The tendency of minority par

against the dominant organiza

has already resulted in an al

and Third ; parties in : several

being to wrest such States from
Republican control, and it ap

out beinz pursued m the South,
with the difference;; that the fu-

to be for the Democrats to ob
tain the" state omces m the
event that the fusion succeeds,
while the new organization will
take as its share of the trade
the electoral votes of StaUs
which are captured from the
Republican column.
In the South, however, the
plan w 11 be for the Kepublican
party 0 secu votes for Presi

of votes delivered for the candi

for the past twenty years, is ad
vocating a" fusion betweenjthe

ivll results ot caraegrie Company
Methods In Pennsylvaulu. ?
From the Sputh Pittaburghur. -,1.
The Carnegie concern has cotit
the American people not only
millions of money, but scores of
ives. and has Hooded Pennsyl
vania with tne labor of the scum
of Europe. When the - troubles
m the cofce region occurred a
dozen years ago and the Ameri
can laborer refused to work at
reduced wages, tiie FnckCoke
Company mled up the region
with Hungarian and Polish
cheap labor. The dozens- of
bloody riots and strikes that
have occurred since then in the
coke regions came about largely
through this class ot labor, ig
norant and debased, a strike
meant a fight to them, and the
destruction of property. The
wholesale importation of this'
abor by the Frick Company was
the turning point in the flood- j
ing of America with this somh
of Europe cheap labor, other
manufacturers being quick to
take the cue, and it finally re
sulted in that easily evaded law
known as the "act to prohibit
the importation of foreign labor
under contract."
Strike after strike has result
ed in the Carnegie works, the
Edgar Thomson steel works par
ticularly being the bone of con
tention year titer year, uae
year the' Amalgamated Associa
tion would, have it out with
Carnegie, and after being crush
ed out of the mills the Knights
of Labor , would orgainize the
plant and try their hand with
the steel king. No one has ever
credited Andrew Carnegie with
lack of brains, and he has
been shrewd enough in the past
to pit one labor organization
against the other. Where a few
years ago Braddock was the
stronghold of American labor,
today.it is a non-union town,
ana a very large percentage of
its population is Hungarian and
Polish, most of whom were
brought to Braddock by Came
gie at different times to break
strikes of American labor. Just
four years ago, during the sum'
mer of the last Presidential
cunpaign. the scenes now being
enacted at Homestead, though
in a modified form, were taking
place at iiraddock
The .Knights oi Lauor then
had six local assemblies at
Braddock composed of steel
workers and furnacemen, and
in their efforts to effect the an
nual settlement of wages were
confronted with the hrst Car

not on the earnings that hat
been paid, but as compared with
wages paid for similar work
elsewhere in America. The

Company and the Joliet Steel

Those who did not desert tbs H. Poabody, chief of the De
ranks of onranized labor were partment of Liberal Arts,
driven into other occupations,
and the o ulcers at " the works,
from Superintendent Jones
down, seemed to tike cruel de
light in inflicting injury on the
sullerers. A few incidents of
those times wilt explain the
situation. .
Mr. Carnegie, in his triumphal
tours through Scotland, jver
aching for that newspaper noto
riety which he seems to get
through his public gifts and his
labor troubles, has made many
speeches, aweiung in glowing
terms on tho rosteritv of his
workmen in Braddock. Once
ujoii a time, at his native town
of Dumferiine, Scotland, he was
impressing his hearers with the
irlorifs of American life and ad-
visi-d them alt to c to the Unit -
ed Slates. "Fellow-Scots," he
cried, "go to America. Uo to
P.raddock. I will give you work.
ou will never want if you
work for me. Any man who is
a Scotchman can have work as
lomrashe lives at Braddock."
Among the many who heard this
vain-fflorious eration was a
sensible, brawn r young fellow
named Dave Gibson, and he
concluded to follow the "Star
Spangled Scotchman's" advice,
us came so America ami wen
to Braddock, and sure enough
he got work. A few months
later came tho strike of 1888,
and although Gibson was not a
member of the Knights of La
bor, he quit with tWe other un
organized men, preferring to
wait until the strike ended, his
manhood revolting agamst work
that Pinkerton detectives had
to guard.
When the strike endod, dur
ing the whole of which he had
remained passive, he applied to
Superintendent Jones for his
job and was told to "get to h 1
out of here "I A few days later
Jones noticed "Gibson at work
aiding in the rebuilding of one
of the furnaces. "1 thought 1
told you to get out of here," he
said, "l know you did." re
plied Gibson, "but this is a free
country, and as I am not worlt
mg tor your firm 1 propose to
remain." He was employed by
Riter & Conley. a Pittsburg
firm, who had the work in
charge. Jones went to the fore
man and told him to discharge
Gibson and it was done instant
ly. He was literally run out of
Braddock, and when he applied
at the city oflice of Riter & Con
ley he got no satisfaction for
his trouble."
Another incident that im
pressed itself on the writer's
mind. was that of the seventeen-year-old
son of a soldier's wid
ow, whose husband had ' served
in the sam company with Su
perintendent Jones. When the
mill started work again the boj
got back, and one day after his
work: was done he attempted to
earn a few extra dimes by fer
rying people across the river in
a skiff to a grove where the
handful of locked-out men were
giving a picnic in hope of rais
ing a few dollars, as they were
in actual want. Among his
passengers were the Superin
tendent of the blast furnaces
and one cr two under bosses,
who were spying around to dis
cover who should attend tt.3
picnic. When tho boy told
them he was wonting ia the
mill, he was informed that he
need not return to,, work, as
they had no-use for any one
who even sympathized with the
strikers. He cried and begged
permission to work, saying all
they had was the few dollars he
earned and what his mother
secured by washing. He got no
sympathy, however, and one of
the. strikers, also an old soldier,
who had been in the 6ame com
pany with Superintendent Jones
appealed to that gentleman to
reinstate the boy tor his lath
er's sake. It was in vain: the
boy did not get back.

The New York Press says
that Col. Albert A Pope, whe
is engaged in the effort to make
the roads of this country bettor
than they are, thinks it would
be a helpful idea to have a
building of road making 'exhib
its at the Chicago exposition.
Such a display would include
statistic of the extent and kind
of improved roads made in sev
eral European countries; cost
of construction and maintain
ance, with rates of wages; dia
grams and photograph ot good

abroal; and of larger machines

Pope heads his own movement

may be faintly. imagined ouly
from tuo knowledge that every
country landholder possesses
as to the c-iiect of good or bad
roads on the value of his land,
whether for residence purposes

The Durhamites, who have been
camping for ten days at Soekahatti,
near Orange Factory, broke camp this
moraine and returned to the city. It
was an exceedingly delightful trip,
and the entire party, which was a
congenial one, had a very pleasant
time. This morning about 10 o'clock
they ba le adieu to the familiar scenes
with regret. One of the most prom
inent pxsjnoges at the camp was
Jess, one of the tenants, and an ex
ceodingly original and inimitable
character. He was called en at all
times and on all occasions, and will
long be remembered by every one

fresh about their brows. It was the
intention of our citizens, to show in

them to their respective headquarter,

time owing to the fact that no train
on the western road made connection
with the train arriving here at noon.
