TO MEET ONCE MORE.

After Two Weeks Recess the Pittsburg
Manufacturers and the Wage Commit-
tee VIII Meet To-Day and Resume the
Wage Discussion.
This afternoon the Pittsburg iron manu-
facturers and the Wage Committee OF the
Amalgamated Association will resume their
discussion of the new Western scale of
prices Whether an agreement will be
reached or not by the joint committee is
surrounded by the same degree of uncer-
ia inty that has ali along characterized the
conferences since the Inauguration of the
trouble Whatever the outcome will be,
everything at this time points to continu-
ance of the difficulty.
1t is nearly q foregone conclusion that the
Amalgamated Association will not favor
the proposed scheme of the manufacturers
for arbitration, and no further considera-
tiou will be given to the matter except to
make a report at to-day's meeting as to how
the question was received by the sub-lodges of
the organization. President-elect Garland,
when asked last evening if the suggestion
OF arbitration had been warmly received,
would not commit himself in any way. He
answered that majority of the lodges had
not vet handed in their votes on the matter,
and even if he wished to he could not give q
reply before to-day, as the result would not
be known at headquarters until just pre-
ylous to the conference with the manufac-
turers.
Several of the sub-lodges whose decisions
have been in for a week or more have sent
communications to President Weihe offer
ing various suggestions for bringing about
a settlement, the adoption of which may
have considerable bearing upon the contro-
versy. The exact nature Of these suggestions
has not been dlvulged, but it is said the ma
ioritv of them advocate the granting of re-
ductlons to the manufacturers in certain de-
partments.
All of the officials of the Amalgamated
Association are much exercised over the
publication that Brown s. Co. Limited, of
the Wayne Iron Works, were given a re-
duction of 10 per cent on the prices fixed
by the Convention, to go into effect in all
iron mills ''They signed the SCALE" said
President Weihe, "without any deviation
or concession in the fixed scale. To have
given them this discount would have been
unfair to all other manufacturers in that
line of trade. Such statements as that are
very annoying, especially at this time, and
there being no truth in it at all 1 do not,
for my part, see how they are allowed to
appear in any paper without being authen-
ticated"
There was little, if anything out of the
ordinary routine at the Amalgamated Asso-
cations headquarters yesterday. No new
signatures to the scale were secured. A
number of letters were received from all
parts of the country containing funds for
the assistance of the locked-out men at
Homestead. During the afternoon the Of
fcials were visited by delegation of nom
union men from Homestead. There were
q in the party and all had stories to tell of
their experience in the mill. OF the whole
number two we're rollers, while the balance
was made up of heaters, machinists and la
borers. They had grown tired of the con-
fnement of the mill and left

O'MARA NOT AFRAID.

Tho Superintendent Of Police Says He
Used Neither Deception Nor Force to
Bring Anarchist MoIiicl to Pittsburg-
Why He Wished to Come.
Police Superintendent O'Mara makes q
complete denial of all the allegations made
BY Frank Mollick in an alleged interview
with the Anarchist telegraphed from Long
Branch. He declares he has no fear of any
action Mollick may bring against him, be-
cause he compelled the fellow to do nothing
against his own will Said the Superin-
tendent:
AS to deceiving or improperly persuading
Mollfck to come here, that was impossible,
because he could not understand English
and l could not have talked to him If
wished. don't want to have controversy
In the newspapers about fhe matter, but II
Moilick claims all he is alleged to have said
he Is simply lying don't believe he says
halt that Is credited to him.

nearing at Long Branch or not. He was
arrested by officers there and they had him

charge OF him then l acted on the suggestion
OF Chief Layton, OF Long Branch. As to the
paper Mollick signed waving the right to
WSsS only tn.s
as interpreter In all conversations there,
read the paper to him. Mollick there and
then expressed his willingness to return
without papers, saying he was anxious to
come to Pittsburg and prove his innocence.
He fully understood the nature of the paper
and signed 1t without any compulsion what
ever.
After coming here Mollick signed two
papers, as he says, but not under force or
threats. He asked for q German lawyer and
sent for Henry Meyer, whose reputation is
guarantee Of good faith. When we learned
OF the action against Layton the circum-
stance was explained to Mollick and he will
1ngiy signed paper exoneratfng Layton
and myself from any blame for our action.
Afer his hearing and he was free man,
Mollick voluntarily signed another paper
exoulpating everybody concerned with his
coming here from any blame. There was no
contract by which he agreed not to enter
suit but he stated his belief that no injustice
had been done him, and his satisfaction over
the way he had been treated while here.
Mollick knew that the charge Of being a
fugitive from Justice, which 1 would have
made against him had he not come hero, is
not batlabIe in New Jersey, though 1t is in
Pennsylvania, and that is why he wished to
come here.

