CENTRAL STRIKE INQUIRY

Both Sides Close Their Case Before the Kew York Board of Arbitration, Which Announces It lias Not the Power to Ren der a Decision Manufacturers Organize ; Against Strikes Other Labor News. ". Albany, N. Y., Sept. 5. Tho State Board of Arbitration met at 10:15 this morning, Mr. Purcell presiding. Mr. Powderly did not arrive this morning, and Messrs. Knight and Korer A. Pryor appeared for the Knights of Labor, and Hamilton Harrison for the road. Division Superintendent Bissell, of Albany, took the stand, and said that all dismissals on the New York Central were at tho order of the third vice-presi-deut, and ho understood that Mr. Lefevre was suspended for lack of attention to duty. He did not know that any body was dismissed because he was a Knight of Labor. Mr. Pryor asked for details as. to Lefevre's neglect of duty, and witness said that he Lefevre often was seen neglecting his le-, gitimate duty. Witness knew that the discharged man was a Knight of Labor, but did not pay attention to his standing. He admitted that ho thought Mr. Lefevre was active in the Knights. Mr. Lefevre, a discharged employe, testified that ho had been in the employ of the company for eighteen years. Mr. Bisseil discharged him, but gave no reason, telling him ho knew what for.' He supposed that it was because he was a Knight. He had never been reprimanded, suspended, accused of drunkenness or incapacity. The testimony of other discharged employes, of the same general tenor, was taken. The object of the witnesses was to show that they were discharged on account of their connection with the Knights of Labor. Officials of the road testified to the discharge of the men for cause, in one instance the cause assigned for the discharge of three men being that they were bothering with committees when they shouldhave been at work. Commissioner Purcell asked for the production of the agreement between the road and the men, as heretofore published, and it was put in evidence. Both sides declared themselves through, and the hearing was declared closed. Mr. Purcell, inclosing, said, that the public, he thought, and the newspapers were under the impression that tho board could give a decision in favor of one side or the other. That impression was false. He wished it understood that the law allowed tho board to give an opinion or a decision only when both parties consented to arbitrate. In this case the board would consider the testimony and would make certain recommendations for the amicable settlement of the difficulty. The board cannot make this announcement, however, but through the . Legislature, and so January will probably be the date when their views will become public. The only advantage thus far gained is in the bringing of the case in its true light before the public. Alliance Against Strikes. Pittsburg, Sept. 5. A number of the richest corporations in the country have formed an alliance against strikes. Among the corporations which are members of the combination are the Westinghouse system, both in this city and elsewhere; tho Yale Lock Company, Colt Arms Company, and four or five other big factories in Connecticut, and probably the Pullman interests. The compact agreed to is, that in case a strike occurs to enforce unreasonable demands, whether tho strike be against one or all of the associated factories, all work is to cease. The strikers are to be allowed to remain idle until they see fit to return to work, and no factory is to employ any worker who may have left another factory on a strike. Neither is any associated factory to seek workers during a strike from anvof tho federated works. The institutions' named employ between 50.000 and CO, 000 ' workers, and directly support 250,000 to 00,000 people, exclusive of other interests depending upon tho earnings of these people. It is claimed by these manufacturers that tbe action of their workers has forced the alliance. Queer State of Affairs at Wheeling. Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 5. Matters are in statu quo as far as the street-railway strikers are concerned. This morning the company put a force of men to work clearing the obstructions from the track. .and most of the stuff was removed, but as fast as the men proceeded, stones, ties and other obstructions were piled back on the rails by sympathizers with the strikers. The company applied for police protection, and a squad of officers went over tho line in the Lighth ward with Mayor Seabright, biflno good was accomplished in that way, and'when the company asked for officers to ride on cars about to be started out, some of the men said tbev would take off their badges first, and the Mayor advised the company to forego tho attempt to run cars. This evening the tracks are obstructed at points, but otherwise there isnoevidenceof trouble. The strikers disclaim any responsibility for the disorder of yesterday or the obstructions on the tracks. - Hours of Labor Reduced. Pittsburg. Sept. 5. The machinists and boiler-makers employed in the shops of the Pennsylvania railroad were considerably surprised to find notices posted stating that hereafter the nine-hour day would be adopted at the same compensation per hour ci before. The men employed in the boiler h and machine shops had presented a peti tion for nine hours with pay for ten hours, wnicn nad oeen reiusea. inero had Deen a strike in contemplation, but tbe company nipped this in the bud by cutting down the hours of work and pay. The men were surprised, but not entirely displeased. They are formulatinga petition for presentation, asking to have an advance in wages. The company's officers announco that the low rates now in vogue for transporting freight demand that there shall bo a retrenchment of operating expenses, and tbat the reduction ot hours was deemed a better method of reducing expenses than by dismissing men from employment. Change In the Policy of Carpenters. Chicago. Sept. 5. Nearly every member of the Carpenters' Council was on hand at a meeting last night. J. G. Ogden, a member of tho present strike committee and an active member for several years, was elected president, vice James C. O'Connell, resigned. A delegate made a speech advocating a general strike. Immediately an uproar ensued, during which a motion was put and seconded that the present conservative policy concerning the strike be continued and the action of the striko committee concurred in. This was immediately put to a vote, and carried by an overwhelming majority, and the disturbance was soon forgotten. There are now less than soven hundred carpenters out on strike, - k At a secret session of tho Carpenters' and Builders Association, held last night, a resolution was adopted to the effect that the association wopld continue paying S3 cents an hour to good workmen.

