PITTSBURG, Dec. 30.-The advent of
the new year will be accompanied by a
decided boom in Industrial circles in
this section. BY announcements made
| by the various mill owners on the South
side nearly every mill Will be in opera
tion by the middle of next week. Most
| of the plants will be run double turn,
something which they have not done
since the beginning Of the present de-
preston in business circles last spring.
| Tne resumption on the South side alone,
| it is estimated. will give employment to
| 1900 idle men. Among the mills pre-
| pairing to start up next week are the
| Sligo rolling mill, Oliver 81 Roberts
mammoth wire and rod works and Oil
ver's Tenth street mills. The three
| plants will all resume Tuesday or
| W ednesday.
! fDilwortt, Porter & Co., W. Wharton
Iron works and A. NJ. Byers & Co. have
been in partial operation for several
| weeks, but will begin work in several
other departments. Jones u Laughlin's
! works have been running right along,
and will continue to do so. The tire
and plate mills at the Black Diamond,
| which have been only running three
| daySa week, will be put Oil full turn
| Tuesday. There was rumor that the
| pudding department would be closed
next week, but it is almost certain now
that this will be averted.
As stated several days ago. all of the
Carnegie plants VIII be in operation on
| Monday. The various wage scales are
being rapidly accepted by the men.
The scale al Beaver Falls was signed
by 800 men yesterday, and fully as
many more have signed the Lawrence
vile scales. Nearly all the men have
signed at Homestead.
! Assurances have been given the men
that work will be reasonably steady, as
the company is taking all the orders it
can secure, with the intention of operat-
ing the mills as continuously as possible
After an idleness of nearly ten months
/ the Carrie Furnace No. l, at Keating
station. will be put in blast next week.

About 800 men will be given employ
gIent.
/ Munhall's coal works, near Home
stead, will resume work next week,
after being closed down for nearly five
months. Over 200 men will be given
work.
ROCHESTER, Pa, Dec 3O.-The Roch-
ester Tumbler works will start up next
Tuesday and 800 hands will be taken on
IN short time, as the large new fac
| tories will be started up double time.
/ Speaking of the proposed resump-
tions, Secretary Lovejey. of the Carne-
gle company, said tonight:
at is our intention to not allow our
] 1900 employees to want during the win
ter. We Will keep our plants in opera
| ton, and where mill is running on
single time we will provide for all our
| men by having alternating crews. In
| this way they will be furnished with
employment at least on half-time. The
statements that we intend cutting prices
is untrue. We will maintain rates, but
| will meet all competition
| The outlook is much better than at
any time since spring. There is bet
ter tone to the iron market, and orders
are coming in more freely.
