A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writing from Shenandoah, Pa., says : All through the anthracite coal regions the relations between the various classes of labor- ing men are growing every day more sensi- tive. Perhaps it would be more correct to say the differences between different classes of labor. It needs but little study of this subject here to discover that there may be a great deal of difficulty in subduing the grow- ing discord between the workingmen who make up the bulk of the population in min- ing communities. The country has had a taste of this character of conflict in the re- volt of nearly all classes of citizens on the Pacific coast against the Chinese. Some new emigrants are now coming into the eoal regions, to create here the same agitation as the Chinamen did in California. The English, Welsh, Irish and almost all other miners are getting restless at the sight of these laborers, and out of temper at their methods and purposes. They make a fair claim that they come to this country to be- come citizens, and to add to its wealth and character ; that they bring families to raise, to increase the sum of our population. It is their ambition to make a good home, to edu- cate their children, and in many respects to make them good citizens of this new Repub- lic. To do this they must have work at good wages and broader opportunities than this lower order of people demand, against whom they now proclaim. Employed about the coal mines, ever since I can recall anything about mining, there have been a large number of old men and boys. They worked in the breakers, pick- ing slate and doing other service. But of late years there has been a scarcity of this class of toilers, for very many of the miners, getting ambitious for their sons, began send- ing them to school, in order to prepare them for higher duties than digging coal. Each ear labor for the breakers grew scarcer. Finally the steamship companies doing a large steerage business took the matter in hand. It is claimed that they sent their agents through the European countries in search of people who were willing to work cheap and live upon very humble fare. They settled upon the Hungarians as meeting these demands. They have been importing these people in large numbers. From 15 to 20 live in a single shanty, one woman doing the and housework of the mess. They little or nothing for main- and it is claimed that the average expenditures of the Hungarians who dwell in this will not exceed $10 a month, all told. Every dollar besides the actual cost of living is usually sent by draft to the old country at the end of every month. They are very dirty in their habits, clannish in their way of living, and seem to be simply bent u gain. ere seems no difference of opinion among the miners of the different nationalities. Practically, all naturalized ing men, or those expecting to make this their home, are bitterly hostile to this new ; They have crowded the old men and boys out of the coal breakers and taken sion of a good deal of the unskilled labor of the region. The majority of tradesmen and other ——- of the village are quietly almost as much down upon them as the miners, for nothing to build up the town. The very fact that many of the people outside of the miners would not object to seeing them driven out is one of the serious aspects of the situation. The demonstrations so far made are not serious if it were not for the temper of those with whom they are surrounded. In this of 12,000 people, perhaps, there are 2000 Hungarians. In Mahanoy City, d and Wilkesbarre the ratio is about the same. The Philadelphia and Read- ing Coal and Iron Company virtually con- trols the business interests of this region, and has, it is said, taken this matter in hand in a quiet way. Its detectives are watching the movement, and taking every precaution to protect the company’s property in case of an outbreak. There is a rumor here that this corporation had issued an order to its superintendents that no more Hungarians shall be employed upon their works. The poneneeen character of the Hungarians may ong delay an open rupture, but if they should retaliate when attacked there is no exteyen, the result. The boys of the village ve so far been the principal aggressors, stoning the ‘‘ Huns,” as they are called in this country, on their way home from work and other occasions. Not more than eight months have elapsed since the first batch of Hungarians made their appearance here. Stolid and dumb as they are, they do not lack courage when vue to the wall, and since they have understood the situation they have been themselves with knives and pistols. The saving fact is that there is plenty of work for everybody. The mines are working on full time, and the town is being rebuilt after the fire which nearly swept it out of existence in November last; but when the mines go on half time, which they will do before the middle of May, and the new build- ings in the town are finished, the crisis may come, If then there are more hands than employment can be found for, and the Hun- cartes eqn:he picked up for wages that nobody else can live on, an organized move- ment to drive them away by any form of perseeution may be looked for. Herded to- gether in squalor and filth, eating nasty food and drinking « vile alcoholic compound fs which they prepare for themselves, any com- munity which has a proper regard for sani- tation must, for its own protection, force them to quit their crowded quarters, reform their personal habits and cease the use of putrid food. The authorities here are taking such a step, to which they have been com- pelled by the prevalence of small-pox in the town. A board of health has been estab- lished, with plenary powers to cause the evacuation of tenement houses that are over- crowded, and to enforce all other sanitary measures that they may deem necessary. Mr. Jacob Foster, local editor of the Min- ing Herald, found, he said, ‘‘ 426 Hungarians living in 37 small houses. Some of them work as low as $2 per week, and pay $2.50 per month for board. They buy their own meat and flour, and the meat is usually the vilest refuse of the slaughter-houses.

