THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. PKIDAlC ' AUGUST 19. 1892.. THOUSANDS IT WORK. The Majority of Iron Mills in the Country in Operation. STEEL THE POINT IN DISPUTE. Eeparats Ecales Required in the Different Eteel TYorls; TWO MORE BIGXEES TO THE NEW SCALE All the disputes between the iron masters and their Amalgamated work men are now practically settled. As a result the majority of rolling mills and their auxiliaries throughout the coun try are in operation. But few manu facturer! hare signed the steel scale and most of these mills are still idle. Ow inj to the different machinery nied and the variety of the product each steel mill re quires a separate scale Some of these are being "prepared now and in a week or ten days it is expected that a great number of plants will resume work. There are about 475 rolling mills and steel works, 30 iorges and bloomeries, CO wire nail works and 65 cut nail factories in the United States. These give employ ment to upward of 80,000 workmen, and the annual capacity in iron and steel is not iar short of 21,000,000 tons. These plants are distributed among S different Slates, the largest number, 211, being located in Pennsylvania. Out of the 478 mills, 75 have been idle for some time, about the time number are non-union and GO are con trolled by independent labor organizations, while the balance, 268, are under the con trol of the Amalgamated Association. Out of these 268 mills at least 350 are in operation. The number of workmen em ployed in these 150 mills is placed at about 18,000, and the annual capacity in round numbers is rated at 8,358,300 net tons of finished material, embracing merchant iron and steel, special shapes, ingots, etc About 80,000 workmen are given steady employment when all the mills are in operation, but at the present time only about 40,000 workmen are en gaged. Deducting 8,385,300 net tons from 20,428,494 net tons, the annual capacity of all the mills, there will be a balance of 12, 070,194 net tons which the country would lose if the works that are now idle would continue so. By dividing these figures into days the total loss in product for each dav the mills are closed will be about 35,000 tons. Up to a late hour last night the only ad ditional signers to the new scale were the Bellaire Xail and Steel Company, of Bel laire, and the Birmingham Boiling Mill Company, of Birmingham, Ala. The Birmingham Company had its office in Louisville, Ky. The plant in Birming ham was compleied in July, 1880. The works comprise ten double and three sin gle puddling iurnace, seven annealing and two pair furnaces and six tram rolls. A new mill was added in 1887 with 22 single puddling and one heating furnace, Tone squeezer and one 20-inch tram of rolls. The product is bar, angle, sheet and plate iron, round edge lire, small T rails, tram rails and fish plates and specialties in car iron. The capacity which is 50,000 net tons every year gives employment to 400 men. THE YOTJMGSTOWN C0SFEBENCE. The Joint Committee Adjourns Until To Day TTitliout Adjusting Slatters. After an all-day session the Conference Committee of the Amalgamated Associa tion and the Mahoning Valley manufactur ers at Toungstown adjurned at 6 o'clock last evening until 8 o'clock this morning. They arrived at no agreement. The com mittee and manufacturers, however, are very near a settlement, and it is expected that an arrangement will be made before the meeting adjourns to-day. An official of the Amalgamated Association, sound and conservative on all matters pertaining to the wage question, stated that any agree ment reached will have to be satisfactory to the Pittsburg men. For that reason the scale to be agreed upon will not contrast to any great degree with the one decided upon at the Pittsburg conference. He also stated that the Mahoning Valley iron manufacturers want a reduction in the puddling department, but will not insist upon it providing they succeed in obtaining some other smaller concessions asked for from the committee. What the concessions are he refused to make known. Yesterday afternoon District Vice President McEvey received a telegram, informing him of some trouble among the workmen in Pmdlay.but he will be unable to go there to adjust it until after the conference. B0UHD TO HAVE ITS EFFECT. The Settlement at Jones I-auzliIW Mill Tsai an Important One. "In many respects the announcement that Jones &Laughlins have agreed upon a steel scale is as important as the settlement of the iron strike," the Xew York Iron Age will Eay to-day. "It means an ample supply of soft steel, which is bound to have its effect upon the whole wire, plate and structural business. Pig iron is quiet in all the lead ing markets, although some exceptionally low transactions have cropped up. Thus a Birmingham furnace has sold a lot of 500 tons of grav force in Central .Pennsylvania, Jour months, at S12, delivered, equal to S7 94 at furnace, which we believe to be the lowest yet made. There is one point in con nection with the struggle between solt steel and puddled iron which has not attracted the attention it deserves, and that is that soft steel rolls easier, the tonnage being considerably heavier, and that the percent age ot bad work is much less. In Bessemer pig both Chicago and Philadelphia report fair transactions, while Pittsburg notes a quiet, unchanged market." TO TKE SIBIKEES' PLACES. Ten Non-Union Switchmen Leave for Buf falo Yesterday. Ten men, representing all sizes, ages and conditions, boarded the 3.20 o'clock train on the Lake Erie Bailroad for the scene of the strike in Buflalo. They were piloted by two employment agents, and were en gaged to take the places of the striking switchmen in New York. In response to an advertisement the ten men applied to P. V. Benson, who has a temporary office in the Ferguson building. One of the men came from Kittauing, while the other nine are from this vicinity. When the men applied to Mr. Benson they were oongea to answer tne loiiowing questions: Name, address, last place of employment, how long engaged, cause for leaving, when did you leave and what roads engaged on? Most of the men were experienced. They are to receive the folloning wazes: Day loreman, 65; day switchman, SCO; night foremau, f70; night switchman, ?C5. Talnter Mill In Oprratlon. The differences belween the firm and the men at J. Painter & Sons West End Mill, as been amicably settled. Ever since the adoption of the new iron scale one week aro, the workmen