LABOR SITUATION

In Pittsburgh District = Progress OF
tho Strike at the Homestead Plant

Mills.
PITTSBURGH. Pa, July 2-The
strike at the Homestead planttof I 2
Carnegie company. which wap expect 4
to assume large proportions, did not
materlallze in a degree appreciable to
the animated.
The following statements were made
by the leaders Of both sides, and the
public Is left to take It's choice.
F. N. shafter, who represents the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron and
Steel Workers said:
ave are satisfied with the results Of
to-day. We have made progress; there
have been no disturbances ana the
Analgamated men who are making the
fight feel much encouraged. There
have been many acceRsions to our
ranks and the fight for the recognition
Of unionism can be sold to De Wen
started.3
General Superintendent ". B, Corey.
Of the Homestead plants OF the Carne-
gle Company, had this TO say:
1--WE are operating our plants with
the usual forces. There are rs many
men engaged at work IN the mills as
there usually are on Sunday nights. The
men not in the mills are those that
have been discharged"
Both statements were made ofter the
men had reported for duty, and the
work Of the night was web under way.
Newspaper men were escorted
through the mills tonight for the pur-
pose OF giving them ocular proof that
all departments were In operation. TO
the reporters every branch seemed to be
working to the limit
Both sides claim TO be satisfied, the
company because II feels sure thas the
attempted strike Is q failure; the asso-
citation because 1t has gained many new
members and expects to secure many
more during the Fourth Of July holi-
day.
The situation at the mills OF Spnng,
Chalfant q Companyat Etnaand Moore
head Brothers Company, at Shafps-
burg, remain unchanged. The clash
that had been looked for between gtFt-
kers and the new men has been avert
ed, and the trouble between the firm
and their old employees will be allowed
to settle itself.
George Heckel, chairman OF the Etna
lodge OF the Amnlgamated Association,
says the firm OF Spang, Chalfant & Co.
offered to pay the highest amalgamnted
scale, but refused TO recognize the as
ISOLATION. The men. he sayA are we'll
organized, and will stand firm for reeog-
milton until the trouble ia adjusted. He
claims that the 800 men from the pud-
ding department who went out on Sat
urday have DogitiOng offered them In
other cities which they will accept by
the end OF this week unless the firm
signs the scale.
Thomas Lynch, a prominent leader Of
the MoOrehead strikers, snys the condi-
tIOns Rt Sharpsburg are practically the
same as Mt Btna, and the men will give
the firm until Wednesday TO accede to
their demands, He declares that un-
der the present demand for skilled labor
It will be impossible for the tlrm to

No signatures to the Amalgamated
scale were reported at headquarters to-.

WARRINGTON, July 2.-Representa-
tive A. g. Dayton, of the Second dis
trict, was in Washington yesterday,
having come here in obedience to a
summons to attend as a member a
meeting of the board Of visitors Of the
naval observatory. The board was In
session the greater part Of yesterday,
concluding its business in the evening,
and Mr.. Dayton left on a night train for
Phlnppl.
The West virginia congressman spoke
enthusiastically of the business pros
poets In his section Of the state, par
ticularly in Barbour county, and so en-
crossed was he in that subject that he
had but little to say in political way
except to predict Republican success In
state and nation next year, with Nc
KInley a sure winner of the presidential
prize.
Coal Land 70 be Developed.
In connection with Mr.. C. F. Teter, Of
Philippl, and others, Mr.. Dayton has
succeeded in affecting the sale of 10000
acres OF coal land in Barbour county.
and the organization of three separate
companies for the development of the
coal, in the accomplishment Of which
there has been an Investment there all
ready Of $4,000 in cash, with all that
implies for the future.
The first company to DO organized
was mentioned In the Intelligeneer sew
eral months ago. 1t was in reality the
reorganization OF the PhllippI Coal and
Mining Company, and the purchase for
CASH OF S,tOO acres of the dusky dIa-
mondB. The company is already in
operation.
Another is the Southern Coal and
Transport Company, composed Of strong
operators from New York and MIchi-
gan. 1t has purchased 5000 acres Of
coal, lying about fve miles west OF Phil
ippl. A branch railroad is to be built
at once to connect with the projected
mineg. and there IS prospect Of develop
ment there equalllng that at Monongah
or Thomas.
New Railroad 20 be Built.
The third sale was OF 1900 acres In
the vicinity Of Burnersville. Barbour
county, Of which the well known Shaw
Bros, OF Baltimore. become leading
holders. This company's development
insures the building Of the railroad from
the routh of the Buckhannon river to
the town of Buckhannon, in Upshur
county, a distance Of fourteen miles.
The engineers will go over the route
very soon, possibly within few days
to locate the road.
The surveys in all these enterprises
are now being made and the cash is be-
ing paid as rapidly as the surveys are
completed.
The company first named has already
in operation a $4,000 electric mining
plant, and other improvements are be-
ing introduced as rapidly as capital can
place them.
Town Laid Ont.
A new town, to be known as Heather
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-07-03

A new town, to be known as Heather
Iy, Is slrsady laid on. in lots, near Phil
ippI, and the company expects to have
200 houses built and occupied before the
snow flies. A railroad is to traverse the
valley leading to Heatherly, and as a
part Of 1t, a bridge Will span the river
at point three miles from PhIlippi.
Mr.. Dayton says the outlook IS most
favorable for large development, the
coal field being almost inexhaustable
and that business in every branch In-
dependent of the favorable conditions
generally, will boom as It never boom-
ed before, even under the most beneh-
cent national policy.
