DUMPING GROUND DANGERS
POLICE AUTHORITY REQUESTED
FOR THOSE IN CHARGE.
Dumpmen Frequently Assaulted by
Haulers of Refuse and One Badly
Beaten Last Week.

Considerable lawleSSneSS on the SeVeral
dumping grounds established by the Dis
trict has been reported Of late, eliminating
Friday last in a malicious attack by four
colored women on one of the dumpmen IN
charge. The matter has been called to the
attention Of the Commissioners, and mas
been referred by them to Major H1charo
Sylvester, the superintendent OF police, with
the view of comforting special police pow
ers upon the men placed in charge OF the
dumps.
A. II. 8. Davis, in charge OF the public
dumps, submitted a report on the subject
to Warner Stutier, the superintendent OF
street cleaning. in which he said
"I have to ask you, and through you the
Commissioners, that some insignia of
authority be given to our dumpmen for
their protection, and, as l believe, for the
interests of the service. They are ire
quently assaulted while In the d1scharge OF
their duties, and scarcely day passes that
some lawless, worthless negro, who hauls
refuse to the dumps, does not insist that
he will dump where and what he pleases In
spite OF them.
Broke FitzgeraId's Ribs.
Friday, Mr. Fitzgerald. in charge Of the
dump at South Capitol street between
and @ streets, was yiciously and malicious
ly set upon by four colored women because
he refused to permit them to do as they
pleased They attacked him with bricks
and old bottles, throwing them as If to Kill.
One brick broke one of his ribs; another
fractured a second rib: another struck him
in the stomach, smashing his watch into
pieces, and still another hit the back OF his
right hand, terribly bruising it. Today the
doctor told him he must keep quiet. The
poor man can hardly get around. and fre-
quent1y cries with pain. A colored man has
taken his place for a few days, and l ad-
vised him to go home, which he did.
Police Authority Asked.
II most urgently recommend that each
dumpman be given police badge. with the
authority of special policeman. imagine
if such authority should be conferred the
dumpmen would rarely, If ever have occa-
sion to make arrests or use force In order
to maintain their rights. To show their
badge would be sufficient. AS most of the
dumpmen are careful, I have no fear that
they would in any way abuse or misuse the
authority thus given them. If they should,
1t would be an easy matter to at once de-
prive them of the power conferred. But
urge that some steps be taken to protect
these faithful hardworking servants of the
District government from assault and abuse
while in the discharge Of the duties Inn
posed upon them"
Superintendent StutIer forwarded the re-
port to the Commissioners with this state
ment:
lowing to the number of bad characters
who haul material to these dumps / would
respectfully recommend that police author
ity be given all dumpmen, as suggested by
Mr.. Davis"

NO SETTLEMENT OF STRIKE.
President Shaffer Positively Denie
the Latest RumOrs.

President ShaHer Positively Denies
the Latest RumOrs.
PITTSBURG, September I.-Rumors that
the steel strike had been settled or was
about to be were again in circulation today,
but the Amalgamated officials were positive
in their denials that settlement had been
effected. President ShafYer asserted this
morning that the reports that the executive
committee had ordered the advisory board
to arrange a settlement on the best terms
possible were untrue. No proposition has
been made by the association or the steel
people, he said, and the situation was un-
changed. He also said there was no truth
in the story that he was willing to resign,
or that the matter had been touched upon
during the meeting of the committee. Con-
cerning the trouble at Mckeesport and the
statement that the Amalgamated officials
would be held responsible for acts of Vio-
1ence committed by the strikers Mr.. SHAFT
fer said that If the men obeyed instructions
there would be no trouble, and any member
of the association resorting to violence
would be Immediately dropped from the as
SCciation.
Strikers talked to this morning said they
had heard that the executive committee had
taken action to end the strike, but they
did not know 1t positively. Those seen said
they believed firmly that an order for them
to return to work would come In few
days and that by Monday or next week at
in the mills as union men. No official In
formation to this effect had been received.

