Thirty Brotherhood Men Discharged
by the Cambria Company.
THEIR PLACES FILLED BY HUNS.
An Engineer Says Not Wheel Will Turn

FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
JoHNsTowN, May 1.-THE Cambria
Company is pursuing its policy of crushing
out organized labor with a vengeance.
Spies have been sent out since the trouble
here began, and now every Brotherhood
man when he appears at the gates to go to
work is told that his services are no longer
needed. Thirty were discharged to-day,
and Hungarians were promptly engaged to
take their places.
Owing to the adjustment of the difficulty
at Cleveland and other places, the officials
OF the organizations have notified the men
here that they cannot all be here for several
days Owen Gallagher, Chairman of the
Grievance Committee, said to-day he had
received assurance that the officials would
stand by the action of the men here when
the facts in the case were presented to them.
A prominent railroad engineer and Broth
erhood man, in speaking of the difficulty,
this evening said4
"1f the grand officers approve of the ac-
tion of the local Brotherhood, and the Cam
bria Company refuses to recognize the
order, big strike will be inaugurated. or

the operations of the mills, and they can
likely employ new men without trouble.
On the big railroad lines, however, not a
wheel of car will be moved that is loaded
with material to or from the Cambria Com
pany. This will compel shutdown, which
Is bound to continue until the company
yields, as the trainmen are so we'll organized
that their demands upon the railroads must
be acceded to.
"The situation had been thoroughly dis
cussed before action was taken, and it was at
q full meeting of the Brotherhood on Sunday
last that sanction was given to the commit
tee to present their grievance in the name
of the order. As everything has been regu-
lar, the men say that nothing but proper
concessions on the part of the Cambria
can.avert a strike. Three things
will be demanded. The einstatement of
the discharged men, the recognition of the
order and the payment of higher rate of
wages"
So sure are the people here that strike
will be ordered that they are already pre-
pairing for it. As large majority of the
1000 workmen trade at the company's store,
and as in the event of q strike their credit
would be lost and supplies cut off, other
merchants are anticipating what will fol-
low. Accordingly, an organized effort is
being made by the merchants to refuse
credit to such transient customers as are
likely to drift to them when thrown out of
work and credit gone at the company's
store.

Wylie Avenue to Be Block Stone From

Wylie avenue will soon be one of the

worst, as it has been for many years. Two
years ago the Improvement was commenced

since then from Fulton street to Fifth ave-

voted $40 900 for continuing the new pave
ment eastwardly, and this year $4,000
more was appropriated. The work
was not commenced last year, but a good
start has already beeen made this spring by
Booth & Finn, and from Fulton to Devil
liers streets one side of the street has been
repaved. 1t is expected that the money
appropriated will repave the street to the
end, at Heron avenue

top of Soho Hill, is also being repaved with
block stone. The asphalt pavement being
taken up on this street was put down 13

NEWS FROM THE EUROPEAN CAPITALS

LONDON, May ia report issued by
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children has caused sensation by the
statements it contains relative to the cruel
and ofttime inhuman punishments That
some parents wofully neglect and
abuse their children was considered,
but hardly anyone believed that such
tendish cruelty as it set forth in the report
of the society could be systematically pur-
sued in England The report makes special
reference to Mrs. Montagu, and declares
that hers is not an isolated case of cruelties
in families of high social standing.
The society has interfered with clergy
men, officers, barristers and other members
OF the gentry, who it had learned were treat
ing their offspring inhumanly. Among the
punishments people of this class
inflicted upon the helpless little ones are
mentioned placing them in stocks and
putting lighted matches up their nostrils;
burning wounds upon them with matches;
breaking the limbs of 2-year-old babies in
three places; tying a rope around 6-year-
old boy and dipping him into canal re-
peatedly until he was exhausted; keeping a
child in cellar until its flesh turned
green; tying cords around the thumbs of
child, then tying it to bedstead and beat
ing it with thorn bush, and leaving baby
in cradle for weeks until toad stools grew
out of the rottenness around the infant.
Like Mrs. Montagu, some of the culprits
pleaded their high sense of moral discipline
and their regard for the victims soul One
individual whom the society interfered with
urged that he could not do his duty as set
forth in the Bible without mutilating the
face of his child.
The Duke of Fife was present at the
meeting when the report was presented, and
made strong comment on the shameful
disclosures The most, subtle cases
of cruelty, he said, seemed to be perpe-
trated by persons ofapparent respectability.
Mr. Fowler, a member, of the
House of Commons, suggested that legis-
lation is needed to protect children. The
most revolving recent instances of cruelty,
he said, had occurred in families of aff1u-
ence, and the creation of public opinion was
wanted to fight the evil.

In reply, Lord Salisbury said they must

REEDS SARCASM APPARENT

In Every Line of the Minority Report on
Free Silver Lead Ore.
WASHINGTON, May 1L-Mr. Reed, OF
Maine, to-day presented the report of the
minority of the Ways and Means Committee
opposing the passage of tine bill to admit
silver lead ore free of duty. The minority
say the majority advise the abolition OF the
duties first, because the American miner
needs this ore to smelt his own with; second,
because it would be so grateful to Mexico.
The first reason is business; the second is
philanthropic, and both, the minority say,
happen to be false. The American miner
does not need the ore for fiu1; and if he
does, does not get it under the present
system, nor under the free raw material
system which prevailed before the last tariff
act.
The American miner, it is asserted, is not
back of the bill, but the American free
trader, yearning not for free raw material,
but for the rawest kind of fMexican 5O-cents-

WASHINGTON, May 11-Postmaster Gen

a long letter containing some observations
upon the Postofice appropriation bill. The
Postmaster General says that the bill for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1898, will seri-
ously impair the postal service and result In
general dissatisfaction throughout the coun-
try. He SAYS:
L deem it my duty to emphasize to you
that the crippling of the operations of the
department by holding back the necessary
appropriations will not only impair its eff
cheney, but prevent the earnings foreshad-
owed in my report.
The Postmaster General calls attention to
the various reductions in the bill, and shows
how disastrous they will be to the service,
and, concluding, says:
1 cannot but believe that you will share
with me the concern that feel as the head
OF this department that the Postmaster
General may not be in position in 1898 to
properly meet the exigencies when the post
