THE WIZ MOVE.
Operators Meet at Ptttsbur0, but Nothing
Il 4 1cconnIishrd

Operators Meet at Ptttsburg, but Nothing
II accomplished.
PITTSBURG, Pa, July 27.-Not half
the coal operators of the Plttsburg dis
tr let attended the meeting to-day to secure
a "true uniformity" movement in coal
mining and thus paving the way to end
the strike. The river operators were con-
spicuous by the absence of representative
men. In fact it is believed that the intro
duction of river men as a factor foredoom 8
the movement TO defeat, as they were no
considered in the uniformity movement
eighteen months ago.
committee was appointed to prepare
a uniformity contract. Much of its report
consisted of parts of the uniformity con-
tract of eighteen months ago. The new
matter is:
"The question of thick and thin vein
differential shall be arbitrated if not
determined by the convention. II the
requisite 95 per cent of slgners shall not
be obtained eighty subscribers may call q
mesting, modify the contract and pledge
the support of all subscribe to the action
of the meeting.
ITO settle the question OF wages COM
mission of nine operators and nine miners
shall select a board of arbitration
The report was ordered printed. The
convention meets again tomorrow. A
prominent operator told THE CALL CORE
spondent that it would be impossible to
secure the signatures of 95 per cent of the
operators and that the movement would
consequently fall through.
The San Francisco call., 1897-07-28
Was NOT SATISFACTORY
California Delegates Were
Derelict at the Salt Lake
Congress.
They Failed to Obey Instructions il
the Matter of Convict
Goods.

Previous to the departure of the dele
gates to the Trans Mississippi Congress at
Salt Lake they were all instructed to do
all in their power to protect the manufac-
turers of California from the inroads mad e
on its trade by the convict-goods dealers
OF the Eastern States who for years have
made the Pacific Coast the dumping
ground for their products.
The Manufacturers and Producers Asso-
citation was particularly interested in this
matter, and TO TREY L. Ford, as delegate,
President Kerr gave a letter of instruction
which set forth most explicitly what the
local association wanted TO accom- plish. In
his letter Mr.. Kerr enumerated the many
articles that are being dumped into this
State every year and where they come
from. He gave figures that showed that
nearly all Of the prisons of the East are
sending convict made goods to California
and at prices that make legitimate com pc
.ition out OF the question, and the last re-
quest was that tbe representatives from
this State do all they could in California s
interest.
1t now seems that the delegates from
this State, to great extent, have disre-
garded their instructions. Mr.. Ford has
returned from the congress and to Mr..
Kerr lie sent the following letter. in ex-
planation OF why the instructions were
not followei:
Pursuant to request contained in your letter
OF the 22d ult., il relation to the question of
pure food and the question OF the products of
convict labor, desire 10 say that | presented
botn questions to the California delegation TO
the recent session of the Trans Mississippi
Congress at Salt Lake with the following re-
suits:
Considerable objection was made by por-
ton of the delegation TO taking up the ques-
tion OF the products OF convict labor and in
view of such expressed opposition by por-
tion of our delegation l did not deem it wise
to press that matter upon the congress.
In relati TO the question of pure food /
found no such opposi, upon the part OF the
California delegation, and l therefore pre-
pared what believed to be suitable reso u-
lion which introduced and which received
the Endorsement OF The congress.
The resolution, copy OF which l regret to
say did not preserve, will appear in the pub
Iished proceedings OF the congress and is to
the fleet that the congress would look with
favor upon any legislation, State or National,
which would prevent the sale of impure arti-
cles under the guise OF pure or unadulterated
food products. l regret my inability to secure
the cooperation OF the California delegation
in the matter of the products of convict labor
Mr.. Kerr was greatly surprised at this
information, and it is likely that the mat
ter will be seriously discussed at the next
meeting of the ASSOCIATION.

Adopt a Plan of Action
for Prosecution of
the Strike.
Promise Moral and Financial
Aid to the Struggling
Miners.
VIII Hold Mass-M settings In Their
Interest In Every City of
the Country.