It is reported from Steubenville, Ohio, that that section of the Ohio Valley is worked ‘up to a high pitch over the discovery of natural gas. While the efforts in that direction have been unsuccessful in Steu- benville, the villages of Lazearville and Mid- way, adjoining Wellsburg, W. Va., on the line of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling and Ken- tucky Railroad, six miles from the city, are more fortunate, having within easy reach five flowing gas wells. South of the town ; are Barclay wells Nos. 1 and 2, struck within two weeks; adjoining these is the Rocky Point well, while on the Ohio side, just op- LOT SER srr . aranagd “y fp OP OP PB mre rer re be Sree ws ~~ Za oe S V7 = ya PANES o Pt YY__7____d\ BEE 4 << _ | ae Pewee 4 1 Coe | alia } | In connection with the gas well the com- bly at its afternoon session. All attempts to pany will have their glassworks for the manufacture of table lamps and ware in working order by July 1, and will use noth- ing but gas as fuel. They are in possession of a new patent furnace, whereby they can | use either coal or gas without making the changes or cooling the furnace. Besides sup- plying their works, the company will supply private families. This will make an im- mense saving. Hundreds of people are vis- iting the well. In the office of the com- ny, 300 feet from the well, no other light is needed for reading or writing at night. The well is called the ‘‘ Will o’ the Wisp.” I A California Manufactarers’ Asso- eiation.—An organization has been formed at San Francisco called the Manufacturers’ Association of California.

The boys go to school in the winter and work in the mines in summer and spring. They are getting out of school now, and while they used to make from $15 to $20 a month in the breakers, the Hungarians are doing the same work at $2 or $3 a week.” Col. Thomas H. Rickert, who is building a dam at Lost Creek to supply the Girard estate collieries with water, talked of the matter as an employer who has about 130 of the Hungarians in his pay. ** They are,” was his opinion, ‘‘ reliable, but rather stupid workmen, and probably one-fourth of them are good meditlipien- ethane, masons, carpenters and the like. I have had as many as 500 in my employ at one time, and was paying them last year from $1 to $1.25 daily. Ihave generally found that as soon as they know what the market price of labor is they want the full figures. My men have just struck on me for $1.50 per day, and I am weeding out all but the most useful of them.” The problem presented for settlement is an exceedingly difficult one. The precedent established by Congress to satisfy the clamor of the Pacific Coast is cited constantly to maintain the cause of those who insist that these cheap laborers must go.