Resolutions deploring the attack on the
life of the President and expressing earn
est Thanksgiving to the Supreme Being for
the bright prospect for Mr.. McKinley's re-
covery were unanimously adopted at the
regular semi-monthly meeting of the city
council last night. When the lower board
was called to order at 8 clock the clerk
read communication from Mayor Simpson
suggesting that the body, representing the
people Of Alexandria, should adopt appro-
pirate resolutions in regard to the condi-

Snowden committee, consisting Of two
members from each board, was appointed.
After brief intermission the committee
reported resolution which was unani-

That the city council Of Alexandria, rep

with all others throughout the country, had
manifested such regret at the serious
wounding of the President of the United
states by an assassin, desired to express
its sincere sympathy with the executive,
and add its earnest thanksgiving to Him
who seemed to be overruling the effects of
the murderer's act by His blessing upon
the means which were being used for the
recovery of the President. The resolution
went on to express the earnest hope that
the PRESIDENTS convalescence might be
rapid and that he might soon be perform
ing his duties again as President Of the

Numerous Assaults on Non-Union
Men in McKeesport
ONE WOMAN BADLY TREATED
No Effort Made Today to Start
Up Tube Mill.
OTHER MILLS CLOSE DOWN

PITTSBURG, Pa, September 11.-No at
tempt whatever was made this morning to
start the big tube mill at McKeesport, al
though there was large crowd of strikers
around the mill to keep out any men who
tried to go back After the lively scenes
Of yesterday none OF the employees showed
the least inclination to return, but even
if they had, no work was open for them
and the attempt would have been useless.
Total suspension of the National tube mill
and other plants of the National Tube
Company will likely follow the two un-
successful attempts to resume operations
those Of yesterday and of Monday.
Fires have been drawn at all the Nc
Keesport plants of the National Tube Com
pany, and the firemen and few others who
have been doing odd jobs about the mill
have been notified not to return to work
until further notice. The only people about
the mill this morning are the watchmen.
Fires Drawn at Other Plants.
Fires have also been drawn at the Ma
tional rolling mill and at the Monongahela
steel works This was done last night
and all the men except the watchmen were
sent home. Scarcity of puddiers and fin
ishers and the determined stand of the
strikers are said to have caused the change
The strikers are growing ugly and numer-
Gus assaults have been reported within the
last forty-eight hours. This morning Mrs
Peter Snyder was assaulted by foreigner,
while carrying lunch to her husband In the
National rolling MILL Her dress was torn
and the dinner pail carried off. Mike Cul-
ovitch, who, with his twenty boarders,
worked in the tube mill, was attacked this
morning and warned that his house would
be burned If he did not stop working,
Strikers picket Tuhe MIL
While 1t was pretty generally known
from the fires having been withdrawn that
no attempt would be made this morning
to start the tube mill, nevertheless great
crowd Of strikers was out before o'clock.
guarding the approaches to the big plant.
Their picket duty was quite unnecessary
and quite in vain. for not single man
made attempt to go back to work. The
crowd was not nearly SO great as 1t has
been, yet about LOCO men patrolled the VI
cinity Of the mill. and others were about
the Baltimore and Ohio depot.
Despite the preparations made at the
Monongahela tin plate plant in this city,
the works did not resume this morning.
The fires were burning in the furnaces, and
there was no lack of excitement about the
mill, but no disorder. During the morning
number of cOlored men went into the
plant under the protection of the police.
Painters works started double turn in the
bar mill for the first time last night. There
was a crew Of twenty-five men, and the
management say another crew will be put
on in a few days. At Lindsay & Nc
Cutcheon's five pudding furnaces out of
twenty were in operation, with old men.
Two mills We're also running with full
forces.
Another furnace was started at the Star
tin plate works today, making five in op-
Grafton. The management assert that
they will soon have the plant running in
full.
