IN LABOR'S DOMAIN.
Coming AmaIgamated Scale Con-
Vention Causing Much Dis
cussion in Pittsburg.
Musicians Fail to Condemn Theo-
dore Thomas for Importing
Foreign Artists.

PITTsBURG, May 12.-The coming
scale convention of the Amalgamated
association, with the attendant talk of a
reduction in wages. is the principal
topic of discussion in labor and manu-
featuring circles.UThe convention
meets here June 6, and the indications
are that there will be ABOUT 250 dele
gates in attendance. slight increase
over last years attendance. The
members OF the local lodges prefer
to remain silent on how they stand
in regard to reduction, but there is
every reason to believe that the dele
gates will be almost to man instructed
to stand out practically for the pro-
visions and wages as embodied in the
scale in force at present. When it is
presented to the manufacturers diff
ficuity is anticipated, as it is believed a
reduction has been determined upon.
There are, however. few radical enough
to predict that the controversy will lead
to lockout.

ness has come up before the convention
of the Order of Railway Conductors

CHICAGO, May lat is rumored that
the officials of the Chicago & North
western railroad are preparing Tor
general strike of its telegraph operators.
1t is said by the operators that the COM
pany issued an uItlmatum Thursday
10 us men tnaC they must either
leave the union or resign, and
gave them two DAYS in which to
decide. AS in anticipation of trouble,
the company has employed number of
new operators. The officials of the
company deny that they have issued
any such ultimatum. They say they
have always an extra force of men for
use whenever men are needed. The
grand lodge of the o. Il. I. at Toronto
has been asked to telegraph course of
action, and its reply will shape the COM
pany's action.

THE GREAT HOE PRESSES,

From the New York World referring to its
1O0-page edition of Sunday, May IL
"Three hundred and seventy thou

There were required for yesterdays
edition of the Sunday World, which was
equivalent to 1855, 944 eightpage news

night and day without stopping until
the entire edition was printed, deliv-
cred, folded and counted. This is truly
a marvellous achievement even for these

Under this ruling the people know

when they go to the postoffice depart

is changed, the men in Minnesota who
are at present licking stamps at from

minds that they will be allowed to con-

''get real live hustle OH themselves"
the mugwumps. headed by the post

CHICAGO, May IL. - The supreme

INFLUENCE OR STUPIDITY?
What Is the Situation as to the
Elevator Bill?

To the Editor of the Globe.
[ notice in this mornings GLOBE
that Mr.. Donnelly, with his usual blus-
ter of verbiage, is charging the attorney
general with being under the Influence
of the wheat ring, on account of the de-
cision the officer has rendered on the
law providing for the erection of farm
ers' elevator at the head of the lakes.
For my part, l cannot see how the at
torney general could possibly have rem
dered any other or different opinion
than he has given, under the wording
of the law. unless he was to 60 into the
business of making law himself. | do
not understand that 10 be his business :;
but it was the business of senators like
Mr.. Donnelly, who had charge of the
bill, to draw 1t in such plain and simple
language that no mistake or misunder
standing could have arisen. A very
few words would have made it so clear
that no doubt or question would have
been possible. Why did they not put
those words in? There is but one or
two explanations to this inexcusable
negligence and stupidity, or to this
Intentional defect in the bill. Either
the men like Mr.. Donnelly who had
this bill i'll charge were 50 busy in
blowing and Whooping things UP for the
purpose of making show to the coun-
try that they had not time to draw a
bill that was plain, simple and free
from doubt, or else they were under the
influence of the wheat ring. In view of
the way Donnelly is now bowling it
seems very much indeed as if he were
trying to throw the public on the wrong
trail. This is an old and very favorite
trick of his. Now he wants an extra
session of the legislature to remedy
matters. Is this in order to have another
opportunity to make the wheat ring
come down with some more influence?
1t looks like it very much. Then we
should have another bill with this
defect cured, but some other big
Ioophole left In it. If the defect in the
present bill is a double-breaSted blum
der there is no use to call the same
blunderheads together to make another
BILL. Let us wait little while and get
some new men who may be able to draw
a bill so that an ordinary man can un-
derstand it. Whether the men who had
charge of this bill willfully and pur-
posely, for reasons best known to them
selves, drew it in its present hopelessly
imperfect shape, or whether on account
of natural or acquired stupidity they
were incompetent to draw a bill; in
leither case we want no more of them.
1t is hardly to be supposed the COVER
nor is silly enough to call such addle-
heads together again after once getting
we'll rid of them. No, 10! Bye. bye,
Donnelly ct ais, and please stay bye
bye. CITIZEN.

