NO CHANGE THIS YEAR.
The Executive Board, A. A. of L & s. w.,
Will Recommend the Old Scale.

The Executive Board, A. A. of L & S. w.,
Will Recommend the Old Scale.
The quarterly meeting of the Amalgamated
Association was held yesterday In President
Weihe's Office. and while nothing was given
out for publication by the officials. irwaslearned
that one or two matters OF considerable import
ance were taken up. There will only be another
meeting of the board before the June cOnven-
tion. hence matters pertaining to that had to
be considered.
The committee that met some weeks ago to
discuss a proposed change in the base of the
scale referred their task to the General Board,
and that formed a part Of yesterdays pro-
gramme, and although it is over four months
until the convention, 1t is safe to say that
no change will be made. 1t seems
this change was only desired by
few members anyway. who imagined the man
ufacturers were manipulating the iron market
to their advantage. The board also talked over
the new scale. but it is not probable that any
advance will be asked this year. The men ap-
preciate the condition the iron market has been
in for several months and will not attempt to
secure an increase unless vast Improvements
are made soon. The official actions Of the Of
ficers for the past three months were reported
and approved.

THE COLUMBUS MEETING.

Some Important Measures to Be Up To-
Day for Consideration.
Another delegation of miners left for Col
umbus last night to attend the convention
there to-day. That will be theemost important
meeting ever held by the organization.
The eight-hour demands which are to be pre-
pared is the most important feature of il.
These demands are to be m ade. and the
strength of the men will be sorely tested. john
Costello, who has been mentioned as candi-
date for President Rae's position, says he is
not in the fight. This may mean that he is
after the place to be vacated by Robert
Watchorn. who retires from the Secretaryship
to accept position under Governor Rattison.

figures he had indicated when the matter was
before Councils. The plans had to be pre-
priated for parks this year, the Colonel would
not be employed by the month. The plan
had TO be prepared before any work was done;
il would be years before this plan was entirely
carried out The sum was reasonable. He did
not believe that all the work would stop on the
park, although it might be that but very little
work would be done. If it were little or great,
it should be in accordance with the final plans.
After a long discussion, in which Mr.. Bge-
low explained the matter fully, Mr.. Taggart
offered an amendment postponing the resolu-
ton until the next meeting. This was lost.
and the resolution was adopted by vote of q
ayes to II noes.

The chances are the hospital will get 1t, though
Mr.. Patterson said the demands for charity all
over the State would have to be cut down. He
believes III judging the future by the past, and
where money has been wisely spent, he does
not hesitate to give more. The committee will
examine the West Penn Hospital to-day, when
their work will be finished here. Chairman ].

not cunning for opportunities to blow up their
employees He holds the mine boss who was