LEAVES THE FIRM.

Night Superintendent Nichols, an Old and
Trusted Employe OF the Carnegie Steel
Company Located at the Upper Union
Mills, Resigns His Position.
Discussion last evening among the Anal
gamated workmen at Lawrenceville CEN
tered upon the resignation of Richard
Nichols, who has been in the employ of the
Carnegie Company at the Upper Union
mills for 1S years past. During the recent
trouble he remained in the firms service,
even when he was cognizant of the fact that
by so doing he was gaining the enmity of
all his neighbors and friends in that vi
cinity.
His resignation was made In the form of
letter. The communication follows and
is selfe1planatory:
To Mr. J; R. Scott. Superintendent OF the Upper
DEAR SIR-I hereby tender you my resig
nation as night superintend dent anc puddle
boss, to take enect on sight. Respectfully
yours, RICHARD NICHOLS.
No explanation accompanied the letter,
but when questioned Nichols said he had
taken the step after careful deliberation.
his work having been made extremely un.
pleasant since the strike commenced. Mr..
Nichols does not blame any of the officers
of the company and 1t is not on account of
any ill treatment from them that he decided
to leave their employ, but he says he has
been required to work very hard lately and
could not stand the severe strain. This, he
claims, is his principal reason for resigning.
When asked for some particulars of the in
side work of the mill he said that the Is and
20-iRch mills had not started up until yes
terday noon.
In regard to the number of men working
he said there were less now than at any time
since the strike began, and before the plant
can be successfully operated many repairs
will have to be made. Mr.. Nichols further
stated that the firm had to shut down No. 2
plate mill, the aud 12-inch mills and the
scrap mill He denies the assertion that he
was compelled to resign bv the firm, they
having asked for his resignation for derelec-
tion of duty.
At the Amalgamared headquarters yester-
day the Press Committee reported that dur
ing the morning five workmen from the
East entered the mill to &c to work, and in
addition to these two men from Home
stead entered the works bringing their
trunks with them. To offset this 10 or -
of the non-union men deserted YESTERDAY
and Joined the locked-out men. Among
them were two of the best heaters in the
firms employ.

man. Speaking of the men in the mill he
said that many of them were unacqusinted
with machinery and as Q result were being
injured continually. A number Of them
had had their fingers smashed or cut off,
others had their feet injured, one man hav-
ing part of his foot taken of. and nearly
half the men in the mill are suffering from
injuries of one kind or another.

Non-Union Mon Jeered.

Jeers and sarcastic remarks followed the
towboat Tide yesterday morning on its
usual trip to Homestead. When the barge
left the wharf at the foot of Smithfeld
street, it had on board 100 non-union men.
Quite a crowd had gathered to see the boat
leave, and just as the tow line was cast off
they began calling names after the non
union men. Officers Tetley and Brown soon
dispersed the crowd on the levee.

Charles V. Lewis is spoken of most promi-

longer broached. An opinion was given by
City Attorney Moreland, of Pitts burg, to
The effect that Mr.. Lewis was eligible to

In Councils. The grounds for this state
ment are that MI. Lewis was a member of
Councils when the city passed into the Sec

to officers under cities of the second class
could not apply to members who held seats
at the time of the change of the city, if
they resigned prior to the offer of appoint

The "Nixy'' Of Germany has by some
been supposed traceable TO "Old Nick"
but this is not probable, since ST. Nicholas
has been the patron saint of sailors for
many centuries. II was during the time

the Holy Land was in great peril, and St.
Nicholas assuaged the tempest by his
prayers. Since then he has been snip
