NO TROUBLE HERE.

Railroad Men Do Not Think the Buffalo
Strike Will Affect Pittsburg.
Local railroad officials are not paying
much attention to the switchmen's strike in
Buffalo Superintendent McCargo, of the
Allegheny Valley, does not think that the
strike will reach his line or interfere with
the handling of freight and passenger bust
ness at the other end of the road. He says
the wages of the men were arranged year
ago, and they are satisfied.
At the Lake Erie office Superintendent
Beach said the Vanderbilt lines are not
affected, and the strike will not injure their
business He Is afraid the men will tie up
the Mahoning branch of the Nypano, which
would embarrass Lake Erie shipments.
John Downey, First Vice Grand Master
of the Switchmen, left for the West yester-
day. He thought the trouble would be set
tied, but if non-union men are hired in the
Lehigh Valley yards sympathy strike
would follow on the Allegheny Valley and
Vanderbilt lines. The Switchmen are not
very strong in .Pittsburg, but the Brother
hood of Trainmen is well organized. The
opinion of the men here is that they will
take no notice of the Buffalo trouble,
neither will they refuse to handle freight
from that city if non-union men are hired.
Robert Snnamond says the Brotherhood of
Trainmen have not been asked to decline to
handle Carnegie products. Such request
has been made to the engineers.

THE LAST DAY TO PAY.

Assessments for the Thirfy-third Street
Sewer Be como Delinquent.
Yesterday was the last day for payment
Of assessments on the two-mile run, or
Thirty-third street sewer, at the City Treas
urer's Office. As is usual on the last day
for paying any form Of city money, hun
dreds had waited for it, and there was a
rush all day long. There being only one
collection book, only one clerk could wait
on the crowd, and as a result many were
kept waiting for hours before they could
reach the window to pay their cash.
To-day the books will 60 to the City At
torney, who will complete the collection.
The total assessment was $256, 454 Is, but
as only about S100, 900 was collected by the
City Treasurer, the bulk of the money will
be collected by the City Attorney. 1t is pos
sible that he will collect tor week or ten
days without charging interest, owing to
the large number of persons assessed for
this improvement, though that is a matter
of his option. After 20 days he must file
liens on all properties the assessments on
which have not been paid.
The reassessment on the Thirtv-third
street sewer talked of recently because of
the numerous transfers of property made
since the property list was copied has been
abandoned. The City Attorney will there
fore proceed on the list before long, and
while 1t will involve a great amount of
work, the law is so arranged that it will be
impossible for anyone benefited to escape
payment.

THE BUSINESS WORLD.
Gold Coin Paid Out of the Sub-Treas-
ury for Silver Notes.
ALL OBLIGATIONS WILL BE MET
By the Government, Which Has a Surplus
of the Yellow Metal.
FIRES, FAILURES AND RAIL INTERESTS

NEW YORK, Aug. ia crucial test of
the policy of the Government was made to-
day when Heidelbach, Yeckelheimer & Co.
rendered 81, ,00O 900 in treasury notes. which
were issued on account of silver purchases,
and demanded for them one million in gold
for shipment to Germany by to-morrow's
steamer. The Treasury officials made NO
demurrer but paid out the million gold in
exchange for the Treasury notes, and the
gold was carted away and put on the
steamer.
Tne transaction excited some comment,
as no home institution or home banking
firm has ever in the history of the Govern
ment made like demand on the Treasury,
and in some quarters an impression pre-
vailed that the exporting firm took this
step not so much to take the profit on the
shipment, which in itself is too insignificant
for banking firm to consider, but really
for the purpose of forcing crisis.
Assistant Treasurer Roberts was at the
SUBJ Treasury while the gold for Germany
it was the first time such demand wss
made, although gold has heretofore been
given partly for old and partly for new
Treasury notes. He said in reply to ques-
tions: mo steps have been taken by the
administration to prevent or obstruct the
export of gold. Its free gold balance now
amounts to S112. 900, ,0O0."
By this statement of Treasurer Roberts 1t
is clear that the Government has already
decided on a plan to pay all the silver
Treasury notes in gold if it is demanded.
Vice President Cannon, of the Fourth Ma
tional Bank, said he did not think that the
gold surplus would be reduced at present,
but that it would be increased instead, as
the Treasury is now receiving gold from the
Eastern banks for transhipment to the West
and the West is paying out currency on ac-
count of these shipments. By this step last
year the Government increased its gold
holdings 81, 200, 900.

Dor onion Congress Passes Resolutions

Troubles-suggestions for Legislative
Enactment.
TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 15.-The New
Jersey Federation of Trades and Labor
Union held their annual meeting here to-
day at the State Capitol. The delegates
were welcomed in speech by Mayor
Bechtel. Samuel Meller, Jr, the Presi-
dent, made lengthy address. He said the
law creating the Saturday halfholiday was
as constitutional as nine-tenths of the laws
enacted 1t should not be repealed, but
perfected. He condemned the recent par
tisan legislation and the act which gives
mayors the power to appoint municipal
commissions. The Legislature was bitterly
criticised for passing the bill legalizing the
great coal combine and the President
added ''that any representative who so far
forgot his constituents as to support
measure of that character should be rele-
gated back to private life, no matter with
which party he may be affiliated"
A long resolution was passed condemning
the Carnegie mills proprietors for the
trouble at Homestead with their employees,
''the joint creators of their mills" 1t was
also resolved "that this Congress urges the
workmen of New Jersey to avoid all strikes
so long as the trouble at Homestead lasts
and to give immediate pecuniary aid"
The congress adopted the following, sug
gested by j. ?. Mcdonald:
The passing of law making eight hours a
legal days work for State, county and city
officials; that the minutes of the State Legis-
lature be printed weekly during the session:
an investigation OF the sweating system; to
prepare law favoring compulsory arDftra-
tion; the preservation of q lien law Tor the
special protection of wage workers; favoring
a printing Office to be conducted by the
State: that homesteads valued at less than
$1,000 should be exempt from taxation, and
that public works for the unemployed,
should be established; the passage OF bill
that prosecuting attorneys shall sue on
demand to recover money due" Cor wages
without cost to the plaintiff.
The convention elected the following
officers: Thomas McGoveru, President;
Samuel Meller, Treasurer; E. J. Meare,
Secretary; E. Prizes and L. Reed, Vice
Presidents
