CAN MAKE A GOOD FIGHT YET.

Secretary Kilgallon Says the Finishers'
Union Will Not Affect the Amalgamated
Association Very Much-A Few Men,
bers Causing the Trouble - The Order
Still Strong.
Secretary Kilgallon, of the Amalgamated
Association, in discussing the probable eff
feet the seeding of the fnishers would
have upon the old association, yesterday,
said: 81 do not think the fnishers' union
will ever be reality. In my opinion few
disgruntled fnishers are not satisfied with
the present scale and agreement for
the years work and now want
to cause all the trouble they can. From
what I can learn there are hardly more
than couple of dozen in all, and when
they have excited a great deal of discussion
and contention will simply let the new
move fall through. The Amalgamated As
sociation feels that the loyalty of its men,
bers will keep them from leaving, and does
not fear any great trouble from the present
movement We shall not make any great
effort to influence our members one way or
the other, depending upon their fidelity to
aid labor by supporting one labor organiza-
tion rather than two.
"We have been uniformly kindly re-
ceived by the manufacturers in the past
and expect to receive the same recognition
in the future. AT times, it is true,
things did not run very smoothly,
but they have come out all right in the end
AT present 1 fear no trouble from the
Pittsb urg iron manufacturers uniting to
oppose the Amalgamated Association. The
only way we can be injured is by circulating
false reports about the organization and we
will take care to see that these are reputed.
In fact this is the only way we will deign
to recognize any such a union as that con-
templated by the inishers
81 can say that never in the history of
the Amalgamated Association has it been
stronger either numerically or otherwise.
1t was accredited at one time as having
more members than now, but many of them
were not permanent and no dependence
could be placed In them. The order should
be stronger than it is. but for real close,
determined and united effort, the present
status of the Amalgsmated Association is
better than ever and is determined to not
only make determined fight, but to retain
its old members"

EIGHT HOURS FOR A DAYS WORK,

Resolutions Introduced Into the Builders,
Exchange and Warmly Discussed.
A set of resolutions, presented at the
November meeting of the Builders E1-
change, but not passed, required that eight
hours be considered as days work, and
that the system of hourly compensation be
adopted by the Exchange. The resolutions
were warmly discussed, and many
of the members were in favor of
adopting them. The recent law, making
eight hours a days work, has induced
the Exchange to take action on this uues
tion. The resolutions will be taken up
again at the December meeting and will
likely be passed. They are now in the
hands of committee Before action is taken
on the question, however, the members of
the Exchange will submit the question to
their workmen and upon their decision will
rest the acceptance or rejection of the reso-
lutions by the Exchange. The workmen
mostly interested are plasterers, painters
bricklayers, timers, roofers, plumbers, tile
layers and all trades connected with the
builders trades The chief point of diff
Guilty will be whether workmen will be
willing to accept the eight-hour plan unless
they are allowed the same rates as they are
getting for nine hours labor.
Another matter taken up by the Exchange
was the holding of a convention of all
branch associations Of the builders inter.

he TALKED TARIFF,

Assistant Postmaster Edwards Entertains
the Thirteenth Ward Republicans.
The Republicans held an enthusiastic
meeting in the open air last evening on
Wylie avenue, near Junilla street, Thir-
teenth ward A large number were present.
The speakers stand was gaily decorated
with bunting and lsnters. SAMUEL Nc
Cutcheon acted as chairman of the meeting.
After few remarks eulogistic of the Re
publican party, he introduced A. j. Ed
wards, Assistant Postmaster of Pittsburg.
Mr.. Edwards gave an able exposition of
the tariff question, showing what benefits
hava accrued to the whole country under
the Mckinley bill. He showed that the
protective tariff had nothing to do with the
recent labor troubles, asserting that the
question of wages was one regulated by
supply and demand. He also cited the
labor troubles in the Democratic State of
Tennessee, in which many workingmen
were shot down, which were the results OF
the actions of Democratic State officials in
putting convicts at work to fill honest
workingmen's positions Mr.. Edwards
also discussed the money question, ridi-
culing the wildcat money" proposed by
the Democracy.

