Reorganized Company to Control tna Schullz Bridge Works. ariTAL AND LABOR ITEMS PICKED UP- There is intense excitement in the coke regions over tho attempt of the operators to resume.

The Grand opera house massv-meeting at Mt. Pleasant was crowded last night with miners. Messrs. Penna, "Wise, Plnsman and Barrett addressed the men, And urged them to hold out. The speakers were of the opinion that the operators could arfjrd to pay even more than the )nen demanded rather than a-k them to accept a reduction of 7 per cent.

The following resolution was then adopted: "Resolved, That we consider the scale as presented br the operators of the coke regions to said employers as an ia-Bult, not only to the miuers, but to all who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow; and be it further "Resolved, That we consider tli3 scale as preposterous, and that our intention is to reaiaiu idle for one year rather than ac. eept such terms; and be it "Resolved, That wo regard our officers es efficient to look after our interests." At Frick's general ollice it is claimed that the following works are in partial operation: Redstone, Jimtown, Jjeisenriujr, Morewood, Coal Brook and Mutual. Some of ths men have certainly accepted the new scale of 7 per cent reduction, -as the operators expect to have the above named works in full operation by the old men this week. some m'cluke men workixo. The McClure compauy reports its Coal-Tarooic plant of 7u ovens to be fully manned.

Manager Lynch of the Prick Company was seen yesterday afternoou at by a Post correspondent aud raid: instructions were net to attempt to start our works until about the first ot May, but as we were receiving applications from men daily to go to work, and as the company had decided on the scale of wages we would pay, I could see no good reason for keeping them out. When the notices were posted last evening, I had no Kiel so iiiuuu wont wousu ua uone ior at leairt a week. I expected only a few men to start. You can imagine my surprise when I received those notices this morning that out of 17 of the works where the scale was postod 10 of them are working. We did not post the scale at eight of our works for the reason that we have not orders enough to take the product of all, aud must defer starting some until tho demand increases." When asked in regard to the published Ptatement of President Rae and other labor leaders in the morning papers, Mr.

Lynch said: "We went ovor that ground fully at the last conference, and proved by I the actual figures that wages here aver-i aged fully 20 per cent wore than are paid i in auy other coke district in this country, Some classes of labor are paid about twice as much here as in any other district, and if I mistake not Mr. liae admitted the correctness of our figures." FIFTF.EX CARS SniPPED OUT. Manager Brennan of the McCiure Company at Scottdale said in an interview: "We are nhipping 13 cars of coke to-day. I cannot understand why Mr. Rae spent three days of this week in Scottdale in silence not to eay iu hiding.

Instead of meeting us here and making his statement, or delivering it to us in writing, he went off to Pittsburgh, and fired at us through the newspapers at a range of SO miles." There wa almost a riot at the Leis-c-nriUR No. 2 works yesterday. A liurn-her of men went to work there, and the strikers decided to hold a mass meeting in order to get the meu to quit work and xejoln them. Several speeches were made, and resolutions passed that the men. who were working must be forced to quit.

Seventy-live or 100 of the strikers gathered up clubs and stones, and made a raid ou the works, and drove the meu away. Stones and all sorts of missiles flew everywhere, and several men were ittruck, bat not badly injured. As soon as General Manager Lynch was apprised of the occurrence, he telegraphed to Sheriff McCoimick for assistance.

J. K0T AFTER THIS MONTH LAWYER A. M. BROWN ADVISES AGAINST THE EXTENSION. City Treasurer Deimlaton Will Not lls-count in April.

City Treasurer Denniston's determination not to allow a discount ou taxes paid after March 31, notwithstanding thecoun-cilmanic resolution authorizing him to do so, was decided by an opinion from his attorney, Major A. M. Brown, who says: "It seems very clear to me that the resolution of councils cannot change, alter or repeal the act of assembly. The language of the act is: Any taxpayer of such cities shall have the riht to pay at his option and it Is made the duty of the city treasurer to receive the entire amount of tax levied and allow a deduction or abatementofo per cent on the amount of the September install ment only, in case the whole amount of tne tax is paid in tee montn ot Marcn, and not otherwise. Thedefaultof councils tq levy the tax in time to enable tho city treasurer to receive taxes during the month of March does not confer upon the city treasurer auy legal right to disregard the provisions of the paramount law.

He cannot collect the taxes until the councils transmit to him the levy and tax books which constitute his warrant of collection." Referring to the opinion Major Dennis-ton said: "I cannot do otherwise than refuse to allow discounts after March 31. I will have all the books by i) o'clock tomorrow morning. I will receive money until midnight on Monday night also if necessary to give the people a chance to pay." Controller Morrow points to the opinion as corroborating what he has claimed, that if a taxpayer goes to tho treasurer's office and by reason of the crowd ahead of him is unable to get his money receipted for he has recourse to law.
