10Per Cent Wage Cu1
Restored 10 5000
By Westinghouse
Poy Returned to June,
1888, Level os Firms
Business Picks Up
By the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 6-The
Westinghouse Electric & Manufac-
turing Co. announced today it was
restoring a 10 per cent wage cut to
5000 of Its 5000 workers because
of improved business conditions"
The boost came as the steel in
dustry Joined other leaders in a
new year surge OF activity, with
Pittsburgh mills increasing output
more than IS per cent since the
holidays.
President George H. Bucher of
Westinghouse said all employees re-
ceiving $l25 monthly or less would
have their pay returned to the level
Of last June l. The company at that
time cut all salaried employees and
executives 10 per cent.
Less than "a hours before the an
nouncement, the company received
a 81 1888 900 contract for machinery
for two Navy battleships and a
$764 900 order for two giant power
generators at Charleston, S. C.
Informed steel sources were conf
dent business in 1899 will be better
than last year. Prices were firmer
than they have been in months
Labor seemed settled. The smaller
concerns buying raw steel and SELL
ing finished products have been
squeezed by prices and at least two
have obtained wage concessions.
Inventories are normal or low. Or
ders are increasing after a Decem-
ber lull.
The jump in steel operations-17
points in Pittsburgh to IS per cent
Of capacity, IS in Wheeling to II, II
in Cleveland to 81 and 7 in Chicago
to 5O-has been without benefit of
any considerable amount of buying
from three major consumers.
This trio-railS, oils and can
neries-usually place orders within
the next so days for the year. In
the past 60 days railroads have
placed orders for more than $20,-
O0O, 600 but many millions more
than this are expected, especially if
some plan for financial assistance
Is advanced the roads.