Alexander Walters, of NewYork, of the committee on the Star of Zion the church paper, began reading tho reports, tho preamble of which was to the effect that the conference displayed disloyalty in not supporting tho Star when the churches had declared it to be the official organ.

Chairman Blanchard, of the Central Trafiic Association, who has jnst returned from New York, seems confident that tho new,uniform hill of lading will soon be in use by all the roads leading eastward from Chicago. He bases this belief upon the fact that the Wabash has consented to adopt it in connection with the Canadian Pacific, that the Big Four is also to waive its objections, and that the Chicago & Grand Trunk agreed several .weeks ago to adopt it, provided all other lines would do so. There is reason to believe that Mr. Blanchard will wait a long time before his expectations arc realized. As stated a few days ago, the Chicago fc Grand Trunk is alive to tho fact that tho uniform bill of lading is obnoxious to the shippers, notwithstanding tne omission -ot tho words 'not negotiable." . - Will Ilnlld a Monument to Colaunbun.

TEXAS EEPUBLICAKSINIINE

Full State Ticket Nominated, with Hon. Webster Flanagan at tiio Head. President Harrison's Administration and Acts of Congress Indorsed New Tarty Born at St. Louis McKinley in Maine. San Antonio, Tex., Sept. 5. Tho republican Stato convention has adjourned sine die. The Uuney wing of the party returned home tlushed with victory. Save the nomination of Webb Flanagan for Governor, they won everything, and they, lost this only by hair's breadth. Flanagan's only opponent was C. W. Ogden, of this city, who received only six votes less than the successful candidate. The full ticket is as follows: For Governor, Webster Flanagan, of Hendorson; Lieutenant-governor, W. K. McKemaol, of Williamson; Attorney-general, J. T. Hague, of El Paso; Comptroller, William Werth, of Dewitt; Land Commissioner, J. M. McDowell, of Childress; Treasurer, J. D. Siblitz, cf Denton; Superintendent of Public Instruction, Dr. W. Lidner, of Haxter. Among the resolutions adopted by the convention aro the following: We indorse and renew our assurances of entire confidence in the administration ot President Harrison. - We commend the Republican party for its adherence to the policy of protection, and heartily favor. In that connection, the extension of the foreicn commerce of our country by reciprocitytreaties with American states. To this end, we also favor the encouragement by subsidies, or otherwise, of lines of ocean transportation with said American states. We indorso the financial policy of the government, as administered by tbe Republican party In its maintenance of the national banks, in its management of currency and Increased issuo of silver money, and express our confidence In its meeting every exigency of publio requirement in maintaining a volume of currency that will In every way comply with the wants of the country. That in a government of the people, w here the rights of the minority are as eacred as the rigths of" the majority, as Republicans we emphasize our approval of the present relations of the different departments of government and adhere to the principles and policy born with the goveminent itself of keeping separate our federal Judiciary as far from the lmmcdiato influence of elective methods as practicable, and maintaining the constitutional provision of making tenure of oilico for life; and tho recent assaults made by the Democratie party on this, the chief bulwark and security of justice to tho whole people, endangers our liberties and the entire theory of our government. The maintenance of free institutions depends upon free and fair elections and honest returns thereof. No lover of liberty should oppose ihe enactment of any law .tending to protect the sanctity of the ballot-box. Wo therefore unhesitatingly favor the Australian ballot system and all other proper measures thfr will render our elections a free and honest expression of the will of the people of our entire country. The Republican party is unalterably opposed to every species of class legislation. It knows no class, and it believes In manhood suffrage and the enloyment by the people of every right guaranteed by our national and State constitutions. We demand tho maintenance of free public schools for the full limited time guaranteed by the State Constitution, and we denounce as palpable hyprocrisy the promise of the Democratic party in regard to free schools. We demand, therefore, an adequate appropriation by the Legislature for a free school terra of six months or more annually. We further demand a uniform system of text-books, to be printed under the direction of the State Printing Board and furnished at cost. "Greenback Weaver for Congress, ;Des Moines, la., Sept. 5.