refused to return to work owing to a dispute oyer the price of cotton ties. Tronbe lias Itoen AcJJastrd. At the Spang-Chalfant Iron Works, in Etna, Manager George A. Chalfant re ported that the plate mill is now running double turn aud the trouble with the Amal gamated men has been satislactorily ad justed. A C a riant bold. The Belgian window elass works at Tiffin ' O., hare been sold to George iL Brickner, of Sheboygan, Wis., and Andrew Serick, of Mansfield, O., for $35,000. Far from it Settlment. The trouble between the firm and the em ployes of the Baker Chain "Works at Woods Bun is as far as ever from a settlement. The plant is operated by the Oliver Iron and Steel Company, who have signed the scale but refuse to Interfere with the man agement of the chain works. Manager Da vis, who recently assumed control of the plant, refuses to recognize the Amalgamated' Association. Jinking Great Improvements. The Jefferson Glass Company at Wash ington, Pa., is making extensive improve ments in its plant. A large portion of the manufactory has been torn away that it may be bnilt on a larger and more exten sive scale. A new stack is almost com pleted, which will contain about 100,000 bricks. BD1LDIXG A BRIDGE. A Temporary Footwalk Over the Allegheny at Sixth Street Tearing; Down the Old Structure A Gigantic Traveler Cost or the New Bridge. To-day pedestrians over the Sixth street bridge will use a temporary footwalk. The workmen were busy yesterday putting on the finishing touches,and by this morning it will be opened for travel. This walk is 14 feet wide, and will be used while the old bridge is torn up. As the work now stands, the new abut ments and piers have been finished. The scaffolding built upon the piles is complete, and the cables of the old bridge are being torn of The bridge when ootnpleted will be what is known as a through truss. There is nothing similar to it about Pittsburg. There are to be two abutments and piers. The main truss will be 45 feet from center to center. A 60-foot girder will reach from the pier on the Allegheny side over the tracts of the Pittsburg and Western Bail road. The floor beams will extend from pier to pier, being four feet square and capable of supporting a great weight. These beams will be overlaid with a bed of con crete a foot thick, upon which the bed proper will be placed. This will e com posed of wooden blocks, eight inches thick, and placed closely together. The process of tearing down and taking away the old piers, cables and strands of the old structure is complicated. First, what is known as a traveler is built. In this case it is 100 feet high and 60 lest wide. Upon this are strung blocks and tackles worked by steam power. The whole thing is upon a track and run from one part of the bridge to another as needed. With this two of the piers are to be taken down at one time. The center ones will be at tacked first and the other four removed in their turn. Great care has to be exercised in this work, and it is slowly accomplished. xne material taken rrom tne old bridge is being piled on the shore at each end, and can be used for nothing except scrap iron. The new bridge will be five leet higher in the center than the present structure, which will be a boon to the rivermen, as hereto fore great trouble was experienced in pass ing under it with towboats. One of the distinguishing features of this work will be the use of buckle plates for the roadbed. This material is very expen sive, and adds greatly to the cost Most of the material used is shipped from the Union Bridge Company, ot Athens, Pa. The total length will be 900 feet, and it will be the finest through truss bridge in the country. The work is expected to be fin ished tiy the first of January, though it all depends on the weather and how rapidly the material can be secured. The cost is about ?2,000,000. HEW SOTIHSIDE HOTEL. Work Has Already ISeen Commenced and Will Be rushed Forward Kapidly. Ground has been broken for a new hotel on the corner of South Twenty-second and Carson streets. It is to be built by John L. Schott, aud wheu completed will be the largest hotel on that side of the river. The plans have been drawn up by Fred C Sauer, and the work will be pushed to com pletion as rapidly as possible. It will have a frontage of 25 feet on Car son street and extend back 86 feet. It will be built of brick with stone trimmings and have a stone foundation. The first floor will contain an office, dining room and bar. In all there will be about 30 rooms, includ ing baths on each floor. The kitchen will be connected with the old building in the rear. The building will be arranged so as to be heated with either hot water or steam and will have an independent fire- Elace in each room. All the mantels will e of slate. The ventilation and sanitary ar rangements will be on the most approved system. The light will be furnisned by electricity, and a complete electric bell sys tem is to "be put in. The ceilings of the first floor will be of paneled iron and are to be engraved with numerous designs. That part of the build ing facing on Carson street will be decorated with a fine oriel, extending from the first to the fourth floors. This will add greatly to the appearance of the structure. There is to be a tin roof and fire escapes will be put up. Wheu completed it will be a $20,000 hotel. ABBESTES, ESCAPES AHD BEPEUXS. A Frisoner lino a Btlrrinc Time for a Little TChile. James W.

EXTENSION At Which the Question of Cost or Value Ceases to Be a Consideration. Building and extension sales are getting to be as common as dirt in this town. Some deal ers knock out a partition wall, dig a hole in the ground or lengthen a shelf, and then advertise big reductions (?) on account of rebuilding or making extensive improvements. The public, however, can and does easily judge between fact and fiction. Everybody knows that Kauf manns' extension sale means something. As a matter of fact our contemplated new addition alone (80x230 feet) will be larger than any retail concern in this city. This fact speaks vol umes. And yet it is only an indication as to what the near future will reveal. But never mind the future. It is the present our still very large spring and summer stock that concerns us most The workmen are encroaching on our old buildincr nuttino- rnnm at a nrpmtum anrl forcing us to close our goods. Besides, we want to avoid as much as possible any damage caused by the dust and dirt of tearing down and rebuilding.