NO INDICTMENT.

The grand jury, during its two weeks
of sitting, has returned no indictment in
the coal combine matter, and there is a
general expression of doubt and strange
comment throughout the city. If no in
dictment is found in the further work of
the jury. there are likely to be some ex-
pressions of opinion here and all over
the state which will interest the jury
and all connected with the defense of
the accused. This is not case in which

TO BE OPENED SUNDAYS.

The decision of the worlds fair d.
rectors to open the gates Sundays, be
ginning May 81, will meet the approval
of large majority Of the people of this
country. and be hailed with delight by
about all the people of other coun-
tries who intend to come. Looked at
from any point of view, it is wise and
righteous movement
The interests of religion will be bet
ter served this way than by closing the
gates. Let us see if this is not reason
able assertion.
Over 1000 saloonkeepers of Chicago
signed petitions to close the gates, and
put forth their every effort otherwise to
that end. The church people cannot
suppose that the saloonkeeperS were
working in the interests of religion.
Everybody with grain of sense knows
that their only motive was to secure the
Sunday patronage of the great throng !;
and everybody knows also that with
the gates closed their saloons would be
thronged from early Sunday morning
till late at night with people drinking
to while away time. The Lords day
would run riot with drunkenness and
crime; nothing like it would ever
have been seen, even in that
VIGOROUSLY wicked city. When the
fair is under full Roadway, even
with the gates closed, there would
be from 100000 to 10000 strangers in
the city every Sunday, the great ma
jority of whom would spend more or
less of their time in the saloons drink
ing. To say that it would serve the in
terestS of religion better to keep them
off the grounds and let them spend their
time in the saloons is absurd.
Again, thousands of laborers must
work six days in the week, and if they
cannot see the fair Sundays they must
90 without seeing it, unless other ar
engagements can be made. Other ar
rangements are making throughout
Chicago and other cities around,
whereby the employers will give them
week days off by their working Sun
days. This arrangement the church
people cannot balk; they can only say
that it Is wrong to do so, and accept the
situation. To say that the interests of
religion would be better served by keep
ing these laborerS off the grounds, so
that they must work at their trades, is
pure nonsense. The great majority Of
these church people do not think 1t
wrong to walk and ride Sundays for
recreation; they only object to working.
What more healthful and generally use
full recreation could the people have
than spending Sundays on the fair
grounds?
OF course, opening the gates will
make it necessary to employ laborers
upon the grounds Sundays. So operat-
ing hotels necessitates the employment
of armies of help Sundays. With the
gates closed the saloonkeepers will be
compelled to employ many more bar
tenders Sundays.
To sum it up automatically, to avoid
the employment of 1000 laborers on
the fair grounds Sundays, the church
people would have several hundred
thousand laborers work in their shops.
10000 additional bartenderS work in sa-
looms, and the vast throng of strangers
while away the time in the rum shops.
Opening the gates will greatly increase
the receipts; and, from present appear
anceS, the management will need every
dollar that can be had to come out even.

Conference Between Atchison and
Rio Grande Presidents Begun.
CHICAGO, May 12.-The long-talked-
of conference between President JEFF
frey, of the Denver & Rio Grande, and
President Remnant, of the Atchison,
began this morning in Mr.. Reinhart's
office. and will probably continue for
three days or longer. Each president
was this morning surrounded by num-
Der of Subordlnates, and the conference
was more of general meeting than of
talk between the two presidents.
Today was spent in going over ancient
history regarding the Colorado trou-
bles, and no business was done looking
to an immediate settlement. Both sides,
however, declare that the outcome will
be peaceable one.
