Supr. Malone Tells the Rate at Which His
Work Progresses.
Superintendent M. L. Malone, of the Fed
eral building, felt somewhat aggrieved yes
terday over the complaints which have been
made to Supervising Architect Windrim by
some Pittsburg man visiting in Washing
ton. He said:
He says the work is going SO slow that the
people of this city ought to protest, that stone
is lying on the ground here which ought to be
put into place. that not half the quantity of
stone is laid in a month that should be, and
that month, or nearly month, has been occu-
pied in raising the rigging. Now, that man,
whoever he may be, does not know what he Is
talking about. Let me show you. During five
months since have had charge of the work
here IL, 900 cubic feet of stone has been laid.
At that rate the So 600 feet set in place in the
building should have been put up In 25 months.
You know it required four years. That shows
how rapidly we nave been pushing the work.
You must consider also, that as the building
in place is constantly becoming necessarily
slower. No stone can be laid now because the
rigging is being raised. We have only been two
weeks at that work, but il it is completed
within month it will be good job. The last
time the rigging was laid by Superintendent
Patterson 1t cost S. 600. It is more difficult
now, because so much higher. We are getting
the rigging SO high up this time that it will not
have to be elevated agaiH 1t will complete the
stone laying on the building. 1t is elevated So
feet above what it was before.

held meeting last night. The impending
advance OF wages asked for was discussed,
but as the movement is general among the
members of the craft irrespective of any or.
ganization, no action was taken upon the
matter. The assembly received one new
member and three propositions. This is a
fair indication of the steady growth of the
order in the district.
The demands of the molders for an ad-
vance of 10 per cent in the present wages
were presented to the employers yesterday.
None of the latter gave any indication that
they would sign the new scale. The latter

answers are received by the evening of the
18th, the men will not go to work on the
following Monday. Another general meet

Fircmeu VIII No Longer Weld the Brush in
Engine Houses. $50.
The painters of Allegheny City have at
last secured victory in the matter of STOP
ping fremen from painting engine houses.
About year ago Local Union No. Is.
which is the strongest in the city, began to
protest against this work being done by the
fremen in their leisure moments. They ad-
vocated giving out the work by contract to
union painters, the same as has been done
in Pittsburg for years. The Councilmen of
the Northside did not take kindly to the
idea on the ground that they did not have
to pay the firemen for the work.
A committee composed of Messrs. M. P.
Carrick, G. F. Dysert and james Brady
was appointed to push the matter. At the
meeting of the City Property Committee
Monday night resolution was passed to
give the work out by contract.
At a meeting of the union last night a
unanimous vote of thanks was passed to the
City Property Committee for their action.

money.