It was to be hoped that the political campain of this year on tho part of the Democracy of Indiana would be conducted on a different plan from that of 18SS, but it seems that the same foolish and unsuccessful tactics are again to bo employed, to the disgust of all sensiblo people. The very, day after the Democratic State convention was held it was announced that certain nominees, generally conceded to be unpopular", "are stronger than the party," that 4,the ticket nominated promises to be the most popular that has ever been placed before the peoplo of Indiana for their suffrages." that "there were no wounds made," that "the entire ticket will be elected by from 15,000 to JiO.000 majority that "the platform is the best ever submitted to tho voters," and other similar soft and sickening slush. The real fact is. Democrats of Indiana, every one of you, to gain a party victory, will be obliged. to work w with a will, .and exercise judgment, common sense, honesty of purpose, and go to the polls on election day, and cast your ballots for principle and good government. The Republicans are on the alert, and will place their best material in opposition to our ticket: they will work witn a desperation that knows no tiring, and they cannot be defeated by mere brag, bluster and nauseating campaign slush. He AVpa't Come Oat. Lafayette CalL The Journal has crawled into its hole on the "tariff is a tax" proposition. Come ont. old boy, and stand up like a man. The-wage-earners oi5 this locality want to know how you propose to cheapen .commodities in this country. Where and who do you propoee to strike to lower the price! Ninety per cent, of the cost of an article represents the cost of the labor in it. Do you propose to cut the labor? You have a margin of 10 per cent, to work on, representing the cost of raw material and interest on capital em ployed. Will you strike at the capital or the rfcw material? Yon know you cannot touch either capital or raw material. You can cheapen prices by cheapening the cost of production, but tho only way that can be done is to reduce the wages of the la borer. Will the Journal suggest the reduction of wages? It Is a Very Live Issue. - 8pringfield Republican (Mng.) ? Whatever is to o the nltimato fato of the Lodge federal elections bill in Congress, it appears that it is still regarded as an issue of campaign warfare, not only by the New York Iribune, but by many of the Republican clubs. Tho Tribune asserts that this will be tbe fact in the league of New York State, and evidently it will be so in Pennsylvania, where lately the Americus Club of Pittsburg resolved in favor of the measure and of urging its importanco on the Senate, and the secretary of the State league responded to its resolutions in tbe most ardent manner in his letter reducing the representation of the Southern States in Congress by thirty on grounds which the Lodge bill is evidently expected to abolish. ' A Safe Prediction. New Albany Tribune. One plank in the Democratic platform favors "the total abandonment of fees and perquisites in the payment of Stato and county officers," and "demands the enactment of a law lixing fair salaries for ail publio officials." Now what new light is this that has broken into the darkened Democratic mind? Where do they get such an inspiration? Legislature after Legislature has b$en controlled by them, but there is no "fair salary" law and no "abandonment of fees and perquisites." Now note this, and remember we told yon so: If the Democrats have the majority of the Legislature they'll pass no such law. If the Republicans have the majority and propose such a measure, it will secure the opposition of the Democrats. Luxuries Must Be Paid For. Brazil New Era. Clay county has a largo debt, brought upon it by the mismanagement of Democratic officials. Our county has the poorest court-house in this section of the State; onr bridges are dilapidated; oar roads are the worst in western Indiana. Who is responsible for these things? The answer is obvious; those in power. As our Democratic brethren h ve held control of the board of commissioners they must certainly be the responsible party. We havo a county debt of $50,000 or more, and what have we to show for it? . Movements of Steamers. Nr.wr York, Sept. 5.

