Great Inconvenience.


The People of Dallas Threatened with
Great Inconvenience.
The people of Dallas station, on the Penn
sylvania Railroad, were up in arms yester-
day over a report that the company had de-
cided to do away with their station and
combine it with Torrens in a new station to
be built at the point where Fifth avenue
goes under the railroad. They are feeling
very indignant at the railroad company any,
how, and the report was the straw that
broke the camel's back. The ompany has
steadily sighted them in the arrangement
of the schedule until now there are not
nearly as many trains as there were 18
months ago, and this in spite of the fact
that the section has almost doubled in popu-
lation. Besides, the trains are not arranged
conveniently. All winter theater parties
had to take a train an hour earlier than
necessary or else arrive at the places of
amusement late. The young people who
attended High School had to take q train
much earlier than necessary, as q former
train which brought them to the city in
good time was discontinued.
At the company's offices it was stated
that it had not been finally decided to do
away with Dallas station, although that
move was under consideration. A new sta
tion is to be built at Torrens, but the Dallas
matter is still open. The people feel that
the rapid growth of population justi6es the
expectation of a new station, rather than its
discontinuance New residences are going
up all through the territory tributa ry to the
Pennsylvania railroad at Dallas, and the
claim is made that the population will be
doubled in another year, especially since
Hamilton avenue is to be improved ne 4t

Evicted. Tenants Out Penn Avenue Living In

A curious scene has been witnessed by
the residents of Mulberry alley, between
Thirty-frst and Thirtv-second streets, for
the past two days. 1t was family consist
ing of an aged father and mother and three
grown-up daughters camping in the center
Of the alley with no protection from rain or
storm and nothing to eat save what was
given to them. The name of the man is
David Williams. He formerly worked in
the Black Diamond Steel Works. but of
late has been doing nothing, his age telling
on him.
Suit was brought against him before
Alderman Warner for non-payment of rent,
and Monday evening Constable Kramer
from Alderman Warmers Office placed his
things in the street. The old man did not
seem to have energy enough to do any
thing for himself and remained where he
had been placed.
Yesterday forenoon Officer Brady Thomp-
son notified him that if he did not get out
he would be arrested as a vagrant. This
seemed to arouse him from his lethargy and
last evening one-horse wagon removed all
his goods to deserted house on Jones ave-
uue, where he will take up his abode. The
Department of Charities will be notified of
their condition.

TO MEET THE WIRE MEN.

Little Difficulty Expected by the Amalga-
mated in Settling the Scale for the Com
ing Year-The Iron and Steel Manu-
facturers Are Also to BE Seen.
At 10 o'clock this morning the confer
ence committee of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation will meet the wire rod manuiactur-
ers in the Ferguson block. 1t is expected
that there will be no great difficulty in ar
ranging the scale.
In the afternoon at o'clock the same
committee will again meet the Pittsburg iron
and steel manufacturers. Hopes are also
entertained that the differences existing be-
tween these two bodies will be amicably
settled and the scale signed for at least an
other year.
The convention OF, the Amalgamated As
sociation, after meeting yesterday morning
in the hall on Forbes street, almost imme-
diately adjourned for the purpose of allow
ing the several committees to attend to
their work At 2 o'clock the dele
gates again filed into the hall.
The afternoon session was taken up
with preliminary matters, the only
new business being the report of the Com
mittee on Constitution. This body has
been at work ever since the first meeting of
the convention.
Before the close of the convention of the
Amalgamated Association the officers
for the ensuing year are to be
elected. As has already been announced
the resignation of President William Weihe
has been banded in, but it is probable that
he will be asked to reconsider his action
and serve for another year at least. There
has been a strong pressure brought to bear
upon him during the past week, and
petition requesting Mr.. Weihe to continue
at the head of the organization for another
term or two is now being circulated. 1t is
expected that every delegate will sign the
appeal While the big President has re-
Trained from making any further state
ment, the opinion is that he will reconsider
his previous action.