BIG MASS MEETING OUT PENN AVENUE

The campaign in Allegheny county was
practically closed last night To-day and
tonight will be devoted to demonstrations
by both parties and Monday will be con-
sumed in distributing tickets and electi on
papers to the various polling places through
out the county. Under the law the ballots
must be distributed to-day and Monday.
The Commissioners yesterday completed ar
rangements to have the ballots and elec-
tion papers delivered to the respective vot-
ing places. One-hslf of the work will be
delivered to-day The cost of the work
will approximate s, 900, and will be done
in strict accordance with the law. Many of
the ballots and papers were shipped last
night and will be delivered this morning
The work at the party headquarters was
being wound up at midnight. The final
appeals were mailed to the voters and bush
els of literature, letters and instructions
were carted to the postofice. Packages
were wrapped and made ready for the va
rious ward workers, and messages were sent
ordering the faithful to report early this
morning to take the stuff away and by this
evening the headquarters will be abandoned
for the campaign
chairman Grlpp and Secretary Miller
spent last night in Homestead where they
were in consultation with the workers
there. They did not return to Pittsburg
until after midnight.
''To all intents and purposes our fight is
concluded" Judge Gripp SAID after his re-
turn TO the CITY. ''We want the boys to
call to-day and get what we have prepared
for them, and then we will shut up shop.
We will carry Allegheny county bv the
usual Republican majority" the confident
chairman went on. "We will not lose a
man in our district. We will give Harri-
son anywhere from 20. 900 to %, 900 majority.
Our Legislative. Senatorial and Congress
ional tickets will be elected beyond all
question"
Chairman Bremen refused to make any
prediction regarding the result in Allie
gheny county. He said his work was about
completed. "We will not carry Allegheny
county" he said, "but we will elect Con-
gresham and one Senator if not two. We
will greatly reduce the Republican major
ity in Allegheny county, and that's about
all care to say on the subject

ests in the two cities and vicinity. The
purpose of the convention would be to do
away with certain things that are now
causing mnch trouble to the various
branches of work. One is likely to inter-
fere with tine harmonious working on an
other branch, and this causes delay to both.
One of the greatest drawbacks to the busi-
ness at present is the power put into the
hands of the chief contractor. As it is, he
has everything in his power, and the sub
con tractors are virtually at his mercy. The
time tor the convention has not yet been
set, but it is thought it will be held soon
after February /. This would allow time
to get ready for the opening of the years

NO TRICKS THIS YEAR.

Democrats Trying to Capture West Virginia
With a Series of Barbecues-Voters to
Be Taken From Home About Election
Time.
Assistant Postmaster A. j. Edwards re-
turned from West Alexander yesterday,
where he was one of the orators at day
light Republican meeting. 1t is close to
the West Virginia line and the people came
across the border in squads. Mr. Edwards
says there is no doubt about the State going
Republican. Secretary Elkins has been at
headquarters in Wheeling for several days
and will remain until Tuesday.
Postmaster Cowden, of Wheeling, told
Mr.. Edwards of shrewd Democratic trick
to capture the State that lad been un-
earthed. A prominent leader unfolded the
plan in a letter to the State Committee,
which fell into the hands of the Republi-
cans. He suggested holding a number of
barbecues close to the election and giving
the colored people free ride for at least 40
miles from home. "You know" continued
the writer, "that something always happens
to excursion trains, the engine breaks
down, and the delays are numerous The
people could easily be held on plausible
prete1ts until it would be too late for them
to vote"
Steve EIkiDs saw at once it would be an
easy scheme to work, and Immediately
steps were taken to offset the Democrats
Mr. Cowden thinks it will be difficult to
hoodwink the colored voters in West Vir-
ginia this year. A rafting campaign has
been waged. Speakers have been sent out
into the small settlements in wagons, ac-
companied by colored fellows playing gui-
tars and banios. The musicians would sing
and play and in short time would have
crowd around the wagon. Then a short
speech would be made, and the journey to
the next town would be resumed. This
style oil campaigning has been very effec-
tive in the sparsely settled regions MIR.
Edwards was assured that the Lower
House will be Republican, but the Senate
is going Democratic. Davis will be elected
Governor

WILL OPPOSE THE ISSUE,

Sixth Ward People VIII Try to Defeat the
Allegheny Bond Scheme.
, Another meeting was held in the Sixth
ward school house, Allegheny, last night
by those who are opposed to the bond issue.
Long resolutions denouncing the manner in
which their opponents took charge of the
meeting last Monday night were passed.
The gentlemen present expressed them
selves as against the issue from now on.
They said they had been favorable to it
until they saw how the canvass for it was
being made. Their resolution says Coun-
ellis have not adopted any defined plan for
spending the money, and until better
quality of Councilmen is secured they think
it wise to oppose the expenditure OF such
large sum of money.
