SCALE SIGNED, But FEW WORK.
Delegates Fight Over Proposition TO Send
Pittsburg District Men Beck.

PIrTsBURo, April 4.-Few men went to
work in this district to-day in the mines for
which the scale was signed on Monday.
The Pittsburg Coal Company had Al mines
at work and 20 idle. The Monongahela
River Company had IL working and Is
idle. These which were working were not
producing a third Of their regular output.
OF the q, 900 or more men employed in these
mines not 5000 were at work to-day.
An official of the Pittsburg company went
to the hall where the district convention is
meeting to-day and asked that a committee
be appointed to visit the mines and order
the men back to work. The warning dele
gates fought over this proposition the rest
of the day, and finally did nothing. The
men do not want to wofkso long as the nigh
is on between the district leaders.
The independent operators who have
formed an organization and refused 10 sign
the scale. are enjoying the situation They
nave coal in stock and are getting md OF it
at advanced prices. There is no doubt but
that they will sign the scale within a few
weeks. Bets we're being made at the Du-
uuesne Club to-day by one operator who
offered 1000 to $500 that Indiana will not
run coal for 30 days.
General Manager Louckes OF the Illinois
Galleries Company. a Pittsburg o Com
pany plant, informed the company to-day
that he would not run the collieries under
the new scale and would resign if forced to
do so. The Spring Valley company man
ager cent the same word. This is taken to
indicate that the coal companies managers
are not a unit in the fight. New managers
are expected to carry on the work. Strikers
at the Edna mines at Irwin last night shot
up the town. The firing continued all
night and the citizens are in a state of terror.
The men willing to work fear violence
if they attempt it..
Operators here do not think the district
will quiet down fora week or two and regret
now the men were not allowed to cease
work for about thirty days when it was
declared they would have gone to work
~peaceably. They deny that the miners will
lose the concessions they have gained since
the 1903 scale was formulated by accepting
the new scale, but say they are going to
get more.

Arthur j. O'Keefe, who is in charge on
the Brooklyn Police Department. Wis tied

c~ourteously there, AS a result he caused
the arrest OF George Monroe Of ITO Second

In the jefferson Market police court
Mr.. O'keeffe char ged Monroe with OBJ
structing him. He said it was a violation

Monroe wouldn't let him in.
But I'm a police official said Mr.,
O'Keeffe. and it is my right to enter this
place. It's a public building
Nothing doing" answered Monroe at
the door. The Deputy Commissioner said
that his persistence was met with an at
tempted assault. He called Policeman
Freer of the traffic squad to his aid. An
attempt was made to assault Freer, too,
according to Mr.. O'Keeffe. Then they
arrested Monroe.
Lawyer Henry j. Goldsmith appeared
for the prisoner before Magistrate Steinert.
Whom did you go to see at this place?-
questioned Attorney Goldsmith Of the
Deputy Commissioner.
Il refuse to answer. You haven't any
right to ask such a question
Il move, your Honor" said the attorney,
that you dismiss this CT m olaint.-
The Court interviewed with a few soothing
words.
Now, Mr.. O'Keeffe, just answer the
question" said Magistrate Steinert.
Attorney Goldsmith put his question
differently.
What color OF right had you, Mr..
O'Keeffe. to enter this building?T
Again the second Deputy refused to
answer. This time he told the Court about
his rights.
Come burst out Magistrate Steinert
finally. you can answer this question.
Will you? Yes or MOP"
Il won - began the Deputy Com
missioner.
Case dismissed said the Court.
Mr.. O'keeffe left without looking to the
right or left.

County Coal Company. a member oil the
operators' association. that it would sign
the 1908 scale. The company il not a large
one. employing only $50 men, but 1t stood
eth the operators against an increase
and its detection is regarded as n victory
for the miners. The operators say, how
ever, that there NAV nave been reasons for
the detection OUTSIDE of a wish to operate
its mines. and it is minated that it had con-
ira cts in operation which do not contain a
strike clause. TIE Keystone company.
operating a small mine at S~he!burn, also
signed the scale.
The Block operators held a conference
to-day and unanimously agreed that they
would not grant an increase; Their coal

Walter C. Shoup, Wards lawyer, met him
at the pier, and after they had talked to-

to the interviewers.
