There has been some uncertainty re-
gardlng the future OF the reunion Of
the Society OF the Army OF West Yir-
glnla IL this city next September in the
event OF war between Spain and the
United stntes, and the belief has been
expressed that the arrangements will
BIO dropped and the reunion allowed TO
go by default.
From expressions made by members
OF some OF the reunion committees,
which recently began the work of ar
ranging for the, big gathering, 1t APP
pears that the project Will not be allow
ed to drop. II war ensues til likely that
the work OF arrangements will be de-
layed somewhat, but tho opinion Is
general that the conflict will not last
beyond the summer, and that peace Will
be restored some time before the reun-
lion dates, which are September 20, q
ind %.
Il is likely that the executive COM
mittee will meet In the event OF war
becoming fact, and the matter will be
thoroughly discussed. AS stated ABOVE,
however, It Is not likely that the COM
mittee will decide on anything more
radical than to remain inactive for
short time In order TO learn just what
effect the war will have on business In
this vicinity.
In the meantime the reunion Is being
given wide publicity through the excel-
lent bulletin service by the press COM
mIttee. The second number OF The Re-
union Bulletin" will be Issued shortly
before the first OF May. g
The finance committee was to have
met ere this, for the purpose OF begin
ming the work OF soliciting funds for
the reunion. but Chairman Wise has
wisely refrained from calling a meet
ing until the executive committee de-
cIdes what course will be pursued In
the event OF war.

TIE SHEET SCALE
Manufacturer Association met Yesterday
syF5.-.sS In pittsburgh.

lfnnufacturrrs' Association met Yesterday
In Pittsburgh.
The last meeting Of the Association Of
Iron and Steel Manufacturers, before
the settlement OF the annual wage
scales, was held yesterday in Pitts
burgh. The meeting was scheduled for
last week, but was delayed by the Ill
ness Of several members OF the organ-
cation. 3
The manufacturers are discussing the
changes in the wage lists that they de-
sire. They do not intimate what alter
atoms will be asked for athough the
sentiment In the trade seems to be IA
yorable to o continuance OF the prevail.
ing rates. It is likely that the manu-
facturers will make some arrangements
to have proposed changes in the scale
formulated and presented to the iron
and steel workers as a guide in the COM
pIlation Of the Amalgamated scales. It
is thought that such u procedure WOULD
lessen the labor on scale work. and cur
tail the amount Of friction and ,expendt-
ture OF time In arriving ut a satisfac-
tory adjustment. TUS - 55
The sheet trade at this time Is report
ed to be in very fair shape, says the
Pittsburgh Press. The volume OF bust
ness Is greater than it was last year.
Prices, however. are somewhat lower.
A compilation OF the prevailing qrota-
tons in all the iron and steel products
shows that this slight decrease in price
Is peculiar to the entire Market with
one or two slight exceptions.
This tendency in the market has
given rise to great deal Of speculation
on the probable outcome OF the iron and
steel scales this year. Most OF the lists
are based upon the selling price Of the
products IN the respective lines. The
general opinion seems to be that while
the market Is trlile unfavorable to ad-
vances there will be enhancements in
some lines, but that in the general body
OF the scales there Will be no particular
change.
