hall will occupy the entire depth Of the build
ing and will have lofty ceiling, and it is esti-
,rnated that it will accommodate ], 200 to ], 400
people.
The necessity for more commodious quarters
has long been pressing one, but the difficulty
that has confronted the managers Of the mission
was to secure a suitable property in the right
locality. The nature of the work carried on by
the mission demands central location. The
building Just secured is plainly visible from
Pennsxlva avenue and is in the center Of a
thickly frequented section of the city. While it
has been held that the peculiar character Of the
work would be better served by location on
PENNSYLVANIA avenue somewhere between 9th
and 18th streets, yet it has been found impossi-
tle 10 secure the needed space for any amount
that the mission felt able to undertake.
SUSTAINED By VOLUNTARY contributions.
As is well known. the great work carried on
bv the mission is sustained by voluntary
contributions from individuals and from the
churches Of the city. A building fund was
started some time ago and money has been con-
tributed, but only enough to make a small pay
ment on this purchase. For the means to meet
the deferred payments and the interest the
mission managers look to the generosity Of the
public. which has recognized the value of
the work done by the mission in the past. With
the enlarged facilities provided by this build
ing. the mission looks forward to greatly ex-
tended Work. Inc preparation OF the Duilulng
for its new use will be begun at once.
THE BEST THAT COULD BE SECURED.
For more than three years the managers Of
the mission have been in search Of a suitable
location for the headquarters of their work. In
the opinion of the members Of the board. Of
the building committee and large number of
men whose judgment is worthy of respect this
property is the cheapest and, on the whole, the
most desirable that has been under considera-
ton. The inside of the building-the floors
and partitions-is diapidated and Will have
to be changed, but the walls and timbers of the
building are in perfeG. condition and very
strongly built

A SCALE OF WAGES AGREED ON.

Manufacturers and the Amalgamated Asso-
citation Come to Terms.
new iron scale has been agreed upon. As
a result the long-standing dispute between
the Pittsburg manufacturers and the conference
committee of the Aulalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers is at on end. Only one
thing now remains TO be done and that is for
the conferees to meet and Arrange for printing
the new scale.
Since the Inauguration OF the present
trouble there have been sixteen conferences
held Every one. with the exception of yes-
terday's. was without result and it began to
look as If there would be no outcome
Yesterdays conference began at 4 O'Clock
and at the announcement was made that
the scale had been signed. Immediately the
representatives of the manufacturers skipped
out for home and couldn't be found for in
terviews. The Amalgamated men, however.
gave out the new scale for publication it is
In appearance much like that of last year.
There are many items unchanged, but on the
higher grades of work there are such cuts made
that II Is said the average all-around reduction
Is nearly 10 per cent
Acting President weihe Of the AmalRamated
Association says the scale is made on a pud-
ding basis Of ESQ ton, just what the men
expected. As to the items and the way they
are left by the conference, he says the men
have done the best they could do under the
circumstances, considering the state Of trade
and the unsettled condition or affairs in which
the Carnegies are interested.
The signing of the scale by fourteen mills of
PittsbTg is considered by the Amalgamated
men rs a moral victory despite the cut Is the
act OF signing the scale for one year recognizes
the association and is o virtual admission that
the napufacturers can neither run non-union
nor AFFORD to do SO, II they could possibly find
the men to run with. Today the conference
with Ohio manufacturers will be held, when il
is expected q similar settlement will be effected.
