P1TTsBURa, June 3.-Quite sensation
was occasioned to. day by the quashing OF
the proceedings IN the Carnegie cases,
growing out of the Homestead strike.
The grand jury had found true bills
against Chairman II. G. Frick, Vice
Chairman J. G.. Leischmsn, Secretary
Lovejoy, Otis Chllds, Superintendent
Potter, Robert and VIM. Pinkerton, and
all the Pinkerton employees engaged in
the Homestead riots, the charges being
murder, riot and conspiracy. Yesterday
the private counsel for the prosecution
sent the following letter to the district
attorney: 1000
P1TTsBURG, Pa, June 2, 1893.
Clarence Burgeigh, Esq.,, District Attorney
for the courts of Allegheny county:
The undersigned counsel for the pros
ecution 10 the various cases against IL,
G. Frick, say that after repeated and
full examination OF all the evidence
bearing upon the cases against Mr..
Frick, we are fully satisfied that no just
cause existed for the finding Of an in
dictment for murder or any other orimi-
nal offense against the laws of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Therefore, out Of sense Of justice we
Join in request that no further pro-
ceedings be had, and that you as the
official charged with the just administra-
tion Of the law, dispose Of the same. We
make no suggestion as to the manner OF
the disposition of the cases. We have
no desire for further litigation.
[SiRnedl THOMAS M. MARSHALL,
w. j. BRENNAN,
JOHN I. Cox.
This letter applies not only TO II. O.
Frick, but also to all his co-defendsnts,
and as a result OF the above, this morn
ing the court, on motion OF District
Attorney Burleigh, quashed sll the in
dictments.

Inspection Of Grain.

State Grain Inspector Jones has
crossed swords with the Kansas City
board Of trade on question Of who
shall have charge of the inspectors at
Kansas City. 1t appears that heretofore
the inspectors have been under direct
supervision Of the grain dealers, in conse-
quence of which the farmers Of Kansas
have stood q poor chance in that market.
Mr.. Jones has concluded to chang the
order Of things provided there is any
law to sustain him. He has made rules
regarding inspection which do not suit
the board and ont Of which the dispute
arose. A suit will be brought in the
supreme court to test the authority Of
the state grain inspector. 1t issaid that
the influence exercised by the board over
former inspectors has cost Kansas farm
ers many thousands Of dollars.

same price; slack sells at 6 cents. The
operators can pay all expenses with this
nut and slack coal, while the lump coal
is clear profit.
Three-fourths Of the miners live in
tenement houses for which they pay
from S5 to 81 @ month. Those houses
are principally owned by the coal opera
tors. The majority Of the coal COM
panies also own stores which get the
trade of the coal miners. Some Of these
companies expect the miners to purchase
all their goods at the company store,
and il they don't do it, they discriminate
against the miner.
"Up to the time Of our walk-out, the
miners were paid for screen coal 81
cents bushel in summer months and 4
cents in the winter months. The miner
gives the company S5 pounds to the
bushel, while the company sells only 80
pounds to the bushel, which is equiva-
lent to the miner giving the company
for nothing one days work in seventeen.
''The company is now taking advsn-
tage Of the dull season Of the year, when
there is not the demand for coal that
there is in winter to put the new screen
law into effect three months before the
statute takes effect. They believe by so
doing they can fix prices to suit them
selves, and the miners will be compelled
to accept them. The law will call into
use the system we had several years ago
Of weighing the coal before screening at
many places, for which the miner then
received 21S and 3 cents per bushel'
Now the companies are demanding that
the miner shall receive only 2 cents,
Notwithstanding the companies are re-
ceiving as much for the coal in market
to-day as they did when they were pay
ing 21s and 3 cents to the miner. The
miners are also receiving less for work
ing marrow work. and brushing all
kinds Of dead work than they did q
few years ago. Six years ago they re-
ceived for narrow work $2.40 yard
for which they now get S1.80 yard.
"We are demanding no more than the
miners just across the line in Missouri
are receiving. At Minden, Mo-, moi
more than half a mile from the state
line, and at other Missouri shafts not
over 400 yards from our mines, they have
been paying 219 and 3 cents bushel uE
to the time Of the walk-out, which is al
that we ask for.
"IR you will look at the reports oi
Labor Commissioner Betton you vii
see that the miners in our country aver
aged only slO5 for each working day oi
the year. Now the companies propost
to reduce It still lower. The miners
cannot make living at the price offered
Il means starvation for them if they arr
compelled to take the wages which the
operators are now insisting they must
take. l have no doubt in the worlc
we will win, because we are right"

THE COAL MINERS.
They are Still Holding Out Against a
Reduction Of Prices,

heQuCClOQ OF Lr1V6Sn
The coal miners trouble which as
sumed the nature Of walk-out at GirRrd
and Pittsburg on May 10, has spread to
other mines and is still unsettled. The
trouble grew out Of a determination on
the part of the operators to cut the scale
down to such rate as would more than
cover the difference made by the new
screen law in favor OF the miners They
took advantage Of the dull season so as
to bring the miners to terms before the
law should 90 into effect. But the men
have the sympathy of all union miners
and last week those of Lesvenworth and
Usage counties held meetings, at which
they showed decided inclination to
take sides against the operators
President Walters, Of the Miners
Union, land member OF the legislature)
has been busy attending these meetings.
He was in Topeka on Friday and ex-
pressed his views to the Capital az
follows:
"No one can regret more than / do
that our miners are in this trouble, but
there was no way around it. The reduc-
tion now proposed by the company
amounts to about 30 cents a day. This
the miners cannot accept and keep their
families. Our miners are now paid
about 20 per cent. less than the miners
in the eastern states, and their expenses
are higher than almost any other state
Our wages are 80 per cent. lower than in
Colorado.
awe are not fighting for recognition
as an organization. We are simply de-
msnding just wages for our labor, and If
the company will pay the price, the men
will return to work.
"The cause Of the present trouble
is the enlargement Of the screens by the
various coal companies in the last five
years, by which more and more OF the
miners coal is taken-called nut and
slsck-without any recompense. AL
that goes through the screen the miner
receives no pay for. We maintain that
the operators make as much money on
their coal now as they did six and seven
years ago, and at the same time they
have all along been enlsrging their
screens, which, Of course, reduces the
wages Of the miners. They now take
one-6fth more from the miners thar
they took five years ago. 1t is true thai
coal is not selling quite as high in the
markets as it did six years sgU, but II
ig also true that railroad transportation
is 8 cents bushel cheaper than at thai
time, which more than makes up foI
the depreciation in the selling price
In Kansas City, under ordinary circum
stances, lump coal, wholesale, sells fol
10 cents q bushel; nut coal, for which
the miner receives no pay, sells at the
