Pittsburg, Jan. 2.-The 1900 en-

Carnegie Steel Co. at Braddock's yes
terday accepted the reduction in
wages offered them. There was but
little objection to the scale except
in some of the smaller departments,
where day wages and salaries are
paid. The tonnage meE in the con-
verting. mills and bloom mills of the
rail plant receive the heaviest cut,
which is from II to % per cent.
At Monessen the new wage scale
of the American Tin Plate Co. went
into effect at the National works. 1t
is said the salary of Superintendent
w. IL. Harris was cut from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. The brick masons were
reduced from 80 cents 81 hour to 25
cents, and rather than accept the so
per cent. reduction they refused to
work. superintendent Harris also
rendered his resignation, to take ef-
feet today. The tonnage men are not
affected by the cut, owing to the OPP

A BRILLIANT EVENT.
President Roosevelt Held the CustoIn-
ary New Years Reception and Greet
ed 6,7OS People,

ary New Years Reception and Greet
ed 100 People.
Washington, Jan. 2.-President and
Mrs. Roosevelt yesterday inaugurated
the official social season with a bril-
liant reception at the White House.
For more than hundred years it has
been the custom of presidents of the
United States to receive on New
Years day all officials Of the govern
ment located in Washington and such
citizens as might care to pay their
respects to the nations chief magis-
trate. In addition to citizens of the
United States, members of the diplo-
matte corps always embrace the op-
portunity personally to extend to the
president their own good wishes and
the greetings of their governments.
The reception of the president on
New Years day is thoroughly demo-
cratic. That Of yesterday was nota-
bly, so. No distinctions of rank or
class were made, except such as were
rendered necessary by a due respect
for order. All persons-rich or poor.
with or without rank-were given Il
gracious greeting by President and
Mrs. Roosevelt.
AT the conclusion of the reception
the president expressed his gratifica-
tion that it had passed Off so delight
fully. During the three hours and
eleven minutes he received GILL peo-
pie, only a few hundred less than
were received a year ago.