When a Southern Democrat can't talk can't stuff a ballot-box or count out a Republican candidate for Congress he is interfered with "by infamous force bills." Miners Hurled in a Care-In. Isiipeming, Mich., Sept. 5. Eight miners were buried in the Lako Angeline mine by a cave-in on tbe sixth level this morning. Every effort is being made to rescue them. The men are alive and are communicated with by means of a pipe used to convoy compressed air for the power drill. - It Sounds Funny, Rochester Tri tune. How does it sonnd to hear the Democrats denounce, in their platform, the election of Harrison and Morton as the result ot fraud, when Sim C03', the leader of tho Democracy of Indianapolis, has been in the pen for fraudulent actions in elections? There Is No Danger of That. Detroit Tribune. Senator Stockbridgo is right in savins there is no good reason why the Senate cannot do all of the. business it itaa outlined

( Mr. WHIPPLE will continue tho management ot Young's as heretofore. for itself previous to adjournment. If th Senate Republicans desire to serve their party best by serving their country best and we believe they do they will consent to no proposition from any sourco to carry the tariff bill over to an extra ses eion in November. The tariff bill and other important measures should be passex. without further delay. We are jnst enterinR upon an oil-year campaisrn, and i t wouhL be a most stupid piece of business to hana up the tariff bill until after election. Trying to Explain Its Length Nebraska Jrzmal. ? The longest political platform of the ytat was' got up by the Indiana Democratic State convention. The explanation of it tremendous inflation is said to be that the convention didn't want any Bourbon to find that it had no explanation to make of tho, increase of the State debt several millions during the administration of Governors Gray with a Democratic Legislature, and? they drew the thing out so that no Demo-,' crat would ever read the thing through andd see that it wasn't there, J The Danger to the State Credit f Brookvillo American. There is no reason whatever that thei State credit should be impaired, except! through tho fear that may be felt at homa and abroad that the name reckless manage--xnent may prevail in case the Democratic party continues in control of the Legisl& tore. There is where the real danger to the State credit comes in. Smash the Demo' cratic party and save the State credit 1 Chance for a Change of Bolea 1 Washington Special. At the next session there will be prob ably an addition of four Senators to the lie Fubhcan side from Idaho and Wyoming n that event there may be a change of the rules, and some way of escape provided fotf the Kepublican party from the danger ofl being talked to death in tho "A&exic&x House of Lords." . Good Cause for Grumblings Ti r rr IV1 Tmiti a. The Hon. Dan Voorhees complains tfc&$ the Kepublican Senators desert the Senate chamber when ho is about to make 4 speech. He has a rieht to complain. What is an audience ot oid and fossilized Demo crats to an ambitious orator? Complimented as Grant Was Iowa Repiater. Sneaker Reed has been more generally and highly complimented by the Democratic press than any other Kepublican since General Grant was President of the, United States. Deuiocratio abuse is tho best compliment that can be made to Ko
