called On the Mayor and other leading
citizens OF Fittsburg to stand by hin,
in trying to hold the city to her former
prestige. II not to make her "a better
and larger city
There was a conference between Mayor
Magee. some OF the leading financiers
Of the city and H. C, Frick in the office
OF the latter here this afternoon in which
the present OF Pittshurg was compared
with hcr past and the future vas dis
cussed. .After the conference the fol-
lowing statement was made by one who
was at the conference:
MIR. Prick warned Pittsburg as a city
and it's business men against the en-
c%roachment upon its heritage by the new
steel city of Gary, Ind He said that
Pittsburg fight for new business
and not only that but must be continually
on guard to hold what il has already
gained. He cautioned against any pic
ayune policy Of improvement and urged
Pittsburg to rise to the occasion and
the great cities Of the country
While Mr.. Frick's reference was in the
main to Gary, 1t is understood that he
discussed all the lake ports which have Of
late shown disposition to manufacture
iron and steel. taking the ground that
each new plant at the lakeside detracted
so much from the wealth of Pittsburg.
Mr.. Prick will have another conference
with business men in a few days, His
Pittsburg real estate holdings are thought
to aggregate SIS 900, 600. II is recalled
that many years g when Andrew Car
negie wanted to build a big steel mill at
Conneaut. Ohio, Mr., Prick opposed him,
though Mr.. Carnegie at that time VEN
tured the opinion that he would live to
see the great lakes trimmed with steel
mills to the detriment Of Pittsburg.