WHEELING. w. VA, July 27.-The re-
suit of the largest conference of labor
leaders in the history of trades unionism
and in the interest of the striking coal
miners was a vote to-day of moral and
financial aid and q determination to be-
gin a campaign to awaken interest in the
strikers condition. At II O clock tonight
the committee appointed to prepare a
plan for successful prosecution of the
strike made its report, which was adopted
after much discussion. 1t provides that
on August 5 public meetings be held in
every city of the Union. Speakers will be
provided to fully acquaint the people with
the condition of the strikers.
In addition every organization of labor
will be expected to contribute financial
aid to the strikers. Each union will also
put organizers into West Virginia to work
under Ratchford's directions They will
be assisted in every possible way except
by open sympathy with the strikers.
Agitator w. II. Miller was driven from
Fairmont tonight by Deputy Sheriff on
the strength OF Judge Mason's injunction
preventing riotous assemblages. This
morning a score of strikers wives attacked
ana injured SeVeTdi ltdIldu miners.
The conference of labor leaders, which
was secret, began at noon, with President
Gompers of the American Federation of
Labor as chairman. The condition of the
strike was announced by President Dolan
of the Pittsburg District Mine-workers.
President Ratchford of the United Nine
workers, w. d. Malone of the street rail-
way organizations and Eugene Debs all
agreed that the men employed by the
New York and Cleveland Coal Company
in the Pttsburg district and the miners
in the West Virginia field must strike be-
tore the battle can be won. The commit
tee was appointed to agree upon plans for
the prosecution OF the strike included
Sovereign of the Knights of Labor, Nor
rissey of the Railway Trainmen and Presi-
dent Gompers.
In antic. patton of to-day's conference
the strike situation seems to have taken
on unusual quietude. Contrary 10 re-.
ports, the Mononga men are at work in
greater numbers than ever. In the south
ern part of the State stories of accession 8
TO the strikers ranks are also denied. In.
terest In the strike in the Panhandle and
along the Ohio line is growing intense
Tomorrow the strikers will march to
Boggs Run and Elm Grove, where many
men are working.

VELBURu HELD
FOR TRIAL
Ex-Speaker Gould Of San
Joaquin Assists the
Defense.
No Evidence for the Prisoner
and He Was Held on
Two Charges.
His Bonds Raised From Five Thou
sand to Ten Thousand
Dollars.

Osca M. Welburn, ex-Collector OF In
ternal Revenue. appeared in Judge
Heacock's court yesterday morning with
Gavin McNab of this City and Frank II.
Gould OF Stockton as his attorneys, Tor
further examination on the charge of
having embezzled portions of the salary
of CLERK Aiken in his office.
The Government was represented by
United States Attorney Foote and Assist.
ant Attorney Schleslnger.
The continuance until yesterday was for
the purpose of allowing the defense 10 in
iroduce the testimony of. Louis Loupe,
ex-chief deputy for Mr.. Welburn, and the
testimony of such other witnesses as they
might choose to call on behalf of the
defendant. But the announcement was
made that Mr.. Loupe was yet too Ill to APP
pear.
Thereupon Mr. McNab announced that
he waived all further examination for his
client but the announcement caused no
surprise to the attorneys for the Govern
ment. 1t had been rumored about for
several days that the defense would not
put in any evidence at all, it not being de-
sired that their case should be foreshad-
owed at this time.
Judge Heacock in giving his decision
said:
There is only one order for me to make, and
that is to hold the defend dant for trial before
the District Court. The bonds heretofore
fixed have been $4,000 and $40 OOO but the
criminality is such and defense has
Deen made, and this is a case of a pu blic
officer, think it my duty to fix like amount
of bail in each case. / therefore fix the amount
OF bail at $4,000 in each case, aud in default
thereof that the defendant be remanded TO
the custody of the United States Marshal.
The bonds previously fixed were $4,000
on one charge and $4,000 on the other.
Daniel NJ. Burns, who was on the old
bonds on the criminal charge, signed the
new bonds, and after some delay the
other surety, Thomas II. Williams Jr.,
appeared and also signed them, after
which the prisoner was released.
1t is a significant tact, not heretofore
mentioned, that Louis Loupe was not
subpenaed at ALL In view of this neglect
on the part of Attorney McNab, his refiec-
tions upon Mr.. Loupe's motives may be
rated as below par.

A BORN THIEF.

He Says He Inherited a Tendency to
Steal Everything.
United States Commissioner Heacock
yesterday morning held Frank Slgmund
to answer charge of stealing brass cast
ings from the United States ship Omaha
The evidence in the case of Charles o.
colt was accepted as evidence in the case
against Sigmund. Olcott was watchman
on board the Omaha and was the prnci-
pal in the scheme OF plunder. He told
Assistant Attorney SchIesinger yesterday
that he intended 10 plead guilty to the
indictment.
~ was born a thief," he said. any
father was thief before me and 1 in
herited the tendency
1t would not console the prisoner If he
were informed that Judge de Haven
might have inherited a propensity for
infiicting the highest sentence known to
the law on criminals of Olcott's stamp.
