PROVIDENCE, June 1.-The strike com
mittee spent the day in discussing the
situation, chiefly considering the approach
ing crisis when the mills reopen on Mon
day morning. The committee claim to
have been greatly helped just at this time
by the increase in wages at the Washing
ton mills at Lawrence, Mass, which
manufactures the same class of goods as
the Riverside mills at Olneyville. The
strikers committee state that the manu-
facturers have sent agents to Quebec

CLASH IN THE AMALGAMATED
Advocates of $3.50 Rate Prevent an
Agreement with Employers.


Agreement with Employers.
CLEVELAND, June 1.-The session of the
Amalgamated Association yesterday was
decidedly stormy Although the recon-
mendation of the scale committee that the
pudding scale be filed at S4 was adopted
early in the convention, number of men
who had been active in the agitation for q
higher rate, and who were placed on the
committee to confer with the manufac-
turers, broke over the traces and de-
manded a rate of $3.50.
This was fatty refused by the manufac-
turers, who asserted that the business i'm
provement is yet incipient, and not such
as to warrant the advance demanded
They intimated that if the association
would decide on 81 rate they would agree
to sign yearly scale, thus doing away
with the time clause by which it has been
possible to terminate the scale at sixty
days notice, and which has always been
very distasteful to the men,
1t is foregone conclusion that another
conference will be held in Youngstown a:
soon as the convention adjourns. Tht
finishers, who were also unable to accom-
plish anything because of the action o
the puddlers, are very angry at the actor
taken by the faction which fought for {
higher rate, and some lively times are ex
pected before the close Of the convention

ORGANIZED FOR ARSON.
Confessions of Men Who Made In
oendiarism a Profession,
WORKED ON SCIENTIFIC PLANS

How the Firebugs Destroyed the Evidence
of Their Crime-Iusuranoe Adjusters
Interested in the Work of the Gang VIII
be Arrested.
NEW YORK, June morris Schoen.
holz, who was arrested recently on the
charge of arson, has made a statement to
the police which will probably result in
the arrest of dozen or more insurance
hdjusters, 1t is alleged that Schoenholz
confessed to firing at least half dozen
houses in this city and Brooklyn by pre-
arrangements for the insurance. One
'flre" in Yonkers was all prepared and
ready, when it was prevented by accident.
The fires that "panned out" were all set
with benzine on the bladder plan. This
plan Is as simple as it is effective The
doomed store or fiat is sprinkled with al
cohol and a bladder filed with the inflam-
mable stuff is suspended from the ceiling.
Then 1t is set on fire, and when the flames
reach the bladder there is an explosion
which destroys the property and every
vestige of the manner in which the nre
was set
A similar result is obtained by turning
on all the gas and letting one jet burn.
The explosive point is reached in due time
These are flash fires that so long puzzled
| police and firemen Morris Schoenholz
was the expert who did the business, but
he was himself simply the tool of gang
of fire adjusters,
Another member of the gang, named
Hirschkopf, has also made n confession.
The flrebugs, according to Hirschkopf,
are oath bound and have regular head
quarters. The conspiracy is known as the
dark secret" and each member was duly
initiated. Schoenholz is said to have been
the head, or "chief mechanic" of the gang
which fired the west side apartment
houses the headquarters of which was in
! d saloon in Suffolk street.
According to Hirschkopf, who fled to
| San Francisco at the time of his indict-
ment several months ago, Schoenholz
tried to burn to death Simon Rosenbaum
who was suspected of betraying the con.
spiracy, in fire which he started at Lynn
Mass.
Rosenbaum, who was formerly the
"chief mechanic" of the Isaacs gang, was
frightfully burned and upon his recovery
was the principal witness against Ad
juster Grauer on his trial last February
Rosenbaum then testified that he knew
one member of the gang who was driven
insane by torture, because his fellow con
spirators suspected he was traitor.

PENNSYLVANIA LEGlsLATUKE.
Tho House Sounds the Death Knell OF
Apportionment Bills.

AppOrtionment Bllls,
HARRISBURG, June There will be no
apportionmont by this legislature This
was settled yesterday afternoon by the de.
feat in the house of the congressional, SEN
atorial and Legislative bills. The entire
afternoon session was consumed in the
consideration of these three measures.
The test vote was on the question;a Shall
the house proceed to consideration of the
legislative bill? The motion was carried
by vote of IS to SO, nineteen Democrats
voting with the opponents of the bill The
measure was then voted down by IS yeas
to SO nays. The senatorial and congress
sional apportionment bills were called up
in turn and defeated by practically the
same vote The defeat of these measures
is regarded as a victory of the friends Ct
Senator Quay.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for the re-
moval of the Eastern penitentiary pro
voked much discussion, but it passed
finally with only four dissenting votes.
The first bill taken up at the morning
was the general appropriation measure. II
carries total expenditure of Sl5500,0O0
the same as appropriated two years ago
The schools are given S11 100000. The
bill was read the second time and ther
sent back to committee for amendment
A number of appropriation bills passed
finally.
The appellate court bill passed finally
in the house last night by vote of $40 tC
90 Mr. Merrick, the legal oracle of tn,
farmers, made a strong fight against th,
measure, but was beaten at every turn.

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Very Encouraging Reports from the In
dustrial World.


dustrial World.
NEW YORK, June 1.-R. G. Dun g. Co.'s
weekly review of trade says More far
reaching than any other change during
the past week if really warranted by facts,
is the continued risei prices of wheat and
cotton. Real scarcity of either would af-
feet all business Happily there is still
room to hope that accounts of injury are
greatly exaggerated although there has
been some evidence during the week that
both the great crops have suffered more
than at first appeared. Other changes are
almost all favorable and some highly en-
couraging. Labor troubles are clearly less
threatening. Monetary conditions are sat
isfactory, and the substantial increase in
the commercial demand is good sign.
The failures during the past week have
been 215 in the United States against 1873
for the same week last year and "a in Can
ada against 81 last year.
Bradstreets' review says; Reports from
manufacturing industries at seventy-tve
cities east of the Rocky mountains show
that more than 227 important manufac-
turing concerns started up between April
/ and a week ago, by reason of which $4,000
employees have secured work. But the ad-
ditional and significant fact is found in
the report that wages of no fewer than
17S,O00 industrial employees have been ad
vanced within this period an average Of II
per cent, of whom siX-sevenths received
the advance without striking.