hazy and vague. The weaving railway trains
upon the lake front were spectral The
clouds that fed the storm now rested on the
pavements. The air, the waters, the skies,
were all one color, and that an indescribable
yellowish green. The clouds and the lake
were one blended sheet of impenetrable
gloom. The steamboats, tied to their piers
remained immovable. They could not be
seen, but through the thick green gloom
came the shrieks of thousands of foghorns,
helplessly appealing to the fotilla not to
move for fear of havoc.
In the neighborhood of these panic
stricken travellers of the deep could be heard
the long trains of cars blindly cropping their
way out into the remote suburbs of the
prairies, freighted down with human beings
going they knew not where and they cared
not where. Through the strychnine-colored
air occasionally women were seen rushing
with fright, so dazed that their natural in
stinct left them, and they cared not for the
unseemly disorder of their drapery by
which they sought to escape being swept
away in the rain.
Disastrous Crash OF Two CABS.
Up and down the broad space that in
ordinary times and under natural circum-
stances is called street, fled the panic
stricken cab drivers bent and huddled on
their seats, shivering before the pitiless
blasts of liquid and of LIGHTNING. In front
OF the Leland House two of these rushing
cabs came together as bullets are some
times said to do over battlefield, and both
turned upside down in wreck.
All idea of direction and distance was
lost. The cutters were obliterated, and
what was once known as roadways were
rushing torrents of mud, water and filth,
trackless and unending. Down this stink
ing stream foated the debris of wrecked
city and panic-stricken multitude. Chill
dren lost their mothers, men were torn
from their companions, every hallway was
choked with frightened people. Umbrellas
turned inside out before the gale, scurried
along in the food. Dogs, cats and rats ter
rified into helplessness, mingled their dying
hours with the noise of the rushing blast.
Only one man or object in all Chicago re-
mained impassive and continued to hustle.
He was convention ticket peddler, and
said to the demented people who fled past
him: "What is the matter with every
body? This is nothing but an ordinary
Chicago squall Stop and let me sell my
last ticket. The convention D still in ses-
sion, and we have reduced the price from
S15 to so cents For Gods sake take it,
He was perfectly right. Though this
plain, calm record Of to-day's storm
will read to those who were not here like
an account of something gruesome and ab-
normal, such is not the fact. 1t was but
the recurrence of a tri-daily episode-it is
the history Of June day in Chicago.

PREDICTS DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT.

James p. Witherew Alludes to tho Superior
Political Attributes of Republicanism.
"Clevelands nomination means Republi-
can success" said James P. Witherow at
the Monongahela House, just after return
ing from Cincinnati ''The Republican
party has every advantage over the other
party. They have the brains, the machinery,
the money and the people, and If they are
unable to succeed with all of these attri-
butes it is high time a change of some
kind should be made. There is little doubt
in my mind but what Harrison and Reed
can carry New York, thanks to the superior
organization of the party over the Demo-
Gratis, and with New York in line the other
States will quickly fall in line and the Re-
publican party will again administer the
affairs of the nation. Cleveland may be
strong in some parts, but he has not the
advantage of having the great political
leaders at his back, as President Harrison
will have"

The first firm to sign the new Western
scale of prices for 1929, which was re-
Gently adopted by the Amalgsmated Asso-
citation, is the Tyler Pipe Tube Company,
Of Washington, Pa. This is a clean cut
victory for the Association, and the men,
bers are naturally proud of their achieve
ment, predicting that this was only the
forerunner of other firms agreeing to the
scale.
Negotiations have been in progress some
time between the Association and Mr.. Tyler,
but it was only yesterday that the Confer
ence Committee of the Association met a
committee of the men from the works at
the Monongahela House, there being pres
ent $3.50 Mr.. Tyler and his general manager.
First Vice President w. A. Carney, of the
first district, and Assistant President NJ. NJ.
Garland represented the Amalgamated,
while there were present from the works
George L. Kiel, Patrick H. Mynahan and
Henry Kuntz The conference lasted Just
one hour and so minutes
Spent Hours Consid sring the Scale.
After the preliminary business had been
transacted, the new Western scale of prices
for 1929, which was recently adopted by
the Amalgamated Association, was pre-
sented Tor consideration. This important
paper was carefully analyzed from begin
ming to end by the committee representing
the tube works, and, when Mr. Tyler was
assured that every item contained in the
document was perfectly fair and correct, he
caught up pen, hastily dipped it into an
ink well and wrote his signature at the bot
tom Of one OF the new scales.
Thus, with few strokes of the pen, Mr.
Tyler not only became the first signer of
the new Amalgamated Associations scale,
but agreed TO pay the rates and wages asked
by the Association for their men
Good News for the Men.
- The intelligence that Mr. Tyler had
signed the scale was brought to the dele
gates of the convention on Forbes street by
Assistant President NJ. NJ. G.. and, and
the great pleasure his announcement gave
the men was sufficient reward in itself for
the labor he had performed.
subsequently speaking of the matter Mr.
Garland said: "The meeting was one of the
most harmonious that / ever attended.
There were no demands for reductions nor
did the committee from the tube works
think the prices as arranged were anything
more than fair The matter was settled in
less than two hours and in signing the scale
Mr.. Tyler gives employment for another
wear to nearly 500 men,.
