agvgg?yjB THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, TUESDAY, -DECEMBER , 15, 1891 NOT AT ALL SERIOUS. The Discharges at Carnegie's law renceville Mills Merely CAUSED BYMECHANICAL CHANGES. The Mining Institute to Discuss Interest ing Subjects Here. ODDS AND ENDS FBOM LABOK CIRCLES Kearly 200 men were discharged from Carnegie's Twenty-ninth street and Thirty third street mills on Saturday, and. the im pression being given out that more dis charges would follow, exacgerated state ments were circulated in the locality yesfer dar, causing consternation among business men and the people generally. The story that gained the greatest circu lation and caused the most apprehension was that the Carnegies were preparing to more ihcir mills toDuquesne, where they recently purchased a large tract of land. Another story was that General Manager Dillon, who recently assumed control of the mills, had started in to cut down expenses, and to remove every man who wa not a Catholic. An investigation of the matter shows that the men discharged are only laborers and machinists who have been employed since last August on the work of changing the puddling furnaces from gas to coal "burners, and in the erection of a series of ten coal pas producers for the heating furnaces. This work is about completed and the men were not needed any longer. Altogether 193 men were discharged, 150 from the Thirty-third street and 43 from the Twenty ninth street mill. A few more will be dis charged in a short time. j James Cunningham HcKeesport J Sadie B.

Referring to the fact that ironclads were built here for the Government during the war of the Rebellion, Mr. Graham, of Forest Grove, asks what is to prevent the building of whalebacks. Mr. Graham states that not much of a shipyard would be needed, as after the lower portion of the barge had been built the works necessary to complete can be placed on the barge, and she can be finished as she floats to the Gulf. In this way, also, could be saved the cost of freight on the lumber from the West to this city. It could be conveniently stored along ine jower unio ana .Mississippi ana taKen aboard when wanted. Mr. Graham has made a curious calcula tion of what has been saved by the rail way companies in signs. Inmberand letter ing of late years. Formerly two posts and a great plank was used at each crossing telling people to "Beware of the locomo tive." Ifow a small board and one post an swer the purpose, and on the board is a single word, "Danger." In this and other respects he figures that millions of feet of lumber and hundreds of miles of printing are saved, and says that when we learn European economy in material man r kinds of manufacturing that must now be sus tained by Government props will be self sustaining and profitable. A KHTCNQ INSTITUTE. The Gentlemen Interested in the Industries to Meet In Pittsburg. Next Friday the Western Pennsylvania Mining Institute will convene in the Court House for a two days' session. Coal oper ators, superintendents, mine foremen, fire bosses and all others interested in the ad vancement of the mining industries are in vited. Many subjects of interest will be discussed. Among them are the following: "The advantage of crank drills." "Trie ainerence Between snstt ana arm mines inr.the bituminous region." "The ad vantage of natural drainage in the bitu minous region." "Will the use of the electric licht in mines be conducive to the health and safety of the miner?" Aside from these topics of general discussion the following papers will be read: "Elementary gaes as found in mines," by Joseph W. Blower, of Columbus. "A practical ex hibition in gas with saletv lamps," by Augustus Stinner, of Wilkinsburg. Mine Inspector Adams, of Mercer, will read a paper en the joint resolution passed at thelast session of the Legislature, under which the Mine Commission was created to amend the bituminous mining law. No Trouble at the Homestead Mills. The report that the workmen of the Homestead mills were dissatisfied with the scale and ready to strike is withoui foundation. Both William Abbot, Chair man of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., and the Amalgamated Associations officials denied the report. They both said they were per fectly willing to lie up to the terms of their contracts. A ew lodge in Michigan. Assistant President and General Organ izer M. M.