But the | Spaulding, treasurer ; e | consumers from the Barclay wells, w best and greatest well is that of Dalzell Brothers, glass manufacturers, and formerly of the Southside, Pittsburgh. Five months ago, with every discourage- ment possible, the Danzells began to bore in a flat, marshy piece of ground about two miles due north of the Barclay wells. On the 24th ult., at a depth of 1285 feet, a strong vein was struck, and lighted for the first time the next evening. gas is of a pure ity, entirely free from salt water and perfectly dry. e flame, when lit, ex- tends 40 feet, and the light is plainly seen in this city, six miles away. The well has 907 feet of casing. The earth about the mouth of the pipe is literally baked, while the roar can be heard four miles off, and windows one-fourth of a mile away continually rattle. The company believe the pressure fully u to the McGuigan well in Pennsylvania, whic is 300 pounds to the square inch. A 16-foot plauk was placed over the hole of the well, and with as many men as could stand on it it was lifted into the air. As soon as possi- ble the Dalzells will run a 25-foot pipe from the top of the derrick, 75 feet high. This will throw the light for miles around, ! A. S. Hallidie is president, M. Scott, vice-president; N. W. rge C. Hickox, secretary. The purposes of the organization are ‘‘ to promote manufacturing interests of this coast by establishing more intimate and amend the bill were overwhelmingly de- feated. Thus, Mr. Otis, of Westchester County,-pointed out in vain that the indem- nity bond was ridiculously small in view of the costly buildings on Broadway that would be imperiled by the building of the Arcade. He moved that the bond be made $3,000,000 instead of $600,000. The amendment was rejected by a vote of 31 to 77. The bill was then passed by a vote of 109 to 8. The As- sembly also passed by a vote of 97 to 1 Sen- ator Robb’s bill for the enlargement of the Grand Central Depot in New York. At the last moment the New York members of the | Assembly who had seen great faults in the bill abruptly became its friends. ve states The Stubblebine Furnace. The advantages of gas-heated reverber- atory furnaces over those heated by solid or raw fuel are so many as to have led to their adoption by many manufacturers, notwith- standing the great expense incurred in their construction. Their costly construction no doubt has stood in the way of their more general adoption by manufactures. Old and heretofore undesirable forms of puddling and heating furnaces have been retained because their reconstruction would require that large sums of money be charged to profit and loss, and that still larger sums be charged to construction account to cover the expense of building new ones. The problem before iron manufacturers has been to utilize their old plant to as great an extent as possi- ble, and to have the changes necessary in order to secure the economic use, and com- bustion as slight as practicable and involving the least possible expense. Mr. William Stubblebine, of Bethlehem, Pa., has invented and put in use a fur- furnace which he claims secures these advantages, retaining the maximum of the old furnaces and requiring a minimum of change. Before describing this furnace, a few words about the principle of combus- tion in the old reverberatory heating and puddling furnaces. The first product of combustion at the grate-bars of the furnace is carbonic acid. In passing through the upper layers of fuel the carbonic acid be- comes dissociated, the oxygen takes up ad- ditional carbon and becomes carbonic oxide, one volume of CO, becoming two volumes of CO. In this operation a large part of the heat developed in the first stage of the pro- cess is lost. Many attempts, with varying success, have been made to burn this car- bonic oxide, either in the upper part of the fire-box or while passing through the furnace chamber. In the Stubblebine fur- nace a portion of the gases from the fire-box is mixed with the upper blast, and the mix- ture thus formed passes into the heating chamber through openings in the roof of the furnace. The invention consists essentially of the combination in the heating or pud- dling furnace of a fire-chamber and a gas- chamber communicating with the fire-cham- ber through openings, some of which are on one side of the gas-chamber and others on the opposite side. Referring to the accom- panying cuts, the rear openings A, in Fig. 1, communicating with the fire chamber, the front openings B, with the working chamber, these communicate with the mixing cham- ber, which is built over the fire-chamber. The upper air blast C is introduced into the roof of the furnace between the gas- chamber and the fire-chamber. This is forced over the roof of the fur- nace for two purposes—first, to keep the bricks cool and make the roof last longer ; second, to heat the air. As the heated air passes out it enters the 6-inch pipe D, which reaches from one side of the furnace to the other, and is placed directly above the ports A, the heat from the fire-chamber giving additional heat to the air in pipe D before it passes to the ports B B, where the air and gases are thoroughly mixed. On the pipe D there is a valve to regulate the amount of air required in the furnace to give complete combustion. There is also a blast-pipe that supplies air under the grate of the furnaces. This also has a regulating valve to give the proper amount of air to the fire for combus- tion of the fuel, and which the workman regulates according to the requirements of his furnace. The furnace, it is said, cleans instantly, the heat becomes intense, and the whole action is under perfect control. The accompanying illustrations will convey to the reader a clear idea of the form, arrange- reciprocal relations between the various | ment and position of the gas-mixing cham- mechanical and other industries. bership already embraces upward of 100 names, representing nearly every prominent manufacturing and laboring pursuit, en- gaging large capital and many thousand employees.
